Our favorite SSD for most people is available today at its cheapest price for a whole lot of capacity. The 1TB Samsung 860 Evo SSD is $148 at AmazonRemove non-product link right now. The last time we looked at this drive it was on sale for $199, so if you've been waiting for the best possible deal, now's the time to act. Of course, we don't know what Black Friday will bring, but it's hard to go wrong with $148 for 1TB of awesome SSD storage. The reason we like the Samsung 860 Evo so much is that it's a perfect mix of price and performance.

Most retailers are stuck in the past, using obsolete forecasting systems to make decisions. But the models of ten years ago won't get the job done today. If you want success in today's highly competitive retail market, you'll need to utilize the benefits of big data and machine learning. The problem is that most retailers aren't technically savvy enough to build these systems on their own. That's where Evo comes in.

Contrary to popular belief, video games might actually be beneficial for mental health. A joint study by the University of Washington and the University of California San Francisco found that people responded better to treatment through a mobile game than to traditional in-person therapy. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Depression and Anxiety, focused on adults over 60 who had been diagnosed with late onset depression, a specific form categorized by an inability to focus due to overwhelming worry. Half the group received the mobile technology treatment, called Project: EVO, while the other half received an in-person treatment known as problem-solving therapy. The participants who used Project: EVO reported improved moods and increased attention span and ability to function.

Playtime meets programming tool in Ozobot's Evo, "the smart and social robot toy." Well, let's not get too carried away. Evo responds to programming, but that doesn't exactly make it smart. I'm not sure a bunch of flashing lights, beeps, and whirrs qualify as social, but I suppose I've seen worse on Facebook. The $99 Evo is the second robot from Ozobot, and like its predecessor, Bit, it's a golfball-sized gizmo that trudges around the floor or table, responding to commands.

When his daughters were young, Nader Hamda says, they were really into apps and computers. But now that they're a little older, their interest is waning. "They're not an exception," he says. According to numerous studies, young girls are moving away from computer science, not towards it. And Hamda says this is why his company, Ozobot, is now offering an educational robot called Evo.

Ozobot's Bit impressed us a few years ago with its simply take on programming education: kids just need to draw lines on a piece of paper or mobile device to program the tiny robot. As they get more comfortable, they can start to program on mobile devices and computers. Now Ozobot is taking a major step forward with the 100 Evo, a new robot that has sensors to interact with its environment, lights, a speaker and social capabilities. While Ozobot's previous devices were aimed directly at kids, it's hoping that Evo can break through to high schoolers and even college students, according to founder and CEO Nader Hamda. The new bot has a shot of appealing to older students simply because it can do a lot more than before.
