Cheaper Than Dyson, This Shark Hair Dryer and Styler Hits a New Low for Early Prime Day
Dyson has been a familiar name for years with its prestige dryers and stylers, but the monopoly doesn't exist anymore. In America, Shark has also made an appearance as a strong contender with a product that looks like the Dyson in both form and function but costs a fraction of the price.
With Amazon's first Prime Day sale, the Shark HD430 air styling and drying system can now be obtained for just $249, down from its usual $350. That is a 29% discount, which is approximately half of Dyson's counterpart and is the lowest Amazon has ever offered it for this model.

The Shark hair dryer ican help you achieve salon-quality looks in the comfort of your own home. The machine is designed for every hair type from straight to wavy, curly to coily. The system comes with an assortment of attachments that enable you to curl, volumize, smooth and dry your hair with one machine. Included in the box are two 1.25-inch auto-wrap curlers, an oval brush, a paddle brush, and a concentrator nozzle, all of which give you the full range of styling options without having to use separate tools.
While most styling tools employ extreme heat that deteriorates hair in the long run, this product uses intelligent heat control, taking and modifying heat 1,000 times a second. This dries your hair quickly with little exposure to heat which saves your hair from dryness and damage normally incurred while styling your hair daily. The 1300-watt motor gives intense airflow power for quick drying, but the machine remains very lightweight and small at slightly over 1.5 pounds.
The auto-wrap curlers uses Coanda technology to automatically wrap hair around the barrel for easy curls in either direction. This feature is especially convenient if you struggle with traditional curling irons as it eliminates much of the guesswork and manual labor in the process. The oval brush attachment is best for volume and bounce and to defrizz and smooth, and the paddle brush straightens and smooths hair in a single step. The concentrator design gives concentrated airflow for intense drying and styling, and the rotating nozzle enables you to direct the flow wherever you need it.
For someone wanting to upgrade their hair care without sacrificing value, this Prime Day deal early on is one not to pass up.

Details Save $70 $130 at Amazon Close More early Prime Day tablet offers available now Is Amazon Prime Day a good time to buy a tablet? It depends. Your needs and preferences will affect which tablet you should buy, and some tablet options won't be as competitively priced as others during Prime Day. Amazon's deals on its own Fire tablets are a great place to start if you're looking for major discounts, but you can also score some serious savings on iPads and models from other brands. If you have an older tablet you can trade in, you can potentially save even more through trade-in programs at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon on eligible models. Do you need a membership for Prime Day tablet deals? To access the vast majority of Prime Day deals, you'll need to be a Prime member. If you've always yearned for the benefits of Prime but haven't made the jump, now's a great time to subscribe. Subscribing now could lead to significant savings, as tariffs are expected to raise prices on a lot of goods. In fact, 16% of shoppers say they're using Prime Day to start their holiday shopping well ahead of the holiday season, according to a new RetailMeNot survey. (Disclosure: RetailMeNot is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) Read more: How to Sign Up for a Prime Membership Are other retailers offering high-quality tablet deals? Yes. In response to Prime Day, many of Amazon's competitors also lowered prices across the board, including on tablets. Both Best Buy and Walmart have Fourth of July deals that are offering plenty of savings already. In addition, you may also spot deals directly at HP, Samsung and Dell. Will tariffs impact this year's Prime Day deals? Tariffs are top of mind for most Americans, and they could impact this year's Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase, with companies like Apple trying to avoid this by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. The tariffs are currently paused, but only until July, right when Prime Day begins. Watch this: How to Hack Amazon Prime Day: Shopping and Deals Advice 04:03 How does CNET select the best Prime Day offers?

The War With Tech Isn't New
Reading Allysia Finley's article 'AI's Biggest Threat: Young People Who Can't Think' (Life Science, June 23), I couldn't help but recall 1976. That was the year I entered junior high—the same year Texas Instruments introduced its TI-30 scientific calculator. Our teachers and parents repeatedly warned us not to become too dependent on this newfangled technology, as it might hinder our ability to think for ourselves. The more things change . . . Greg Ross

Oracle Benefits From AI Cloud Service Adoption: A Sign of More Upside?
Oracle's ORCL collaboration with xAI to deploy its Grok models via the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure ('OCI') is expected to further drive momentum in the company's cloud services and license support revenues in the near term. OCI spans domains like compute, databases and AI services, providing end-to-end solutions for enterprise workloads. Oracle's 23 AI database has helped businesses integrate AI solutions by automating workflows and providing flexibility to tailor models to business-specific needs. Oracle had previously demonstrated its ability to host, train and scale various models through partnerships with Cohere, LLAMA 2 and NVIDIA AI Enterprise. The latest partnership with xAI is expected to significantly increase OCI compute, storage and network usage. Additionally, the seamless deployment of Grok models is likely to encourage long-term contract renewals. Looking forward, total cloud revenues are expected to grow 26-30% for the first quarter of 2026, and by over 40% for fiscal 2026. The company also noted that for fiscal 2026, cloud infrastructure revenues are projected to grow even more than 70%, up from 51% in the prior year.

The company recently launched the 'Cloud Wide Area Network,' making Google's private cloud network globally accessible. The recent inclusion of Gemini 2.5 and Flash into Alphabet's Vertex AI Platform is expected to transform enterprise-AI sophistication. Amazon's cloud services are deployed via AWS. Amazon's AI applications like Alexa+ and its latest AI chip, Trainium 2, are delivering massive improvements in performance and efficiency. Amazon's Bedrock recently integrated Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Meta's Llama 4 model family to build high-quality Generative AI applications. The company recently launched a preview version of Amazon Nova Act, designed to help developers break down complex tasks and perform commands in web browsers. ORCL's shares have appreciated 27.7% in the year-to-date period, outperforming both the Zacks Computer and Technology sector's return of 5.5% and the Zacks Computer-Software industry's appreciation of 14.6%. Oracle's shares have also outperformed Alphabet and Amazon in the year-to-date period. While shares of GOOGL dropped 8.4%, AMZN plunged 1.0%.
