On the bright side, colder weather means hunkering down and finally finishing that box set, and the Amazon UK Bank Holiday Sale is right on cue with a selection of great TV deals from top retailers like Sony, Toshiba and Philips. Read more…

Now is the time for Walmart to strike at Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime has been an enormous influence on e-commerce, but this online juggernaut is beginning to show cracks. Now is the time for arch-rival Walmart to swoop in with a Prime-like offering that strikes at the weaknesses Amazon has introduced into its formidable loyalty program: price, a lack of focus, and competing subscription services.
