On Monday, Variety reported that RoseBerry Media is recutting episodes of the Australian soap opera Neighbours "into microdramas." These clips will be available on Epis, a short-form vertical video streaming platform.

Twenty years since the original Gears of War, there's still nothing like its particular brand of up-close cover shooter gameplay, and E-Day shows that it still hits hard two decades later. As Xbox moves into a messy new era focused on its biggest franchises, E-Day could be an early glimpse at the future of the platform. But it's also launching during one of the β¦
Kindles don't usually change much with each new version, but Amazon is launching next-generation models today that look and feel a whole lot nicer. The base Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, and Kindle Colorsoft are a millimeter thinner and 30 percent faster at opening books, and their power buttons have moved from the bottom to the right edge near the top.
They ship in vibrant new colors with a soft-touch plastic case, and, for the first time, there's the option for a couple shades of aluminum, giving them a higher-end look and feel, not to mention double the storage of the plastic version (32GB versus 16GB). Amazon VP of Kindle Kevin Keith told β¦
