Pixar just released the first Toy Story 5 teaser today and we’re back in Bonnie’s room where Woody, Buzz and the gang are in for their biggest challenge yet. A frog-shaped smart tablet named Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee, has arrived and the old guard of pull-string cowboys and space rangers are in trouble.
Open a photo in Google Photos today, tap edit and select “Help me edit”. From there, type or say a simple request and Nano Banana will do the rest. This model built by Google DeepMind is now live on both Android and iOS in the US.
Apple has just introduced a new way to carry an iPhone, and it comes from an unexpected source. The company collaborated with Japanese fashion house Issey Miyake to design the iPhone Pocket, a flexible knitted pouch that fits over the phone like a sleeve. This attachment, available beginning Friday, November 14, transforms the smartphone into something you can wear rather than stuff in your jeans pocket.

You find yourself in a garden at the perfect time, when the golden hour paints everything in a warm gentle light. A bee hovers annoyingly close to your lens, a tiny speck of pollen clinging to its leg. In the background, a rose blooms in the distance – and then beyond that, a stunning mountain range stretches out to meet the horizon. No matter how good your camera is, even a fancy $10,000 mirrorless beast, you’re always going to have to make some compromises – choose the bee and the mountains will turn into a blur of creamy bokeh. Some have even tried light-field cameras that inevitably sacrifice resolution for a bit of extra versatility. Every one of them is some kind of compromise.
Viwoods is making a splash in the crowded world of compact e-readers with the AiPaper Reader – a tiny device that squeezes the standard e-book experience into a phone-sized package while still delivering plenty of power. Measuring 159.4 by 80.3 by 6.7 millimeters and tipping the scales at just 138 grams, this reader slips easily into a jeans pocket alongside your phone. Hold it in your hand during your daily commute and the matte finish and rounded edges make it a joy to hold, with no unsightly indentations to deal with.
Tesla has turned its showrooms into rental counters and starting this month, anyone in California can walk into select stores, show a driver’s license, provide a credit card, and drive away in a Model 3, Model Y or even a Cybertruck for as little as $60 a day. No mileage limits, free Supercharging and full self driving all included at no extra charge. Is there a catch? You have to return it within a week and can’t cross state lines.
NGC 1511, a spiral galaxy located 50 million light-years away in the serene constellation Hydrus, will not remain calm. New Hubble Space Telescope photos reveal a disc practically edge-on, burning blue with millions of newborn stars. The birthplace of new suns is marked by red and pink hydrogen clouds. Dark ribbons of dust cross the face, obstructing light and heightening the already tense situation.
Razer made the Orochi V2, priced at $33.99 (was $69.99), small enough to slip unnoticed into a laptop sleeve, measuring in at 4.2 by 2.4 by 1.5 inches. That size allows it to fit alongside a charger or power bank in your carry on without hogging up space. For those of us who haul laptops through airports, every gram counts – and the Orochi V2 barely registers in a pocket, weighing in at under 60 grams without a battery – or 64 grams if you spring for a slim AAA.
Dr. Olaf Meynecke just wanted to see humpback whales migrate. So, he attached small suction-cup cameras to their backs along Australia’s eastern coast to record feeding patterns and social calls on the long journey from Antarctica to Queensland. Instead, the lenses filled with fish.
