The Morning After: The best Black Friday deals of 2024

Engadget

Let's cut to the chase. The chaos of Black Friday sales is here, and for the last week, we've been detangling the best deals on some of the best tech. We've got guides for specific categories, like cameras, Apple gear, gaming and more, but we've also pulled together 50(ish) of the best discounts right here. Disney Hulu bundle one-year subscription is 36 (that's 96 off, but it's the ad-supported flavor) I already own four of those picks, so I'm regretting this Friday morning.

The Morning After: The FTC is challenging Microsoft's Activision buyout, again

Engadget

Just when Microsoft's buyout of Activision finally seemed to be near complete -- and we could focus on Google's legal tussles with the Department of Justice -- the Federal Trade Commission said it will revive its attempt to block the $69 billion deal in an adjudicative process. Microsoft received EU approval over the summer when the European Commission endorsed the deal as long as the tech giant could ensure "full compliance with commitments." Normally, the FTC drops its challenges to deals when efforts are lost in federal court. This move will not delay the deal, though in the worst-case scenario, Microsoft might have to sell off parts of the gaming company. Microsoft told Bloomberg it's not concerned about the move preventing its purchase.
