Apple's iPhone 16 redesign spells doom for microchip business
We've heard plenty of rumours about the design of the iPhone 16, with the next generation of Apple's smartphone said to be gaining, among other things, a redesigned camera layout and larger screens. And if new rumours are to be believed, design changes could be having an impact on FaceID too.
Are you sitting comfortably? Dr Lindsey Migliore explodes the myths around good posture and how to choose an office chair
When the words 'sitting properly' are mentioned, I get stark images of serious people doing serious desk work, all the while holding their backs seriously upright. These images bear absolutely no resemblance to the people I've worked with over the years, because no one actually sits like that. And even though there's an industry in making the best ergonomic chairs for back pain, I don't think that's ever going to change.
Making Hyper Light Breaker's fizzy 80s anime character designs
Anyone who played Hyper Light Drifter fell in love with its colourful, impressionistic world rendered in tiny pixels. Our minds filled in the gaps and embellished every angular, geometric ruin and colour-washed 8-bit forest. With follow-up Hyper Light Breaker, set in a 3D open world, developer Heart Machine is colouring inside the lines for us.
I got hands-on with the new Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 and I'm pretty impressed
Samsung has today announced its exciting new lineup of foldable and flippy phones, extending the popular product range with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. I got a first look at these latest AI smartphones over at Samsung HQ, and I'm impressed with the innovative new features, generous camera upgrades, and design modifications improving on the Flip/Fold 5 series.
'A transparent platform is essential': Vimeo adds AI content labelling
As AI-related controversies grow in ubiquity, we've seen varying approaches from tech brands and platforms in recent months. Just last week, Nintendo decalred a wholesale rejection of generative AI. Others are promoting transparency, including video sharing platform Vimeo. In a new blog post, Vimeo CEO Philip Moyer has announced that...
Can Penji solve the problem of creative work in the gig economy?
Expanding the potential talent pool for your company or idea was one of the great failed promises of the internet era. Sure, some co-working and gig economy services do what they say on the tin, but as many of us have discovered, being able to cast your net wide for professional services means you'll attract everyone – not just the pros you're hoping for but armies of dodgy hobbyists and content sweatshops.
Dell Precision 7780 review: Unbeatable power with a sizeable display
The Dell Precision 7780 is a high-performing and well-engineered laptop that has the power that modern-day creative professionals crave. Intel's i7 CPU and Nvidia's RTX 3500 GPU are the brains behind the machine and they won't let you down. I love the 17.3-inch display that has enough screen real-estate to handle applications such as Blender, Photoshop, and DaVinci Resolve. I would have liked to have seen a better placed trackpad and 4K display resolution but these are minor issues on an otherwise impressive laptop.
Epic Affinity free trial is perfect timing for creatives looking for an Adobe alternative
Photoshop-maker Adobe has had a difficult few weeks, and Serif's Affinity has been quick to offer an alternative to disgruntled creatives. It's launched an unprecedented six-month free trial of its creative apps, giving new users plenty of time to try the software – as well as the chance to get it permanently at half price.
Paramount’s potential new logo is the opposite of a glow-up
The Paramount logo has been an iconic emblem in the film studio sphere since the early 20th century and naturally, most of us have become quite accustomed to the design. In an unexpected (and frankly unappreciated) move the legendary studio has teased a new logo design, blending its classic identity with its new acquisitor company, Skydance Media.
Crescent County is "whimsical, warm and silly," and a smart use of Unreal Engine 5
Anna Hollinrake has been making games for a decade but nothing is as personal as her latest project, Crescent County. It's the first game in development by her own indie studio Electric Saint (co-founded with Pavle Mihajlovic), drawn from her experiences of starting out and finding her place in the world, and well… it features adorable witchy-motorbroom-racing, something the artist has been drawing for seven years.
"I start every morning with an energy check": a day in the life of Niceshit Studio's Carmen Angelillo
Carmen Angelillo is the co-founder and creative director of Barcelona's Niceshit Studio. Originally from Italy, she cut her teeth at a stop motion studio and then London's Animade before forming Niceshit Studio with Guido Lambertini and Rodier Kidmann. I recently met her in Barcelona, where she showed me round Niceshit's...
