Quentin Tarantino Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: A Novel

Image
Quentin Tarantino ’s long-awaited first work of fiction — at once hilarious, delicious, and brutal — is the always surprising, sometimes  shocking new novel based on his Academy Award- winning film. RICK DALTON – Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick’s a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate or seal it? CLIFF BOOTH – Rick’s stunt double, and the most infamous man on any movie set because he’s the only one there who might have gotten away with murder. . . . SHARON TATE – She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream, and found it. Sharon’s salad days are now spent on Cielo Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills. CHARLES MANSON – The ex-con’s got a bunch of zonked-out hippies thinking he’s their spiritual leader, but he’d trade it all to be a rock ‘n’ roll star. HOLLYWOOD 1969 – YOU SHOULDA BEEN THERE #books #audiobooks

OnePlus 9 Pro

Image
 The company OnePlus launched its first smartphone in 2014 and immediately gained respect among power users, being part of the huge company with a leading position in the production of consumer electronics BBK Electronics. The smartphones of this company had similar technical parameters with the top models of the leading companies Samsung and Apple, but their cost was lower. And at the same time, OnePlus smartphones were not inferior in the build quality of premium materials, as well as an excellent shell. Therefore, OnePlus began to be called the flagship killer. In our opinion, these are perfectly balanced devices for their money, although in recent years they have become slightly inferior in terms of photos to the leaders of world brands! This year, the company decided to fix this problem, and therefore the upcoming flagships OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro will have a quad camera developed in conjunction with the Swedish company Hasselblad. The device will also receive sensors Son...

Apple iPad Air (2020) review: take it from the Pro Despite the higher cost, this iPad is the one to get

Image
  If you’re looking to get an iPad right now and can afford it, the new  $599 iPad Air   is the best tablet for most people. Apple has taken the design from the more expensive iPad Pro and brought it down to a more reasonable price point. It’s $100 more than it was last year, but in return this year’s iPad Air has a bigger, better screen and a faster (and very intriguing) processor. There are two basic ways a midrange device like the iPad Air usually gets made. Either it’s built up from the base model with key improvements (as happened with  last year’s iPad Air ) or it’s based on the premium, flagship version with some expensive parts stripped out or replaced. That’s this year’s iPad Air, and that switch means that it feels like a modern device instead of a throwback. It’s also one of the most enjoyable computing experiences you can get. iPadOS may not have the versatility of a full desktop OS like Windows or macOS, but it’s a lot more relaxing to use. iPad Air desi...

Get an Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet with Show Mode Dock for $70

Image
  It's a previ ous-gen refurb, but still a killer deal that includes a one-year warranty. Or get a new, current-gen Fire HD 10 for $100. This won't last long, so I'll make it quick: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon has the  refurbished seventh-generation Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet (32GB) with Show Mode Dock for $69.99 . That's the best price I've seen for this combo, though an earlier Woot deal was just $1 more. The current-gen  Fire HD 10  sells new by itself for $150, while the dock would run you around $38. Although this lacks a few of the bells and whistles afforded by the newer Fire HD 10, it's still an extremely good product. Although this lacks a few of the bells and whistles afforded by the newer Fire HD 10, it's still an extremely good product. (Read CNET's  Fire HD 10 2017 review  to learn more.) True, it's not a full-on Android tablet; you can't access the Google Play Store without some tinkering. And it uses Micro-USB...

Amazon is developing the Kindle Paperwhite 5 with Glowlight

Image
  Amazon is working on a Kindle Paperwhite 5 e-reader and and the big selling point are the amber LED lights, giving it a color temperature system. This is the same warm light system that that  Kindle Oasis 3  employs. Amazon should announce this new Kindle sometime before Prime Day, which is set to occur sometime in October and Black Friday, at the end of November. Although, due to supply chain constraints, due to COVID, it could be pushed back into early 2021. The Kindle Paperwhite line of e-readers are normally updated every every two or three years. The original Paperwhite came out in 2012 and the Paperwhite 2 came out in 2013. The Kindle Paperwhite 3 was released in 2015 and the  Kindle Paperwhite 4  came out in 2018. Every single Kindle Paperwhite model on the Amazon website is sold out, this includes the 8GB and 32GB models. All of the different color variants, such as black, plum, sage and blue color models are also not available. The soonest they will b...
