I started out covering tech policy in Washington, D.C. for The National Journal's Technology Daily, where my beat included state-level tech news and all the congressional hearings and FCC meetings I could handle. After a move to New York City, I covered Wall Street trading tech at Incisive Media before switching gears to consumer tech and PCMag. I now lead PCMag's news coverage and manage our how-to content.

Did you think Amazon was done with shopping events for the year? Not a chance.

The e-commerce giant is holding a Prime Early Access Sale on Oct. 11-12, but the deals are already rolling in on top-rated devices in every category we test.

Sony's true wireless WF-1000XM4 earphones pair excellent audio performance with class-leading active noise cancellation. They were the first pair of true wireless earphones we've tested to edge out the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds in most scenarios, making them the best noise-cancelling pair you can buy, and a PCMag Editors' Choice winner. Ahead of Prime Day, they're $32 off.
