Your monthly Amazon Prime membership fees are about to increase
If you’re on-board for Amazon’s monthly Prime membership, I’ve got a bit of bad news for you on this cold December morning. The company’s bumping up pricing from $10.99 to $12.99. Not the end of the world, of course, but that comes out to about $156 a year — a $24 increase over the old price. Amazon has confirmed the price increase with TechCrunch and laid all of… Read More

People who fear an annual Amazon commitment — get ready to pay the price.
On Friday, Amazon will be hiking the price of monthly Prime memberships by 18 percent in the United States. This means the cost for monthly members will jump from $10.99 to $12.99, according to a report from Recode.
The monthly payment option allows customers who know they’ll only use the service certain times during the year to save some cash, as opposed to committing to the annual membership, which costs $99. That annual membership price is not changing. Read more…

Before we were transported to high-tech dystopia with Black Mirror, twisted sci-fi and fantasy anthologies thrived in the world of short fiction.
In 2017, Channel 4 (the erstwhile home of Black Mirror) adapted 10 short stories by Philip K. Dick into the anthology series Electric Dreams, a beautiful portrait of worlds beyond our own with a thrumming thread of humanity.
Now available on Amazon Prime, Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams presents 10 episodes – 10 fully-realized worlds which depart in different measures from our own reality, but all of which center around the concept of dreams. What do our dreams say about who we are? Can anything live up to our dreams? What do we make of a dream that feels more real than life itself? Read more…

With Disney’s $52 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the world’s greatest children’s entertainment behemoth now gets the foundation for distribution platforms to match.
In other words: The kids content steaming wars are on. And — this should go without saying — where there are kids’ attention spans, there’s a ton of money to be made.
While talk of cord-cutter culture is usually centered around millennials, it’s worth remembering that they’re not all young adults living in big cities with roommates, Slack rooms, group chats, and haute weed habits. Plenty of them have small, demanding, freeloading roommates with sugar habits. You may know them as “children.” Read more…
