The Semiconductor Market: Worst Downturn In A Decade
If all you noticed was the big news that came out of Computex Taipei in May, the PC market seems to be doing great: DRAM prices have fallen, and new 7nm CPUs from AMD and 10nm CPUs from Intel are poised to deliver further gains. But under the hood, the semiconductor firms have taken a collective beating.

Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge: Beautiful And Pricey
Much has changed since Bowers & Wilkins released the iconic Zeppelin Wireless speaker in 2015—most notably, the company has come under new ownership. With its new Formation line of wireless speakers, B&W is still on top of its game. At $899.99, the Formation Wedge is even more expensive than the $700 Zeppelin was at launch. But like the Zeppelin, it pushes boundaries in the style department while putting out powerful, room-filling audio with some serious bass presence and excellent high-frequency clarity. Whether it’s worth the sky-high price, however, depends on how much you’re willing to pay for innovative design.

Rage 2 (For PC): Great Action, Mediocre Story
The neon-soaked post-apocalypse is upon us. Rage 2, the first-person, open-world shooter by Avalanche Studios and Id Software, is a PC game that delivers over-the-top action, killer car combat, and neat retro 1980s flair. That said, the game suffers from a barren open world, an abundance of tedious missions, a simplistic story, and a forgettable cast of characters. While gameplay is certainly king when it comes to video games, Rage 2 could have been so much more compelling with an interesting story and a tighter open world.

The first 5G phones just hit the market in the US. As tech geeks, we’re pretty charged up about the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, the LG V50, and the Moto Z3 and Z4 with their 5G mods. But should you, an average consumer, buy a 5G phone now? No.
