Microsoft announced a ton of products today. Some were new, some were major updates, and some were minor refreshes.

We were lucky enough to try most of the devices in person prior to their official announcement, so consider this round-up also something of a hands-on. Here’s the biggest news... Read more ›

The volatile nature of space rocket engines means that many early prototypes end up embedded in dirt banks or decorating the tops of any trees that are unfortunate enough to neighbor testing sites. Unintended explosions are in fact so common that rocket scientists have come up with a euphemism for when it happens: rapid unscheduled disassembly, or RUD for short. Every time a rocket engine blows up, the source of... Read more ›

Design, at its heart, should be about making things better. Whether aesthetically or experientially, the craft should operate as a seamless bridge between a product’s function and the person operating it. The thing is, I’m just not sure that’s the case any longer. Over the past few years, it seems that design has become less user focused, concentrating far more on keeping us addicted and hooked, rather than actually improving... Read more ›

Facebook is using one of its most engaging places on the site to spread positive stories about the company: the News Feed. That’s right. Over the past couple of months, the social network has amplified — under the fitting name of Project Amplify — stories written by the firm to bolster its image.

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL is one of the best ebikes I’ve reviewed, but that unit was meant to provide a gentle assist over a regular bike, rather than helping you blaze up the steepest hills without breaking a sweat. I’ve been curious what the company’s heavier, more powerful models were capable of, and I got to see just that prior to the launch of the new 2021 Turbo Vado... Read more ›
