From 9to5Google: After launching a private beta of its new Google Reader replacement, Digg announced today that it is now rolling out the beta to all users signed up to test the new app. Digg just sent out the first batch of invites to the new web app, but promises it will be “adding users in increasingly larger batches.” The app is still a work in progress and won’t get you every feature you might have had with Google Reader, but for now you can easily import your Google Reader content, use Google Reader-like shortcuts, and save and share to all the usual third-party services....

In October, the “DirecTV” app added the ability to stream video over home networks. Today, an update to the app adds the ability to stream shows and movies over 3G and Wi-Fi anywhere.

Engadget points us to an early review of the new feature that is apparently called “DirecTV Everywhere” from The Solid Signal Blog (below)....

The Disney+ streaming service will launch in the United States in November 2019 - and it will have gone global by the end of 2021. For the last few years, the new streaming service has been Disney’s corporate priority.

Disney+ will feature a vast library of content, ranging from Pixar to Star Wars, from Marvel Studios to National Geographic....

YouTube creators have renewed calls to unionize on the platform after the company instituted new terms of service policies that will go into effect on December 10 and give the service an incredibly large - and vague - amount of power over the videos that will be allowed on the site. YouTube creators struggling with YouTube’s ever-shifting policies isn’t anything new in content creation, as it has been an on-going battle for years, often involving unannounced changes to the algorithm YouTube uses to promote videos or how the company defines videos that will eventually be flagged for demonetization....

At the end of April, T-Mobile and Sprint officially announced merger plans to the tune of $26B. Now, the DOJ is reportedly investigating how the deal could affect small carriers, particularly MVNOs.

With the recent release of the trailer for Aladdin, we got our first look at Will Smith as the Genie. Unfortunately, it left a lot of fans scratching their heads, to say the least. The Internet backlash was immediate, and for good reason, too: the CGI is horrifying. The Genie looks like a terrible fan-edit, and it’s still hard to believe that the atrocity was made with the full funding of Disney behind it....

Ubisoft’s Division 2 came out with the Firewall specialization and burning enemies has never been more fun. Sure there’s a fire turret, incendiary grenades, and the Incendiary talent, but there’s something different about having a flamethrower. The Division 2 community got very excited when news of this new specialization gun came out and with good reason.

We know Siri has a tendency to provide surprising answers that can cause a bit of controversy in some cases. Many reported earlier this year that Siri responded with “Nokia Lumia 900” when asked what the best smartphone is (an answer based on data from the Web). Apple quickly appeared to tweak the responses with answers that promoted the iPhone, such as: “The one you’re holding.” Now, PocketNow reported law student Sean DeVries is suing Apple over the “sponsored responses”:...

Marvel continued their box office domination last year with the release of Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange, the thirteenth and fourteenth entry into the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Davies was originally seen as taking something of a risk when he cast Billie Piper as the Doctor’s first companion in his Doctor Who relaunch in the mid-2000s. Piper was best known as a pop-star and had only recently begun her acting career. It didn’t take long for Piper to win any critics over, though....
