[ad_1] On top of this, Amazon has also begun restricting “non-essential” employee travel in the US after doing the same in China in January. The internet giant joins Facebook, Sony, EA, Epic Games, Microsoft, Kojima Productions and Unity Technologies among the major brands exiting GDC. This won’t necessarily lead to GDC shutting down, as there […]

Amazon’s ‘Tales from the Loop’ trailer is a moving Stålenhag painting
[ad_1] The series, in particular, revolves around a town that’s built above “The Loop,” a supermassive particle accelerator that can make things previously only possible in science fiction possible in real life. It was created by Nathaniel Halpern (Legion), but Stålenhag will co-executive produce with Matt Reeves (10 Cloverfield Lane, The Batman, War for the […]
Walmart+ is the retailer’s latest attempt to take on Amazon Prime
[ad_1] At first, Walmart+ won’t be much more than a rebranded version of the company’s existing Delivery Unlimited service, in which customers pay $98 per year for unlimited same-day grocery deliveries from participating stores. (That price, by the way, isn’t set in stone — Walmart may test the service at different price points.) If that […]
Ava DuVernay teams with ‘Star Wars’ veteran on Amazon sci-fi series
[ad_1] This isn’t Amazon’s first Octavia Butler adaptation. It also tapped Viola Davis, Nnedi Okorafor and others for a Prime Video version of Wild Seed. It is, however, relatively new territory for DuVernay. She’s more closely associated with Netflix projects like When They See Us, and she’s not known for straight-up sci-fi. When she branches […]
Eero’s mesh WiFi routers now support Apple HomeKit
[ad_1] Eero has acted on its promise of supporting HomeKit for Routers. You can now add any Eero, Eero Pro or Eero Beacon device running eeroOS 3.18.0 (or later) to Apple’s Home app, letting the mesh WiFi routers firewall your smart home devices so that a vulnerability in one doesn’t compromise your entire local network. […]
Amazon drops the Fire TV Cube to its best-ever price
[ad_1] The Cube is decidedly more expensive than the other Fire TV players on sale, but it might be the wisest purchase depending on what you’re looking for. It’s not just the speediest Fire TV, it doubles as an Alexa device. You might not need to pick up a separate speaker if you just want […]
After Math: The rule of threes
[ad_1] Just three weeks after being barred from doing business in the South American country as part of an ongoing lawsuit, Uber is back on Columbia’s streets. Not because of any shenanigans on the part of the universe, simply because the ride-hailing service found a legal loophole that enables it to operate under a “new […]
KidKraft’s Alexa-powered toy kitchen sizzles and tells dad jokes
[ad_1] It doesn’t have Alexa built-in directly; instead the smarts come from an Echo speaker you add yourself. That might seem like a bit of a cheat but let’s be honest: It keeps the price down, especially since Amazon seems to be having sales on Echo Dots every other week. Or you might even have […]
Twitch built a tool to help new players understand ‘League of Legends’
[ad_1] When a League streamer installs the extension, their audience will be able to pull up an interactive panel that displays the match scoreboard, the streamer’s gameplay stats and match history, as well as other information. The interface features four tabs, the most notable of which breaks down the streamer’s champion build (seen above). This […]
Amazon is removing listings for products that claim to cure coronavirus
[ad_1] It’s not surprising that people are trying to sell products on dubious claims relating to the coronavirus, or COVID-19, outbreak. According to CNBC, sellers are peddling books on the virus and vitamin C sales have increased due to false statements that it is a cure. It’s good to see that Amazon is doing what […]
