The Europas — It’s time for a different type of tech conference

Review: HTC 10 is solid, but consumers need to be convinced
The HTC 10 is no afterthought: It’s a well-engineered smartphone, with all the specs and capabilities of a true flagship, flavored in a style reminiscent of the brand.

Review: Brilliant Bicycle, A Bike That Thinks Outside The Box
When my Brilliant Bicycle arrived in the mail last week, I had a minor epiphany: I’ve never actually purchased a bike on my own before. When I was young my parents chose my bike, and though I spent a few months on a borrowed bike in Europe, I have very little knowledge when it comes to making bike-based purchasing decisions.
