My quest to find the best air quality monitors, both outdoors and indoors

September 15, 2020 by Danny Sullivan

With wildfire smoke causing so much unhealthful air, I found myself wanting my own air quality monitors.

I wanted an indoors one to better understand what the air quality was like in our […]

When I retired from search journalism in June, I had no idea what I would be doing next. I just knew I was ready for a break and something different from what I had been doing for so long. That something different has arrived: I’m joining Google as of Monday. My title is still being […]

Star Wars Is Out In Digital HD — How To Make The Right Choice On Where To Buy

April 10, 2015 by Danny Sullivan

Finally, you can buy the Star Wars films in digital format — digital streaming, that is. Technically, we’ve had Star Wars in digital format via DVD and Blu-ray for ages.

My Fall Of The Berlin Wall Story

November 8, 2014 by Danny Sullivan

Growing up as a Cold War kid in the 1970s, I was fascinated by Berlin. I’d read of the airlift, the city being divided then the construction of the Berlin Wall. I always wanted to visit the city. Little did I realize in the year that I did, the wall would actually come down. In […]

Minecraft & Learning To Love The Digital Sandbox For Your Kids

September 16, 2014 by Danny Sullivan

When I was a kid, I used to spend hours playing in a little dirt patch in our backyard. I’d build cities with roads for my toy cars, rivers for boats, you name it. My kids do the same thing today. They just do it digitally, through Minecraft. My children have been Minecraft fanatics since […]

Quick — how much does it cost to subscribe to the New York Times? The answer is that to figure out what’s the best option for you likely involves firing up a spreadsheet, given the lack of transparency in how the New York Times prices things. The New York Times is hardly the only publisher […]

Skip The Drink Ticket, Southwest Airlines: Give Me A Wifi Pass & Other Wifi Improvements

July 24, 2013 by Danny Sullivan

Hey Southwest Airlines, can we talk about your wifi? Back when I was A-List Premier, I got it for free, so I had little reason to complain. I just missed making that status this year, so I’m paying $8 a go and, well, now I’m more demanding. Some thoughts: Remember My Info I don’t want […]

February 11, 2013 by Danny Sullivan

I love infographics. I used to do infographics. So here’s an infographic I made as a little reminder to those who do infographics that taller is not better. Enough said. Apologies to Apple, where I borrowed the MacBook Pro image. MacBook Pros are great, by the way.

Why CBS Should Keep Its Business Out Of CNET’s Business

January 17, 2013 by Danny Sullivan

I find it hard to believe that anyone from the CBS Corporation would try to dictate what CBS News could and couldn’t cover because of CBS business issues. Trying to interfere with broadcast news like that is fodder for movies and TV shows like “Broadcast News” and “The Newsroom.” It’s no more acceptable to think CBS would interfere with […]
