Deluxe Paint on the Commodore Amiga

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a “killer app,” that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it. I can personally attest to Deluxe Paint as it compelled even my tec

Lewis and Clark marked their trail with laxatives

Audio version is not yet available By Finn J.D. John January 26, 2025 AS LEWIS AND CLARK’S Corps of Discovery made its way across the continent to Oregon, the men (and woman) of the party probably weren’t thinking much about their place in history. So they weren’t taking any particular pains to document their every movement. There were, however, some particular pains they were experiencing with every movement, so to speak ... as a result of a relentlessly low-fiber diet: Everyone was constip

Ride1Up TrailRush Electric Mountain Bike Review: Quality Components, Bargain Price

Buying a direct-to-consumer bike can be almost as big a gamble as investing in cryptocurrency. While a customer is not likely to lose their shirt investing in a new electric bike, buying a poorly made one may result in a serious crash or catch the garage on fire. For these reasons and more, it’s wise to do some research before clicking on the Add to Cart button. The highest-end legacy-brand e-MTBs retail for upwards of $14,000. So what do you get for $2,095, the price of Ride1Up’s first-ever el

Best Electric Toothbrushes You Can Buy in 2025, Tested by Experts

CNET/Caroline Igo The electric toothbrushes in this section weren't my favorites, but they have some qualities worth mentioning. One of these might be the right choice for you, so we felt it was worthwhile to include them. Oral-B iO2 Since I love the Oral-B iO Series 5 so much (it’s been my main toothbrush for over two years now), I was sent the new Oral-B iO2 electric toothbrush to test. It has the same brushing power and feel as the Series 5. It has three cleaning modes, a pressure sensor a

Airbrush art of the 80s (2015)

The 80’s was a decade of many things — excess, greed, and big hair, to name a few — but it was also the heyday for airbrush art. As a teenager in the late 80’s, I desperately wanted an airbrush so I could paint my favorite band logos on the back of my jean jacket, and maybe make some money on the side painting t-shirts and license plates. I thought those guys on the boardwalk selling custom shirts were gods — how could they produce such amazing works of art in just minutes? My graduation gift f

Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x Review: Great, Not a Must-Have

Each attachment is embedded with RFID chips that auto-adjust heat and airflow based on your last-used settings. Not a revolutionary change, but it is nice not to have to toggle settings every time I switch attachments. You can also pair it with Dyson's app, which offers tutorials based on your hair type and goals. Dyson also moved the fan and heat controls to the base of the handle. It’s a cleaner look, but it can get finicky if you’re used to adjusting settings mid-styling. If you’ve already p

5 Best Electric Toothbrushes, Backed by Dentists and Hygienists

What About U-Shaped Toothbrushes? There are many U-shaped toothbrushes available now that use a mouthpiece full of bristles to brush one section of teeth—or sometimes the entire mouth—all at once in around 30 seconds. We've tried a few and think they're fine to use in addition to regular brushing. None of them are as effective as standard electric toothbrushes. Bill Busch of North Kansas City Dental and Joseph Salim, owner of Sutton Place Dental Associates, agree that these aren't replacements.

Titan sub implosion caused by absolutely bonkers “toxic workplace environment”

In a 300-plus page final report released today, the US Coast Guard analyzed the 2023 Titan sub implosion from every conceivable angle and came to a clear conclusion: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush was a dangerous and deeply unpleasant boss. His company used "intimidation tactics" to sidestep regulatory scrutiny, it was a "toxic" workplace, and its safety culture was "critically flawed." The Titan itself was "undocumented, unregistered, non-certificated, [and] unclassed." As for Rush, he managed to

US Coast Guard Report on Titan Submersible Implosion Singles Out OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush

The US Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation has issued a scathing report on the implosion of the Titan submersible in 2023, singling out OceanGate’s CEO and founder Stockton Rush for many of the company’s technical and managerial failings. It says that he made “sustained efforts to misrepresent the Titan as indestructible” and accuses the company of “glaring disparities between their written safety protocols and their actual practices.” Jason Neubauer, who was the deputy chief of the Coa

Man Spends 6 Days in the Hospital After Toothbrushing Session Goes Terribly Wrong

Here’s another thing to add to the list of highly unlikely but deeply horrifying injuries you could sustain in the safety of your own home. A recent case report detailed a 50-year-old man who fainted while brushing his teeth and ended up hospitalized as a result. Doctors at The University of Tokyo Hospital described the unusual incident earlier this month in BMJ Case Reports. After fainting, the man’s toothbrush scraped the back of his throat severely enough to trap air inside, raising the risk

This $50 Electric Toothbrush Replaced My Stolen $200 One Without a Hitch

CNET's key takeaways The $50 Oral-B Pro 1000 Electric Toothbrush works just as well as my previous $200 toothbrush. The Pro 1000 has three modes, a 2-minute brushing timer and a pressure sensor. Though it doesn't come with an app or more smart features, I enjoy its simplicity. The last time I visited a friend in San Francisco, a thief broke into their car and stole my luggage. Inside it, I had my precious $200 electric toothbrush, which I'd reviewed at a previous job and didn't have to pay f

Maxon puts the Forger sculpting app for iPad on life support

The 9 Best Dyson Vacuums (2025), Tested and Reviewed

What About the PencilVac? Courtesy of Dyson The new Dyson PencilVac promises to be Dyson's slimmest vacuum yet, but it won't be available in the US until sometime in 2026. It launches today in Japan and next week in Korea, but pricing is still to be confirmed. It won't just be Dyson's slimmest vacuum, but also the first vacuum with a conical brush bar cleaner head. It's impressively small, its handle barely reaching 1.5 inches in diameter, with a slim vacuum head below it. Inside that tiny ha

Cheaper Than Dyson, This Shark Hair Dryer and Styler Hits a New Low for Early Prime Day

Dyson has been a familiar name for years with its prestige dryers and stylers, but the monopoly doesn’t exist anymore. In America, Shark has also made an appearance as a strong contender with a product that looks like the Dyson in both form and function but costs a fraction of the price. With Amazon’s first Prime Day sale, the Shark HD430 air styling and drying system can now be obtained for just $249, down from its usual $350. That is a 29% discount, which is approximately half of Dyson’s coun

3 Best Thermal Brush, Tested and Reviewed by WIRED (2025)

You've seen thermal brushes before, maybe touted as a blow-out brush or an infrared brush. The best thermal brush for you will recreate a blow-out type of look on your dry hair—different than a blow-dry brush, which is designed for wet hair but has a similar look. It reminds me of how I would use a curler in my youth to straighten while adding a little body to the roots and a little curl to the ends. If that's your preferred hairstyle too, then these are the devices for you. Thermal brushes use
