| Crypto exchange FTX is reportedly looking into buying Robinhood Posted: 27 Jun 2022 03:14 PM PDT  Cryptocurrency exchange FTX is reportedly considering an acquisition of the trading platform Robinhood, according to a report from Bloomberg. Sources close to the situation told Bloomberg that FTX is still weighing the possibility and hasn't yet made an offer. When asked about the possible buyout, FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried stated that the company currently isn't in the process of trying to acquire Robinhood. "We are excited about Robinhood's business prospects and potential ways we could partner with them," Bankman-Fried said in a statement to Bloomberg. "That being said, there are no active M&A [mergers and acquisitions] conversations with Robinhood." The Verge reached out to FTX with a request for comment but didn't immediately hear... |
| Amazon is reportedly hosting a second major Prime-exclusive shopping event this year Posted: 27 Jun 2022 12:29 PM PDT  Amazon may have just revealed the July dates for its Prime Day shopping bonanza, but the company is already prepping a second shopping event for Amazon Prime subscribers for later this year, Business Insider and CNBC report. Information sent to sellers that has been seen by the publications calls it the "Prime Fall Deal Event," though exactly when in the fall is unclear — CNBC quotes a notice saying it will happen in Q4, while Business Insider reports that "invited sellers say it appears to be scheduled for October." Last year, Amazon hosted a beauty products event in October, so another sales moment in that timeframe isn't completely unprecedented. But this year's fall event sounds like it could be more akin to a Prime Day 2.0, as both... |
| You can join the queue to buy a PlayStation 5 right now Posted: 27 Jun 2022 12:19 PM PDT  It's that time again for another chance to buy a PlayStation 5 directly from Sony. While the console maker often sends out emails for invite-only restocks, this one's for everyone, and it's starting now. If you're lucky, you'll get through the queue and have the chance to buy a standard disc-equipped $499 PS5 or a $399 PS5 Digital Edition, and if Sony's last console selling events are anything to go by, there should be bundles of both with Horizon Forbidden West included for a total savings of $20 off the cost of the game. Remember that when buying a PS5 from Sony, you must log in to your PlayStation Network account, and each account can only buy one console. These queues can last up to an hour or more, and the estimated time remaining... |
| OnePlus’ Nord N20 5G is now available unlocked Posted: 27 Jun 2022 12:04 PM PDT  One of the year's best budget phones is finally available unlocked in the US. The OnePlus Nord N20 5G launched as a T-Mobile exclusive in April, and that was the only way to get ahold of one — until now. The N20 5G is now up for sale from Amazon, Best Buy, or directly from OnePlus for $299 with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Take note that the unlocked N20 won't work on Verizon — not on 5G or 4G. AT&T customers will be able to connect to 4G only, which isn't too bad of a deal given that the carrier is taking a slower approach to expanding its more meaningful mid-band 5G coverage. T-Mobile subscribers will, of course, get 5G and 4G coverage. This makes the unlocked N20 best suited to AT&T customers who don't need 5G or someone on a... |
| Here are the best Apple Watch deals right now Posted: 27 Jun 2022 11:57 AM PDT  Thinking about picking up a new Apple Watch? It might be tempting to order one of the Series 7 models, but newer hardware always comes at a premium. And while Apple's latest wearable offers a slightly larger display and some improvements to durability, it is largely the same Apple Watch we're familiar with. Thankfully, each Apple Watch model offers ample functionality and has seen its fair share of discounts over the last year. So which ones should you consider if you're in the market for Apple's popular smartwatch while trying to shop smarter? There are currently four Apple Watch models to choose from, all of which support watchOS 8. The highest-end is the Apple Watch Series 7 starting at $399 (less when it's discounted, which happens... |
| Supreme Court rejects Apple’s bid to continue fighting over two Qualcomm patents Posted: 27 Jun 2022 11:44 AM PDT  The Supreme Court declined Apple's bid (pdf) for a hearing over two Qualcomm patents (US Patent No. 7,844,037 and US Patent No. 8,683,362) that were part of lawsuits filed in 2017, claiming infringement by Apple's iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. Reuters points out that Apple and Qualcomm's 2019 settlement of a worldwide legal battle over patents largely ended the squabbling in favor of a six-year licensing agreement but allowed a case in front of the Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board to continue. There, Apple argued the two patents should be invalid, but the board ruled in Qualcomm's favor. Last April, the Federal Circuit court rejected Apple's request for an appeal based on the 2019 settlement covering... |
