The Best Movies You Missed in 2017, From 'The Big Sick' to 'The Florida Project'

December 28, 2017 10:29 - 5 minutes

Every year more movies hit theaters than any sane person could ever hope to try to see. Yet we here at WIRED are crazy enough to try to see as many as we can. And in the process we often catch films that might fall under the radar (or just get overlooked in lieu of a second, or third, viewing of Thor: Ragnarok or Star Wars: The Last Jedi).

Just Ask Amazon: Streaming Football Games Is Way Harder Than It Looks

December 28, 2017 07:11 - 8 minutes

In an NFL game, every big play is a content earthquake. The moment Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones catches a touchdown by ripping the ball out of a hapless defender's hands, the effects ripple far and wide. Somebody in the stands with a good view uploads their video to Instagram. Fantasy scores and online gamecasts update. Twitter goes nuts. Friends text "DID YOU SEE THAT" with a bunch of wide-eye emoji. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

2017 Is the Year the Home Button Died. Soon, You Won’t Miss It

December 27, 2017 16:30 - 7 minutes

The most convincing lie Steve Jobs ever told was "you already know how to use it." For years, Apple crowed about its ability to build gadgets that were so simple and obvious, they were practically ingrained—as if you could emerge from decades of cryogenic freeze and instinctively understand how to 3D-Touch the camera app icon and snap a selfie. Need proof? Just look at this adorable video of a two-year old, already playing games on her iPad! That notion, of course, is false. Learn more about ...

Review: Ecobee4 Thermostat

December 26, 2017 16:30 - 6 minutes

It’s impossible to write a review of any smart thermostat without addressing the elephant in the room—the Nest thermostat. As WIRED’s David Pierce has said, the Nest has been the gateway to smart thermostat ownership for millions. It was my family's first smart thermostat. When the Nest first came out, we installed it, downloaded the app, and rubbed our hands together gleefully. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Mafia Deep Blue Bag Review: A Lightweight Hiking Bag With a Conscience

December 25, 2017 16:30 - 8 minutes

The San Francisco company Mafia Bags has been making beautiful and functional bags out of recycled materials for years. The brand's trademark medium is sailcloth, the remnants of spent boating sails and kites that would otherwise end up in the trash. Last month, Mafia teamed up with Adam Savage to make the EDC One, an all-white sailcloth utility bag. Now, the company has teamed with noted designer Yves Béhar to make a backpack called the Deep Blue Bag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit ...

December 22, 2017 16:30 - 7 minutes

Yes, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in theaters and that’s all you really need to know. Well, that and the fact that it made a lot of money and has been surprisingly divisive amongst fans. (Maybe.)

The Tech That's Going to Make Air Travel Less Awful

December 22, 2017 07:11 - 7 minutes

You have to be a hardcore avgeek to enjoy flying these days. People shuffling from one line to the next, shoes off, laptops out, passports checked, power failures, where’s the bar? But airlines, airport operators, and security staff, are turning to tech to ease the pain. Here are some of the latest airport innovations to look out for. Learn more about your ad choices.

How YouTube Became the World's Best Film School

December 21, 2017 16:30 - 13 minutes

All Michael Tucker wanted was to learn how to be a better writer. Film school had given him a solid background in film theory and plenty of directing experience, but when he moved to Los Angeles a couple of years after graduation, Tucker decided his weakest asset was his screenwriting. "If I want to be serious and get to the next level," he told himself, "I need to have a script that is good. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Review: Suga Yoga Mat

December 21, 2017 07:11 - 7 minutes

I love the smell of neoprene in the morning, and that’s not just an Apocalypse Now reference. It’s the truth. If you've ever surfed, the smells of neoprene, wax, and salt water all have powerful memories attached to them. It’s just too bad that neoprene, as a material, is terrible for the environment. It’s made from petrochemicals in a process that is extremely energy-intensive, and it doesn’t ever break down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Shapa Smart Scale Never Tells You How Much You Weigh

December 20, 2017 16:30 - 8 minutes

The scale of the future does not have numbers or dials. It does not tweet out your body fat percentage, nor does it calculate how much water you're currently retaining. The scale of the future will not scream at you when you’ve come home after a long night of drinking and ordered an entire pizza, fully loaded, to eat by yourself. It knows when you’ve done this, of course. It just doesn’t tell you. The scale of the future won't even tell you how much you weigh. Learn more about your ad choices...

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi': We Need to Talk About The Big Controversy

December 20, 2017 07:11 - 22 minutes

Another December, another massive opening for a Star Wars movie—this time to the tune of $450 million worldwide. That alone isn't really surprising; Star Wars fans tend to be the See It Opening Weekend type. What is surprising, though, is how divisive the film turned out to be.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Q&A: Writer-Director Rian Johnson on the Future of the Franchise

December 19, 2017 16:30 - 13 minutes

Whether you loved it or hated it (most people liked it), everyone can agree there's a lot to unpack in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It's 2 hours and 35 minutes of drama, space fights, switched sides, and creatures—at least one of which Mark Hamill drinks from. That's kind of a lot. But don't say Rian Johnson never gave you anything. And really, fans should expect nothing less from him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Amazon Echo Spot Review: Bring Alexa Into Your Bedroom

December 19, 2017 07:11 - 8 minutes

Last week, I spent two days holed up in a drab Sheraton hotel just outside of downtown San Diego. My only company came from Alexa, in the form of Amazon's new Echo Spot. This is the company's newest Echo device, yet another way to bring Alexa inside your house. It's also the second Echo with a screen and a camera, after the Echo Show. The Spot is a similar thing, only a lot smaller and a lot better-looking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Google Home Max Review: A Bigger (and Louder) Smart-Home Speaker

December 18, 2017 16:30 - 9 minutes

I know there's one big reason you're reading this review, so I'll get right to it: The Google Home Max sounds just fantastic. It's a big speaker, powerful and dramatic. It's deep and weighty on the bottom, clear everywhere else, and well-rounded overall. It's voice is better than I expected, and also much louder. As much as I wanted to turn it up while I was testing it, I kept nervously nudging the volume down because it puts out such a wallop. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastc...

Review: August Smart Lock Pro + Connect

December 18, 2017 07:11 - 8 minutes

The best smart home gadgets are the ones that you can set and forget: A scheduled robot vacuum comes in the night and picks up all your crumbs while you’re sleeping, like a magical crumb fairy. A microwave’s internal sensors defrost a hunk of frozen pork without scorching. To wit: A great device is one that lets you be as stupid as you want.

How Ford Build a New Kind of Engine for Its GT Supercar

December 15, 2017 16:30 - 4 minutes

When the Ford GT won its class in the famously grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race last year, it wasn't just a celebration for the team which developed the all new supercar. It was a relief. The victory in the GTE Pro class came 50 years after Ford's historic 1966 win with the GT40, when the American automaker proved (mostly to spite Ferrari) that it could dominate the track in Europe as well as the US.

Patagonia Going After President Trump Tops This Week's Internet News Roundup

December 15, 2017 07:11 - 12 minutes

Who can even manage to get into the holiday spirit considering the whirlwind week that just passed? Not only was Southern California on fire, but several politicians resigned amidst sexual harassment claims while others continued to run for office despite facing their own sexual abuse allegations. Yes, time continued to speed up last week, but what else happened? Just a few small things. Keep reading. What Happened: The President of the United States wants Americans to own America.

Virginia's I-66 Toll Road Really Should Be the Future of Driving

December 14, 2017 16:30 - 9 minutes

There are plenty of reasons for outrage coming out of Washington, DC, these days, but this week the divided region found a common enemy. The express lanes on Interstate 66 near DC, previously reserved for vehicles carrying two or more people, opened up to solo travelers. Except those single-occupancy vehicles have to pay a toll, one that fluctuates according to demand. The world watched, aghast, as tolling prices hit $40 for folks headed into the capital on Tuesday morning. Learn more about y...

As the Southern California Fires Rage, a Boeing 747 Joins the Fight

December 14, 2017 07:11 - 6 minutes

The largest and most destructive fire burning in California continues to grow, consuming dry brush as it races not just through but across the canyons north of Los Angeles. Strong winds and dry conditions mean flames can leap large distances, prompting thousands to evacuate their homes. The Thomas Fire has now spread from Ventura County into Santa Barbara County, burning up 230,000 acres—an area larger than New York City and Boston combined. Learn more about your ad choices.

Twitter's Newest Feature: Multi-Tweet Threads

December 13, 2017 07:11 - 5 minutes

Everybody loves a good #thread. You know the type: those long strings of related messages designed to tell a story or make a point that can't be expressed in a single tweet. They used to be called tweetstorms; now they're just threads. The Trump era has spawned many threads, and you can find good ones on everything from Starbucks zombies to Olive Garden fights to the deeply personal ramifications of health-care policy.

I Can't Stop Drinking Coffee Out of This Temperature-Regulating Mug

December 12, 2017 16:30 - 7 minutes

My daily coffee routine goes something like this: I arrive at the office, drop my bag next to my desk, grab my mug, and head to the kitchen. I fill it to the brim with the delicious Stumptown brews WIRED provides and bring it back to my desk. Then begins a careful countdown: I have to wait a few minutes for the joe to cool, then drink it as fast as possible before it gets cold. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jaron Lanier Q&A: VR Visionary and Author of 'Dawn of the New Everything'

December 12, 2017 13:39 - 8 minutes

Jaron Lanier may not have sired the term virtual reality—that honor generally goes to French playwright Antonin Artaud in 1938—but he’s one hell of a father figure. As the founder of legendary VR company VPL Research, he both popularized the term and helped create most of the enduring icons of early VR, from The Lawnmower Man’s snazzy headset and gear to the ill-fated Nintendo Power Glove.

Review: Neato Botvac D5 Connected

December 12, 2017 07:11 - 9 minutes

It is hard not to anthropomorphize robot vacuums. They live in your house. Some work with focused intensity, zipping back and forth; others bounce haphazardly from wall to wall. Some are loud, others quiet. Some will even bombard you with text messages while you’re at work. As I watched the Neato Botvac D5 Connected climb determinedly into a dog food bowl, the comparison that came most readily to mind was Lenny from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.

Bose QC35 Review, Price, and Specs

December 11, 2017 16:30 - 7 minutes

I take sick joy in flying. Most people hate air travel. I get it—the atrocious lines, the cramped seating, the overpriced gum at Hudson News. I endure it because it provides many hours of blissful me time. I devour podcasts. Kindle books. Magazines. Entire Pink Floyd albums. I might even chat with my wife a little. (I never, ever, pay for Wi-Fi. It always sucks and it makes me think about work.) I absolutely love it. Headphones are a big (really big) part of this narcissistic orgy of self. Le...

Jaguar Challenges Tesla, a Corvette Shoots Fire, and More This Week in the Future of Cars

December 11, 2017 07:11 - 7 minutes

If you want to cheap out on a new shirt—you’re heading, say, to Target instead of Bergdorf Goodman—you probably expect to get a totally fine piece of cloth to hang on your back, and won't get too upset when it inevitably falls apart. The same, tragically, does not apply to American roads. If you don’t pay what the street is worth, the street is going to be bad, for everyone: potholed, packed with traffic, smoggy, poorly monitored by law enforcement. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bolt Threads' New Hat Shows the Promise of Synthetic Spider Silk

December 08, 2017 07:11 - 7 minutes

A hat made from Rambouillet wool is a perfectly nice hat. The fiber, shorn from a Rambouillet sheep, is fine and soft. Not at all scratchy. “They call it the American merino,” says Dan Widmaier, the founder of Bolt Threads, a biotech company that grows synthetic spider silk from yeast.

If Quentin Tarantino Makes a 'Star Trek' Movie, It's Gonna Need a Few Things

December 06, 2017 07:11 - 6 minutes

Look, the news is hardly ever “normal” anymore. If we all got a CNN alert in the middle of the night that militarized guppies had taken over the southern tip of Florida, it probably wouldn’t even warrant sitting up in bed. That said, hearing that Quentin Tarantino has reportedly successfully pitched a new Star Trek movie that J.J. Abrams might produce is still a record-skip, halt-the-dancefloor moment.

Eagles vs. Seahawks: Why Russell Wilson's Forward Pass Looks Backwards

December 05, 2017 16:30 - 5 minutes

During Sunday's NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Philadelphia Eagles, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson makes a pretty nice move. After taking the ball and running with it, he makes a quick pitch off to the side while faking out the defender. Looks pretty cool, but it probably wasn't legal. In the NFL, you can only toss the ball backwards once you cross the line of scrimmage. This should have been a penalty for an illegal forward pass, but it looks like he got away with it. Lea...

San Francisco Plan to Adjust Parking Prices Based on Demand

December 04, 2017 16:30 - 7 minutes

Let’s say you have to run an errand, a small-ish one. You’re stopping by your doctor’s office to pick up a prescription; you gotta return a regretted online purchase at the post office.

Tesla Wannabe Lucid Takes on the Auto Industry With a Stunning Electric Sedan

December 01, 2017 16:30 - 7 minutes

While the world's most famous automakers were pulling the covers off their latest, shiniest offerings at the Los Angeles Auto Show, a dark gray sedan circled the convention center, almost silently. Riding on 21-inch wheels, the Lucid Air cuts a muscular stance, its door handles flush with the body of the car, one thin bar of light bars stretching across its front, another along the slightly boxy rear. Fully electric, it offers a tempting vision of the future. Learn more about your ad choices....

November 30, 2017 16:30 - 8 minutes

Academics and researchers in relationships often face what is known as “the two-body problem,” in which they struggle to find positions for both people at either the same institution, or institutions that are close to each other. I also have a two-body problem, except neither of the bodies is mine. The bodies belong to my toddler and my infant, and the options for transporting both at the same time, as well as all of their ever-multiplying stuff, are limited.

An Otherworldly Dive Into a Mexican Sinkhole

November 30, 2017 07:11 - 4 minutes

For British photographer Tom St. George, diving is escape. But when he plunged into this underwater cave in Tulum, Mexico last month, he found himself on another planet entirely. Runoff stained with tannins from the forest had dyed the normally clear water a surreal, Martian shade of red. "It really did feel like being in outer space," he says The cave he visited is the Aktun Ha cenote, a submerged sinkhole people also call the "carwash" because taxi drivers once scrubbed their cabs there.

Nothing will make you hate humans—capricious, volatile, unplanned, erratic humans—like sitting in the back of self-driving car. When I hitched a ride in one, a white and orange General Motors Cruise autonomous vehicle during a press event in San Francisco on Tuesday, every movement was a cause for alarm. Two walkers darted out in front of the car during my roughly 20-minute, 3-mile ride, blissfully ignorant that they were trusting their lives to a piece of software. Learn more about your ad c...

None have ever offered much reason to switch away from Chrome, Google's fast, simple web tool.

Email Is Broken. Can Anyone Fix It?

November 28, 2017 07:11 - 13 minutes

Let's start this story at the end: You can't kill email. Attempting to do so is a decades-long tradition of the tech industry, a cliché right up there with "Uber, but for" and "The Netflix of X." AOL Instant Messenger tried to kill email. So did MySpace. Then Facebook took up the mantle, followed by Slack and Symphony and WhatsApp and HipChat.

Amazon Echo and Google Home—and other devices that have Alexa and Google Assistant built in—are some of the most promising new technologies to come along in years.

The TSA Is Testing New Scanners to Make Airport Security More Efficient
