It's December 8, 2020. Today is National Brownie Day and Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day, so go make some brownies and pretend they're fresh from 2021. You're going to deserve it.  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don’t have to): 654 articles, 6 podcasts, 12 press releases, 387 tweets, and 13 YouTube videos 1. WarnerMedia Has Plans for Two More Streaming Services Not content with HBO Max, WarnerMedia reportedly has plans for two new streaming services. One would be for its cable channels like TNT and TBS, while the other would be a subscription-based CNN service. We’ll wait for the bundle that includes HBO Max for $15/month. Or skip them altogether. 2. Apple's Already Working on New Mac Processors Apple is already working on the successor to its recently debuted M1 processors, according to Bloomberg. The new processors could arrive in 2021 with a new MacBook Pro, iMac desktops, and a Mac Pro workstation. Apple’s really intent on separating itself from Intel, huh? 3. Twitter's Showing Some Users Way Too Many Promoted Tweets Twitter’s kind of a pain to deal with these days, but now some users have to see way more Promoted Tweets than usual. Users claim to see these ads after every four to six tweets, which is just frequent enough to tick people off. Hopefully this is a bug and not intentional, though who can say at this point. 🦑 Go Deeper Salesforce just purchased Slack for $27.7 Billion but what does that mean for the average user? Kristin Majcher has a deeper look at what exactly will change for you if you use the popular collaboration software. 🎱 By the Numbers So much drama  Data: Reelgood HBO Max is definitely a drama-centric service, with high-quality shows and movies across all categories. It makes sense that comedy tops Action Adventure, though, as if we might all need a little laughter these days.  🔥 Today's Hot Deal
Best Buy has every model of the iPhone available, including the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. By buying through the retailer and activating on one of the carriers, you can save up to $800 with a trade-in. What a deal! 🤓 Nerd Out "Rock and roll!" -Rob LeFebvre, Senior News Editor The first significant amounts of rock samples from an asteroid have safely touched down in Australia today, after Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa-2 sent them to Earth a little while ago. (Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It Clickety clack  Image: Keychron Want a modern clicky keyboard but not one of those big hunkas? The K3 from Keychron might be what you are looking for! This one sounds like a champ! 🙈 Wait, What? Wishing doesn't make it so You might lament the fact that your iPhone charging cable breaks fairly soon after you buy it, but don't fall for those ads claiming "indestructible" cords: They don't exist. Just buy an extra good one (Apple makes them pretty well, after all) and call it good. 🗞 Extra! Extra! We've got you covered with the best in daily tech news!
