It's a good thing Anaconda isn't meant to be a horror movie, because the few times it tries for such moments, it's not great at it. The first reveal of the titular giant snake feels like an afterthought. The jump scares, while certainly startling in the moment, are pretty well-telegraphed in advance. However, the end result is a movie far less scary than its campy 1997 predecessor, but far funnier - on purpose.

Amazon has released the first trailer for next year's documentary on Melania Trump. The film will follow the first lady in the 20 days before the 2025 inauguration and has unprecedented access with promises of exclusive footage capturing critical meetings, private conversations, and never-before-seen environments. Witness history in the making is the tagline. It's also a comeback vehicle for disgraced director Brett Ratner, who was accused of sexual misconduct by a number of women back in 2017.

The Alexa.com website appears to be live for some users. The browser-based home for Alexa Plus, the company's revamped digital voice assistant, was first announced at the Alexa Plus launch event in February. But until recently, Alexa.com redirected to an information page. Now, some users, myself included, are seeing a new Alexa Plus web interface. This morning, when I typed Alexa.com into my web browser, it took me to a page that resembled the Alexa Plus chatbot in the Alexa app. (I was already logged into my Amazon.com account.)

Since major retailers are competing for your business, a majority of the time you can get the same deal at a retailer of your choice. For many, has become the go-to place to shop soup to nuts, including popular tech. And during Cyber Week, I faced a dilemma. For weeks, I was scoping out the Hisense Canvas 65-inch TV , waiting for a deal.

In the report, on page 7, a graph showcasing the most visited websites since October 2023 can be seen. While there are some fluctuations, the top 3 are consistent with Google at the top, followed by YouTube and Facebook. After that things get interesting and as of Summer 2025, the fifth spot seems to have crisscrossed multiple times between popular online shopping site Amazon and ChatGPT. The report highlights that the AI tool's rise stems from user intent, with people turning to it for answers, creativity and learning, rather than entertainment or shopping.

The union-busting industry thrives on secrecy, with consultants exploiting loopholes in disclosure requirements and filing mandatory reports months late - if they file accurate information at all. But recently, the upper limits of what they charge have evidently exploded far beyond long-outrageous multiples. Disclosures show that two union busters, including one hired by Amazon, recently set new records for the highest hourly and daily rates.

As we get ready to jump into the final month of 2025, S&P 500 futures are rallying. Up about 11 points, it's getting set to wrap up what's been a very volatile month. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) is up about $1.65 this morning. The Dow Jones is up about 53, with the NASDAQ up about 72. Granted, we had a rough start to the day. All after CME trading came to a standstill following a cooling issue at one of its data centers.

Meta Platforms and Amazon could surpass the current combined market value of Nvidia and Palantir by the end of the decade. Over the past year, Nvidia shares have advanced 33%, bringing its market value to $4.3 trillion. Meanwhile, Palantir Technologies shares has advanced 155%, bringing its market value to $395 billion. In aggregate, the companies are worth about $4.7 trillion. Apple could certainly surpass that figure within five years, but I also have confidence in Meta Platforms and Amazon .

The Museum of the Amazons (MAZ), a cultural space dedicated to valuing science and technology in the region, opened to the public in Belém on October 4th. The museum is part of Porto Futuro II, which comprises a set of works carried out by the Government of Pará, left as a legacy from COP 30 to the capital of Pará.

Several festive Lego sets are on sale for massive discounts at Amazon and Walmart for Black Friday. The Lego 2-in-1 Christmas Tree and Santa's Sleigh are on sale for their best prices this year. The 784-piece Lego Christmas Tree is available for $25 (was $45) at Walmart. Amazon matched this offer but quickly sold out, so don't wait too long to choose your Christmas Tree this year.
