Everything you need to know about Amazon Prime Day 2017

If you're a person who's obsessed with getting a good deal, you probably already know what's happening tomorrow. If not, allow me to give you the good news: it's Amazon Prime Day Eve. That means tomorrow, July 11, thousands of products will go on sale on Amazon. Sound overwhelming? Don't worry, I'm about to break it down.


What is Prime Day?

Prime Day is essentially Amazon's second Black Friday on which the retailer offers thousands of deals on products ranging from Dustbusters to TVs to crop tops to spatulas. It all starts today, July 10 at 6 p.m. PST (that's 9 p.m. for East Coasters), and goes for 30 hours. A fresh wave of deals hits every five minutes, which means there are tons of bargains in the proverbial hopper. Yes, you must be a member of Amazon Prime ($10.99 monthly or $100 for the year) to take advantage of the deals. Sign up here, if you are not a member. We'll be highlighting the very best deals throughout the day in our Facebook group, but you can also wade through all the deals yourself on Amazon's Prime Day page.

What can I get on Prime Day?

As far as specific products go, the public won't know what's going on sale until the deal goes live. What we do know: (1) no major shopping category is ignored and (2) Amazon is going to be pushing some major deals on their own products and offerings, including Kindle, Amazon Music Unlimited, and Audible. A few divulge-able details:


  • Prime Pantry is offering up to 35 percent off with coupons, which means deals on house wares like pet supplies, paper towels, and snacks.

  • Select movies will be available for $4.99 or less, including favorites like It, The Goonies, and Goodfellas.

  • The Audible subscription service will be available for $8.95 for the first six months instead of $14.95. The audio book purveyor has over 180,000 titles.

  • Four months of Amazon's Music Unlimited is 99 cents. That's a decent deal, especially when comparing to Apple Music or Spotify, which will cost you $10 to $15 a month.

  • Amazon if offering discounts on their Kindle Unlimited subscriptions for 6-, 12-, and 24-month subscriptions ($45, $80, and $144). These discounts will give you access to more than a million books that you can take anywhere.

Japan Fires The World's Most Powerful Laser

Image
Researchers at Osaka University are claiming to have fired the most powerful laser in the world. The 2-petawatt (two quadrillion watt) pulse lasted just one picosecond (a trillionth of a second). For a rough comparison, in 2013, a 50 kilowatt (50,000 watt) laser shot down a drone two kilometers away. Osaka's mega-powerful laser is called LFEX, or Laser for Fast Ignition Experiments, and measures more than 300 feet long. While two petawatts is a formidable amount of power, the idea of a petawatt laser isn’t new. The United States has a few of their own, notably a one-petawatt laser at the University of Texas at Austin. Michael Donovan, associate director for the Texas Petawatt, says that it’s important to remember when talking about lasers of this size that, while the power output is immense, the energy used is actually very little. “The energy of the Texas Petawatt, 150 to 200 Joules, is about that in a cup of coffee or a very hard tennis serve,” Donovan ...

Inside The Hunt For Dark Matter

“Turn here. Take the dirt road on the right. You’ve got to see this.” I park my rental car, and Rick Gaitskell directs me to a makeshift wooden observation deck overlooking the Trojan mine in Lead, South Dakota, just a mile down the road from his home. In the thickening twilight, we watch a phalanx of Caterpillar earth­movers scooping up and carting away chunks of a mountain, creating a large terraced pit. Nearby, a flat-crested ridge rises where the trucks have recently piled up rock from an earlier dig. Their piercing headlights mirror the glow of Venus, hovering just above the horizon. “It’s incredible,” Gaitskell says. “There’s no stopping it. They are literally moving mountains in search of gold.” I try to read his expression in the dim light. At first, I assume he is expressing camaraderie with the diggers at the Trojan site. Technically speaking, he is a physics professor at Brown University, but it isn’t much of a stretch to say that he is also a fellow prospector. Gaitsk...
