I Found 22 Early Prime Day Deals That Are Worth Shopping Now
We've trawled the depths of Amazon to find the best deals on gear we've tested. Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner. This year the deals officially kick off June 23 and ru through midnight Friday, June 26, but there are already some good early deals going on.

Realms for Integrated Agent Intelligence
AI agents today are mostly siloed -- they either retrieve and reason over vast amount of digital information and knowledge obtained online; or interact with the physical world through embodied perception, planning and action -- but rarely both. This separation limits their ability to solve tasks that require integrated physical and digital intelligence, such as cooking from online recipes, navigating with dynamic map data, or interpreting real-world landmarks using web knowledge. We introduce EMBODIEDWEBAGENTS, a novel paradigm for AI agents that fluidly bridge embodiment and web-scale reasoning.
Exclusive: Get Bruvi's Pod Coffee Maker for Nearly Half Off

The one to beat, and no competition has come close to taking the crown. It's what I use when I'm not testing a new coffee maker for research.
24 Best Father's Day Gifts for Dads (2026)
Dads are traditionally tough to shop for--let me help with these handpicked gift ideas for fathers with great taste. The only Father's Day gift I can recall my own dad getting was a plate of fried sardines. It was prepared by my mother, his ex-wife, who knew how gratefully he'd receive a dish he grew up with in the Italian neighborhood of a steel town dying with such theatrical flair that Bruce Springsteen named a song after it. We lived in a nearby city that had plenty of red-sauce restaurants, but they weren't serving tinned fish in those days. As my father had only the most limited of food preparation skills and didn't date the kind of women who could cook, this was the only way he'd ever taste that flavor again. As Father's Day gifts go, being united with a long-lost recipe from childhood is pretty good.

Why does Amazon have no Western rivals?
Why does Amazon have no Western rivals? Vitamins, repair tape and a jar of mango chutney - just some of what my household bought last month via Amazon's sprawling online shopping platform. We also shopped at the company's supermarket chain Whole Foods, streamed its TV shows, read books on Kindle e-readers, and browsed countless websites no doubt powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), its highly profitable cloud-computing business. And that isn't half of the interconnected products and services offered by the global behemoth, which earlier this year overtook US superstore giant Walmart to become the world's largest company by annual sales. But why does Amazon, launched by Jeff Bezos in 1995 as an online bookstore out of a rented garage, have so few serious rivals in the West when it comes to e-commerce?
