Kate Magdziuk shares her Week 7 wide receiver rankings for standard scoring leagues and highlights several streaming options.
Welcome to Week 7 of the fantasy football season, everybody! Luckily, this isn’t the most difficult week of byes that we’ll face in the 2024 season, with just the Dallas Cowboys (and a lack of depth at WR) and the Chicago Bears (who admittedly have great depth at WR but it’s been volatile for fantasy at best) out for the week....

Every trade as they happen.
The 2024 NFL Trade Deadline falls on election day, November 5th — but deals are already being made to improve rosters for contending teams, while simultaneously showing us which organizations are ready to punt on the season and rebuild.
This is the last best chance for teams to improve their rosters for playoff runs. The biggest position of need around the league is wide receiver, with lacking depth and injury causing a...
A lot has been said about TV in 2004. That it was the best year of television of all time, the peak of the Golden Age of television. Or maybe that it was the year reality television became too much, suddenly showing up on every channel as we flipped the switch. But as famed Hollywood producer and UFO enthusiast Bryce Zabel wrote for the Los Angeles Times in 2004, it was the end of television as we knew it. He chalked it up to the prevalence of TiVo and DVR in American households and...
The new Kindle Paperwhite is probably going to be the best-selling Kindle. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge
Amazon introduced updated versions of the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite on Wednesday, only a few hours after inadvertently leaking them both. The Paperwhite is getting one of its biggest design refreshes ever, with a larger screen that’s completely flush with the bezels of the device, while the entry-level model is getting updated with a pop of color and some speed...
The Scribe is as much a writing device as a reading one. | Image: Amazon
Ever since Amazon launched the Kindle Scribe in 2022, the company has been noticing some unusual ways people are using the device. Scribe users read more nonfiction than normal Kindle owners; a full 60 percent of Scribe buyers use the device at work. That’s maybe not shocking, given that the Scribe is the largest Kindle and the one with an included stylus for taking notes.
But still: this is maybe the first...
What’s a color screen for? Color book previews! | Image: David Pierce / The Verge
For years, Kindle users have asked Amazon to make a color version of its e-reader. Now, the company is finally delivering: it’s launching the new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, a device that has a lot in common with the new Paperwhite, except instead of black and white it’s color all over. The Colorsoft costs $279.99 and is available for preorder today, with shipments starting October...

The next big release from A24 might also be its cutest to date. The studio just released the first trailer for The Legend of Ochi, a fantasy adventure that also happens to star a cute-as-hell creature to rival Grogu.
While it looks like a somewhat familiar “kid befriends mysterious creature” story, the film does have some interesting aspects, including not only the titular critter, but also what appears to be some kind of post-apocalyptic fantasy setting. Here’s the...
On a scorching 100-degree day, I find Henry Dorado’s booth at the Brooklyn Flea Market. Above, trains rattle loudly on the Manhattan Bridge. The outdoor market is a small but trendy event that fills this corner every weekend, rain or oppressive shine. Among the typical antique market wares — racks of thrifted clothes, watches behind glass, bins of art — Dorado’s booth stands out. People slow down, sometimes chuckle, take photos, and summon friends over to look at all this. A...

Serena Williams said she had a benign branchial cyst "the size of a small grapefruit" removed from her neck and "all is OK."
This all-in-one espresso machine delivers on quality with minimal fuss.

Romeo Doubs, Cole Kmet, and several rookies are among the Secret Superstars for Week 6 of the 2024 NFL season.
As the 2024 NFL season rolls merrily along, we start to see trends and tendencies we can rely on to take us through the rest of the campaign. We also see more unheralded players who have seized their opportunities to come out of seemingly nowhere and become major factors for their teams.
There were several such players in...

One of Adobe’s most notable experiments this year could help combat misinformation and ensure artists are credited for their work, no matter where it appears online or offline. Announced during the Sneaks segment at Adobe Max, Project “Know How’ is an in-development tool that can link ownership of an image or video across any online platform, and a multitude of...

Decades before we got married and started a family, my partner and I connected over a little Boxer pup named Charlie. We tossed a ball around, scrubbed him down when he got dirty, and took him for daily walks. It was a bonding experience — mediated entirely through the original Nintendo DS’s touchscreen. The tactile experience turned an otherwise simple game like Nintendogs, where the goal is to take care of virtual pets, into something...
By the time MGM v. Grokster hit the Supreme Court, the file-sharing industry had been roiling with lawsuits for years. The record labels had sued Napster in December 1999, baptizing the oughties with a spree of copyright litigation. But the public’s appetite for piracy didn’t go away, and for every Napster that was sued into oblivion, three more sprung up in its place. Their names are now commemorated only in the court decisions that eventually destroyed them: Aimster,...
Google's next major version of Android operating system is here - if you have a Pixel phone, that is.
On Tuesday, Google launched Android 15, making it available on Pixel devices (more precisely, Pixel 6 and newer).
Some of the biggest new features are focused on privacy and security. Theft Detection Lock, for example, is an interesting feature that uses AI smarts to detect when someone has snatched your phone and is running (biking, driving) away with it. In such cases, the phone will...
