Game of Thrones: Amazon error as the second episode is uploaded early:<\/strong> BBC News<\/a> reports that the latest episode of Game of Thrones was uploaded to Amazon early due to an “error”. The second instalment of the eighth and final series was not supposed to be broadcast until Sunday evening.

Amazon battles slowing Prime uptake in the UK:<\/strong> Hannah Boland at The Telegraph<\/a> reports that less than half a million Brits are expected to sign up to Amazon Prime this year, new research has suggested, as the tech giant battles growing competition from US rival Netflix. Estimates compiled by Ovum show that UK subscriber numbers for Amazon’s on-demand delivery and streaming service, Prime, have grown almost 400pc in the past seven years, from 1.1 million users in 2011 to 5.3 million in 2018.

The team spread across three continents, transcribes, annotates and analyses a portion of the voice recordings picked up by Alexa. Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon opens Key delivery to garages:<\/strong> Brian Heater at TechCrunch<\/a> reports that starting today, Amazon can drop off packages to your garage. Assuming, of course, you\u2019re cool with that. The massively multiplayer online retailer just expanded its Key delivery options to include garage, a feature it announced at the beginning of the year at CES. Customers will have to opt-in, of course. And the whole thing requires a specific kind of garage door that uses myQ technology. Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n
