Rest of the Day: HBO Now Coming to Xbox One and 360
HBO wants to make it easier to watch the Sunday premiere of Game of Thrones. The shows are pirated with proverbial speed and range, and they’d rather you just watch a legal stream on any damn device. This weekend the channel is even free!
- HBO Wireless Streaming Service is finally available on Xbox One and Xbox 360 , just in time – of course! – for the premiere of Game of Thrones this Sunday. If you’re interested, you can try HBO Now’s free monthly trial. They really want you to watch the premiere and get hooked. [Ars Technica]
- Amazon Fire Lean Tablets are now available in more colors and more storage . For $ 49, you get an 8GB tablet with Fire OS, or you can upgrade to 16GB for $ 69. Not bad if you don’t mind getting stuck in the Amazon ecosystem. [The Next Web]
- Two-factor authentication is coming to PlayStation Network soon . Which is great considering that Sony is hacked more than a tree in the land of lumberjacks. [Polygon]
- Apple has released iOS 9.3.2 and OS X 10.11.5 to public beta testers . The only change you may notice is that you can now use night shift and low power mode at the same time. [9to5Mac]
- It looks like the Android N preview is gradually becoming available on non-Nexus devices. For starters, a developer preview is available for the Sony Xperia Z3, but it’s unclear when other phones might get it. [The Next Web]
