Razer’s CES moonshot is a surround sound-enabled cushion for your gaming chair
Editor's take: It wouldn't be CES week without a wild concept from Razer. The company has once again delivered with Project Carol, but this year's outside-the-box offering is far tamer than what we've seen in years past. Perhaps that means it'll actually become a real product? Project Carol is a gaming chair accessory – a

The Forgotten 1993 Concept Car You’d Never Guess Was A Ferrari
Something about this car strikes the eye wrong. It's not that it doesn't have a roof; many vehicles don't have tops. Perhaps the starkly contrasting black front fenders with cutouts that look like weird little eyes. Maybe it's the lack of a proper windshield, just the hint of a screen harkening back to racers from
This New Drone Device Uses WiFi To See Through Walls

The Next Mac Pro May Lose A Major User-Upgradeable Feature
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images The next Mac Pro, lined up for a 2023 release, is shaping up to be a rather unexciting machine, at least based on the latest leaks. Bloomberg reports that the model will feature the same "cheesegrater" chassis as its predecessor, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the innards will be disappointing for

The 2007 Dodge Demon Concept Was The American Miata That Never Was

There's quite a bit of distance between comparatively accessible muscle cars like Mustangs and Camaros and almighty supercars like the Dodge Viper or Ford GT.
