Happy weekend, everyone, and welcome back to 3-Ingredient Happy Hour, the weekly drink column featuring super-simple yet delicious libations. Claire is in LA filming new food content, which means it’s time for another guest post. This week, we’re making the most A.A. Newton cocktail of all time: One that contains…

Today we’re going to tackle the iconic behaviour of a Gym Arsehole: dropping their weights. BOOM. Blech sums up the question that many of us have found ourselves thinking:
The titanium Apple Card is a brand new credit card that launched this week in the U.S. and it’s already developed a laughable reputation. Americans are now free to enjoy all the benefits of the new card but here’s the kicker: they probably won’t want to store Apple’s credit card…

A few weeks ago I attended a music festival with some friends. At some point, I was scrolling through Instagram Stories and then put my phone in my pocket. When I took it out a little while later I realised that I had apparently sent DMs to a number of…
The imminent launch of Android 10 (née “Android Q”) will bring a host of new things to do, and several built-in Android apps are also prepping a few fun features that you can try out right now — no Android Q needed. These include Google’s own Digital Wellbeing app, which…
Jaybird has been making fantastic, fitness focused headphones since 2007. The company has released a few “truly wireless” headphones in the last few years, but like so many in the market, the buds themselves and the charging case they came in were too bulky to really compete with Apple’s market…
Google has finally unveiled the name of its upcoming Android update. While it was tentatively called Android Q and expected to be named after a sweet fruit or dessert, Google announced it was ditching its playful tone and giving it a much more standard tech name. While the news is…
When I got to the desk at the airport to check my bag for a flight to Australia last year I had an unexpected surprise: I needed a visa, and I didn’t have one.
In the last three months, the Australian Classification Board has “refused classification” for at least four video games – effectively banning them in Australia. The latest is zombie-survival shooter DayZ. Despite being previously available on digital storefronts with an MA15+ rating, it was banned when its developers tried to get…
People who go to the gym every day tend to be happy with their habit — that’s why they keep coming back. But plenty of folks aspire to do that, and haven’t quite figured out how. Since I am one of those people (I even work out on holiday, sorry)…
There’s currently a man-made fire raging through the Amazon rain forest – and it’s burning down trees at the fastest rate ever recorded. The smoke is reaching cities thousands of miles away with no end to the destruction in sight. Here’s what ordinary people can do to help.
Nearly every job interview ends with a variation of: “Do you have any questions you’d like to ask us?” It goes without saying that you don’t want to draw a blank here. By the same token, you also don’t want to ask a dumb question that negatively impacts the rest…
Microsoft’s speedy Chromium-based Edge browser has been available in both developer and canary builds (not mention leaked versions) for months. Now that the company has officially launched a more stable “beta” channel of the browser, you might want to finally take the plunge and give Edge a try.
Christmas time should be used to sit back with a glass of vino and relax, but unless we plan ahead, it can turn into absolute chaos.
In the modern internet era, it’s safe to assume that there’s at least one company watching everything you do on the internet at all times, poised to profit from that data. Yes, that includes adult sites – in fact they’re among the worst offenders.
We’ve been speculating for some time what might happen to Stan’s library when Disney+ rolls into Australia. In 2018, Stan and Disney struck an epic content deal to screen Disney and Marvel content, removing it from Netflix’s streaming service. But with the news of Disney+’s release in November and Stan’s…
Every few months, I try some version of the Pomodoro Technique, the famous productivity system where you take a 5-minute break every half hour, and a half-hour break every two and a half hours. I follow it closely, then I follow it loosely, then I give up. If this has…
Few people think of red wine as something that needs to be chilled. Red wine, after all, is usually served at “room temperature,” but that value can vary wildly from room to room, house to house, and climate to climate. But most red wines benefit from at least a little…
While many of us own both a console and a PC, there are many who stand firmly behind the PC for all gaming activities because of superior graphics. I personally enjoy consoles being the great equaliser for those who can’t afford to keep up with the latest tech but again,…
Earlier this year, Google announced that its line of Nest smart home devices would be folded into its “helpful home” initiative. A side effect of this move is IFTTT fans would no longer be able to build triggers and automations using their Nest devices, starting on August 31, 2019.
A big part of being a kid is building things, deconstructing things and, in general, discovering how things work — that’s why we buy those starter science experiment kits and toy microscopes to encourage their curiosity. But it’s easy to run out of ideas to keep them interested in science,…
Samsung’s “Link to Windows” feature is a lot like Microsoft’s Your Phone app. It lets you sync your Galaxy Note 10-series phone to your PC via its Quick Settings menu. Once connected, you can access your messaging apps, notifications, photos, and other phone functions directly from your Windows desktop.
Simple SMS messaging is so passé. Nowadays, there are hundreds of chat apps ready to connect friends in new and inventive ways. Here are 11 contenders that have been making waves recently.
Disney Plus (or Disney+, if you prefer) is almost upon us. We know many important details about the House of Mouse’s standalone streaming service — including how much it’ll cost in Australia and what you’ll be able to watch. Now a final piece of the puzzle has been revealed: all…
Little kids are notorious for asking incessant questions, the most common variety being the endless, “Why?” And we try to answer them – we always swore we’d be the parent who would encourage their curiosity, after all – but sometime between the fifth and tenth “why?” you’re either over it…

Every cook needs a go-to dessert recipe. Even if you insist you’re really more of a cook than a baker, even if you’re put off by scales and stand mixers and specialty flours and expensive silicone mats, I promise that there’s a back-pocket recipe out there for you — and…
The next time you need to offer feedback or criticism, think about the goal you’re trying to achieve — and then choose the method of feedback that is best suited to that goal.
As we recently discovered, some things (pancakes) just aren’t meant to be pressure cooked. But a warm, sweet and doughnut-like breakfast bread pudding? That does quite well.
The U.S. presidential election is more than a year away, but one topic that’s heading toward the top of the discussion list is the economy. With signs pointing to a downturn, how will American economic health impact the election?
The Pixel 3a was a great addition for people wanting all the features of a flagship phone without paying top-whack. While it had many impressive bells and whistles, you could not – probably for some dumb reason – use Google Playground in selfie mode. That all changes now.
Swimming is excellent exercise, but it can be difficult to take it on if you don’t already have a background in it. Here’s how to make your journey a little bit easier.
