  • Being Poor Is Too ExpensiveSome think that being poor is simple. You don’t have enough money to buy a lot of stuff, so you’re forced to buy less stuff. But that’s not really how it works. When you’re broke, you can’t do all the little things that will improve your budget over the long run. It actually costs more to be poor.
  • How First Impressions Work (and How to Use Them Effectively)Google's interview process is legendary for several reasons, but they're not alone in taking hours to get to know their applicants. Despite a trend towards longer interviews, most people make up their minds after a few seconds. Here's why.
  • Samsung announces its first 4K laptop, the ATIV Book 9 ProIt may have taken longer than you'd expect from a company that produces screens seemingly in every size, but Samsung has finally announced its first laptop with a 4K display. The ATIV Book 9 Pro is Samsung's latest addition to its ATIV line of high-end laptops. With a 15.6-inch, 3840 x 2160 touchscreen display and what Samsung is calling "real time HDR enhancements" which sounds like fancy talk for decent brightness and contrast optimization, the ATIV Book 9 Pro may indeed have the best display Samsung has ever put in a laptop.
  • Hands-on: the Pixel C is a great Android tablet that costs a great deal of money (edtiorial note: we HIGHLY disagree with the statement in this headline)The big surprise at today's Google announcement was the Pixel C, an Android tablet developed by the team behind the Pixel Chromebooks. The Chromebook Pixels have powerhouses of speed and wonders of design — and they definitely had the prices to match those outsized ambitions. The same thing applies to the Pixel C. It starts at $499, but you're also going to want to pony up for the keyboard, which costs $149. That's pretty-good laptop territory, so does the Pixel C actually compete with a pretty-good laptop?
  • Evernote on iOS Now Lets You Sketch or Hand Write in NotesiPhone/iPad: Ever wish you could just make a quick sketch or handwritten note in Evernote? Your wish has come true today, at least on iOS.
  • Video Games Can Help You Endure Pain, Even In LaborPain relief isn’t just a physical thing; distracting yourself can help you get through a painful experience. We’ve already seen that kids who watch cartoons don’t feel as much pain when they get a shot. It turns out that playing a game works even better than passively watching videos.
