  7. 23andMe DNA Test - Health + Ancestry, $99 (originally $199) [You save $100] 23andMe reliably offers this 50% off deal every year, but that doesn't make it any less valuable. You can learn about your unique genes and ancestry from the comfort of your own home. 
  8. Sony WH1000XM3 Noise Cancelling Headphones, $278 (originally $350) [You save $72] One of our favorite pairs of noise-cancelling headphones is at its best price ever.

  9. Jabra Elite 65T Earbuds, $100 (originally $170) [You save $70] These truly wireless earbuds have experienced many price fluctuations over the year, and now the price is at an all-time low. If you're not into the look or expensive cost of AirPods, get these light yet powerful Jabra earbuds instead. 
  10. Fitbit Versa 2, $149 (originally $200) [You save $51] Don't miss out on the best price for the 24/7 heart-rate monitoring fitness tracker. You can choose from a few different colors — just make sure it's not one of the special edition versions, which cost $30 more.

Dell XPS 15 2019

  • You can change your Windows 10 login screen through your device's Settings app, and make it display any photo you like.
  • You can choose a photo, a set of photos for a slideshow, or let Windows pick a stock photo.  
  • To enable this feature, you must allow Windows to show the lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The login screen is the first thing you see each time you start your Windows 10 computer, so you may want to customize it.

You can set it to show a picture from your photo library, a stock photo selected by Windows, or choose a set of photos to use as a slideshow.

There's only one caveat: In order to customize the Windows 10 login screen, you need to make it the same as the lock screen. You can't configure them separately. This means, however, that if you're looking to change the sign-in screen, you can just follow the same directions.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

Windows 10 (From 134.99 at Best Buy)

Lenovo IdeaPad (From 299.99 at Best Buy)

How to change the Windows 10 login screen

1. Click the Start button and then click the Settings icon (which looks like a gear).

login 1

2. Click "Personalization."

3. On the left side of the Personalization window, click "Lock screen."

4. In the Background section, choose the kind of background you want to see. You can choose Windows Spotlight (Windows will choose a stock photo), Picture (you choose a photo from your photo library), or Slideshow (you choose a folder that contains the photos you want to see rotate through the login screen).

5. Turn on "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen" by sliding its button to the right.

Billionaire Spanx founder Sara Blakely has a simple piece of advice for single women dreading the marriage question at Thanksgiving: Be the CEO your parents want you to marry

sara blakely thanksgiving

Many people dread reuniting with their extended family over the Thanksgiving dinner table, but perhaps no one more than single women.

Worse than arguments over politics or overcooked turkey, those women will have to endure endless questions about when they plan to get married and start families. Billionaire Spanx founder Sara Blakely faced "THAT question" for almost twenty straight Thanksgiving dinners, she wrote on LinkedIn on Monday.

For women in that position this year, Blakely has a simple piece of advice: "Be the CEO your parents always wanted you to marry!"

"I didn't get married until I was 37," the now 48-year-old billionaire wrote on LinkedIn. "I remember going out to eat alone A LOT in my 20s and 30s and getting looks from people who felt sorry for me. Well-meaning women used to say to me, 'it's ok honey... you'll meet a nice man someday...' It was rare that anyone ever encouraged me to stand on my own two feet and to have dreams for myself."

Instead of searching for a successful man to marry, Blakely got a full-time job selling fax machines for office-supply company Danka while operating her shapewear business as a side hustle. In 2000, she quit her day job to focus on Spanx full-time, Business Insider previously reported. Blakely ran her side business out of her Atlanta apartment and would often come home to boxes of Spanx stacked in front of her front door so high that she needed help from neighbors to move them. Blakely wrote that she was inspired to "be the CEO of my own life" by her mother and grandmothers, who never had the same opportunity.

"I eventually did get married to the best hubby Jesse Itzler but it was after I started Spanx built a global brand and became a CEO," Blakely wrote.

Clearly, things worked out for the entrepreneur. Blakely is ranked by Forbes as one of the richest self-made women in the country with a net worth of $1 billion.

The retail stores killed by the internet that people miss the most, according to Reddit users

arcade games

Online shopping has made it easier and faster than ever to make purchases that you used to be able to do only in brick-and-mortar stores, but there are aspects of the pre-internet retail industry that some people still miss.

A Reddit user recently posed a question in the sub-Reddit, r/AskReddit, about which stores and businesses users miss the most that have been "killed" by the internet. The question was met with thousands of responses from users, many of who were nostalgic about now-defunct stores they frequented in their childhood and brick-and-mortar retailers who closed because of dominating online competitors.

We picked out the top answers, based on the number of points — a combination of upvotes and downvotes by fellow reddit users — the store received. Take a look at the most popular answers from Reddit users about the stores they miss the most that have been put out of business by the advent of the internet era:

SEE ALSO: A high-school student built a Bluetooth speaker in the shape of a giant Apple AirPod — see the pictures

Hastings Entertainment — 4,700 points

Hastings may not be as well known as Blockbusters, but the retail chain offered video rentals, and also sold movies, video games, and other forms of entertainment. It filed for bankruptcy in 2016, and closed all of its stores that year.

"Hastings was THE spot for us small town kids to go hang out at on the weekends," one Reddit user said. "I had my first cigarette in a Hastings parking lot."



Hardware stores — 5,600 points

Independent hardware stores have been disappearing over the years, in favor of chains like Ace Hardware and Lowe's.

A Reddit user said they missed the knowledge of "the guy in the hardware store" who "actually knows what tool does what and can help you find the best fasteners and stuff."



Borders Books — 9,000 points

The bookstore chain Borders closed in 2011 after 40 years in business, even as Barnes & Nobles perseveres in the Amazon-dominated business.

"I used to hang out at my local one after school every day. Went to the release parties for four Harry Potter books too," one respondent wrote. "I remember the way it smelled, the way the coffee tasted, the comfortable spaces where you could sit and read. I miss that."



Vinyl record stores — 9,100 points

Although vinyl is making a small comeback thanks to hipsters, music streaming and digital downloads have made record stores all but obsolete.

"I could spend an hour in there," a Reddit user wrote of the once widespread record stores. "I loved looking at the new albums, the ones my mom wouldn't let me get yet because they had parental advisory, poring over the artwork."



Nature Company stores — 10,600 points

A personal favorite of this reporter, The Nature Company was full of educational toys, science experiments, and anything a curious kid might want. Discovery acquired The Nature Company back in 1996, and all its storefronts were closed by 2000.

"It was great, then one day it was just gone," Reddit user u/FightingBlaze77 said in a comment. "Wish it was still around today, so that it would still be cool to learn."



Used book stores — 11,400 points

Bookstores selling cheap used books are still around, but not nearly as abundant as they once were. Today, in-store book sales are on the decline as many turn to Amazon for digital copies and books delivered right to their doors.

"There was this hole in the wall used bookstore my dad used to take me to," a Reddit user said. "You'd walk in and when I tell you thousands of books, I mean it ... It was filled up to the ceiling and on all walls and tight aisles just full of books."



RadioShack — 14,100 points

RadioShack used to be the place to explore thousands of dollars of electronic toys and fancy items you would beg your parents to buy. But after filing for bankruptcy twice, RadioShack started to shutter its stores in 2017 after nearly 100 years in business.

"I used to always go in there with friends and look at all the remote control helicopters and the crazy TiVo devices and everything that I thought was so awesome," one Reddit user said. "It's so weird how those things were so revolutionary and now it's just like, 'Oh yeah you can get that at Walmart for $5.'"



Hobby shops — 19,000 points

Instead of arts-and-crafts chains like Michaels and Hobby Lobby, many Reddit users said they used to visit small-town hobby stores for model airplane parts and other collectors' items.

"I f---king loved hobby stores as a kid," one user wrote on the thread. "There was a specific smell to those places too. Some combination of all the boxes, old wooden flooring, it was kind of intoxicating."



Blockbuster — 19,000 points

Giant movie-rental chain Blockbuster predated the era of Netflix as the place to rent movies and videos. Sadly, Blockbuster stores started closing in 2013, although one still remains today in Bend, Oregon.

"For some reason, it was way more enjoyable to stroll along the store looking for rental possibilities than it is to browse movies on Netflix/Amazon," a Reddit user commented.



Toys R Us — 23,800 points

Toys R Us was the place for children's gifts and entertainment, until the company announced it was shutting all its stores' doors in 2018. The brand may be eyeing a revival, but that hasn't yet happened.

"12 year old me misses Toys R Us," Reddit user u/windyscarecrow wrote. "My son will more than likely never experience the joy of being let loose in a giant toy store."

 



Arcades — 31,000 points

While arcade games have seen a resurgence presence in bars, transforming them into adult playgrounds, arcades featuring Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Street Fighter no longer exist as a standard venue for children to spend hours feeding quarters into machines after school.

"My dad used to drop me off at a nickel arcade with 5 bucks," one Reddit user wrote. "I felt like a KING."

Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving, people across the United States devour feasts that typically consist of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and pie.

But Thanksgiving meals can also vary depending on where you live

To get a better picture of Americans' favorite side dish recipes in each state, Business Insider consulted Google. Looking at search data from the past four years, Google's researchers found the most uniquely highly searched recipe that people in every state (plus Washington DC) Googled during November.

The researchers didn't look at the most popular dish for every state (which would've been pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and apple pie in all 50). Instead, they focused on the most distinct, and then found the recipes with the highest search volume for each state.

Everlane will donate $10 to Oceana for every order placed on Black Friday to support sustainability

Everlane x Oceana Black Friday

  • Over the past five years, Everlane's Black Friday Fund has raised more than $800,000 to improve sustainability practices in its factories. 
  • This year, Everlane's Black Friday Fund is raising money for Oceana, an organization dedicated to restoring the world's oceans in the wake of climate change.
  • For every order placed on Black Friday, Everlane will donate $10 to Oceana's campaigns against single-use plastics. 

Everlane is primarily known for producing timeless wardrobe staples. However, the fashion brand is arguably as committed to sustainability as it is to style.

Each year, Everlane's Black Friday Fund contributes to improving sustainability efforts within the brand's factories. For 2019, the fund plans to expand beyond its factories. To do so, Everlane is donating $10 of each Black Friday order to Oceana in support of eliminating single-use plastics worldwide.

Oceana is an organization that works toward the global protection and restoration of oceans. With its Black Friday Fund, Everlane will donate up to $300,000, which would support Oceana's sustainability campaigns in three major voting markets. More specifically, these funds would be used to support policies focused on eliminating single-use plastics.

By the end of 2019, Everlane will likely have raised over $1 million through its Black Friday Fund. In the past, Everlane has used its funds for various projects — from building solar panels in China to implementing a wellness program for its Los Angeles factory workers. Other brands known for their focus on sustainability, such as REI and Patagonia, have taken a similar approach on Black Friday. 

Shop Everlane's women's and men's collections on Black Friday, and Everlane will donate $10 from each order to Oceana.

The mansion Tom Petty rebuilt after an arsonist tried to burn it down is back on the market for $5 million just a year after it sold — here's a look inside the sprawling Encino property

Tom Petty Home

A mansion once owned by the late musician Tom Petty has hit the market with an asking price of $4.995 million. 

The home is currently owned by Randy Spendlove, Paramount Pictures' head of Motion Picture Music, who, the Los Angeles Daily News reports, is selling the home due to a change in his "family dynamics."

Spendlove has owned the mansion for just a year. In 2015, the estate was foreclosed on by J.P. Morgan, then sold by the bank in 2017 for $2.575 million, the OC Register reports. Spendlove bought the home in October 2018.

The home was once owned by Petty, who died after suffering cardiac arrest in his Malibu home in 2017; his ex-wife Jane Benyo got the Encino, California, property in their 1996 divorce. Benyo then unsuccessfully tried to sell the home in 2013, a few years before it was foreclosed on. 

The six-bedroom, ten-bathroom home is listed by Jade Mills and Tiffany Mills with Coldwell Banker, as well as Craig Knizek with The Agency.

Here's a look inside the massive property.

Tom Petty's former home totals 11,483 square feet, with six bedrooms and ten bathrooms. The Los Angeles Daily News reports that it was rebuilt after an arsonist set fire to it in 1987 and burned down almost the entire home.

Petty and his family were eating breakfast when the arsonist doused the home's wooden staircase in flammable liquid and set it on fire. Petty, his then-wife, and their 5-year-old daughter were uninjured, but a housekeeper suffered minor burns.

Petty was the lead singer of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The band formed in 1976 and were, as Consequence of Sound reports, at the "forefront of the heartland rock movement." They are one of the best selling bands of all time, having sold more than 80 million records across the globe.

Petty married Jane Benyo in 1974, Bustle reports, and they had two children together. After Benyo and Petty divorced in 1996, Benyo was given the house. She tried unsuccessfully to sell the home in 2013.

In addition to having two kitchens, the home also has a wine storage area and a gym.

Roomba robot vacuums deals are rolling in for Black Friday — here are the best live deals to buy now

irobot roomba prime day deals

If you've been thinking about upgrading your old vacuum to a fancy new robot vac that can clean with the touch of a button or even a voice command, good news: There are a lot of iRobot Roombas on sale during Black Friday. 

Many retailers like Amazon, Target, and Walmart drop prices on Roombas throughout the year, but the savings aren't huge — Black Friday is when prices can drop a few hundred. There are also a ton of models in general, so we've focused this list on the Roombas worth buying at retailers with the best deals.

These are just the best early deals on Roombas that are currently live ahead of Black Friday. We expect to see more and bigger discounts as we get closer to Black Friday, especially on higher-tier models like the self-cleaning i7+ and i7 models, so we'll update this page as they come in. 

The 5 best deals on Roombas during Black Friday 2019:

1. iRobot Roomba 670, $229.99 at Walmart (originally $329.99); will be $197 starting November 27 at 10 p.m. ET at Walmart[You save at least $132]

If you're looking for an efficient Roomba under $200, we suggest waiting until Black Friday to save on the 670 model. The 670 is a slightly older entry-level robot vacuum but doesn't skimp on the features. It still has powerful suction with a three-stage cleaning process, multiple brush heads for various surfaces, and Wi-Fi, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant compatibility so you control it no matter where you are.

2. iRobot Roomba 675, $229.99 at Amazon (originally $269); will be $199.99 starting November 28 at Lowe's [You save at least $69]

The 675 is considered to be a newer version of the 670 with all the same features. It was as low as $170 earlier this year and is currently on sale at $299.99, but Lowe's will be dropping the price down to $199.99 on  November 28, so we suggest waiting on this one a bit too.

3. iRobot Roomba 690, $249.99 at Target (originally $349.99) [You save $100]

The 690 has all the perks of the 675 and 670 models, but the Dirt Detect technology is better so you'll get a superior clean, and barriers so you can indicate any no-go zones. Read our review of the Roomba 690 to see why it was the best overall robot vac in our buying guide. 

4. iRobot Roomba e5 5150, $279 at Amazon; $279.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, and Target (originally $374.99) [You save at least $95]

This is a solid deal on a mid-tier robot vac and is the brand's replacement for the 800 series models. It's five times more powerful than the 675 and 690 models and has a high-efficiency filter that gets 99% of dust, mold, and dog and cat allergens. 

5. iRobot Roomba 960, $449 at Amazon and Walmart; $449.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond and Target (originally $649.99) [You save at least $200]

This model has an even more advanced version of the Dirt Detect tech found in the 675 and 690, but with lots of extra features. It can be paired with the app to show you which areas of your space were cleaned, learns your floor plan to clean more efficiently every time, self-dock and recharge when it's low on battery, and even resume cleaning after charging. 

Note that these sale prices don't reflect additional savings you might get for having store credit cards with rewards, like Target's RedCard or Amazon's store card, or cash back, like Kohl's Cash. 

Is a Roomba worth buying? 

In a word: Yes.

Our reviewers who have tested different versions of Roombas all say that it's super convenient to run the robot vac while they're at work or just in another room of their house and know that dirt, dust, and all sorts of crumbs will get sucked up off their floors. Check out our reviews of the 980 and the top-of-the-line self-cleaning i7+ for more.

In fact, Insider Picks' VP of Commerce Breton Fischetti even goes as far as to say this: 

"The Roomba is the single best apartment purchase I've made in the last couple of years. I set it to run a few times a week while I am at work, and I love getting the app notification that it's finished cleaning. It makes me feel like I've done chores even though I haven't, and I'm always shocked by how much stuff it picks up.

You'd think running it frequently would mean that it would always be empty but the amount of general dust that accumulates every day is always surprising. My allergies are better because of it. If you have a pet, like my brother, it's even more impactful. He bought one after I showed him mine and loves it."

'What is Mail Drop on an iPhone?': How to use Mail Drop to email large files from your iPhone

$

iphone mail app notifications

  • Mail Drop is a program on your iPhone, Mac, and iPad that allows you to send large email attachments over iCloud, thus bypassing email size limits.
  • An individual message and its attachments can't exceed 5 GB in order to be sent via your iPhone's Mail Drop.
  • Mail Drop links remain functional for 30 days once they are sent, after which files must be re-sent.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Most email platforms have size limits that are, to put it simply, limiting. Gmail, AOL, and Yahoo won't let you send emails greater than 25 MB. With Outlook and Hotmail, you're limited to 10 MB.

The good news is that if you're using a relatively recent iPhone, running iOS 9.2 or later, to send that extra large email, Apple's Mail Drop service has you covered. 

Mail Drop, which transfers emails and attachments via iCloud, has a huge 5 GB capacity, so there are few files that won't make it through Mail Drop. And once you send a file, the recipient will have 30 days to open it before it expires.

However, there is a 1 TB storage limit — so if you manage to send enough files to hit that limit, you'll need to wait 30 days for files to expire before you can send more.

Here's how to use it on your iPhone.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPhone 11 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

How to use Mail Drop on your iPhone

To use Mail Drop, all you have to do is try to send an email that's too big through the default Mail app. 

A window will pop up that reads: "These attachments may be too large to send in email. Do you want to use Mail Drop to deliver these attachments using iCloud? They will be available for the next 30 days."

Tap "Use Mail Drop," and off the message goes to its intended recipient(s) thanks to the wonders of the cloud. 

IMG_6375

The message will arrive like normal, massive size notwithstanding.

The recipient will just have to click the Mail Drop link in the email they've received, and they'll have to be checking their email on "a Mac using OS X Yosemite or later, an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9.2 [or later], [or] a Mac or PC with an updated browser," which are the supported systems for Mail Drop, according to Apple

Black friday target deals 4x3

Alongside Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon, Target will be offering some of its best discounts of the year. Below, you'll find everything you need to know about Target's upcoming Black Friday deals, and you can find everything we know about its Cyber Monday deals here

Members of Target Circle (the company's free loyalty program) will get early access at 6 p.m. CT on November 27.

Target Black Friday FAQs:

When do Target's Black Friday deals start?

Target will again give RedCard holders early access to shop more than 100 deals all day on Wednesday, November 27. Members of Target Circle (the company's free loyalty program) will reportedly get early access at 6 p.m. CT on November 27. For everyone else, Target Black Friday deals became available on Thanksgiving morning. 

Target released its Black Friday ad on November 6, so we at least know some of what will be on sale.

Will Target be open on Thanksgiving?

Yes. Target will be open for an eight-hour shift from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day like it was last year. Doors close at 1 a.m. and re-open again at 7 a.m. on Friday, November 29. 

Does Target allow in-store pick-up?

Sometimes, but you may not want to count on it. There are certain items that will be eligible for in-store pickup, but not likely everything you'll want to buy.

What is Target's return policy?

For items purchased from November 1 through December 25, the 30-day return period will start on December 26. As usual, RedCard holders have a longer returns window. 

Is Target price-matching during Black Friday?

No. Target will price-match between its online and in-store prices, but not with competitors. 

However, Target will likely keep prices as close to competitors as possible, and most major retailers tend to adjust prices throughout the day to remain competitive. You just won't have 14 days to ask for a differential refund if you come across something lower. 

Will RedCard holders still get 5% off purchases at Target on Black Friday?

Yes. They'll also get early access to over 100 Black Friday deals on November 27.

Are there any ways to save even more at Target on Black Friday?

As mentioned, it certainly doesn't hurt to be a RedCard holder. They typically get early access to the deals, and they get an extra 5% off their purchases. You'll also get free shipping with no minimum. If you make purchases with a Target Debit Card, Credit Card, or Target Mastercard (all RedCards) you also get an additional 30 days to return a purchase. 

You can also get early access for free by joining Target Circle, the retailer's free loyalty program. 

The benefits may be slim in comparison, but it also doesn't hurt to download the Target app. Retailers with apps are known to push specific coupons or exclusive discounts to those with it downloaded already or to incentivize downloads. 

And while it pays to get early access to avoid sellouts, Target is offering incentives for shopping on Black Friday, too. Shoppers who spend $50 (in-store or online) on November 29 get a 20% off coupon to redeem online or in stores December 3 through December 14. 

In terms of strategy, the best plan is to have a plan. Make a wish-list of what you'd like to buy day-of by clicking the heart on a Target product. When Black Friday deals open to the public, shop your wish-list and don't get lost browsing. And prioritize whatever is most likely to sell out first.

If you're looking to save some money on big purchases or holiday gifts, Black Friday is the time to do it.

No retailer is above the fray; we're already tracking the best deals from AmazonWalmart, Target, Best BuyNordstromThe Home Depot, and more here.

If you're in need of a new mattress, Black Friday discounts of even 10% can save you a couple hundred dollars. Plus, you can expect plenty of perks like free shipping or free items with purchase.

The 5 best mattress deals of Black Friday 2019:

  1. The best hybrid mattress on sale: The Leesa Hybrid Mattress. Find a review here.
  2. The best all-foam mattress on sale:The Casper Mattress. Find a review here
  3. The best mattress for hot sleepers on sale:The Tempur Pedic BreezeFind a review here
  4. The best ultra-firm mattress on sale: The Brooklyn Bedding Plank Mattress. Find a review here
  5. The best mattress for side-sleepers on sale: A Helix mattress. Find a review here. 

Why these are the best mattress deals:

  1. The Leesa Hybrid (now $275 off) is the top overall mattress in the Insider Picks buying guide to the best mattresses. It has a medium firmness and a cloud-like softness thanks to its combination of memory foam and innersprings, and it successfully dissipated heat in our testing to keep a hot sleeper feeling cool. It's backed by a 10-year warranty and a 100-night-risk-free trial. Read a full Insider Picks review of the Leesa Hybrid here
  2. The Casper Mattress (now up to $119 off) has a firm feel that provides good support right to the edge and a zoned-support layer which provides specialized pressure relief to targeted body parts. We also found it to keep us reliably cool throughout the night. Casper offers a 100-night trial and a 10-year limited warranty. Insider Picks ranked it the best all-foam mattress you can buy, but the 10%-off discount is the typical one we see during major sales throughout the year, so we're hoping to see deeper discounts closer to Black Friday. If you want the best all-foam mattress, this is it. But, if you're willing to sacrifice a smidge of perfection for a deeper discount, check out the Tuft & Needle Mint Mattress (now $200 off). We like it too, and it's currently about $100 less than Casper's option.
  3. Tempur-Pedic's ProBreeze Mattress (now $200 0ff) is our pick for the best cooling mattress for hot sleepers. It's 12 inches thick and features a cooling cover, Purecool+ phase change material, a Tempur CM+ comfort layer, and the original Tempur material support layer. The medium and hybrid reportedly cool your sleeping environment up to three degrees and the luxe version up to eight degrees. It also passes motion-transfer tests. Tempur-Pedic typically offers a 90-night trial, free white glove delivery, and a 10-year warranty. 
  4. Brooklyn Bedding's Plank Mattress (now up to $312 off) is about as firm as it gets, and Insider Picks ranked it the best ultra-firm mattress you can buy. It has an extra firm bottom and a firm top side so you can flip the mattress over to achieve your optimal feel. Insider Picks reporter Owen Burke said that, after living in Taiwan where mattresses are thin and hard, it's the first truly-firm mattress he'd found in the Western Hemisphere. The company traditionally offers a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty.
  5. Helix Sleep (now up to $200 off, plus two free Dream pillows) offers more than a dozen mattresses customized specifically for particular sleep needs, so it's relatively easy to address your own. (The company has a Sleep Quiz to help you navigate the site). Insider Picks ranked Helix the best mattress for side sleepers overall, thanks in part to its less severe overall firmness than other options and a Dynamic Foam top layer that prevents you from sinking too far into the mattress and messing up your alignment. It can also personalize a mattress for two people if your partner has wildly different sleep preferences. Helix traditionally offers a 100-night sleep trial and at least a 10-year warranty.

Airpods Black Friday Deals 4x3

As one of the best-selling pair of earbuds in the world, Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro are guaranteed to be on many holiday wish lists this year. With the recent release of the upgraded active-noise-canceling Pro model, the AirPods lineup now has a pair for everyone, from the casual user to the techie who must have the latest and greatest. 

Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro are hardly ever discounted, but this Black Friday is the best time to pick up a pair for less. In fact, Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are all discounting several versions of AirPods and AirPods Pro with different charging cases. While you still won't find massive discounts on these earbuds anywhere online, these savings definitely beat paying full price. 

If you're looking for discounts on other Apple products, here are the best Black Friday deals on MacBooks and Apple Watches.

The 3 best Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro deals on Black Friday:

1. AirPods with wireless charging case, $164.99 (Originally $199.99) [You save $34.01]: available on AmazonBest Buy | Walmart

2. AirPods with standard charging case, available on Amazon, $134 (Originally $159) [You save $25] Also available on Best Buy and Walmart for $139.99

3. AirPods Pro, $234.98 (Originally $249) [You save $14.02]: available on Amazon

Why these are the best deals:

Apple products are generally never heavily discounted, and these sales are as good as it gets when it comes to the AirPods and AirPods Pro. We consider the AirPods with wireless charging case to be the best deal because it's the largest discount between the three deals, the price point is reasonable given the technology and quality, and it's readily available on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart

How to search for a specific word or phrase in a PDF on your Mac using the Preview app

$
0
0

macbook pro wwdc

  • To search a PDF on your Mac for a specific word or phrase, you just need to activate the search function. This only takes a single click or keyboard command.
  • You can search a PDF using Adobe Reader or Preview, but Preview is built into Mac computers, and it's easy to use for this purpose.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The PDF is one of the most universal formats for documents and images, on both Mac and PC

You can convert pictures and documents to PDFs so that they can be shared and opened looking exactly the same on any device or computer. 

Luckily, most tools also give you the ability to search a PDF for a word or phrase. This is especially helpful if the PDF you're looking at is especially wordy.

On a Mac, you can open a PDF in Preview, giving you a quick and easy default program for viewing — and searching — the PDF.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

MacBook Pro (From $1,299.99 at Best Buy)

Lenovo IdeaPad 130 (From $299.99 at Best Buy)

How to search a PDF on Mac

1. Find the PDF you want to search and open it.

  • If you don't have Adobe Reader on your Mac, it will likely open by default with Preview. If you do have Adobe Reader, however, Preview can still be an easier program to use to search the document.
  • If you have Adobe Reader and want to use Preview, right-click on the PDF. Scroll down to "Open With," and select Preview in the menu that opens.

Screen Shot 2019 11 27 at 12.42.07 PM

2. Once it's open in Preview, you can search easily in the search bar at the top. You can get to the search bar by clicking it, or by pressing Command + F on your keyboard.

How to search a PDF on Mac 1

3. Type the word or phrase you want to search into the search box.

4. Once typed in, all the instances of the word will show up in the sidebar.

5. Click on the entry in the left sidebar for a particular appearance of a word, and you'll be taken to it in the document, or toggle through appearances of the word using the arrows next to "Found on [x] pages," which is located below the search bar.
