What Happened to Egghead Software

news.ycombinator.com Dave Farquhar 2025-10-27 19:18:18

Egghead Software was a US retail store that sold computer software from 1984 to 2001. It declared bankruptcy 24 years ago this week, on August 18, 2001, after an attempted transition to selling online failed. Egghead Software’s beginnings Egghead Software started in Bellevue, Washington in 1984 and moved eastward. Its founder, Victor D. Alhadeff, had a background in oil and gas, but when his old company went out of business in 1983, he needed a new idea. That came from shopping for software. A

Walk into any store with pop culture merchandise, and you’re sure to find something Deadpool. The ultra-popular, potty-mouthed Marvel character is no stranger to all manner of merch from toys and plushes to socks, water bottles, bedsheets, and so much more. Deadpool is, and will continue to be, everywhere. And yet, his new Marvel Legends figure is so good, it still somehow stands head, shoulders, and samurai swords above the rest.

One of China’s Largest Tech Companies Just Copied Apple’s Biggest Flop

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-03 14:30:17

Apple has had some misses in the past (looking at you, G4 Cube), but in recent times, arguably no piece of hardware has been a bigger flop than the Vision Pro. But just because sales for Apple’s $3,500 face computer have been tepid at best hasn’t stopped competitors from conjuring up their own lookalikes. That includes Samsung and its upcoming Project Moohan headset running Android XR, and now, an almost laughably close lookalike out of China from smartphone maker Vivo. If Project Moohan takes

The Best Gaming Headsets for Xbox, PS5, and PC (2025)

Microphones are common on most headphones and earbuds, but on gaming-specific headsets you're more likely to find boom mics sticking out from one of the ears. These tend to provide better audio quality, as well as a few other features you may want to consider when buying a new headset. The first is a visual indicator for whether your mic is muted. I know that sounds a little funny, but it serves a dual purpose of letting you know that you're being heard when you're talking, and also ensuring yo
