What"s New ·

2017/04/10

If the quality of your laptop’s screen is a selling point—and it should have some sway with any serious buyer—then OLED-based machines, what few exist to date, should definitely be on your list. Alienware’s new 13.3-incher is the first gaming rig on the market with an OLED display. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

2017/04/07

Depeche Mode is touring the world, everybody’s talking about Star Wars, and Justin Bieber’s wearing drop-crotch pants. The 80s are back, people. But no matter how much you’re channeling the era, your smartphone is a dead giveaway that you’re living in 2017. That is, unless you wrap your iPhone in one of Slickwraps’ new retro skins, which put a little 80s back into your 21st-century tech. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

That Cool Dialect on The Expanse Mashes Up 6 Languages

What"s New ·

2017/04/06

Andrew Rotilio knows what it feels like to not fit in. Born to first-generation Italian-Canadian parents, the Expanse actor’s first language wasn’t what his teachers spoke in school. He grew up speaking Italian, then learned French and English as a way of surviving, of blending in. By the time he mastered his fourth language, he wasn’t trying to navigate the social complexities of the real world—he was trying to leave it behind completely. Learn more about your ad choices.

Review: BioLite BaseLantern XL

2017/04/05

Wilderness camping offers a wonderful reprieve from our tech-filled lives. Computer screens and connected commutes give way to mountain-peak sunrises and hikes to secluded lakes. The distance from the rat race is rejuvenating. Then night comes, and technology creeps back in. Propane-powered lanterns barely shed enough light for you to see what you're eating for dinner, so you pull out your phone to waste its battery making sure you don't trip over something.

If Boeing learns anything from today’s maiden flight of the 787-10 Dreamliner today, it means something has gone wrong. That’s because the planemaker has left the Wright brothers’ system—build something, throw it off a sand dune, observe—far in the past. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Review: Earin M-1 Wireless Earbuds

What"s New ·

2017/04/03

Apple’s AirPods aren’t the only wireless earbud game in town. If the idea of earplugs as audio gear entices you, another option on the market arrives from Swedish startup Earin and its M-1 earbuds. Look ma, no wires, and no golf clubs dangling from my ears! Better audio quality than expected. Massive connectivity issues. No microphone/phone features at all (not even incoming audio). Very weak battery life. Charging system is underbaked and needs a complete overhaul. Learn more about your ad choices

2017/03/30

People always askme to recommend a portable Bluetooth speaker, and I reflexively mention the same one every time: the UE Boom. The latestversion of this portable powerhouse, the UE Boom 2, provides damn near everything most peoplewant in a speaker. It sounds great, the battery lasts half a day, and you can bring it anywhere. It’s even waterproof and mudproof, so you can take it rafting. All that for $200. But that’s still too much Bitcoin for most people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

The sun has long since set by the time the cars and RVs ramble back into Alexandria to find a somber Rosita at the gate. She says nothing about Sasha's whereabouts, but instead tells Rick, Michonne, Tara and the rest that they have company. That company turns out to be the man in the shadows in last week's episode: Dwight. He wants to help, he says. While he may be Negan's bootleg version of Daryl, Dwight has never been the duplicitous type. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Facebook Messenger Finally Makes Group Chat Not a...

What"s New ·

2017/03/28

For all its virtues, Facebook Messenger works more like email than a group messaging app like GroupMe orTango. If you want to talk with someone directly, no problem. But it hasn’t handled large groups effectively because it lacked some of the key elements that make group messaging fun. It was too simple. A pair of new features, called Reactions and Mentions, constitute part of Facebook’s bid to make Messenger more inclusive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Science fiction cinema has a longstanding problem:Good ideas abound, butgreat ones are in short supply. (And most of the good ones have been used.) After decades of drought, 2001: A Space Odyssey spawned Solaris andStar Wars and Alien, and the genre became popular, but pulpily so; parades of familiartropes spackled over withterrible visual effects.

Some mornings-not many, but some-you wake up to a new iPhone. Surprise! This is one of those mornings. And while today's new iPhone acts just like the old one, it adds a certain special something. It's red. Yes, red, a bright, brilliant, gleaming red, a shade so bright it makes rose gold blush. The case is read. The buttons are red. The fiddly little nano-SIM tray? It's red, too.

2017/03/20

No end of sites and platforms make it easy to watch sports highlights on your phone. But none is more now than House of Highlights. The bombastic, occasionally NSFW Instagram account is the hottest thing going, due in no small part to the dedication of its 22-year-old founder, Omar Raja. "He's honestly like the modern SportsCenter, or the young person's SportsCenter," says Dave Finocchio, CEO of the sports news website Bleacher Report, which bought House of Highlights a couple of years ago.

Holy Shucking Fit: You’re Opening Oysters Wrong

Not quite a year ago, I wrote a story about the merits of good oyster knives, getting a shucking lesson from a pro in the process. I walked away from the lesson with a refreshed appreciation for finding the right tool for the job, but what was most impressive was the shucker's technique, which was like nothing I'd ever seen. My lesson came from Lucas Stone, a shucker at Seattle's fantastic Westward restaurant, and he demonstrated a subtle technique with the formal beauty that recalled the

That's what happens when someone finds out that Negan made ground beef out of your nearest and dearest. Melissa McBride delivers a powerful performance in those seconds, taking Carol from shocked to devastated to angry and determined. Learn more about

It’s 160 degrees outside, a massive sandstorm could appear at any moment, and you’re trying to capture footage of a pack of lions chasing a giraffe. They’re bigger, faster, and scarier than you are. Oh, and you’ve been out in the desert for weeks, waiting for this exact moment. Don’t screw it up. That, evidently, is what it’s like to be a member of the crew for Planet Earth II.

California just ensured one of itswettest winters in state history. I didn't mind all that rain, though, because it gave me the perfect opportunity to try some of the latest waterproof running shoes. I aimed for puddles, muddy ruts, and small streams with childlike abandon while out on my runs.
