Is this new smartwatch the Goldiclock you’ve been looking for? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello! And welcome to the first instalment of Looking for Goldiclocks, a three-part series where we seek to unearth the clock Goldilocks would wear on her wrist, if only she had survived the bear attack and was alive today. Yes, apparently the three bears impaled Goldilocks on a church steeple in the original telling of the fairytale, but we’re not going to let such a trifling detail stand between us and a thorough analysis of the latest wrist-worn clocks (which is to say, smartwatches).

Can you wear AI glasses and not look like a pervert? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I half expected this review would begin with me being chased out of a cafe as a pervert.

It’s not even the first electronic toothbrush we’ve tested in recent weeks that features a tiny video camera you stick in your mouth, nor the first one that uses artificial intelligence to analyse the live image of your teeth streaming off that camera, to assist with your dental hygiene.

The chipocalypse has changed the way Australians buy phones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The explosion in the number of AI data centres around the globe has claimed another victim: it’s changed the way Australians buy mobile phones, forcing them to miss out on the latest models just to keep ahead of steep price rises, new data shows. Australians are now holding on to their phones for an average of 3.4 years before upgrading them, six months shorter than they did before the rapid build-out of AI data centres caused a global shortage of many of the chips used in mobile phones, laptops
