Who doesn’t love a good mission out of town to the beach? One of the great perks of living in this wonderful country we call New Zealand is that almost no matter where you are, you’re only at most, a few hours, at best barely a stones throw away from the sea. Everyone can recite […]
If there’s one thing we’re spoiled for choice for in Aotearoa, it’s spots to stretch the legs and get outside for a good walk. And it’s not just the well-known and (rightfully) renowned mountainous areas of the country that provide in this way; opportunities for exploring on foot can be found just about everywhere. South […]
There might not be a celebrity in the entire world with a more unanimous approval rating than the great Tony Hawk. The effortlessly likable American skateboarding icon parlayed his incredible talent into a stunning run of success both in and out of competition at the turn of the century, becoming arguably, the most influential man to ever […]
When it comes to superyachts, concept designs are often so ridiculously grandiose that it takes something genuinely unique to grab our attention. Sure, fancy swimming pools and helipads are nice, but at the end of the day, it’s a concept; why not get a little creative with it? Clearly M51 designer Anthony Glasson and I […]
Ever watched those awesome surfers ripping up the waves at Piha and Muriwai with envy and wish you had the energy and the coordination to get up there yourself? While there’s no replacement for the feeling of paddling out into the ocean and riding a perfect wave on your own, the electric surfboard is beginning […]
“Remember when we you couldn’t stop hearing about GameStop?” Few stories in recent memory shook the world of trading like the epic GameStop stock story from 2021. What started as an elaborate example of online trolling turned into a legitimate short squeeze of epic proportions, creating a truly fascinating, captivating and revealing event, a genuine […]
When we think about luxury road vehicles, for most people, the first thing that comes to mind is these slick, streamlined supercars that are specifically built to be compact and whizz down the road at astonishing speeds. Yet when we think about luxury water vehicles, generally we’re talking about gargantuan superyachts, stuffed with spa pools […]
If you were trying to make a sports/high fashion collaboration from any two brands in the world, could you get much bigger than Adidas and Gucci? Arguably the two biggest names in their respective fields, the German sportswear powerhouse and the Italian high-end icon have combined forces for a special collection, which was revealed for […]
In amongst all of the hype and craziness surrounding crypto, NFT’s and all the other red-hot investment trends that have popped up in the past few years, an age-old form of trading has made a surprising and fascinating resurgence in recent times. Sports cards have been around for over a century and while there has always been […]
We live in a pretty amazing world, where no two humans are the same and we all have a unique range of job skills and interests that dictate how we choose to make a living. However, that unfortunately doesn’t always translate to all the gaps being filled in the workforce and at any given time, […]
Who doesn’t love it when an established brand branches out and does something a bit more daring? It’s always fascinating when a brand with a very strong association with one style and aesthetic drops a release that goes against their modus operandi. And it’s probably fair to say that few names in the world of […]
Rotorua is a fantastic experience regardless of where you are choosing to rest your head at night, but everyone knows a great accommodation choice can turn a good trip into a great one. We want to spotlight one of the most lauded yet somehow under-the-radar spots to temporarily call home; Treetops Lodge & Estate, a truly […]
EV’s. Safe to say they’re pretty hot right now. Despite some of the initial hesitancy from the general populace, it seems that the world has finally started to settle on the idea of electric vehicles becoming a commonplace fixture on our roads. How have we been won over exactly? I’d argue that it’s because EV […]
Take a look at any new collection from the top fashion houses nowadays and one thing becomes evident; the boundaries between high-end and street fashion are constantly blurred in the modern day. It seems more and more often, high-profile brand crossovers are popping up on our radar, with results ranging from truly awesome to questionably […]
It’s no secret that we here in New Zealand, a collective folk living on a trio of islands surrounded by two fantastic bodies of water on either side, love our boats. However, in a time where we are more aware than ever of the impact our vehicles, both on land, air and water, have on […]
Few places in the world look as beautiful when lit up as the seaside city of Sydney. So beautiful, in fact, that it has become an annual tradition to show off just how spectacular it is under the bright lights. The Harbour City, with the unmistakable Sydney Opera House as its crown jewel, is set […]
I’m not sure there’s a single person in my life that isn’t in desperate need of a luxury holiday after the 24 months we’ve all had to endure. For anyone with the cash who isn’t looking to jump back on a plane and head out overseas, there aren’t a lot of more appealing options out […]
Does anything create the illusion of ‘at-home’ luxury quite like the home bar? Sure, maybe we can’t afford the big fancy swimming pool out back or the massive home theater system, but who needs that stuff when we can pour ourselves a cocktail on a Wednesday night and drink it from a fancy crystal glass! […]
While Rotorua is chalked full of awesome activities for those looking to fill in time, sometimes, the best way to spend a day exploring the surroundings is on foot. Few locations in the nation offer more unique and exciting spots for a day walk than the geothermal paradise, with a whole host of tracks and […]
If there’s one thing we know about the Super Bowl (and honestly, just America in general), it’s that you can always expect to see proud displays of extravagance and excess. Mostly in the stands, by the hundreds, maybe thousands of A-listers (and their hangers on) in the crowd, but every now and then, the players […]
When it comes to the culinary arts, Otago is most synonymous with its vast collection of vineyards, which produce some of not just the nation’s, but the world’s most celebrated wines. But we all know that a great glass of wine is at its best when accompanied by an equally exceptional plate of food, and […]
Yes, fellas, it’s that time again. It’s very nearly Valentine’s Day and with Valentine’s Day comes the immense pressure of trying to come up with a somewhat original date idea to go along with the last-minute flowers and chocolate you bought on the way home from work. Fortunately, the wonderful town of Rotorua plays host […]
When we think of expensive designer yachts nowadays, often we operate under the assumption that bigger probably equals better. After all, at their core, superyachts are about extravagance and excess, and that often goes hand-in-hand with making your boat as big as possible, so that you can stuff it with about as many ridiculously features […]
You would’ve thought that with all of the incredible watchmakers out there pumping out new designs seemingly every five minutes, it would be hard to come up with something genuinely conceptually unique, something that we’ve really never seen before. Swiss-watchmakers Urwerk must have decided to take that as a personal challenge, as one of […]
Unlike most of the grizzled, raw-to-the-knuckle action heroes that he has become renowned for playing for the better part half of century, Sylvester Stallone has been living pretty good. Since 1994, the Rocky, Rambo and Expendables star has made his home in a truly stunning Beverly Park mansion, one that after almost three decades, he […]
Look, we all know taste is subjective, but at the end of the day, there’s something to be said for a consensus pick. Otherwise, why would we have awards in the first place? Heck, why on Earth did the Greek invent democracy if not to say we trust the verdict of the majority?! OK sure, […]
What are the coolest modes of transportation in the world (and no one say the Millenium Falcon, I’m talking about things that actually exist)? A jetski? Pretty damn cool, nothing is quite like the spray of ocean water coating you as cruise on those waves. How about a motorbike? Zooming along the open roads with […]
Lunar New Year is a funny old thing. Most of us recognise the name (which you might know as Chinese New Year) and remember when it pops up every February, yet I wonder how much New Zealanders actually know anything more about what goes on, other than the colourful lanterns that light up Albert Park […]
So, it appears the Omicron variant has finally arrived on our shores and that means one thing; it’s time to panic and sensibly hoard every last toilet roll in sight like we did when this all kicked off back in March 2020. Hah, I’m kidding (no really, please don’t do that again), but the emergence […]
2021 was a year of many viral sensations which had us all talking, but when it came to streaming, there was one phenomenon which dominated the mainstream conversation like no other; Squid Game. Yes, you simply couldn’t look anywhere without seeing, reading or hearing about the Korean Netflix series that didn’t have a single recognisable […]
Few recent historical figures name carries more weight in the modern day than Muhammad Ali. The late great boxer and civil rights activist is one of the most iconic and influential athletes of our time, and his name is synonymous with greatness both in the sports world and out of it. It’s understandable, then, why a […]
Say what you want about Taika Waititi; the man doesn’t like to sit on his laurels. Fresh off another fine year in 2021, the eclectic Kiwi creative is coming to us with another exciting new project to kick off 2022. In an era of film and television that boasts two warring factions; the franchise lovers […]
Cocktails are great. Paying $20 at a bar for a cocktail is not. Spending $60 buying a bunch of juices and mixers to make cocktails for one night at home and then having those random juices and mixers needlessly taking up shelf room for the next 6 months? Also, not great. Such is the conundrum for cocktail lovers […]
Everyone of a certain age remembers their first walkie-talkie set. For me, it was a big clunky set of blue and yellow gadgets, highly impractical to say the least, but there was nothing cooler than walking around with a walkie-talkie like you were an international agent in a spy movie. But handheld transceivers have always […]
Why is it that over and over, the entire world seems to become obsessed with one game at the exact same time, play the heck out of it for a month and then collectively drop it simultaneously? You could argue the general ideas of copycatting and FOMO when it comes to consumer products have been […]
While still far from a mainstream concept, the subject of the ‘four-day week work’ has become one of the more intriguing ongoing debate in modern society. In the past, we’ve covered the results that the Nordic nation of Iceland saw as they began to transition their work structure towards a four-day system, most of which […]
While our personal tech gadgets are designed sleeker and aesthetically pleasing with each new model, everyone knows it’s the bits on the inside that truly count, even if we don’t get to appreciate them with our eyes. Well, with their unique artistic vision, the folks over at the Shenzen-based Grid Studio have found a way […]
It’s no secret that one of the industries most impacted by the events of the last two years has been the airline industry. Not many people have been rushing to get on a plane recently, especially when the consistent emergence of new COVID strains has seen restrictions in just about every country in constant flux, […]
We’re almost at the end of this often weird, occasionally wonderful year which means it’s time to put on the rose-tinted glasses, adopt a glass-half-full mindset and look back at the year that was 2021. While it’s difficult to look past the tough times that this year in particular threw our way, we’re using this time to weed […]
Last week, we gave you part one of our “best inventions for 2021”, which highlighted some of our favourite innovative products to come out of the last 12 or so months. However, we’ve decided that confining our favourites to just one list of five wasn’t enough, so we’re shining the spotlight on four more inventions that are worthy of being regarded as part […]
Maybe it’s just because we’ve finally gotten tired of talking about all of the ills we’re dealing with in the real world, but the ‘metaverse’ has been dominating the headlines in the past 12 months. Companies from all over the world in a myriad of different industries are exploring the opportunities in virtual reality tech, […]
Queenstown remains one of the country’s most beloved domestic holiday spots and is great to visit any time of year. If you’re making the journey down to the southern paradise in the near future, here’s five terrific ways to fill in the days. HIKING Many will know that Queenstown is renowned for its sensational […]
Many lament the annual adjustment that we are asked to make when the climate commits to its seasonal change. As we are forced to bid a rueful farewell to the sparkling sunny mornings and long, warm nights of summer and accept the teeth-chattering chill of winter, those with a more optimistic outlook gleefully anticipate the natural wonders that the brisk season can provide. One of the many unique winter phenomenon’s hailed in […]
While many outsiders might not be aware, few areas in Aotearoa are as rich in stargazing opportunities as Queenstown. Queenstown sits right on the cutoff point of the famed Aurora Australis (commonly known as the Southern Lights), so on the right day, you can catch one of the world’s most spectacular natural displays from one […]
Running a business is no picnic and as we’ve learnt in the past two years, the world can throw some crazy obstacles your way that can be incredibly challenging to navigate. One of the few positives for small business owners to take away from this period is that there are thousands of others in the […]
If you’re a regular follower of M2, you’ll know that we love a good superyacht. The sheer scale of design and engineering that goes into these magnificent boats is truly special, and even the ones that never make past the conceptual stage are fun to fantisise about. I mean, at least in theory, those concepts are designed with the hope of […]
Regardless of what you think of legendary Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone, everyone knows that the man is at the very least a highly expressive performer. We learnt last week that the actors’ creative talent extends beyond the art of film, as the former Academy Award winner unveiled a brand new project; an art exhibition. The Sylvester […]
Has any film series in the last decade been more overlooked than the Kingsman series? It feels a little odd to infantilise an entity that has drawn budgets and box-office results in the hundreds of millions, but in a pop-cultural era absolutely dominated by mainstream tentpoles Marvel and Star Wars, it’s quite reassuring that a […]
Summer’s here and with life steadily returning to normal with the loosening of gathering restrictions for the moment, there’s scarcely a person in the country who hasn’t gotten a backlogged summer wedding invitation swiftly approaching. When we think about wedding fashion, we tend to think all of the attention will be on the happy couple. […]
If anything has been proven in the last few years, it’s that we’ve put to bed the tired adage that style and sustainability can’t go hand-in-hand. With brands local and abroad releasing high-quality clothes using recycled or vegan products, the market is now flooded with options for those looking to shop with more of a […]
2021 was a big year back at the movies, with a boatload of delayed releases finally hitting our screens. As always, a collection of new movies and TV shows means more of our favourite actors crushing some absolutely sick on-screen looks. Here are four from 2021 that we simply have to tip our hats to. […]
While we are lucky to live in a nation that has some fantastic road tripping routes within our borders, the reality is that it’s a big wide world out there, with a heck of a lot worth exploring beyond our shores. Sure, some like to spend their holidays lounging on quaint beaches and sipping on […]
Now, we often hear the phrase ‘art is subjective’. And it’s true, what is pure genius to one person might be a complete eyesore to the person next to them. The phrase is never more relevant when it comes to art that is really working outside of the parameters of tradition, made by artists who […]
Headlines surrounding the space industry in last few years have indicated a resoundingly positive outlook for the future of the industry. Between all the attention for notching landmark achievements in representation and all of the touting of the immense advancements in technology, it would be easy to think that the industry was one without any major issue, at least not from an internal point-of-view. However, ever […]
The app that, arguably above all others, has transformed the way we consume and interact with the news is falling into a new set of hands for the first time since its inception. The man often referred simply by his Twitter handle, @jack (full name; Jack Dorsey), announced that he would be leaving his post […]
After what has been a colossally complicated 18 months for the film industry, one entity has proven above all others its ability to withstand just about every obstacle thrown its way and still come smelling like roses. While compared to its most lucrative years 2021 stands poised to be one of its weaker periods in recent memory, it can’t be denied that, relative to the circumstances, Marvel Studios have […]
While the aerospace industry has ticked off first after first after first in the last few years, commercial air travel has become such an incredibly common form of transportation in the modern day, one might believe that we’re all out of ‘firsts’ to conquer in the industry. Those with that expectation will be surprised to hear, that a unique aviation achievement has been marked for the […]
To the majority of outsiders, the beautiful southern city of Queenstown is synonymous with thrilling, blood-pumping adventure filled activities. From the bungee jumps, jet boats, canyon swings and a whole lot more, there’s a reason this town has earned the label of ‘Adventure Capital of the World’. However, don’t let this moniker fool you into […]
As the much discussed Facebook-to-Meta transition rolls on, kernels of information continue to be revealed giving us a clearer picture of how the platform is going to look when it’s all said and done. While we know that Meta and its figurehead Mark Zuckerberg have their feet squarely planted in the realm of virtual and augmented reality, it remains to be seen how the company plans […]
Look, even if you’ve never been to Wellington in your entire life, at the very least you’ll likely associate the city with one or both of its two defining natural features; the wind and/or the hills. Yes, the country’s capital has so many other great things going for it, but in order to enjoy the city’s many pleasures the locals must learn to endure that darn wind and those hellish […]
When you wander into an ‘op shop’ or stroll through a flea market while out on a Sunday walk, chances are you’re probably not expecting to make a life-changing discovery. You might come across a few great finds; maybe a cool retro jacket or an interesting old piece of furniture worth taking home, but your expectation isn’t to come across something worth five, […]
When it comes to riling up people on the internet nowadays, Elon Musk clearly reigns supreme as the world’s most polarising poster. The Tesla CEO and intermittent world’s richest man has taken over the mantle from the banished former President Trump and the calmed entertainer Kanye West as Twitter’s most conspicuous user. While much of Musk’s Twitter output is either sharply satirical or just downright silly, when he […]
One of the trickiest areas for parents nowadays is deciding when it’s the right time to put one of those mind-controlling devices we call a cell phone into their kid’s hands. Is 10 years old too young? Probably, but chances are their ‘cool’ friend has one already and if everyone else is doing it, what’s the worst that could happen, right? But if that wasn’t enough, the conundrum seems as though it […]
The last few years, both at home and abroad, have been rife with democratic controversies that have had the world up in arms. After all, I think we’re all still recovering from the tireless, headache-inducing news cycle from the US Presidential election last year. However, all others pale in comparison to the stunning reverberations that went […]
2021 has been a complicated year for a lot of sectors, but one industry that has undeniably seen massive progress is the aerospace industry. I’m not sure exactly how many groundbreaking launch stories we’ve covered here over the past 12 months, but it seems every week we get a new piece of news regarding another major success or development in the aerospace world. This week […]
As you’ve probably noticed if you’re a regular follower, here at M2 we simply can’t resist a random brand crossover, from the predictably cool (such as Ray Bans collaboration with Facebook on smart glasses) to the wonderfully weird (TAG Heuer’s bizarre Super Mario watch link up). It’s fitting that, in the era dominated by Marvel […]
Motor-racing is a fascinating industry, as it is not only a ground for incredible feat of sporting achievements, but a ground ripe for awesome feats of innovation in engineering. One only needs to pay notice to the ways Formula One cars have evolved over the years to understand the seemingly limitless possibilities that the motor-racing industry offers forward-thinking engineers. Of course, to this point, one […]
For as long as we have been conscious of the effects of petrol emissions have on our environment, gas guzzling pick up trucks have been squarely in the cross hairs of environmentalists looking to see changes implemented. As a result, EV manufacturers have been doing their part to change the narrative and make sure the beloved model survives the ongoing transition from gas […]
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about modern tech companies in the last few years, it’s that they aren’t satisfied doing just one thing. The neverending carousel of major players copycatting each other in a desperate effort to seize control over our dollars and attention spans keeps on spinning and shooting out products that look suspiciously like ones we’ve seen before or are already using. It’s not […]
Congratulations, you’ve made it to November! While we’ll admit it’s been a pretty tough road to get here and the circumstances are less than ideal this year, November is still our favourite month of the year, because it marks the release of our annual M2 Man of the Year issue. The MOTY issue allows us to highlight one exceptional Kiwi man who has gone above and beyond in 2021, […]
We’re almost ready to put another year in the books which means it’s time for our favourite recurring M2 tradition; adding another name to the annuls of history with our M2 Man of the Year 2021. For those uninitiated, our Man of the Year issue highlights one Kiwi man who has flown higher in their field than any other over the calendar year. The Man of the Year search does not […]
Keeping up with phone trends can at times feel like an impossible task. Few industries move on faster than the smartphone industry, with the constant evolutions in hardware and software features proving tricky for the casual consumer to track. The latest emerging trend is one that might look familiar to a lot of readers, as it is not dissimilar to an iconic bygone trend which […]
This century has thus far been an incredible time for innovation and has produced some of the most groundbreaking solutions to human problems the world has ever seen. But there’s one problem that for decades has haunted humans all over the world and has befuddled even the world’s greatest minds. That is, of course, the question of how the heck am I supposed to drink this delicious, chilled glass of orange […]
While it isn’t from lack of trying, the long anticipated ‘hoverbike’ has yet to find a mainstream foothold in our transport landscape, even among the society’s elite who could probably afford to maintain one. It appears that the logistics behind bringing the science fiction staple into reality might be a bit more complicated than the movies might’ve had you believe. We’ve seen a few examples here […]
Summer is fast approaching and with it (hopefully) the loosening of restrictions and the return of backyard hangouts with friends, family, neighbours and honestly, just about anyone who will hang out with us as we’ve been deprived of human contact for some damn long. At the same time, while movie theaters around the country are back in business and Auckland cinemas will likely […]
Sneakers can be an expensive obsession. Every true sneakerhead knows that you’ve got to fork out some serious cash to get the real prized pairs, especially ones that are limited edition or game-worn. Your average buyer might spend a few hundred bucks on a really nice pair, but hardcore collectors will happily go into the thousands and at the very, […]
If there’s one thing we, the public, fall for over and over again, it’s a good celebrity comeback. For whatever reason, we seem to be obsessed with the idea of metaphorically resurrecting stars of the past who have fallen out of the limelight due to misbehaviour, personal demons or poor performances (or in most cases, […]
If you’re even remotely active online, you’ve no doubt at some point come across the “Simpsons Prediction” theory. Seemingly time and time again, the iconic animated series The Simpsons has depicted events in its episode which miraculously become reality years later. From the Siegfried and Roy tiger attack to the 2014 American Ebola outbreak to smartwatches to the Presidency of Donald Trump (in an episode aired all […]
For years, we watched him boldly go where no man had gone before and scour the galaxy in search of adventure in that iconic lime green v-neck. Of course, despite what our child selves might have believed, that vast galaxy was actual just a Hollywood studio; no one in the ‘crew’ of the USS Enterprise never really explored the depths of space. Until, that is, this morning, […]
At one point, self-driving cars seemed destined to become the future of driving. After all, it feels like an obvious and important step in worldwide transition towards automation in just about every possible industry, particularly given how many lives are lost behind the wheel around the world due to human error. However, the transition has proved far more complex than what might have once seemed like a straightforward switch and recent developments from Tesla might be an indication of how […]
Despite the perception being that they have an absolute strangehold on the world of entertainment right now, streaming giant Netflix has long operated behind a thick curtain when it comes to flexing their streaming figures. Whatever the reason for this may be (whether it’s to avoid giving away information to competitors, to protect themselves from […]
The lifecycle of the viral star is an often confusing phenomenon. The incredibly vast reach of social media has created the opportunity for just about anyone to go from just another guy or girl on the street to a household name in a matter of days, sometimes even over the course of 24 hours. While the dizzying heights of viral fame […]
It’s somehow already September, which means that Prostate Cancer Awareness month is once again upon us; the campaign which reminds Kiwi men to make the trip to the doctors that they’ve been putting off and get the check that could save their life. However, it’s unfortunately not ‘business as usual’ for this year’s Blue September fundraiser as an ill-timed lockdown has stifled much […]
Everyone likes to think that, when it comes to their business, they know best. However, there are endless example to prove there’s something to be said for an outside set of eyes and the unique perspective of someone without an intense investment (both literally and figuratively) in the business and how it is being run. In the same way we go to doctors and […]
Running a business is no picnic and riding the ups and downs can be a tumultuous experience for those in the big seat. One of the biggest challenges for a business and its leadership is managing significant change, as it is these uncertain periods that can make or break a business going forward. This is why consulting services can be so influential during these […]
While our health system in New Zealand is far from perfect, it’s easy for many of us to take for granted how relatively easy and affordable it is to access medical care when compared to much of the world. Not only do so many countries lack the equipment and resources to perform essential surgeries and […]
While the stock game was once a place only for rich, powerful Wall Street types in expensive suits to flex their financial muscle, the massive developments in digital technology has resulted in a significant increase in access, dramatically opening the door for the masses to make their mark. Here in Australiasia, the door has been opened to markets all over the world, including the massive opportunities on the US market. Pushing more Aussie’s and Kiwi’s into the game […]
While everyone has there own set of day-to-day worries and anxieties in their lives, there might be few more scary than having to worry about whether the lights are going to be on when you get home. The sad truth is that this is a genuine concern for so many New Zealanders, who fall victim […]
While it might not be one of the first topics that pops up in a discussion of Aotearoa’s most urgent issues, our national food systems have become more a part of the national conversation in recent years. With thousands of families nationwide struggling to put food on the table and thousands of others contributing to […]
While there are undoubtedly a myriad of factors that are at play when a young man takes the ‘wrong path’, one of the most common and impactful for so many is a lack of mentorship. As troubling statistics have long suggested a correlation between male youth offending and lack of presence of a father, the […]
Few figures have spent as much time on New Zealand airwaves than Jason Gunn. The Cantabrian entertainer has been staple of the domestic entertainment scene for the better part of three decades, excelling in a myriad of television and radio roles. Now, four years on from battling a serious health scare, he’s found a renewed energy and a purpose beyond keeping us on the couch entertained. Gunn’s impressive […]
The return of Level 4 lockdown hasn’t been a welcome one for just about anyone. However, our job is to make it just that bit more bearable for you, the reader, and we have a brand new issue arriving just in time to save you from the tedium of the endless COVID newscycle and mindless Netflix scrolling. Here’s just […]
It seems like every week, we are confronted with the sad reality that our once seemingly unstoppable heroes in sports and entertainment are unfortunately not going to be around forever. Old school rock ‘n rock fans received a cruel reminder of that this morning as the world lost a true legend of the music industry […]
While music fans have been clamouring for an elusive third album from iconic singer-rapper Frank Ocean, the 33-year-old has been busy working on a collection of a different kind and he’s ready to share it with the world. The Homer collection will be the American’s first foray into the world of jewellery and just like his musical career, the range shows the Ocean isn’t afraid […]
Not to generalise here, but as blokes, we tend to sometimes take pride in a sort of ‘lackadaisical’ approach to our bodies, particularly as we get older. While the ladies in our lives stock up on their various supplements to ensure they stay youthful for as long as possible, we tend to ignore the signals […]
Anyone who’s watched the Terminator series feels a little shudder go through them every time they see a robotics company showing off their latest humanoid creation. Massachusetts-based robotics and engineering company Boston Dynamics have released footage of its advanced bipedal model in action, performing an absolutely seamless obstacle course parkour run and its equally parts […]
With all that’s been going on here down on Earth in the past few weeks, you’d be forgiven for forgetting about the fact that we currently have a machine roaming Mars searching for signs of extraterrestrial life (like we need another problem to deal with right now!). NASA’s Perseverance rover has been trekking around our planetary neighbour for almost exactly six months […]
As the months and years continue to tick over and the endless list of bleak headlines regarding the climate crisis only grows longer, the push to reduce national emissions becomes an increasingly pressing challenge for New Zealand.
