Sony’s new CEO, Kenichiro Yoshida, has a three-year plan to improve the company’s profits. During a presentation to investors today, he promoted three core areas of investment—services, semiconductors, and AI/robotics. If you’re a fan of Sony, one key thing seems to be missing from that future: Gadgets.
One of the best controllers you can get for your PC or Xbox is the super customizable Microsoft Elite, but if you’re a PS4 fan you’ll have to go to third party peripheral maker Scuf to get any kind of customization. We’ve liked Scufs PS4 controllers in the past quite a bit, but its latest PS4 controller, the Vantage,…
Though it’s sure to be a while before we learn more specific details about the plot of Sony’s followup to Spider-Man: Homecoming, the latest bit of casting news suggests that the webhead’s about to go up against one of his wildest classic villains. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony has its sights set on Jake…
Once you’ve seen Avengers: Infinity War and processed your emotions, the questions begin to sink in. Did that really happen? What’s next for them? And then you look at the bigger picture and think, what about next year?
Heart of Darkness is widely considered a classic of English-language literature, one that’s influenced and been adapted in a variety of ways, including the movie Apocalypse Now. One more adaptation is on the way, and it’s going to send the Joseph Conrad novel to space.
The first teaser from a few weeks back didn’t give people what they really wanted: a symbiote-powered metahuman with a questionable sense of morality. But the trailer that just dropped does exactly that. “We” are pleased.
It’s unclear when the Sony Sports boombox became my must-have gadget, but I think it was around 1992. With its bright yellow case, the portable music machine could be spotted from across the pool like a big bright sign that screamed, “I am rugged and cool!” I wanted one for all the wrong reasons, and now, it’s strange…
The Thor: Ragnarok gang’s getting back together! Tessa Thompson will star in the Men in Black spinoff, joining Chris Hemsworth to basically create the greatest film of all time.
Sony only announced its plans for a 2019 Men in Black spinoff in September last year, but the studio might have already found one of its stars in the form of the God of Thunder himself.
Sony just announced a brand new, super cheap (for what it is) full-frame mirrorless camera that could make every high-end micro 4/3 camera, like the Panasonic GH5 and GH5s, look like complete garbage. The news came at the Wedding & Portrait Photographer International trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada (yep, that’s a…
How many times have you seen this: A guy or gal walking down the street with one earbud in, while the other hangs loose around their shoulders and neck like some ridiculous techie bolo tie. If you’re like me, it’s a daily occurrence, and a sad symptom caused by design that doesn’t quite work.
You wouldn’t know it, because Sony never seems to have brought its phones to the US until well after the fact, but not too long ago, Sony was a force (at least design-wise) in the smartphone world thanks to devices like the OG Xperia Z and the innovative Xperia Play. It was making cool looking phones while also…
This year, Marvel Studio’s cinematic universe of superhero films turns 10—a milestone for a movie franchise that’s had such a fundamental impact on Hollywood, and shows no signs of stopping. But it only happened because of what turned out to be a monumental mistake a decade before Iron Man hit screens... a mistake by…
Marvel is owned by Disney. DC Comics by Warner Bros. And now, joining them in the “vast superhero universe owned by a multimedia conglomerate” family is Valiant, which announced its complete acquisition by DMG Entertainment (Looper, Iron Man 3). The reason is similar to its fellow publishers: To spearhead…
For three years now I’ve been using the Sony A7S as my primary camera. It’s compact and it’s incredible in low-light, but in certain regards the camera is starting to show its age and doesn’t really fit all my needs: It’s limited to 12-megapixel photos, and it can’t shoot 4K video without an external recorder. As…
Do you remember back in the 90s, when high-definition TVs first started to become popular? Seeing that HD for the first time, the sharpness seemed almost impossible compared to existing technology. But this year, several top tech companies showed off 8K screens with 16-times as many pixels as those old 1080p HD TVs.…
There was once a time when Sony’s Xperia phones were some of the slickest, most fashionable Android phones out there, thanks to their stylish, minimalist designs and trend-setting features like water-resistance way back in 2013. Somewhere along the line, the company got stuck in a rut, and despite having phones with…
First Sony killed Aibo, the little dumb robot dog. Then, like a phoenix, Aibo rose from the ashes, new and improved, with LED eyes and a soft little back. This good boy, who went on pre-order in Japan last year for 198,000 Yen (~$1,750), will go on sale on Thursday, January 11. In Japan. Which is not America. Which is…
Take a moment and step back to January 2017. That’s when Sony announced the A1E OLED, a cool new TV that used the display itself as part of the speaker. The big problem with the TV was how weird it looked. So Sony fixed that, and the new A8F series is decidedly more traditional.
