Tik Tok ban, New theater deal, Emmy nominations, and the NASA splashdown- TNCS Ep 94
Quote from Steve Vingua on August 5, 2020, 8:27 amIn this week’s episode we start with entertainment news by discussing the new deal shortening the theatrical release window for upcoming movies. The Emmy nominations were released and we predict a very weird virtual show. Nintendo has a leak of old source code that gives an unprecedented look at the history of video games. In tech news, we cover the potential U.S. Tik Tok ban and the potential Microsoft buyout. CES 2021 is cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. Amazon gets the FCC approval to move forward with their satellite internet plans and NASA astronauts splash down in the successful SpaceX round-trip to the International Space Station and back.
