Let's Use Physics to Measure Just How Hulky the Incredible Hulk Is in Thor: Ragnarok
September 18, 2017 08:11 - 5 minutesIn most recent trailer for Thor: Ragnarok , it seems clear that Thor teams up with The Hulk, Loki, and Valkyrie—but for me, I'm mostly pumped up about seeing The Hulk again. Towards the end of the trailer, The Hulk is standing with the rest of The Revengers team (the name Thor comes up with on the spot). But there's something funny about this trailer: To me, it seems like The Hulk is much bigger in Thor: Ragnarok than in the previous Marvel movies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podc...
Jaybird Run Review: These Wireless Buds Have Great Sound, but Bad Bluetooth
September 15, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesJaybird's Run headphones aren't meant for you to stick them in your ears and forget about them. They're not ear-puters. Like all Jaybird headsets, they're made for runners, and I guess all exercisers, but mostly runners. They're designed to stay put in your sweaty ears for a whole trail run, blasting music until you've crossed the finish line. For $180, they'd better shave some serious time off your personal best. The Runs pump out rich, detailed sound, especially punchy in the low end. Learn...
iPhone X and iPhone 8: Specs, Price, Availability
September 14, 2017 08:11 - 11 minutesThe new iPhone X packs more new stuff into any device since the original iPhone. It's the most complete redesign of the product ever, and even offers a glimpse at what the iPhone might become when the world no longer wants smartphones. Of course, you probably won't buy one. Even if you can afford the super-high price, getting your hands on an iPhone X in the next few months will be like hunting for the holy grail. Except in this case, the fancy one is the right answer.

That Delta Plane Flying Straight Through Hurricane Irma Was NBD
September 13, 2017 08:11 - 6 minutesThere are some places that feel very safe. Like your bed. Or a corner booth at your favorite diner. Or Mom's kitchen table. There are some places that feel very un safe. Like in a commercial airliner in the middle of one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded. But that's where 173 Delta passengers, plus flight crew, found themselves Wednesday afternoon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
A Requiem for the iPhone's Home Button
September 12, 2017 08:11 - 6 minutesIn the beginning, nobody knew how to use an iPhone . That informed everything about the device's design: The green felt in Game Center communicated fun and gambling, the messily ripped paper at the top of the Notes app made clear that this was where you scribbled away. The music app was called iPod, not Music, because Apple deemed that more easily understood. Using an iPhone was like bowling with bumpers—no one told you exactly what to do, but you couldn't screw up too badly either. Learn mor...
Garmin's Fenix 5X Review: The Best, Most Rugged Multi-Sport Watch
September 11, 2017 08:11 - 9 minutesGarmin’s Fenix line has long been among the best—if not the best—multisport watches money can buy. These capable wrist-puters add performance tracking and GPS-based mapping to just about every outdoor activity. Critics have been vocal about the watches’ bulk, so there was much rejoicing earlier this year when Garmin announced multiple, slimmed-down versions of the watch, including the slender 5S.

LG’s V30 Packs More Camera Than You’ve Ever Seen in a Phone
September 08, 2017 08:11 - 7 minutesIf you're going to make a phone, you have to get a lot of things right. You need all-day battery life, a big crisp screen, thoughtful software, lots of apps, a great camera, and so much more. And here's the best part: Even if you do all that, you're still just like every other phone . Making a kick-ass, take-no-prisoners phone that does everything well just lumps you into the middle of the pack. LG knows all about the middle of the pack. Learn more about your ad choices.

Need a Fall TV Preview? Desus & Mero Are Here to Help
September 07, 2017 08:11 - 6 minutes“Having a TV show gives you carte blanche to say whatever you want about any other TV show,” says The Kid Mero, one half of Viceland’s raucous late-night talkfest Desus & Mero . Co-host Desus Nice takes it a step further: “If you don’t have a TV show, you shouldn’t be allowed to comment on TV shows. This is my new, one percent way of living. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sony's Speaker Looks Like HomePod, Works Like Google Home
September 06, 2017 08:11 - 3 minutesEvery smart speaker has its advantages. With Amazon Echo , you get access to tens of thousands of "skills," the mini-apps that start a game of Jeopardy or help you mix a cocktail. With Google Home , you have the full power of Google search at your beck and call. And when Apple's HomePod comes out later this year, it'll be by far the best-sounding voice-enabled speaker of the bunch. Sony doesn't have a voice assistant, but knows its way around a speaker.

Apple's Next iPhone Comes September 12 on Apple's New Campus
September 05, 2017 08:11 - 3 minutesSurprise, everyone! Apple's going to launch a new iPhone. Crazy, right? You had no idea. You definitely know nothing about the device itself, or the screen it'll use, or whether it'll use your face to unlock, or if there's going to be a home button. Will there be bezels? Gosh, who could really say. Here's what we do know: The event's going to be September 12, starting at 10 am California time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
SanDisk’s 400GB MicroSD Card Can Store an Insane Amount of Data
September 04, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesThe nice thing about being a digital hoarder is that all of your stuff doesn’t accumulate in scattered piles around your living room. The downside? There’s never enough space. And while SanDisk’s new 400GB microSD card may still not satiate the most extreme storage hounds, good lord is that a lot of room in a teeny tiny package. The SanDisk microSXDC USH-I, which sounds like it was named after a lesser Star Wars droid, easily offers more space than any microSD card before it. Learn more about...
You'll Want to Twist the Big Knob on the New Logitech Craft Keyboard
September 01, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesHere's something creative types will be eager to take for a spin: Logitech's newest keyboard , which has a wheel on it. The Logitech Craft is a sturdy and comfortable wireless keyboard for Mac and Windows that has a wheel in the upper-left corner, just above the escape key. This wheel—or the "Crown input dial," as the company calls it—works straight out of the box with Adobe's Creative Cloud apps and (only on Windows PCs) Microsoft's suite of Office apps.

Temi, a Tablet on Wheels, Can Be Your New Robot Roommate
August 31, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesYossi Wolf, the CEO of robot-maker Roboteam, almost didn't want to call his newest product a robot . When people think of robots, he says, they expect the stuff of science fiction—machines with faces and personalities indistinguishable from humans. Temi, the rolling robot Wolf hopes you'll soon have in your home, looks more like a tablet on wheels. Wolf knows a thing or two about robots, though. Learn more about your ad choices.

'Game of Thrones' Finale Reactions: Yeah, We're Gonna Need to Talk About That One
August 30, 2017 08:11 - 11 minutesWell, as we hoped would happen , Game of Thrones celebrated the coming of winter by bringing some serious heat. At nearly 80 minutes, “The Dragon and the Wolf” was the series’ longest to date, and it packed in what it could from the very beginning. Most of that was revelation rather than spectacle, but by the time the credits rolled, much of the show’s ambiguity had fallen away, leaving viewers with a clear view heading into the show’s eighth and final season.

Behold Burning Man’s Awesome and Totally Bizarre Architecture
August 29, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesA metal frame, dome and a lot of pink fabric make up Pink Heart Camp by John “Halcyon” Styn. The SF Bay Area Airpusher Collective dubbed their structure "The Airpusher." The Dome of Dough is made up of 850 loaves of bread. It's inspired by the Wildrose Canyon charcoal kilns in Death Valley, California. This giant duck is the brainchild of Isaiah Martin, David Shields and Tandy Nill. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Overlooked Heroes Who Lead Climbers Up Everest
August 28, 2017 08:11 - 5 minutesMore than 600 people climb Mount Everest every year, and not one of them could do it without an army of Sherpas, porters, and others guiding them every step of the way. Steve Brown celebrates these people in The Business of Everest . Some have climbed the world's tallest mountain a dozen times, risking their lives with every trek and getting little credit for it. “All the people who are so famous for climbing Everest are white western climbers,” Brown says.

Review: Essential Phone
August 25, 2017 08:11 - 11 minutesWhen I met Andy Rubin, the founder of Android, earlier this year to talk about his new company, he showed me a PowerPoint deck from 2009. His team put it together just before the debut of the Motorola Droid, Android’s first real chance to take on the iPhone. The campaign slogan was “Droid Does,” and Motorola planned to harp on all the things the iPhone couldn’t do. It crowed about multitasking, “real keyboards,” and interchangeable batteries.

Wow, 'Terminator 2' in 3-D Is a Bad Idea
August 24, 2017 08:11 - 3 minutesHaving nearly run out of eye-rolling Avengers conjoinings and bastardized reboots, Hollywood execs have landed on an even lazier way to sell movie tickets: 3-D releases of beloved classics. The latest victim of this desecration? Terminator 2 : Judgment Day . Twenty-six years since Arnold Schwarzenegger launched his motorcycle off a culvert wall and into our hearts, the ultimate action flick is back in multiplexes, now promising three dimensions of taut Terminator flesh.

Cord-Cutting Still Doesn't Beat the Cable Bundle
August 23, 2017 08:11 - 9 minutesI'd like to cut the cord. It sounds fun! I picture myself wielding cartoonishly large gardening shears, poised to sever the nearest coaxial cable. I rejoice in the thought of my newfound freedom, of sending my Charter Spectrum account to that great big cancellation form in the sky. And then, the very instant I allow myself to picture what life looks like after that figurative snip , my reverie comes crashing down. Learn more about your ad choices.

What a Solar Eclipse Taught Me About Love
August 22, 2017 08:11 - 7 minutesThe darkness came unexpectedly. One second my father was walking my 7-year-old brother and my 10-year-old self past a bodega in New York City; the next, a shadow descended. The noise of the city stopped. A taxi pulled up nearby and parked in the middle of the road. Feet clacked on the sidewalk once and fell silent. I gripped my brother’s hand and pulled him close. My dad turned around and stared at us, his fear confirming that something wasn’t right—and maybe even very wrong. Learn more about...
Nokia’s New Phone Ushers In the Unfortunate Era of the ‘Bothie’
August 21, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesAllow me to introduce you to "the bothie." It's not a selfie, nor a normal photo (which all the cool kids call a "youie" ), but a hybrid of the two. It's a composite shot from both cameras on your phone, showing both you and whatever else is out there. It's a bothie. Crazy idea? Maybe. And yet, if history is any indication, you'll scoff at the bothie now and then while you're not looking they will take over the world. Now, allow me to introduce you to The Bothie Phone.

Ditch That Landline and Use Google Home Instead
August 18, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesYou probably don't have a landline phone, because it's not 1995. But you miss it sometimes, don't you? Knowing where the phone was all the time, having something anyone could pick up and use, avoiding the rock-paper-scissors over who has to waste their cell phone battery calling Dominos. Earlier this year at its developer conference , Google promised to turn its Home smart speaker into a sort of futuristic landline. Today, it's making good on that promise.

Ford's GT ’67 Heritage Is Yet Another Tribute to Its 1960s Racing Dominance
August 17, 2017 08:11 - 3 minutesAh, the late 1960s. LBJ occupied the White House. The Beatles ruled the charts. And Ford spent its summer vacations in France, settling a grudge with Ferrari by dominating the 24 Hours of Le Mans after the Italian outfit flaked on a deal to become part of the American automaker. Ford's GT40 won the legendary endurance race—over which Ferrari had long ruled—every year from 1966 to 1969. Half a century later, the Americans are still celebrating.

Ikea's Home Smart Line Could Shake Up the Smart Home Industry
August 16, 2017 08:11 - 9 minutesThe "smart home" has not yet distinguished itself. Sure, you might dim your lights with an app; you might even talk to your large appliances. But despite years of promised ubiquity, the connected home has yet to cleave with mainstream reality. It's too expensive, too futzy, too filled with interoperability landmines. You know who can fix that? Ikea. In fact, it's already started to. Ikea's current smart home lineup is limited to a handful of lighting products. Nothing so special about that. L...
An Insane View of the Milky Way From the Edge of New Zealand
August 15, 2017 08:11 - 3 minutesNew Zealand's South Island spans 58,000 square miles of breathtaking, verdant terrain. But nothing on the ground surpasses what's in the sky. The region is home to the largest dark sky observatory in the world, glittering with millions of stars and spectacular views of the Milky Way. Photographer Paul Wilson lives on South Island and is an ardent star gazer. He spends countless hours traveling to far-flung corners of the island to point his camera at the heavens.

Game of Thrones Recap: The Kids Are All Right
August 14, 2017 08:11 - 8 minutesIn the very first episode of Game of Thrones in 2011, the very first scene at Winterfell was about the children: Septa Mordane praising Sansa for her elegant embroidery; Bran trying and failing to land an arrow in a target while his brothers laughed; Arya showing him up from twice the distance, hitting the bullseye with a cocky smile. When news arrived that a deserter had been captured—running from the White Walkers, who were only a myth then—Ned brought Bran along for the execution. Learn mo...
This Huge Sand Tiger Shark Ain’t Got No Time for Puny Fish
August 11, 2017 08:11 - 3 minutesSeeing a six-foot sand tiger shark suddenly appear right in front of you would surely make your heart skip a beat or two. But Tanya Houppermans, who nabbed this incredible shot 15 miles off the coast of North Carolina coast, says it was no big deal. With a smooth flick of its tail, the shark moved along, its beady black eyes set on bigger fish. “You would think it got a smorgasboard of food it can fill up on,” she says. “But that just didn’t happen.

Easy Ways to Make Your Janky Wi-Fi Faster and Better
August 10, 2017 08:11 - 6 minutesA gadget's only as good as its internet connection. Few things drive you crazier than a stuttery PUBG session or an episode of Game of Thrones streaming one. Halting. Word. At. A. Time. You probably don't think much about your router, though. And yet, by the time you've connected a family's worth of phones and tablets—plus your laptop, Roku, Xbox, smart fridge, doorbell, and thermostat—you've stressed out that Netgear RT-X86Something you bought at Circuit City in 2008.

Here's Proof That Commuter Bikes Don't Have to Suck
August 09, 2017 08:11 - 5 minutesThe perfect city bike would be comfy and safe to ride and it would look sharp. Bonus points if it's super-low maintenance and doesn't require you to constantly fiddle with the chain and the shifters. Such bikes exist, but not if you're on a budget. Bikes quickly get pricey once you start adding features that make them lighter, safer, and less fussy. But I've got some good news: I think I've found the ideal city bike.

The Nintendo Switch Is the Future of Gadget Design
August 08, 2017 08:11 - 7 minutesHere are a few of the places I've played Mario Kart in the last two weeks: On the couch. In bed. On the train. In an Uber. On a plane. In a Vegas hotel. At the dog park. In a weirdly long line at Trader Joe's. And, of course, on the toilet, more times than I'm proud of. In every case, all I had to do was whip out my Nintendo Switch, press a button or two, and head off to the animated races. Like most people, I'm a bit late getting my hands on the Switch, the console Nintendo released earlier ...
You Can Thank Joss Whedon For That Great New Justice League Trailer
July 31, 2017 08:11 - 4 minutesWhen the Justice League crew took the stage at Comic-Con International’s Hall H on Saturday—minus Henry Cavill, whose Superman is technically dead—they did so to a standing ovation, with the loudest screams reserved for Gal Gadot/Wonder Woman. But as the banter started and the footage rolled, there was one thing missing: their director. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Netflix's Secret Weapon Isn't Reboots—It's Genre Movies
July 28, 2017 08:11 - 7 minutesWhen David Ayer strode across the stage of Hall H yesterday, he didn't sit down behind the placard with his name on it. He didn't stand at the long table, applauding the audience and waiting for the cast and producers of his new movie, Bright. No, the director walked past all that, straight to the lectern at the other end of the stage. He hugged the actor Terry Crews, who was there to moderate the panel—and then leaned over so he could talk into Crews' microphone. "Hall H!" he shouted. Learn ...
Trump’s New Comms Director Hates Most of Trump's Policies
July 27, 2017 08:11 - 10 minutesEarlier today, the White House announced that financier Anthony Scaramucci (also known as "The Mooch") would fill the role of White House communications director, a job that's been open since Mike Dubke resigned in May. And with former Press Secretary Sean Spicer's resignation just hours after, Scaramucci, new to the field, will have his work cut out for him. Especially since it he and the president disagree on so many of the policies Scaramucci will try to sell to the public. Learn more abou...
Turn Off Your Push Notifications. All of Them
July 26, 2017 08:11 - 9 minutesPush notifications are ruining my life. Yours too, I bet. Download more than a few apps and the notifications become a non-stop, cacophonous waterfall of nonsense. Here's just part of an afternoon on my phone: "Hi David! We found new Crown jewels and Bottle caps Pins for you!" "Everyone's talking about Bill Nye's new book, Everything All at Once.

The First Alexa Phone Gets Amazon Even Closer to Total Domination
July 25, 2017 08:11 - 6 minutesAmazon's Alexa has plenty going for it. Developers have trained the virtual assistant with over 10,000 “skills”—apps you talk to instead of tap—to do everything from hailing a Lyft to checking your stock portfolio. At home, Alexa can control the lights, set timers, play your local NPR station, and generally achieve that Jarvis-level assistance that feels so much like the future.

Oxo's Coffee Grinder and Brewer Make a Damn Good Cup
July 24, 2017 08:11 - 7 minutesNot even wine snobs are as hardcore as coffee snobs. To pour a great glass of wine, you need a corkscrew and some money. To pour a great cup of coffee, you need beans, gear, time and patience. There is a process, you see. It is complex and requires study. Any gray areas must be marked off as personal territory and argued over. Nothing unleashes righteous indignation in otherwise pleasant people more than coffee. Recently, the venerable kitchen-and-housewares brand Oxo stepped into the bean br...
Stromer's Monstrous $5,000 E-Bike Will Eat Your Children
July 21, 2017 08:11 - 14 minutesThe biggest trend in the e-bike industry today is the “S-pedelic.” If you’re still riding a beach cruiser, here’s the intel: “Pedelic” is shorthand for “pedal electric cycle,” which means that the rider’s expended energy is assisted by a small motor.

Game of Thrones Recap Season 7, Episode 1: When Vengeance Becomes Your God
July 20, 2017 08:11 - 8 minutesThe seventh season of Game of Thrones opens in its most infamous locale: The Twins. This was the place where the story shattered—where the rules of Westeros, the rules of hospitality, the rules of fantasy stories themselves sheared away from themselves like a great wall of ice and floated away into the sea.

Review: Specialized Turbo Vado 6.0
July 19, 2017 08:11 - 6 minutesLike many cyclists who consider themselves purists, I’ve had difficulty wrapping my brain around the increasing popularity of e-bikes: Worldwide sales tallied 36 million units in 2016. German postal workers use e-bikes on their routes, and in the US, major bike manufacturers like Specialized, Cannondale, and Trek have introduced a surprising array of motorized options, from off-road fatties to commuters.

You Might Actually Love This iPod Shuffle for Spotify
July 17, 2017 08:11 - 9 minutesStreaming killed the music gadget years ago. Just up and drove a stake through its silicon heart as listeners traded 99-cent song downloads for $10 monthly subscriptions to all-you-can-listen services. OK, maybe you have some Baby Driver-induced nostalgia for an iPod. But when was the last time you ripped a CD, or dropped 15 bucks on an album? Even the idea of choosing 5,000 songs to carry with you and plugging something into a computer to load them seems like an ancient ritual. Learn more ab...
Review: Hestan Cue
July 14, 2017 08:11 - 8 minutesIn the kitchen, people have an amazing tolerance for imprecision. Ovens might say 400 degrees, but many regularly veer 20 degrees above or below that mark, if it’s calibrated correctly in the first place. On the stovetop, we don’t even have the specificity of degrees. Turn the dial up to “high” or “medium-low” or just “seven,” even though every manufacturer has a different standard for what that place on the dial means. Learn more about your ad choices.

How Many Times Has Mario Died? Announcing a WIRED Investigation
July 11, 2017 08:11 - 6 minutesThere are certain seminal moments in history, and July 9, 1981, should surely stand among them. That was the day Nintendo officially began selling Donkey Kong to arcades—and introduced the world to a mustachioed little fellow named Jumpman.

The Physics of Almost Whacking Someone With a Bowling Ball
July 10, 2017 08:11 - 10 minutesEvery once in awhile a new science show comes on TV. I find some of them pretty good and others not that great. I was pleasantly surprised to find Outrageous Acts of Danger on the Science channel features a reasonable amount of science and makes it interesting. It does this by making otherwise common science demonstration absurdly dangerous. One recent episode riffed on the classic physics demo in which you hang a heavy ball (bowling balls are common) on a wire and release it near someone's h...

The President Does Not Lie Like You and Me
July 05, 2017 08:11 - 12 minutesEarlier this week, the New York Times posted a comprehensive accounting of President Donald Trump’s lies. It is, among other things, a triumph of web design. Orange, san-serif dates turn each falsehood into bricks in a vast wall. Scrolling turns the wall into a wave, a tsunami of mendacity. Learn more about your ad choices.

July 04, 2017 08:11 - 21 minutesHappy long weekend, friends. How’s it going? Feeling rested? After last week, you deserve a break. And that's not even because everything that happened last week was bad—Jay-Z did drop a new album to apologize to Beyoncé and Germany did legalize same-sex marriage, after all—it was all just kind of a lot.
