Tires are one of the most important components of the automobile, yet their origins date back long before cars existed. Some of the earliest rubber tires were fitted to horse-drawn carriages and wagons in the late 18th century to help cushion the ride. In the 1890s, pneumatic tires filled with compressed air came onto the scene, providing a much smoother ride. As automobiles began gaining popularity in the early 1900s, tire technology advanced rapidly to meet the demands of the growing industry. Brands like Goodyear, Michelin, and Dunlop mass-produced tires for the new motor vehicles. Radial tires were invented in the 1950s, providing better handling at higher speeds. Over time, tires incorporated new rubber compounds, belt reinforcements, and tread patterns optimized for certain weather or terrain conditions. Today’s tires are engineered down to the molecular level for maximum performance and safety. Advanced materials like carbon black and silica deliver long treadlife while sophisti...

AMD and Intel are the two largest manufacturers of microprocessors for both desktop and laptop computers. For decades, they have competed to be the leading provider of CPU chips with different approaches to product lines and manufacturing technologies. Intel long dominated the market thanks to superior manufacturing processes and aggressive tactics, but AMD has fought hard for market share with more affordable prices. In recent years though, AMD has gained significant ground with their Ryzen CPUs that offer strong multi-core performance to compete with Intel's high-end Core chips at a lower cost. Both companies continue advancing process nodes to pack more cores and speed onto each new generation. Meanwhile, the competition has also spread to GPUs as AMD's Radeon graphics give Nvidia's GeForce a run. This rivalry has undeniably benefited consumers, giving them high-performance options at a variety of price points. As the needs of gaming, content creation and more intensify,...

The internal combustion engine has been powering vehicles for over a century. Whether gasoline or diesel, ice engines utilize explosions within cylinders to drive pistons that turn drive shafts to propel cars down the road. While being refined over decades, the basic mechanical design remains the same - injecting and igniting a fuel mixture allows ice engines to generate torque and horsepower without external charging. Repairs tend to be more straightforward than newer electric powertrains too. Enthusiasts still flock to muscle cars with big block V8s and tuners pushing engines past their factory limits. The sound of a high-revving sports car or rumbling V12 is music to the ears of driving purists. However, ice engines face looming emissions regulations and the rise of EVs. Yet engine technology continues advancing as well with turbos, direct injection, and hybridization helping squeeze more efficiency from dwindling fuel. Ice power still delivers the visceral thrill of acceleration fo...

Ever since the early days of Pong and Pac-Man, video games have captivated people around the world. What started as a simple way to pass idle time has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry.

Muscle cars conjure images of power, speed and the open road. Originating in the 1960s, muscle cars like the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger packed big V8 engines into compact bodies, giving them massive horsepower for stoplight-slaying acceleration. While handling and braking sometimes took a backseat to straight-line speed, these cars tapped into a rebellious spirit and passion for driving that still resonates today. Modern muscle retains the raw power but with improved technology for more rounded performance. Walking the line between sports car and family coupe, models like the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye deliver over 700 horsepower from supercharged Hemis. Retro styling cues also satisfy fans of the classic era. Though gas prices and an EV future loom, muscle cars keep the soul of freedom, adrenaline and American swagger alive whenever their thunderous V8s roar to life down the open road. Their influence continues to reshape the sports car spectrum.
