  • Apple Watch Ultra 3 Gets Best Price Yet on Amazon: $99 Off on Natural and Black Titanium Models
    November 1, 2025, 10:38 AM EDT. Amazon has trimmed $99 off select Apple Watch Ultra 3 configurations, dropping both the Natural Titanium and Black Titanium editions to $699.99 shipped (regularly $799). This marks an all-time low in the current cycle, with Costco offering similar pricing but a $5 delivery fee. The higher-end Black Titanium Milanese Loop is also discounted to $799.99, matching the savings. With Black Friday approaching, deals may continue, though history suggests gains near the $100 mark aren't guaranteed. Ultra 3 offers a rugged titanium case, sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance, a bright display, and up to 42 hours of regular use (72 hours in Low Power Mode). It includes GPS, health tracking, and satellite texting for emergencies when cell service is unavailable.
  • Cutting the Cord: How switching from satellite TV to an antenna saved me $200 a month
    November 1, 2025, 10:24 AM EDT. I swapped satellite TV for an over-the-air (OTA) antenna and cut bills by $200 a month. By using an OTA lineup for local channels plus selective streaming, I still get the shows I want without long contracts. The core move: a solid antenna, good reception in your area, and a reliable way to record (cloud DVR or on-device recording). Steps to try: test signal strength, invest in a quality antenna, compare streaming bundles, and cancel expensive satellite plans. With a thoughtful mix of OTA channels and budget streaming, you can watch the same content for a fraction of the cost.
  • Dial *#06# Now: Protect Your Smartphone with Your IMEI
    November 1, 2025, 10:22 AM EDT. Smartphone users face cyber and physical threats. iOS offers Stolen Device Protection (iOS 17.3+); Android provides Factory Reset Protection, location-based identity checks, and AI theft-detection locks. A simple, practical step is to dial *#06# to reveal your unique IMEI (15 digits). Share this number with your carrier to blacklist a stolen device, making it unusable even after SIM swaps or factory resets. The code is risk-free and requires no charges. Keep your IMEI safe, record it securely, and use it as part of your incident response if your device goes missing. This tip complements existing protections and can save you future bills from theft.
  • Joby Aviation Valuation Under Scrutiny as Nvidia Partnership and FAA-Certified Production Accelerate Commercial Launch
    November 1, 2025, 10:08 AM EDT. Joby Aviation has two growth accelerators: an exclusive Nvidia aviation partnership for the IGX Thor platform and the start of FAA-certifiable propeller blade production at the Dayton, Ohio facility. The stock rally remains impressive, with YTD gains above 114% and a 256% 12-month total return, reflecting rising optimism about scale and commercial operations. But the valuation is demanding: price-to-book near 17.3x, far above peer and industry averages, signaling lofty growth expectations and profitability risk. Delays in launches or slower revenue could reverse sentiment. This analysis weighs whether investors are pricing years of growth into today's price and outlines key risks to watch as Joby approaches commercialization.
  • Xania Monet Is the First AI-Powered Artist to Debut on a Billboard Airplay Chart
    November 1, 2025, 9:36 AM EDT. Artificial intelligence is reshaping music charts, with Xania Monet becoming the first known AI artist to earn enough radio airplay to debut on a Billboard radio chart. Since releasing a song in summer 2025, Monet has appeared on the Hot Gospel Songs and Hot R&B Songs charts and has been signed to a multimillion-dollar deal with Hallwood Media after a bidding war. Monet was created by Telisha Nikki Jones and brings to life through Suno, a generative AI music tool. Her full-length album Unfolded and follow-up EP Pieces Left Behind showcase a "smooth, soulful" sound, while her team says the move isn't about replacing human artists. Billboard notes several AI-related debuts, signaling a broader trend despite industry concerns.
