Check out the electric Ford Mustang Mach E before you’re supposed to see it
Ford hoped to keep the Mustang-inspired electric crossover it announced over a year ago under wraps until its official debut on November 17, but a leak has fully revealed the model ahead of time. Named Mustang Mach E, the four-door people-mover will compete in the same segment as the upcoming Tesla Model Y when it begins arriving in showrooms. Ford has dabbled in EVs before; it sold a battery-powered Focus in many markets, and it experimented with an electric Ranger pickup during the 1990s, but these were low-volume vehicles based on existing, gasoline-powered models. The Mustang Mach E was developed with electric driving in mind from the get-go, and it shows. What is it? Previous Next 1 of 8 It’s important to make the distinction between Mustang-inspired and Mustang-based. Despite having “Mustang” in the name, there’s no evidence suggesting the Mustang Mach-E cars will share any major components with the actual Mustang.

Amazon Fire HD 6 review
Amazon Fire HD 6 Score Details “Amazon’s Fire HD 6 looks like the kind of tablet you’d give a kid for Christmas, and at $100, it’s the best bargain you’ll find.” It costs $100 Bright color options Ideal for kids Sturdy build Bad camera Kind of heavy for its size Laggy performance Limited apps and storage We live in a world full of boring black rectangles, but every now and then, we come across a device that stands out from the crowd. Amazon’s Fire HD 6 is the brightly colored peacock of the dirt-cheap tablet underground. The chunky little tablet sports a 6-inch screen and comes in cheerful, exciting colors. Sure, it’s got mid-to-low-end specs and isn’t the fastest slate out there, but it certainly is cute. It’s the kind of tablet you’d give a kid for Christmas. Still, there are a lot of other low-cost tablets out there and it’s hard to know which one to … [Read more...] about Amazon Fire HD 6 review
Don’t be fooled by dystopian sci-fi stories: A.I. is becoming a force for good
One of the most famous sayings about technology is the “law” laid out by the late American historian Melvin Kranzberg: “Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral.” It’s a great saying: brief, but packed with instruction, like a beautifully poetic line of code. If I understand it correctly, it means that technology isn’t inherently good or bad, but that it will certainly impact upon us in some way — which means that its effects are not neutral. A similarly brilliant quote came from the French cultural theorist Paul Virilio: “the invention of the ship was also the invention of the shipwreck.” “Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral.” To adopt that last image, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is the mother of all ships. It promises to be as significant a transformation for the world as the arrival of electricity was in the nineteenth and twentieth century. But while many of us will coo excitedly … [Read more...] about Don’t be fooled by dystopian sci-fi stories: A.I. is becoming a force for good
‘Monster Hunter: World’ beginners guide
Monster Hunter: World isn’t subtle. You are here to hunt monsters. It sounds simple, but there’s a lot that goes into it — tracking, getting geared up, studying the creatures, and preparing for your bouts. What’s more, the New World is packed with gargantuan creatures including dragons, dinos, and great aquatic beasts. Many have weak points, hunting patterns, defensive tactics, preferred prey, et cetera, that you at least need to be somewhat familiar with to take them down. It’s Dark Souls on safari. There aren’t too many shortcuts here, nor is it generally feasible to rush a hunt. If you go in without the right know-how and without the right gear, you will get stomped and ground to dust in seconds.
