Hands-on with the foldable iPhone DuoSpoiler: it folds.Not sure that’ll stop Zack, but good luck
This isn’t a bad idea, and all for the good. But I still kind of hope Zack still wins to stir it up at Westminster.

I haven’t been particularly convinced by folding phones so far, but Apple’s first attempt might do it. An iPhone that opens into something approaching an iPad mini feels less like a gimmick and more like a genuinely useful new kind of thing.
And look how it opens and closes!
It’s £1,999, mind.

This is a great piece on the final chapter of what must be one of the most remarkable TV projects of all time.

Big fan of the Wham! and of George, and this documentary is utterly fascinating. It reveals a lot about George and Andrew, about what life in China was like in 1985, and the impact the Wham! shows had on those that were there.
It’s on BBC iPlayer now.

In just over twelve months, they’d had two number one singles and a million-selling number two single (‘Last Christmas’) which was held off the coveted Christmas top spot by another million-seller (Band Aid) that George Michael was on anyway.

I’ve not been in a nightclub for years, but these photos from 20 years of Manchester’s Warehouse Project took me straight back there — the lights, the sweat, the faces appearing out of the dark, that strange feeling of it being three in the morning and nowhere else existing.
It’s easy to photograph a DJ. Much harder to photograph what a night actually felt like.
These do.

Having a plan is one thing. Actually carrying it out quite another. But I’m liking what he is saying so far.

Things cannot continue as they are – resources are not finite and we cannot allow large parts of the planet to become uninhabitable. It’s simple really. We need to do something about it and this sounds like a plan. A good plan.

It’s incredible to me how direct and obvious these personal attacks on Zack Polanski have become the closer we get to the local elections in the UK. Even The Guardian. He must be getting somewhere.

Nothing shocking about that red card
There was absolutely nothing shocking at all about this decision. If you pull someone’s hair on the football pitch you’re asking for it.
What is shocking is that a grown man, a highly-paid footballer at that, should try to pull another player’s hair during a high-profile Premier League game with loads of cameras pointed at him.
Having said that, it was Calvert-Lewin, and it was Leeds, so The Butcher is already forgiven.

Christ! The average age of a gamer is 41 – I’m well past it.
I totally agree with everything said here – video games are for anyone and everyone. My old man was a regular on his DS (brain training, obvs) right up to when he died at 81.
I also think there are already games being made that the veterans can enjoy as much as anyone else… Blue Prince and Despelote are two recent favourites of mine. I can’t play Marathon, alas… there is no Switch version.

New Huawei Foldable Looks a Lot Like Apple's Rumored iPhone FoldApple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a book-style form factor that's relatively uncommon in the foldables market, but Huawei's new Pura X Max appears to share a similar wide aspect ratio. Set to be released in China next week, Huawei's new device actually builds upon a design used by the original, smaller Pura X, which was marketed last year as an extra-wide flip phone.
