A decade ago — when apps that were both useful and delightful were even harder to come by — Wunderlist was both full of useful features and whimsical in a way few apps manage. The app had nice animations, beautiful backgr...

That’s the word from 4KFilme, which discovered that their smart TVs from Sony, LG, a...

Buying Guide An all-in-one security camera with motion-activated light and continuous power, an outdoor floodlight camera is a simple way to add safety and security to your home’s perimeter. By Jennifer Pattison Tuohy, a smart home reporter who’s been testing connected gadgets since 2013. Previously a writer for Wirecutter, Wired, Dwell, and US News. When something goes bump in the night in your backyard, you probably want to know about it. While regular security cameras with night vision can show you what’s out there, a floodlight camera can show you and tell that rascal or raccoon to get off your lawn, scaring them away with some powerful lumens and possibly a blaring siren. While there’s mixed research on whether outdoor lighting is a significant crime deterrent or just potentiall...

/ New Deadpool 3 trailer introduces Wolverine and Marvel’s foul-mouthed mercenary to the MCU.

It’s Super Bowl time again, which means it’s also time for the Puppy Bowl and Nickelodeon’s slime-filled broadcast. But amid all of that, we’ll have the biggest collection of ads anyone looks forward to watching. We probably won’t see much in the way of crypto ads, but we probably will see at least some AI ads, and you can bet Apple will be at the ready with a Vision Pro commercial. Of course, companies want to get all the mileage they can out of these frequently big budget commercials, so lots are already out there. Ahead of the Super Bowl, Microsoft released a Copilot AI ad for “the big game.” Google has one for the Pixel phone’s AI-powered Guided Frame camera accessibility feature. I’m conflicted about Patrick Stewart singing along to Creed’s “Higher,” but Paramount Plus’ Super Bowl com...
