How to Share Songs on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and Google Play Music
April 12, 2018 07:12 - 9 minutesWhen the music-focused social network Cymbal launched in 2016, the service promised to be a hub for music junkies to share their favorite artists and flaunt their great taste. Once you logged in, you'd see a stream of songs titles shared by whoever you were following, often accompanied by some sort of commentary or mini review. The goal was to create a feed that acted as a playlist, with everything curated by all the people who matter to you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastcho...
The Best Nintendo Switch Deals and Console Bundles (2018)
April 11, 2018 16:31 - 6 minutesWe're incredibly optimistic about the Switch's future and believe it sets a new standard for game systems. But since it's so new, there aren't a ton of killer deals yet. But at $300, it's still roughly as cheap as a PS4 or Xbox One, and a lot more portable. If you don't own one yet, we've got your back. Below are all the current Nintendo Switch deals and bundles we could find. We've also added some games you should consider and essential accessories you'll need. Learn more about your ad choic...
Trew Gear LTD Powfish Jacket Review: Slope and Street Smart
April 11, 2018 07:11 - 6 minutesIt may be a little late in the season to shop for snow gear, but try telling that to all the revelers playing in the late spring powder on Oregon’s Mount Hood. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re still enjoying plenty of fresh snow, enough for me to pack a few sandwiches and take out Trew Gear’s new LTD Powfish jacket for a spin. At WIRED, we love Trew Gear. Their lightweight and stylish ski apparel works on both sunny days and in the wettest weather. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit ...
'Solo: A Star Wars Story' and the False Hope of Really Great Trailers
April 10, 2018 16:31 - 5 minutesGood day, rogues; a new Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer dropped last night. It looks really incredible. Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian drips swagger. Emilia Clarke is in High Society Khaleesi mode, minus the dragon white hair. There’s even a few seconds of Thandie Newton for folks who can’t wait for Westworld to come back. Chewie is 190 years old and he looks great! It’s easy to have a really good feeling about this. But that’s what trailers are supposed to do. Learn more about your ad choi...
4 Best Smartphones of 2018: Guide to Android, Samsung Galaxy, iPhone
April 10, 2018 08:50 - 9 minutesIt's a great year to buy a smartphone. These days, even mid-range phones are at least OK, so it’s hard to go horribly awry if you’re browsing devices at your local retailer. Especially if you're looking at devices over $500, you're almost guaranteed to find passable cameras, fast processors, and gorgeous screens. Many phones are trying so hard to imitate the biggest and best smartphones, (Samsung Galaxy devices and iPhones are still the trend setters) that they tend to blur together. Learn mo...
8 Great Weekend Tech Deals: Nintendo, Apple, Tile, Eufy, Vive Pro
April 09, 2018 16:31 - 4 minutesIf we keep talking about it, that’s because we’re excited: This week, the HTC Vive Pro headset is out! For a cool $800, you too can roam around an enormous VR display that is a mindboggling 10 x 10 meters wide, enjoying your integrated headphones, clearer display, and sweet, sweet wireless-ness. However, we’d be remiss not to mention that you will also need to shell out a couple hundred bucks for a few base stations and controllers. Learn more about your ad choices.

PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset Review (2018): Finally Golden
April 09, 2018 07:11 - 7 minutesHave you ever tried using Sony’s pitiful little mono headset that comes with every PlayStation 4? It’s a chintzy freebie at best, and a no-good, annoying, keeps-coming-unclipped-from-your-collar, hanging hellion the rest of the time. Sony’s 2014 Gold Wireless Headset also angered gamers due to a fragile, crack-prone headband. With this track record, you'd be forgiven for ignoring Sony’s new 2018 Gold Wireless Headset.

How To Build a PC
April 06, 2018 16:31 - 21 minutesBack in the days of dial-up internet, it was commonplace to build your own computer. Instead of walking into a Best Buy or logging onto Dell's website to shop for a complete unit, you'd assemble a desktop PC yourself using standardized, commodity parts purchased either online or at a store specializing in computer components. These days, most consumers have only ever bought pre-fab systems, no assembly required. However, many gamers and computer hobbyists still prefer to roll their own boxes....
Spectra S9 Plus: A Breast Pump You Can Fit In Your Pocket
April 06, 2018 07:11 - 6 minutesWhen I entered the restroom at the ski lodge, a sulky snowboarder teenager was already occupying its one bench. She sprawled across it, texting furiously, and looked up when I stood in front of her. "Excuse me," I said. "I need to sit here." "Why?" she said, confused. To all appearances, I was just another snowboarder, carrying a zip pouch the size of a sandwich bag. "I need to pump breast milk and I don’t want to put all my stuff on this trash can," I said. "We can share, if you want. Learn ...
Vizio SmartCast Soundbar and Surround Speaker Review: Instant Surround Sound
April 05, 2018 16:31 - 10 minutesIt seems like a sick joke, at first. You just spent hundreds, possibly a thousand bucks on that brand-new 4K TV in your living room, and your home theater-nerd friends are already telling you that you need to spend a more on a soundbar and subwoofer? Need is a strong word, but your friends are right—you really should buy a soundbar. Your TV has tiny, tinny speakers and you’ll notice the difference immediately. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cheap PS4 and PS4 Pro Bundles and Deals (2018)
April 05, 2018 09:06 - 9 minutesNintendo's Switch may be the popular console on the playground, but make no mistake, Sony's PlayStation 4 is the most popular console in the world—and nothing else even comes close. If you're thinking of buying a new system, PS4 is a great choice. If your friends own any console, it's likely the PS4, and it's home to most of the top games in the last five years. Below are the best bundle deals and cheap prices we could find on the PS4, PS4 Pro (an upgraded PS4 for 4K TVs), and PlayStation VR....
A Nighttime Underwater Spectacle Off the Coast of the Philippines
April 04, 2018 16:31 - 3 minutesBillions of animals live far away from the sun’s rays in the dark depths of the oceans. But at night, they ascend toward the surface for food, an awesome dance that makes up the largest migration on the planet. Scott Tuason is often right there, his camera poised to capture the incredible plankton and pelagic creatures that float before the lens: an octopus riding a jellyfish, a trevally surfing a mangrove leaf, a pair of translucent sea butterflies mating.

6 Speaker Deals: Sony, JBL, Ultimate Ears, Insignia
April 04, 2018 10:39 - 5 minutesSmart speakers are fun to have around. You can tell them what songs to play, ask 'em for the weather, or have them control any smart appliances you have around the house. Unfortunately, they're often pricey. This week, we spotted a few speakers bucking the trend. Best Buy, Jet, and Amazon are holding a few sales on some of the better Bluetooth speakers and smart speakers on the market at some deep discounts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Indie Title 'Small Talk' Is the Cartoony Party Game of My Dreams
April 03, 2018 16:31 - 4 minutesVery few games have an art style that feels personal. Most major games strive for "realism"—the closest consoles and gaming computers can come at any given time to producing a digital landscape that looks the way we imagine the real world looks. But precious few attempt to approach the way the world feels. Small Talk, my favorite game that appeared at last month's Game Developers Conference, is one of those few.

How to Stop Eye Strain: Tips, Tricks, and Apps
April 03, 2018 12:43 - 5 minutesStaring at the computer all day is horrible for your eyes. All those brightly colored pixels clashing with the lighting around you while you stare at your screen for hours on end—it's a recipe for eye fatigue, muscle strain, and headaches. By adhering to a few simple guidelines and by making some physical adjustments to your workspace, you can avoid putting too much strain on your eyes.

Tech Tools to Help With Hand and Arm Injuries
April 02, 2018 07:11 - 8 minutesSometimes, through no fault of your own—or possibly because you were doing something stupid—fate dictates that you should lose the use of your "good hand." Hopefully this is just a temporary situation, like an injury that puts your arm in a sling. Of course, many are not as lucky and suffer a permanent loss. In either case, we must adapt and teach ourselves to go about our lives using our non-dominant hand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Best Unlimited Data Plans: T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon
March 30, 2018 16:31 - 13 minutesIt’s an interesting moment for wireless carriers. For the first time in years, unlimited data plans are available on all four major U.S. carriers (T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, AT&T), and provide shoppers with a lot of choice. Lead by T-Mobile, many of the new plans include new perks, like international roaming or access to streaming content gratis. But that newfound freedom comes with a bevy of gotchas.

March 30, 2018 07:11 - 7 minutesMicrosoft is having a massive Xbox One Spring Sale on games right now.

You Can Model China’s Tiangong-1 Space Station Crash
March 29, 2018 18:28 - 6 minutesAt some point this week, the Chinese space station Tiangong-1 is going to crash down to Earth. When and where? We can't know for sure. And for that, we have physics to blame. Tiangong-1 is in orbit around the Earth at an altitude of about 138 miles. At first approximation, there is only one force acting on the space station—the gravitational pull from the Earth. This gravitational force pulls the space station towards the center of the Earth so that it moves in a mostly circular orbit. Learn ...
With ‘Sniffs’ and ‘Licks,’ Petzbe Makes Social Media Nice Again
March 29, 2018 07:11 - 6 minutesThe CEO of Petzbe, a social networking platform that launched on the App Store last week, is a Brussels Griffon named Angus. Angus can often be found adorned in a stylish jean vest gazing stoically into the distance or, at times, yawning. According to his Petzbe bio, Angus is a “lover of the finer things in life. Peculiar in looks and personality. Extremely loving but with a healthy understanding of [his] human’s shortcomings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Middle School Relationships in the Age of the iPhone
March 28, 2018 17:35 - 4 minutesNervous looks. Passing notes. Gossip around the lunch table. The middle school relationship is an iconic coming-of-age staple that has remained unchanged for decades. But smartphones and apps have fundamentally transformed how kids, you know, “like-like” each other. The youths of Gen Z are communicating more than any generation before them, while simultaneously cutting off human connection at the thumbs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Seniors Get a Wii Bowling League of Their Own
March 28, 2018 07:11 - 3 minutesWhen Dennis Berkholtz’s parents moved to a retirement home in 2004, he worried they’d get bored. “People were just playing bingo,” he recalls. But a couple of years later, Nintendo released the Wii, and Berkholtz—a former Olympic handball player and coach—saw an opportunity. With $120,000 from investors, he launched the National Senior League for Wii Bowling. Today, some 1,400 players on 280 teams compete against rivals in contests nationwide.

March For Our Lives: One High School Student's Experience
March 27, 2018 07:11 - 3 minutesAs I followed the masses of people on Saturday morning toward the Center for Civil Rights, where the march was to kick off, the streets of Downtown Atlanta bigger than I'd ever seen them. Hundreds of people flooded toward the museum, filling any open space accessible. Standing there waiting, surrounded by people, I realized all of this seemed very familiar to me: This was how it felt last January at the Atlanta Women’s March taking the same route through downtown to the capitol.

LG Hom-Bot Turbo+ Review: Beautiful Mediocrity
March 22, 2018 17:14 - 9 minutesIn a crowded botvac market, it can be hard to stand out. LG’s latest vacuum, the Hom-Bot Turbo+, tries to fulfill several functions, above and beyond what you might expect of a humble home appliance. For example: it includes a home security camera! And while most robot vacuums are boring black disks, the Hom-Bot is striking and gorgeous, a low-profile vacuum in brilliant colors made in the shape of a rounded square. It’s especially attractive in the champagne hue of my test model. Learn more ...
Tesla Model 3 Review: The Best Electric Car You Can't Buy
March 22, 2018 16:31 - 13 minutesThe Model 3 is supposed to be Tesla’s humdrum car, the everyday, cut-price offering to the masses. Not the sort of thing that impresses Angelenos, so blasé about celebrities and rich kids valeting their supercars at restaurants. In LA, it takes a special vehicle to stand out. Yet, as I’m driving around town in a (bright red) Model 3, I feel unusually conspicuous, attracting the eyes of passers-by, some of them walking into traffic for a closer look. Friends want a ride.

How to Block Calls and Texts on iPhone in iOS 11
March 22, 2018 07:11 - 6 minutesIt’s been a good five years since Apple came out with the iOS 7 operating system that allowed millions of iPhone owners to block annoying callers (and worse offenders) for the first time. Since then, the art of blocking hasn’t changed much, but there are a few new and improved tweaks available on iOS 11 to help weed out users’ unwanted incoming calls and messages. And if the iPhone's built-in tools aren't enough, there are some apps you can employ to do the blocking too. Learn more about your...
Sennheiser HD 4.4 BT Review: Bargain Bass
March 21, 2018 16:30 - 6 minutesIt’s hard to make a headphone more ordinary-looking than Bose, the king of rounded black plastic, but Sennheiser is giving it a shot. The company’s latest wireless headphones make even conservative cans seem gaudy and overstyled. They’re about as black, matte, and plastic as you can find. Even the name "HD 4.4 BT" is all function, no flash. It stands for HD sound and Bluetooth 4.4. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Dell XPS 13 (2018) Review: Great Update, With a Few Quirks
March 20, 2018 17:31 - 6 minutesDell's XPS line has been part of the 13-inch ultrabook world since its introduction at CES 2012. In the six years that have passed since then, the line has seen a steady series of upgrades, largely just to keep up with the march of technology. However, the latest revision is arguably the biggest one the XPS has seen since its introduction. That said, Dell hasn't exactly redrawn the blueprints. The machine is still designed with portability at top of mind. Learn more about your ad choices. Vis...

You can now buy the standard Vive for $500 (give or take a dollar), which comes with a copy of Fallout 4 VR, the headset, two motion controllers, and two sensor Base Stations that you place around your room.

Tecnica Forge GTX Review: A Form-Fitting Custom Hiking Boot
March 19, 2018 16:30 - 10 minutesAt Outdoor Retailer in January, surrounded by the hubbub of thousands of people and products, I sat perfectly still. I couldn’t move. My feet were strapped into Tecnica’s custom heat-molding machine as I endured being fitted for a test pair of the Tecnica Forge GTX hiking boots. First, Tecnica product manager Federico Sbrissa heated the boot’s insoles to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. When I stepped onto them with socks on, they felt comfortably warm, not hot.

An Aerial Spectacle in the Wright Brothers' Backyard
March 19, 2018 07:11 - 4 minutesThe Wright Brothers flew the first practical aircraft through the skies just outside Dayton, Ohio in 1905. Today, that same air space sees wonders Orville and Wilbur could only dream of: fighter jets, bombers, and other aircraft flying upside down, soaring in formations, writing words with smoke. It’s all part of the Dayton Air Show, an aerial spectacle that draws more than 40,000 people to the birthplace of aviation each June. Learn more about your ad choices.

Samsung Powerbot R7065 Review: Eager to Please
March 16, 2018 07:12 - 9 minutesAfter you’ve tried more than three or four robot vacuums (which I have), you become acutely aware of how hard it is to innovate within such a limited set of constraints. Robot vacuums all tend to be around the same size and shape. The dust bin and the ports are usually in the same place. Maybe the app looks a little different, maybe one has better mapping capabilities. Maybe one has sacrificed a little suction power to have longer battery life. Not so with the Powerbot R7065.

Yeti Camino Carryall Review: Totes Your Damp, Smelly Stuff
March 15, 2018 16:31 - 7 minutesWhile many companies have made it their raison d'etre to turn ordinary outdoor gear into coveted status symbols, few have done with as much success as Austin, Texas-based Yeti. The contrast between the plain, utilitarian objects and the extensive Yeti re-engineering of them is so extreme that it almost verges on parody. It's hard to imagine paying $350 for a cooler when my Igloo has lasted for almost fifteen years. Yeti also sells a high-end bucket. Now, listen, I have many buckets. Learn mor...

'Westworld' at SXSW: The Perfect Allegory For Austin in March
March 13, 2018 17:30 - 7 minutesThe premise of Westworld rests on an uneasy relationship between a town’s residents and the “newcomers”: wealthy, oblivious visitors, convinced that a new cowboy hat gives them permission to do whatever they like. In other words, there’s no better allegory for what happens to Austin during South By Southwest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

PlayStation 4 Pro Review: Comparing PS4 vs. PS4 Pro
March 09, 2018 07:11 - 7 minutesIt’s been more than a year since Sony changed the game for consoles and decided to release a half-upgrade to its PlayStation 4. The PlayStation 4 Pro is a more powerful PS4. It plays every standard PS4 game there is, but has added horsepower to enable high-resolution 4K HDR output for high-end TVs—practically, that translates to prettier visual effects and frame rates.
