NBA testing 99-cent stream that lets you watch the final quarter of a live game

Image
The NBA has a plethora of streaming options for basketball fans. If you want the whole season-long, league-wide package, there’s League Pass. But NBA Digital (a joint effort between the league and Turner) has also broken out additional offerings that cost less money, like team-specific subscriptions and the option to pay for individual games. Now the NBA is testing another, obvious-when-you-think-about-it idea: letting fans watch the 4th quarter of a live, in-progress game for just 99 cents. On Twitter, Vasu Kulkarni shared a screenshot of a notification sent by the NBA app. For less than a buck, he could hop in and stream the end of a game between the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder. The Verge has reached out to NBA Digital for... Continue reading… via The Verge - Tech Posts "https://ift.tt/2GkSVHp"

Tim Cook wants ‘well-crafted’ privacy regulations after latest Facebook scandal

Image
Apple CEO Tim Cook, long an staunch advocate for consumer privacy, says that he supports the idea of tech companies facing regulations that specify just how they’re able to use customer data. Speaking at the China Development Forum in Beijing on Saturday, Cook was asked for his thoughts on what should happen in the aftermath of Facebook’s latest privacy fiasco, according to Bloomberg’s recap of his remarks . “I think that this certain situation is so dire and has become so large that probably some well-crafted regulation is necessary,” he said. “The ability of anyone to know what you’ve been browsing about for years, who your contacts are, who their contacts are, things you like and dislike and every intimate detail of your life — from...

Projector deals, Apple Watch markdowns, and more Samsung Galaxy S9 bundles

Image
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ have been out for a week now, and while excitement about getting the new flagship Android phone may have died down a bit, Samsung has kept it up by offering bundles with the phone. The Samsung Ultimate Bundle , which contains a Samsung Gear IconX , Gear VR , and wireless charger is available for $99 with the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ . It’s a $400 value for about $100. There’s also a Power Bundle , if that’s more your speed. These deals only last through April 6th, so now’s as good a time as any to snag the new Galaxy phone.

The Oregon Trail handheld game is a really fun nostalgia gadget

Image
In late February, Target quietly began selling a portable version of The Oregon Trail for $24.99. Now, I’ve spent $25 on much dumber things than this in my time. You probably have, too. So I went right out to my local store and bought the handheld game once it was in stock. (Initially it was only available in stores, but now you can order on the web .) Target is the exclusive retailer, and it also sells a card game , though can’t imagine that would scratch my nostalgia itch to the same satisfying degree as this miniature Apple II gadget. Target and Big Fun, the actual manufacturer of this handheld, definitely get points for presentation. The beige unit is chunky but light and comfortable to hold. And for something that costs $24.99, the... Continue reading… via The Verge - Tech Posts "https://ift.tt/2DRCmxy"
