Alone/Shutterstock Humanity has used clocks since we became aware of the concept of time. And as technology has improved, so have our timing methods. Today, many people rely on digital clocks to track times and tell us when to wake up (even though physical alarm clocks are coming back into fashion). But these clocks are too rudimentary for the rigors of space. Or should we say inaccurate? Every time NASA launches something into space or even orbit, they are equipped with an atomic clock. Even GPS satellites use atomic clocks…

Sora makes his way through the town of Quadratum. Square-Enix Here’s something we weren’t expecting during Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct. Kingdom Hearts IV finally has a new trailer, more than four years after our first look at the game. While it still doesn’t have a release date, we now know that it will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on day one alongside other platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC). Much like the Square Enix gameplay footage previewed in 2022, the new trailer (below) shows Sora swinging his Keyblade through the city of Quadratum, which resembles a…

Apple added direct touch input to Sidecar with macOS 27 Golden Gate and iPadOS 27, allowing users to tap and interact with macOS interface elements using a finger on their iPad for the first time. Previously, Sidecar was deliberately limited as a touch interface. While multi-touch gestures such as two-finger scrolling, pinch-to-zoom, and three-finger editing gestures for copy, cut, paste, and undo have been supported for years, tapping directly to click links, open apps, or interact with macOS UI elements wasn’t possible with one finger. These interactions required either the Mac’s connected mouse or trackpad, or an Apple Pencil. The…
Apple’s WWDC 2026 keynote may have seemed relatively quiet on the Vision Pro side, but the visionOS 27 beta contains a decent amount of new features and quality of life improvements that are likely to be well received by the headset’s user base. As you might expect, visionOS 27 benefits from the new Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features that Apple brought to iOS 27 and macOS 27, but this time they feel more seamlessly integrated into the platform compared to previous efforts. For example, Vision Pro users can ask Siri about anything happening in their environment, and with visual…
Nintendo is also releasing Switch 2 versions of older Xenoblade games A brand new Xenoblade game is coming to Switch 2 in 2027. It’s called Xenoblade Genesis and this was revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct livestream. We even got a juicy trailer with lots of gameplay and a detailed look at the world. To that end, it feels like a whole new story in a whole new world. We don’t know much about this story, other than that the protagonist is enrolled in some sort of magic school (which reminds me Final Fantasy VIII.) Nintendo promises more details on…

Last year, singer Justin Bieber took to social media to complain about the placement of the dictation button in the text field of the Messages app on the iPhone, and Apple apparently listened. iOS 27 lets you disable the dictation button in the Settings app under Apps → Messages → Show in text field.

You’ll fight with and against up to seven other players in this action game. From the software The Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive from FromSoftware, Bloods of Twilightshould still arrive this year. We don’t have a release date yet — I hope FromSoft has the courage to try counter-programming Grand Theft Auto 6 in November – but it emerged during Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct that a closed network test would take place this summer. The latest trailer didn’t reveal much more, although we did get a few more glimpses of the Gothic, Transmitted by blood-esque frame. Bloods of…
macOS 27 Golden Gate adds support for pull-to-refresh on Mac, adopting one of the iPhone and iPad’s most familiar gestures for the first time. The feature, which Apple calls “Swipe Down to Refresh,” lets users swipe down in apps to retrieve the most recent content, rather than relying on a keyboard shortcut or menu item. Apple has confirmed that Safari, Mail, News, Podcasts, and Calendar are among the apps supporting the gesture at launch. Pull-to-refresh has been a staple of iOS and iPadOS for many years, providing an intuitive, gesture-based way to update app content. Its arrival on macOS suggests…
