The once most-overlooked Fujifilm camera might become my favorite

Right now, there are five Fujifilm cameras that are using the exact same 40MP sensor. So picking the right one for you can be confusing, but fret not. Most Fuji cameras offer similar results, and your choice might come down to just the form factor. The good news is that Fujifilm’s latest camera, the X-E5 , is packed with top features in a form factor that has won me over. This year, the X-E5 grew in size and price. The $1,700 camera is slightly larger and heavier than the X-E4, borrowed a new l

This Emoji Won Most Popular New Emoji, but It Was Never Really a Contest

Emoji are a fun way to communicate with others, and the internet celebrates this with World Emoji Day every July 17 (since that's the date on the calendar emoji). As part of those celebrations, Emojipedia, an online directory of emoji and their meanings, announces awards for most popular new emoji, most anticipated emoji and even lifetime achievement awards.

Unicode's new emoji refuses to put respect on Bigfoot's name

'Hairy Creature' is one of several new emoji coming in Unicode 17.0. The Unicode Consortium has announced that it's adding what's essentially a Bigfoot emoji to the open Unicode standard this fall. The famous cryptid will appear as "Hairy Creature" alongside a selection of other fun new emoji options in Unicode 17.0. It might seem strange that a consortium of companies as powerful as Apple, Google and Microsoft would practically subtweet one of North America's most famous semi-mythological cre

Apple launches new emoji word game to take on Wordle and the NYT

It’s called simply Emoji Game, and each day you’re presented with three phrases, which have some letters filled in, but are mostly blank. There’s a partial hint as to what the word or phrase is that you’re trying to complete, and then a whole bunch of emoji at the bottom. The idea is to take the words or sounds the emoji represent and use them to fill in the blanks. So — and this is just an example I made up, so it’s not a spoiler — you might be presented with SH_ _ _, and an emoji of an elf. St

In fact, we apparently send five billion of the little critters every day. World Emoji Day is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that Jul

We Can’t Get Enough of Jimmy Olsen in ‘Superman’

“What is going on with Jimmy Olsen?” I recently asked the stars of Superman. “What is it about that guy?” “He’s got rizz,” replied Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Olsen’s fellow reporter Lois Lane. “This is a true fact about Skyler Gisondo,” Clark Kent himself, David Corenswet, added about the Olsen actor. “Which I hope is appropriate to share. Sorry, Skyler… His testosterone is through the roof. Off the charts. True story. So of course, who is surprised that his Jimmy Olsen is pulling the kind of g
