The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 lookalike is down to $329

Initially, I was going to tell you about a good deal happening on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, which is down from the $500 it’s sold at most of the year to $378 at multiple retailers. But there’s a better deal happening on a nearly identical portable camera, the Xtra Muse, which is $329 (roughly $100 off what it sold for three months ago). It’s not just some copycat; my colleague Sean Hollister’s report on the company is linked below, wherein he said the Muse “appears to be the same product in almost

For a friend's birthday party one year, Ayla D'Silva spent $100 on sour candy and made a "sour candy salad." Even sweeter was that she didn't have to foot the bill - the money came from Partiful. As a college ambassador for the startup, D'Silva got a small stipend every month to throw a party on her college campus. There were very few rules and no metrics to
