RSS feed for this sectionWeekly tech news roundup for November 18
Reviews for this year's hottest toy, the NES Classic, are in (and yes, it does have at least one major flaw). Also this week: Twitter rolls out anti-troll features, Amazon's pre-Black Friday deals have started (but there's a catch), and there's a Kickstarter remote you just might want if you've got lots of connected devices. All this, and more in today's roundup.
These Healthy Side Dishes Brighten Up Your Thanksgiving Table
Thanksgiving is a day for family, friends, and yes—indulgence. But that doesn't mean that every dish needs to be full of butter and cream to be delicious. These lighter-than-average Thanksgiving sides make delicious additions to your table, and are less caloric to boot.
The right and wrong ways to defrost a turkey: answers from the internet
The joy of a frozen turkey is that you can buy it well in advance of your holiday and eat it later—as long as you defrost it safely. If you defrost your turkey wrong? Well, you could be inviting bacteria to join you for dinner.
I scoured the internet in search of the best and worst ways to go about defrosting your Butterball. Here are your answers (including a way to cook the turkey straight from frozen, if you missed your defrosting window!).
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Whitney Houston
When people discuss pop music, a few acts always seem to come up as the best of all time. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince–and maybe Timberlake, or Bruno Mars for the younger music aficionados. Well the artist I’m listening to today is the most awarded female act of all time per Guinness World Records and has sold an estimated 200 million records worldwide.
These Thanksgiving Pies, Cakes and Tarts NEED to be On Your Thanksgiving Table
Why not add a new dish to your holiday table?

Whether you're looking to break out of the mold or simply to add something adventurous to the table, we've got the desserts for you.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Days of New
Often referred to as the “yellow” or “orange” album because of the cover and liner notes, Days of New's debut was almost an instant success. Backed by lead single "Touch, Peel and Stand" which rose to #1 on the Billboard chart, the entire industry was taking notice. Band like Alice in Chains and Metallica were calling the label to book them as an opener for their world tours. You can get this album today for only $5.

A love affair with Countdown to Christmas: a confession and advice

Or if you’ve ever been curious but don’t know where to start, I can help there too. Find out what to watch, what to avoid, and what's coming in this season's batch of Hallmark Christmas movies.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Blues Traveler
When you think of musicians from New Jersey, one artist clearly pops into mind over all the rest. Yep, you know him, The Boss–Bruce Springsteen. If you’re a big fan of his, my apologies, but he is not the artist I’m listening to today. Instead, I’m focusing on another Garden State standout—a group that’s sold nearly 10 million albums in the U.S. alone.
