It's March 24, 2021. On this day in 2001, Apple released Mac OS X 10.0, the first public version of Mac OS X. Happy Birthday, OS X! ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don’t have to): 318 articles, 10 podcasts, 20 press releases, 486 tweets, and 25 YouTube videos 1. Sony Is Shutting Down the PS3 and PS Vita Digital Stores The PlayStation Stores for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation Vita are reportedly getting shut down. If there are any games you want to download for gameplay or preservation reasons, get on it, because once those versions are gone, they'll likely stay gone. So, you know, no rush. 2. OnePlus Watch Is $159 and Provides 2-Weeks of Battery Life OnePlus' previously announced watch now has a release date: April 14. The watch will retail for $159, come in Cobalt and Midnight Black, and flaunts an impressive 14-day battery life. The downside? It's not using Google’s Wear OS, so don't expect an app store full of familiar Android-like apps. 3. You Can Now Share Your Internet Experiences With the FCC The FCC wants to know where high speed internet is unavailable, as it sees accessible internet as a necessity, rather than a luxury. To that end, its encouraging people to reach out and share their experiences via an online form. We can't see this going wrong at all. 🦑 Go Deeper In a world full of big phones and tablets, dedicated e-readers may seem a little redundant, but they're still fairly popular. Charlie Sorrel has the deep dive on why e-readers are sticking around, and how their relative simplicity makes them so appealing. 🎱 By the Numbers PS2 is still king Data: VGChartz The PS5 has a long way to go to catch up to the PS4's lifetime sales of ~115 million, but even that would trail behind the PS2's 157 million. Still, the next-gen console should easily surpass the PS Vita, a handheld that didn't quite live up to expectations. No wonder Sony's pulling the plug on its digital store. 🔥 Today's Hot Deal
Google's Pixel Buds are $20 off on Best Buy, dropping them to $159. Get one for you or a loved one in black, white, orange, or mint! Don't Miss This Deal🤓 Nerd Out "Never trust an open door." —Bob Schulties, Senior Editor You ever walk into a room and immediately forget what you're doing? There's a psychological term for that: The Doorway Effect. Now, the next time you forget your phone, coffee, or anything, really, blame the nearest doorway. (Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It Professional VR Image: Vive The VIVE Pro is touted as a "professional-grade VR headset," complete with "true-to-life" precision room scaling, 3D spatial audio, vibrant colors, realistic sounds, and more. If that sounds expensive, you'd be right, because the VIVE Pro Full Kit is $1200. It's probably worth it, though, and you know you want it. 🚀 Facing the Future Deepfakes, but make them funny The potential of Deepfakes is a little terrifying, but that doesn't mean it can only be used for evil. Join The Verge on this profile of Wombo, a lip-syncing app that can take just about any face and make it sing a handful of songs like Rick Astley’s "Never Going to Give You Up" and O-Zone's "Numa Numa." 🗞 Extra!
