While Amazon readies its retail push, Walmart is responding by taking aim at the ebook and audiobook market. The retailer has teamed up with Japanese e-commerce titan Rakuten to sell $120 Kobo eReaders in its stores. | | Way to make it interesting.  On the same day pre-orders are opening for Apple’s $349 HomePod, Sonos is firing back. For a limited time, customers can buy a bundle of two Sonos One speakers at the same price, with Alexa support included and Google Assistant and AirPlay 2 on the way. | | Check the app before you go.  While the $9.95 MoviePass plan is a great deal for its millions of subscribers, it’s expensive for the company to subsidize tickets that can cost more than that for one visit. Yesterday it suddenly removed several popular AMC theaters from the plan without much warning or explanation, but just looking at the math of its business provides a big hint. | | ‘3D light printing’ produces Princess Leia-like imagery.  Researchers from Brigham Young University (BYU) have created a true 3D hologram, or "volumetric image," to use the correct term. BYU's device uses lasers to trap a tiny particle in free space, and force it to move in a path, much like how electromagnets deflect the electron beam in a CRT television. Other blue, red and green lasers then illuminate it. If the particle moves fast enough, it creates the illusion of a solid animated holographic image. | | But wait, there's more... | |
