When it comes to work bags, I am a ride-or-die backpack person. With a backpack, the weight is carried evenly across your shoulders. Backpacks have a more boxy main compartment, which is useful for carrying oddly-shaped items, like running shoes and my lunch. And they’re usually (but not always!) more affordable.

The Final, Terrible Voyage of the 'Nautilus'

2018/02/15

On May 3, 2008, a sunny Saturday in Copenhagen, a crowd gathered along a dock to watch a 58-foot submarine be lowered into the water. Part art project, part engineering feat, the submarine weighed 40 tons and had been built by volunteers at minimal cost from donated iron and other parts. The onlookers cheered as the submarine floated for the first time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

2018/02/13

Most of the time, it doesn’t pay to try and make something look more expensive than it actually is. Squeak around for the day in a pair of pleather leggings and try to tell me that I’m wrong. But I’m happy when a company can work it, and the RHA MA650s are a great example. From the minute you open the box, the RHA MA650s look, feel, and most importantly, sound like a much more expensive set of headphones. Learn more about your ad choices.

Winter Olympics 2018: Why I Love Watching Curling

What"s New ·

2018/02/13

The first time I watched an Olympic curling match on television, I entertained a thought that is surely shared by everyone who sees the sport for the first time: What the hell am I looking at? It was during the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, and I tuned in to the live feed at the very beginning of a women's medal match. I was intrigued by the grace of the players and how they could effortlessly slide those huge, bulb-like stones down the ice. But everything else about it was confusing. Learn

Neato Botvac Connected Review: It Can Conquer...

2018/02/12

With robot vacuums, as with everything else in life, you get what you pay for. It boggles the mind, and the wallet, to say that $700 is a reasonable price to pay for great cleaning capabilities and a heretofore unprecedented level of control. And yet, here we are. Cheaper botvacs don’t always have the necessary engineering for a thorough, automated clean. But paying a higher price for a robot that spends most of its time lurking under the couch gives me hives.

2018/02/09

Some audiophiles dislike Bose with a passion, and noise cancelling in general. The hate is unwarranted. Here at WIRED, we love these headphones, and it's hard to top Bose QuietComfort series. Bose's noise cancelling technology has come a long way, making the QC series among best headphones for travel or to wear during a noisy commute. Usually, you have to pay about $300 for a set of QuietComfort 25s, but this week Newegg is selling the QC25 series for up to 50 percent off. Learn more about your ad

2018/02/09

The scratch was small, maybe half an inch long. Hard to even see unless you knew where to look. But once you knew, it was the only thing you could see. It was all I could see, anyway. I had only had the car for two weeks when the scratch appeared. I'd gassed up just once by the time I saw it, right there on the hood. How could it have happened? A mishap at the car wash? A passerby I'd wronged? Some kind of deranged animal? It wasn't from another car or falling debris, that was for sure. Learn more

Just 27 hours after launching a Tesla Roadster into orbit around the sun, Elon Musk has turned his gaze from the red planet to the blue one, where he's trying to get a different sort of project off the ground. “If we can send a Roadster to the asteroid belt, we can probably solve Model 3 production," Musk said on an investors call today.

For all the heavy-lifting that goes into making every Star Wars movie—the casting, the elaborate sets, the VFX, the massive international marketing campaigns—it’s amazing any of them get completed. Yet no Star Wars production to date has seemed as fraught as that of Solo: A Star Wars Story. The second standalone movie after Rogue One, the Han Solo prequel/origin story lost its initial directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and saw them replaced by veteran Ron Howard.

In my house it mean turning wrapping paper tubes into swords and hitting your father with them. (Sorry, Dad.)
