Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

2010. It sounds so futuristic, doesn’t it? And given the torrent of hi-tech tricks coming our way this year, it looks like we’ll be playing with the toys of tomorrow today (well, some time in the next 12 months at least...) Motioncontrol will finally be at our fingertips, whatever console we use.

Sony is launching its sensor- based controller in spring, while Microsoft aims to release Project Natal, its ambitious movement-based controller, in the second half oftheyear. 3Dgamingis set to boom,withSony planning athree-dimensional update for the PS3 in 2010, aswell as 3D televisions from Panasonic heading toawallmount near you. On the small scale, iPhone gamers will have the chance to play the firstmobile MMORPG with the launch of ‘Tibia Micro Edition’ in the next three months. Rumours abound that Microsoft will create a handheld console, while gossip about Apple’s as-yet-tobe- confirmed tablet grows. The future’s bright and it’s coming soon.
