New York Times Does Web Site Makeover

The New York Times yesterday became the latest newspaper to redesign their Web site as the venerable publication announced what it was calling a “major” overhaul. The overall themes of this redesign were improved navigation, a cleaner look and new personalization options.

The New York Times Web site, which joins the Wall Street Journal who also recently redesigned their site, includes several new sections. These sections are “My Times” (provides readers the ability to create personalized pages via RSS feeds, “Video” (more original Times video reporting and also enable readers to search and view archived video content), “Today’s Paper” (organizes and groups headlines by section of the current day’s newspaper), “Most Popular” (highlights articles most emailed by users and most linked to by bloggers as well as listing more frequently searched keywords) and “Times Topics” (thousands of specific pages which collect recent news, archives and multimedia reference material on people, places, organizations and subjects).

The New York Times also added they’ve redesigned the home page to reportedly provide a cleaner, easier to read look with simplified navigation tools as well as adding a new navigation toolbar located at the top of section fronts and article pages for easier searching.

“The redesign of NYTimes.com significantly advances our place on the Web,” said Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., publisher of The New York Times, in a statement. “We’re taking advantage of new technology to make the site more useful and easier to navigate. Times readers will now have an enhanced site with even greater access to high-quality journalism provided in a way that they can customize to their needs.”

Amazon opened its first Go store in New York City this week, though this one is a little different from the others as it’s the first to accept cash.

The usual Amazon Go experience lets you “grab and go” without needing to wait in line to pay at checkout. It’s made possible by the store’s array of cameras and sensors that cleverly track what you put in your bag, with the cost of your shopping automatically charged to your Amazon account when you walk out of the store.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra share a lot of similarities -- the least of which is their brand name. Along with the capacity to vacuum and mop in a single cleaning cycle, the two robots can automatically empty their dustbins and clean their dirty mops once the cycle is complete. That alone makes them two of the best robot vacuums on the market.

But while there are plenty of similarities between the S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Pro Ultra, there are a few key differences that could make one better for your home than the other. From pricing and vacuuming power to navigational skills and more, here's a comprehensive look at the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra.
