body> The deals that made webcams a fantastic stocking stuffer in 2020 have continued into 2021. Last year webcams were nearly impossible to find, as millions of people gearing up to work or study from home tried to improve upon the 720p models most laptops have. Now 1080p models are plentiful again, making it a perfect time to pick up a few for yourself or for loved ones. There are literally so many 1080p webcams available that Amazon is throwing deals at you: coupons, daily discounts, the works! Need it soon? Amazon should be able to ship something to you almost overnight. There's even premium models with high refresh rates and integrated ring lights for a few dollars more. With Black Friday upon us, there are even more deals: Razer's excellent Kiyo Pro, for example, is $1...

Borgen is a 30 episode Danish political drama on Netflix that chronicles the rise, periodic stumbles, fall, and reemergence of Brigitte Nyborg, a complex charismatic fictitious figure, who through a highly unlikely set of unusual circumstances becomes Denmark's first female prime minister. Borgen focuses on Nyborg, her staff, and the media tasked with covering her. The name of the show is derived from Chistiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, which houses Denmark's three branches of government – the Parliament, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Supreme Court. Borgen is by far the best political drama series I've ever seen and that includes The West Wing and House of Cards. It takes a hard look at human behavior, morality, and ethics in politics. You come away with a better understanding of the difficulties and pressures "a generally principled person" like Brigitte Nyborg grapples with on a daily basis in politics. I like the fact that Borgen doesn't pain...

Since 2015, we've seen a few laptops and tablets that can charge over USB Type-C, and we expect that number to grow exponentially in the coming months and years. The $199.99 Dell WD15 is one of the first universal docking stations to provide power, 4K video output and a host of connectivity options over USB Type-C. Unlike competitors such as the Plugable USB-C Triple Display Docking Station, which uses DisplayLink compression technology, Dell's dock takes advantage of USB Type-C's new Alt Mode to send video directly from your laptop's GPU. The WD15 offers a solid dual 1080p monitor (or single 4K monitor) experience at your desk, but you can't pair it with a non-USB Type-C laptop, and its DisplayPort connector won't output at the highest resolution. Design The Dell WD15 Docking Station doesn't want to be noticed. It's a rounded black rectangle that sits horizontally on your desk. At 6.1 x 4.3 x 0.83 inches, it takes up a bit of space, but unlike Plugable...

Now, the Crawleys are returning to the big screen for a second time with "Downton Abbey: A New Era," featuring the return of nearly all the series regulars in a film that follows the trials and tribulations of the aristocratic family and their servants later into the 1920s. Below, find the first teaser trailer from Focus Features, which is releasing the film in the U.S. in March. Plot details remain under wraps, but the "Downton Abbey" sequel is set to take place after the events of the first film, which traced the preparation by the Crawley household for a visit by King George V and Queen Mary, an event that proved to be full of drama and intrigue at the estate.
