It Was A Good Run Jabra 5:01

7h ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Jabra's parent company has announced that they are getting our of the consumer earbuds and headset business. While their reasons certainly make sense, I have to admit I'll miss one of the more reliable product lines I've ever used.By Joe Esposito

5:01

Today on the 5: Apple kicked off the annual WWDC event with a keynote unveiling Apple Intelligence. This AI integration effort was seen by many as a competitive necessity, so it wasn't much of a bombshell. What did surprise me was how little Apple seemed to care about it.By Joe Esposito

2h ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: The most recent Monsterverse film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire recently hit digital release, but I somehow missed it up until this weekend. I jumped on it as soon as I realized I could, and it ended up being exactly what I wanted out of an American Godzilla movie.By Joe Esposito

11h ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: You may have seen some news items about a possible mass exodus by creatives from Instagram to the relatively new Cara platform. Whether that number is real or not, I'm not sure these kind of moves actually accomplish anything in the end.By Joe Esposito

Digital Ad-vatars 5:01

23h ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Only a day after I talked about Zoom's plan for virtual meeting attendees, Vox posted an article talking about an artist named FKA Twigs working on her own deepfake avatar. Those two things got me thinking about what type of world it will be when everyone just uses artifical versions of themselves for every interaction.…

5:01

1200Today on the 5: Spotify CEO Daniel Ek recently made some statements that angered a lot of musicians. While nothing that was sauid really surprises me coming fronm a company that is not exactly beloved by the creative community, it does highlight another aspect of creativity that is misunderstood.…

Adumbral Twin 5:01

3d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: The CEO of Zoom thinks in the next few years we'll all be able to skip meetings by sending a "personal LLM" to attend for us. While I'm certainly pleased a major CEO is tacitly acknowledging how pointless most meetings are, I'm not sure he's thought this concept all the way through.By Joe Esposito

Oblivion 2 Backlash Retro Review 5:01

4d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: I came across a movie that looked like something from a slice of time that no longer exists. The video is called Oblivion 2 Backlash, and it's an adorably fun example of what you'd see in the early morning hours during the early days of the Sci-Fi channel.By Joe Esposito

I Miss The Whimsical Apple 5:01

8d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Between terrible internally created ads and wonderful externally crafted creations, I've had a real desire to see the old Apple come back in some way. Remember when their products had color and took chances? They've got the hardware design pretty much locked in, so why not start letting loose in the design department?…

Windows Recall Is Fine 5:01

9d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Microsoft recently held a Surface and Windows event where they made a bunch of hardware and software accnoiuncments. One of the most highly discussed news items from that event is Recall, a sort of system wide overseer that constantly captures virtually everything you do on your computer. A lot of people are losing their minds over …

Love Lies Bleeding Spoiler Free Review 5:01

16d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: I've been waiting for Love Lies Bleeding to hit VOD and it finally did, so I watched it over the weekend. I had seen comparisons of the film to Bound, which makes a lot of sense but shouldn't be read as meaning it's anything other than a unique and fantastic film.By Joe Esposito

Alexa 2.0 5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Amazon is reportedly getting set to unveil an upgraded version of the Alexa voice assistant. Just like everything else on the planet, this new version will be augmented by AI. Most interestingly, Amazon is apparently planning to charge for it, and the price being bounced around is $20 a month. That feels...ambitious.…

Sony INZONE Buds Impressions 5:01

22d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: After seeing a lot of good reviews for the Sony INZONE Buds, I kept an eye out for a good deal on them and when one came up I grabbed them. So far, a lot of my time with the INZONE Buds has been great, but in one area they are a big step down from my Arctis headset.By Joe Esposito

The Real AI Problem 5:01

23d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: News and discussion about AI is basically inescapable right now, and it often ends being awed anticipation or fiery fearmongering. No matter which side of the fence you end up on in regards to the technology itself, the real areas of concern are the humans in control of it.By Joe Esposito

Nomads Retro Review 5:01

24d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Listening to the John McTiernan series that the podcast Blank Check recently did reminded me that I had never seen the 1986 film Nomads. Luckily, it's easy to see for free pretty much anywhere so I made it a priority to watch it. It definitely has some flaws, but I really liked it.By Joe Esposito

Mars Express Spoiler Free Review 5:01

25d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Mars Express has been on my radar for a while now, and I finally got a chance to see it. While I wouldn't draw the same comparisons a lot of reviews have, I would absolutely agree that it is a stellar piece of French cyberpunk.By Joe Esposito

The Beetlejuice Cartoon 5:01

29d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Thanks to Andy Last over at Beyond Synth, I was reminded that a cartoon had been made based on the movie Beetlejuice. I picked up the complete run on DVD and have been watching it. It is way wilder than I could have expected!By Joe Esposito

Ditch The Cute Already 5:01

30d ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: In the last few days both OpenAI and Google have made major announcements about their generative models. They both spent a lot of time demonstrating uses of their products that are clearly aimed at projecting more "human" aspects. I think this is a mistake for a couple of reasons.By Joe Esposito

The World's Greatest Sinner Retro Review 5:01

1M ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Thanks to the wonderful Criterion Channel, I got to watch a movie I never thought I'd see. It's titled The World's Greatest Sinner, and it's a bizarre and (I think) hearftelt expression of a man's struggle with his faith in God.By Joe Esposito

Don't Get Angry, It's Just Bad Marketing 5:01

1M ago5:01

5:01

Today on the 5: Shortly after Apple's iPad Pro even last week, I started to see articles and posts about how people were upset over one of the videos they played. I watched the video, and it's nothing to get upset over. It's just another example of how Apple has lost their marketing mojo.By Joe Esposito
