Apple is taking to the skies.

Apple’s newest MacBook Pro laptops have been met with mixed reviews. Some are concerned that the laptops are underpowered for the price Apple is charging, especially given that the company is using Intel processors that were released over a year ago.

GoPro’s terrible 2016 continues.

Alexa is heading to the big screen.

The giant spaceship is nearing completion.

Black Friday is a great way for manufacturers to get rid of inventory—it’s like a great end-of-year purge, before the new year’s gadgets are revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January.

After years of waiting, Apple has finally released a new MacBook Pro model, just in time for the holidays. But if you’re thinking of getting one or planning to give one as a gift, there’s just one more thing that you’ll probably have to consider.

The robots are coming—to spread some holiday cheer.

Nov. 24 is Thanksgiving in the US—a day fraught with stress over cooking, conversing with politically diverse family members, and having to watch hours and hours of football while fighting back a tryptophan hangover. But what if the power of modern technology could cut out at least some of that hassle? Autel Robotics, a very orange drone company based in Shenzhen, China, thinks it might have the answer: Use a drone to do all the cooking for you. (Chainmail glove sold separately.)

The company that is forcing its customers to go wireless by removing ports from all of its devices is reportedly going to stop manufacturing wireless routers.

Fireworks are great. They tap into some Neanderthalic love we harbor for watching things on fire explode. But fireworks are also expensive, difficult to set up in large quantities, and can’t be reused. What if you could replace them with drones?

It’s a brave new world—for pizza.

Apple has its sights set on strapping even more devices to your body.

Nintendo’s most famous son, the plumber from Brooklyn, is heading to the iPhone and iPad on Dec. 15, the company announced Nov. 15.

Last week, Google’s new Daydream View VR headset was released. It’s been getting mixed reviews. Some people love that it’s affordable, not made of cardboard, and comes with a handy little remote, while others are less convinced about having to strap a headset made out of seemingly the same material as a pair of sweatpants to their face. Regardless, it’s not entirely clear what you’re supposed to do with this device or those similar to it. Quartz spent the last week with the headset, and couldn’t really figure it out.

After about four years, Apple has finally overhauled its flagship laptop, the MacBook Pro.

In a bizarre twist after a strange week, it seems that we are all dead. That is according to Facebook, at least.

In a world where a reality TV star has been elected president of the US, it seems increasingly believable that a culture where everyone is always being filmed, always able to share their most intimate moments at the push of a button, is coming.
