OMG: The Sony noise cancelling headphones people go crazy for are still down to their Prime Day price
Oops! It looks like someone forgot to tell Sony that Prime Day was only two days this year, because one of the company’s best Prime Day deals is still available on Amazon. That’s right, it’s the killer sale on brand new Sony WH1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones! These are by far the best noise cancelling headphones on the planet — even better than the brand new $400 model that Bose just recently released. The best comes at a price though, and the WH1000XM3 headphones typically sell for $350. Head over to Amazon right now though, and you can still snag a pair for the Prime Day 2019 price of $298! That matches a 2019-low on Amazon, and it’s a fantastic price for these class-leading headphones. You had better hurry though, because there’s no telling when Sony might finally come to its senses and end this great Prime Day deal!

Leak says the Galaxy Note 10 won’t get Qualcomm’s powerful new Snapdragon processor
We saw two brand new mobile chips emerge in a matter of days. The Snapdragon 855 Plus mobile platform, an upgraded 855 version, was formally introduced on Monday. The Exynos 9825, a variation of the Exynos 9820, was then spotted in benchmark tests for the Galaxy Note 10. On both occasions, we wondered whether Samsung’s next flagship could get the 855 Plus model, but a new report says that’s not in the cards for the handset.

Apple’s rivalry with Spotify escalates as it begins funding exclusive podcasts
Apple is reportedly planning to open up a whole new front on its ongoing content war with Spotify soon.
Spotify certainly got the jump on Apple with the launch of its music streaming service that’s now the dominant player in the space, with a paid subscriber base of 100 million as of April compared to 60 million for Apple Music which came late to the party. However, Apple has quickly built a solid base of paying users for its comparable streaming music service — and now, in the wake of Spotify not being shy at all about touting a massive investment into podcasts as a way to differentiate its offering, Apple is about to do the same.

Tesla finally did something about its convoluted lineup
Tesla’s product line has become a bit convoluted in recent months, which is somewhat odd given that the company only sells three types of vehicles. For reasons that are difficult to explain, Tesla in 2019 made a habit of tweaking its pricing and configuration options so frequently as to create a muddled mess out of its product line. This past March, for example, Tesla announced that it would backtrack on its plan to close company stores and that vehicle pricing, as a result, would go up by 3%. In short, Tesla this year made things unnecessarily complex for prospective Tesla buyers.
In light of that, Tesla finally seems to be doing something to right the ship. As reported by Reuters, Tesla this week quietly lowered the price on the Model 3 and raised the price on the Model X and Model S. More importantly, Tesla will be simplifying its lineup as to make it more digestible.

Hurting an insect may force it to live in agony for the rest of its life
If your first instinct upon noticing a pesky fly buzzing around your person is to swat at it in the hopes of sending it elsewhere or even killing it, well, you’re pretty normal. We don’t often think twice when it comes to dispatching insects we find in our homes or even ones that get too close when spending time outdoors, but a new study published in Science Advances suggests that failing to kill an insect and merely injuring it may cause it to live the rest of its days in agony.
It’s tempting to imagine that life forms like insects don’t “feel” pain, thereby absolving us from any guilt we might feel in slapping a fly or stepping on an ant, but that way of thinking isn’t entirely accurate.
