Twentieth Century Fox launched a new app called Movie of the Day, which offers up to 70 percent discounts off the price of new and classic films. Every day, the app updates with a new movie deal, ranging “from blockblusters to acclaimed indies, and everything in between.” According to Apple, all transactions are done through iTunes, and movies will be saved to your iTunes library. All deals will only be available for 24 hours. New or classic movies will range in price from $5 to $10.

As of right now, the app is available for iOS devices only, but there are plans to expand to the Google Play Store. The Movie of the Day app also lets users browse a movie’s cast, check out user reviews, and read a synopsis on the film.

Launching today with X-Men: First Class for $7, the app will be available in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and France. Although the company hasn’t confirmed a list of movies to be displayed in the app, the app’s screenshot shows that movies like Rio 2, Fight Club, and The Fault in Our Stars will be discounted in the coming weeks.

While there are plenty of apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Crackle, and HBO Go that let you stream movies on your iPhone and iPad, they don’t offer suggestions to check out movies that are on sale.

In a joint effort between Fox and Apple, the Movie of the Day app will be a great way to help increase digital sales. If you’re looking for a new way to discover movies, you’ll want to download the Movie of the Day app. It’s free on the App Store here.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite vs. MediaTek Dimensity 9400: the race is on

Comparison of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors.

The flagship mobile silicon race has entered its next phase, one that will dictate the trajectory of Android hardware heading into 2025. Merely weeks after MediaTek wowed us with the Dimensity 9400 system on a chip (SoC), Qualcomm also pulled a surprise with the reveal of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

But this time around, the battle is not as straightforward. Where MediaTek is working closely with Arm and adopting its latest CPU and graphics innovations, Qualcomm has firmly put its faith in custom cores. These are no ordinary cores, but a next-gen iteration of the same fundamental tech stack that powers Windows on ARM laptops.

Discolored line on your new Kindle? You aren’t alone

Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition on a table.

The new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is the first full-color e-reader, and a lot of bookworms couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Sadly, many people are reporting the display has a discolored yellow area at the bottom of the screen. The problem is so widespread that the Kindle Colorsoft dropped to an average review rating of 2.6 out of 5, although it does remain the bestselling e-book reader at the moment.

The cause of the discoloration isn't clear. Some users report that it only happens when using the edge lighting feature on the Kindle, while others say it appeared after a software update. Either way, the yellowing is a problem, especially on a device that Amazon has marketed as being great for comics and graphic novel fans. It's hard to enjoy the colorwork in a comic when it's distorted.
