The 8 Best Drones (2025): Flight-Tested and Reviewed

By beaming an ultra-low latency live feed from its camera directly into a pair of goggles, a first-person view (FPV) drone puts you right in the cockpit of a small and agile aircraft able to squeak through the smallest of gaps and pull off breath-taking moves like flips, barrel rolls, loops and vertical plunges. These aren’t drones you buy to get pristine photos of wide open vistas so much as to experience (and document) an adrenaline-inducing rollercoaster ride through a tight, obstacle-populat

Universal and Blumhouse’s first M3gan feature came out of nowhere with a premise so ridiculous and campy that it was hard not to be at least a little intrigued. Equal parts Child’s Play and Small Wonder, M3gan was undeniably silly with its story about an AI-powered doll who sang Sia’s “Titanium” and danced around as she chopped people

Joybird Eliot Sleeper Sofa Review: Gorgeous and Functional

Back in 2020, my colleague Scott Gilbertson tried the Joybird Eliot sofa. And he hated it. Ever since, the Joybird Eliot has been the only pick in the “Avoid” section of our couches buying guide. When Joybird reached out explaining that it had revamped the Eliot (and its customer service—more on that later), I was skeptical about trying it.

As ‘F1’ hits theaters, how big does it need to be to count as a hit?

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-24 04:29:18

Apple Original Films just had its biggest theatrical debut ever, with F1 The Movie. The movie reportedly had a budget of $300 million, which puts it in the same territory as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But how big must the premiere box office be to count as a blockbuster in 2025? We did the math. Unlike these mega-franchises, F1 is trying to launch a new movie IP, and it’s doing so with a tech company behind the wheel. Or is it Apple who is trying to
