What tech deal should I expect to find on Black Friday?

Tons. And they've been curated really well on WIRED.com. We have a whole bunch of reporters looking all over the Internet for good deals. But there are always great electronic deals. You want to get a new TV, a new robot vacuum? Amazon, which is trying to pull you in, will often have its core products at deeply discounted prices. There's lots of stuff, lots of electronics that you can get.

Are Black Friday tech deals always offering soon-to-be data tech?

That's a conspiracy theory question. I actually don't think so. When you're buying televisions, yes, sometimes you're getting old models that have been deeply discounted, but it's a very competitive market and companies know that people like to shop on Black Friday. So, they do offer new stuff as well.

What are you buying on Black Friday?

Ha, good question. I do need a new Kindle, but I'm going to buy one of these, for my kids. Good time to do some Christmas shopping.

Angela Merkel was elected chancellor of Germany on November 22, 2005, becoming the first woman to hold that job. During that time Merkel was arguably the most powerful woman in the world, presiding over one of its largest economies for four terms in the Bundesregierung. Twenty years on, the anniversary is a reminder of how singular her breakthrough remains. It’s still the exception when a woman runs a country.
