Editor’s note: Narendra Modi is generally known for his debating skills and oratory talents with which he has won several elections in his long political career. However, ever so often, the prime minister also shares his poetry on social media. He is, in fact, a published poet, and his book of poetry A Journey: Poems by Narendra Modi which was published in 2014 deals with all the same themes that we also find in his political campaigns — like that of Hinduism, and nationalism. Moving beyond that, the book also presents a…

During the last few years here on ZDNet, I've written about how I spend a lot of time working on my iPad Pro. It's my ideal work machine for writing, triaging my inbox, and bouncing between Slack or Discord. But even though the iPad has been a staple in my workflow over the last 10 years, I'm starting to grow tired of using overpowered hardware with software that's yet to live up to its potential. I'm hoping next month's iPadOS 16…

I’m going to attempt the impossible and use his name only once in this piece, but as you may have heard, Elon Musk is in the process of buying Twitter. Musk is (fuck, sorry), among other things, not a very good person, and I don’t look forward to his reign at the website where I spend a significant amount of time any more than you do. But first I need the people who make up Twitter’s loudest contingent to admit something: that they do not hate Twitter, it is not a “hell site” or a “garbage fire,” and that, in fact,…

Stranger Things 4 is the biggest name on TV in May 2022, with Netflix's global supernatural horror hit returning after three whole years. The show and its world have gotten bigger in the meantime — episodes will be longer than ever, and the fourth season won't be confined to Hawkins unlike past instalments. Stranger Things 4 is out May 27 on Netflix (though not wholly, as you can read below). Some audiences, especially those who love being in a galaxy far, far away, might disagree with my opening statement. After all,…

The Miku Max electric motorbike has been a controversial design ever since we first began covering it in 2018. Now the Miku Super has improved the bike’s performance as it expands into the European market. Produced by Chinese electric scooter giant Sunra, the Miku Super is a unique design that falls somewhere between electric mopeds and electric motorcycles. Riding on 12″ scooter wheels, it’s something of an electric minibike that offers better than expected urban performance. A top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) is…

Part of the Future of Work issue of The Highlight, our home for ambitious stories that explain our world. Laurel Coates had been working for two years at a grocery store in Oakland, California, when the pandemic began. She took voluntary medical leave out of concern for vulnerable relatives and received unemployment insurance payments. She was in good financial shape, but she eventually found that she missed the work. “I need the social…

Forza Horizon 5 opts for that old adage: if it's not broken, don't fix it. England-based game developer Playground Games, which has made every entry of the ever-improving Forza Horizon racing franchise since its inception more than nine years ago, doesn't mess with the formula that it delivered upon and honed over time on its predecessor. Forza Horizon 5 is a lot like Forza Horizon 4, which is not a bad thing. The series' fifth chapter — available November 5 to premium customers, and November 9 for everyone else — is an…

The penultimate season of Stranger Things has been split into two parts: the five-episode Volume 1 drops May 27, with the four-episode Volume 2 due July 2. The biggest Netflix original from India this month is Thar, a Western-inspired crime thriller set in ‘80s Rajasthan.

Over the weekend, our friends at Android Central surprised the wearables industry by publishing a series of photos of the long-rumored Pixel Watch in the wild. Of course, we’ve seen renders and heard rumors about this watch, but to see it in the flesh (so to speak) is another matter entirely. According to the news story, the item was found in a restaurant, and if you’ve been paying attention to the tech space for a while, that might evoke memories of Gizmodo finding an unreleased iPhone 4 in a bar years ago. One of…
