My great grandmother was a pianist for silent films. I’ve been told music skipped generations and landed in me, but I don’t believe that stuff. You don’t need a family background to have an innate calling. Still, I have always been into music – I started singing before I could speak properly and formed my first band at 16 after hearing Republica’s Ready To Go. At 18, I moved to London and joined a band. We had a record deal, but it wasn’t my band. When it all went awful and ended, I didn’t lose a catalogue of songs; the…
We’ve all experienced it. You’ve wrapped up a conversation with a friend or loved one, only to have an advert about the exact thing you were talking about appear the next time you scroll through Instagram or watch a YouTube video. Big coincidence or tech world conspiracy? I’m afraid I don’t have the answer – but if we’re already assuming our gadgets are snooping in to every word we say, why fret over ones that are upfront about their listening habits? First, Meta’s new Audio AI Glasses asked whether removing the camera was enough to shake the “pervert glasses” label.…
If I had an unlimited tech budget for expensive gadgets, a rib-shaking home theatre system would be near the top of my list. A screen big enough to get lost in a film, a sound system to match, and a very comfortable chair would be a good start, too. There’s much more to explore beyond the living room, though. You can buy a bath that makes its own ice, relax beneath a heated sauna dome, or even order a single-seat electric aircraft. This wish list not-so-so incidentally covers eight such extravagances, with a few that would take considerably more nerve…
Thousands of the best free iPhone and iPad games are available to download for free. The sheer selection is part of the reason the iPhone is among the best phones on sale today. The snag is that many are awful to the point they’d be an embarrassment on a 1980s home computer – or packed with enough freemium gunk to suffocate a hippo. However, the standouts are some of the best free games around for mobile. That’s what we’re interested in at Stuff: the very best iPhone and iPad games to play today! So to help you find your next…
If you’re in the market for the best tablet, it’s worth considering a few options beyond the popular models from Apple and Samsung. One of those is, of course, Amazon, which has emerged as a major player at the cheaper end of the tablet market. Amazon offers a pretty diverse range of tablets under the Fire branded lineup, so we’ve rated the best Fire tablets to make your decision easier. As they all derive from Camp Bezos, Amazon Fire tablets come with a certain seal of approval that other retailers may not provide. Much like the Echo, Fire tablets are…
Smartphones that transform into sizeable tablets used to be pure sci-fi… but now bendable screens are our tech reality. Besides the obvious wow factor, these book-style foldables offer innovative flexibility that could change the way you use your mobile – while also packing in hardware to rival the best phones with more traditional form factors. Think folding phones are just a hinged gimmick? Think again. The best foldable phones are about as versatile as handsets get, even if they almost exclusively come at prices that make regular flagships look cheap. We’ve tested them all to work out which is best,…
Luxury watchmaking in 2026 has been anything but predictable (is it ever?) Alongside the familiar parade of precious metals, complicated movements and painstakingly finished dials, this year’s most interesting launches have really shaken things up. We’ve seen watchmakers experiment with unusual materials, collaborate with unexpected brands, and find new ways to combine centuries-old craftsmanship with ultra-modern engineering. Here are 17 of the most incredible luxury watches launched in 2026 – from technically bonkers to beautifully understated. 1. Daniel Roth Extra Plat Rose Gold Gilt Starting with perhaps the most understated watch on this list, Daniel Roth has revived the gilt…
Electric options in the seven-seat arena have really picked up lately, with the Mercedes-Benz GLB, Hyundai Ioniq 9, Kia EV9 and Peugeot e-5008 all vying for a spot on your large family’s driveway. Now Skoda is wanting in on the action with the Peaq, its largest and most premium SUV to date. Quite how often all those seats get filled is something I’m curious about – but having them as an option if your kids have several friends has got to be a bonus. I also think the Peaq will work just fine for anyone with less need to get…
I’m an iMac guy. Sure, I’ve had the odd detour. Once, I even convinced myself that I absolutely needed a gigantic metal tower with four hard drives all humming away inside, making WHOOOMM WHOMMMMMMMM vibrations that emanated through the entire house, as if it was paying host to an evil TARDIS. But I always loved the iMac, even when I didn’t own one myself. And now I have owned various models for years, I’m loath to give up the iMac’s mix of convenience, elegance and all-in-one-desktopience. This puts me in a minority. Macs are a minority of Apple’s sales – albeit…
Amazon Prime Big Deals Days are back! It’s really just Amazon’s own version of Black Friday but a month early and follows up on the summer’s Prime Day. With more than 20 Amazon sales behind me, I’ll be combing through everything that’s on offer and bringing you my top picks. There are set to be plenty of savings across top brands like Shark, Lego and Braun as well as on Amazon’s own tech such as the all-conquering Kindle. The sale is taking place on 6-7 October. Once again Prime members will take pole position for the deals, with two days…
