King-Size Bed Dimensions: Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Larger Bed

The more we start to understand about our sleep, the more we realize how vital it is to our physical and mental health. In some cases, it can even prematurely age our brains and shorten our lives. But getting a good night's sleep isn't easy if your bed isn't up to the job, and that's why choosing a big, comfy one is always a good idea. Don't just take our word for it, though. A recent CNET survey found that six in 10 US adults would consider investing money to get better sleep, with 46% leaning

Archaeologists Unearth Viking-Era Burial With Incredibly Rare Casket

Archaeologists from Denmark’s Moesgaard Museum have uncovered 30 Viking Age graves dating from 800 to 1050 CE, just under five miles north of Aarhus. Located near the town of Lisbjerg, the burial site has yielded a number of spectacular objects hinting at ties with Danish royalty. “The burial site is most likely connected to the Viking-era manor in Lisbjerg, which is less than a kilometer from the burial site,” Mads Ravn, an archaeologist from Moesgaard and Viking Age expert, explained in the M

Garmin’s new sleep tracker offers a week of battery life

Sleep tracking is nothing new in Garmin’s fitness watches, but the company’s latest wearable is a dedicated smart sleep band. The Index Sleep Monitor offers week-long battery life with continuous pulse ox tracking for monitoring your blood oxygen saturation while you sleep.

What Apple's controversial research paper really tells us about LLMs

CHRISTOPH BURGSTEDT/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Getty Generative AI models quickly proved they were capable of performing technical tasks well. Adding reasoning capabilities to the models unlocked unforeseen capabilities, enabling the models to think through more complex questions and produce better-quality, more accurate responses -- or so we thought. Last week, Apple released a research report called "The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Models via the

Microsoft study finds "infinite workday" is hurting productivity

In brief: Remember during and immediately after the lockdowns, when so many companies promised a new era of work-life balance and flexibility? According to new research from Microsoft, the opposite is now true, with most people working an "infinite workday" that lasts more than 12 hours and bleeds into weekends. It's impacting productivity, and while AI could make things better, it could also make them worse. Microsoft's June 2025 Work Trend Index Special Report warns that more people are now t

King-Size Bed Dimensions: How to Sleep Like a King in Your Own Bedroom

It is no secret how valuable sleep is to our wellbeing. Not getting enough sleep can affect our mental health, prematurely age our brains and even affect how long we live. Part of getting the right amount of sleep is having the right mattress. Before you can buy your next bed, you need to know the right mattress size for your room. A king bed gives a ton of space for sleep and makes room for sleeping partners, but it also demands a lot of space in your bedroom. If you're thinking about buying

This decade-old LG phone sparked my love for photography — then it died

It was a balmy September evening in 2016, and my friends and I thought it the perfect evening for a night-time hike up Cape Town’s popular Lion’s Head. Placed right in the city’s center, the panoramic views from the peak would no doubt be spectacular, and we had our bags packed full of liquid nourishment for when we reached the top. Two hours later, we got to the summit, and with the city’s sprawling lights glimmering through the still air below us, I spied the perfect photo opportunity. So, I g

Metal Detectorist Discovers Rare Boat Grave Containing Viking Woman and Her Dog

The saying goes that a dog is a man’s best friend, but an archaeological excavation in Norway proves that women care about their four-legged companions just as much as men do, even 1,100 years ago. Archaeologists from the Arctic University Museum of Norway have revealed a 10th-century Viking boat grave on the Norwegian island of Senja. The buried individual is likely a woman who belonged to an elite class, as Science Norway first reported. Most notably, the team found a dog carefully buried at

I convinced HP's board to buy Palm and watched them kill it

I've never shared this story publicly before—how I convinced HP's board to acquire Palm for $1.2 billion, then watched as they destroyed it while I was confined to bed recovering from surgery.

Don't Skip the Benefits of Walking. A Personal Trainer Explains How to Boost Effects

The weather is warmer, and it's the perfect time to get outside and move your body. I'm not talking about going for a run. Trends like the "hot girl walk" have illuminated just how beneficial simply walking can be for your health. Depending on your speed, walking may not immediately trigger a workout on your fitness tracker, like jogging or climbing the stairs would. But that doesn't mean it's not exercise. A recent study in the journal Heart found that brisk walks were associated with a lower

Best Packing Cubes for Every Kind of Trip (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Other Packing Cubes We Tried GoRuck Packing Cube for $25 (for 1, 10L flat): I loved the 15 x 10 x 3-inch size I tested of this rugged, 200-denier nylon cube with a mesh front. It fit almost anything I needed for any occasion, with a convenient carry handle and signature GoRuck American flag patch on the front.

AirTag 2 Rumors: The Most Recent Leaks and What They Mean

It's been more than four years since Apple launched the original AirTag. In Apple years, that's practically a lifetime.

Chime almost died in 2016, turned down by 100 VCs — today it IPO’d at $14.5B

One of the year’s most anticipated IPOs took place on Thursday when neobank Chime raised $864 million in its IPO, pricing its shares at $27, which is above its previously announced range of $24 to $26.

Apple explains Siri delays, teases more new features are coming

During its WWDC keynote, Apple addressed one big elephant in the room: Siri’s delayed features that were announced last year but never shipped. And now in a new interview, Siri’s recently-appointed boss Craig Federighi has explained more of the reasoning behind the delay, and teased even more new features are coming. Craig Federighi promises Apple will ship every Siri feature previously announced ‘and more’ Craig Federighi is Apple’s software chief, and as such tends to get a lot of PR time du

iOS 26 gives Wallet’s most neglected feature the fix it always needed

This is shaping up to be a big year for the Wallet app, with upgrades coming to car keys, boarding passes, and passports.

Wallet’s order tracking gets AI upgrade in iOS 26 I suspect the Wallet app may elicit complicated feelings from the team responsible for its development inside Apple. Why?
