2018/04/12

When 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

2018/04/11

We'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 choices

2018/04/11

It 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

2018/04/10

Good 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 choices

2018/04/10

It'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 more

PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset Review (2018):...

What"s New ·

2018/04/09

Have 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

2018/04/06

Back 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. Learn

When 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 more

It 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.

Nintendo'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.

Billions 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.

Smart 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.

2018/04/03

Very 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.

Sometimes, 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

You Can Model China’s Tiangong-1 Space Station Crash

What"s New ·

2018/03/29

At 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 more
