Movie-streaming site Popcorn Time is back with a new web version, Amazon’s push for retails store is all but confirmed, and the best new site on the internet delivers Simpsons screengrabs and captions in an instant.
- Popcorn Time is back, until it gets shut down again. The free torrent-based streaming site’s latest iteration is a web version that delivers the same movies without the app, but it does require a browser plugin. [The Next Web]
- Bookstore drama! The mall CEO who said that Amazon was planning to launch more retail stores is back-peddling after the reports supposedly annoyed the retail giant, but Re/code is now reporting that the rumors are true. [Gizmodo]
- I don’t want to oversell this, but this may be the most important search engine to ever launch. Frinkiac is a searchable index of quotes from The Simpsons accompanied by screengrabs. The site is swamped with traffic at the moment, despite the fact that Disco Stu doesn’t advertise. [Wired]
- Apple has an event planned on March 15, and word on the street is that they’ll be launching new products. Nothing too riveting though; probably a new iPad Air, a watch update, and the rumored budget iPhone. [Gizmodo]
- Justin.tv, a pioneer in internet live-streaming, is coming back in the form of a Snapchat channel. Founder Justin Kan says he’ll be posting about his travels and his startups. [Variety]
