New York Times Goes Daily with DealBook

By Digital Trends Staff March 6, 2006

The New York Times today launched DealBook, a new online financial news report which brings up to the minute news and exclusives about Wall Street and corporate America to readers free of charge. The online report is an extension of the daily email newsletter of the same name which currently has over 160,000 subscribers.

The DealBook Web site, said the New York Times, will be updated weekdays throughout the market day. Features will include breaking news, analysis of market moving trends, links to relevant financial news from around the Web and dispatches from Times business reporters. The site and the newsletter are both offshoots of a column written in each Sunday’s Times by Andrew Ross Sorkin, the Times’s chief mergers and acquisitions reporter. Sorkin will also edit the online report.

“Like most folks on Wall Street and in corporate America, I spend an inordinate amount of time chasing down leads and trying to keep up with the constant onslaught of financial news,” said Sorkin in a statement. “DealBook brings together all of the most important and relevant news in one place, with the sensibility of a busy executive in mind.”

“The DealBook newsletter, which started in 2001, has gained a loyal and growing readership. This new service takes it to the next level,” added Leonard M. Apcar, editor in chief of NYTimes.com. “This is a dynamic new way for Wall Street power players to get the news they need to compete in today’s tough marketplace.”

Missed it last time? Dell’s $599 XPS 13 deal is back again

The Dell XPS 13, open on a table in front of a window.

With the arrival of the new Dell XPS 13, the previous-generation Dell XPS 13 was on sale for just $599 in January and February. We thought the offer for $200 off from the laptop's sticker price of $799 was gone, but it's back as part of a clearance sale from Dell. If you missed the chance at getting the device with a discount for the past couple of months, you wouldn't want to waste this opportunity. To make sure that you pocket the savings this time around, you better push through with the purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Dell XPS 13
The Dell XPS reset brings a new Dell XPS 13, but the previous-generation Dell XPS 13, which is powered by the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 8GB of RAM, is still a worthwhile purchase today. It's more than enough to tackle your daily tasks for work or school, and its 13.4-inch Full HD+ screen is small enough to maintain portability but sharp enough so you'll get a clear look at your projects. The laptop is also sleek and stylish, which makes it stand out among other options with the same size.

Best Verizon Fios new customer deals: Get 2GB/s internet in your home

Fios TV Package

For the longest time, all internet was run along the same copper cables that we've been using for our phone lines, and while that was revolutionary for the time, there is a limit to how fast they can go, which poses a problem. Luckily, the future is here in the form of fiber optic internet, which is a lot faster than copper. How much faster? Well, fiber lines can theoretically go up to several gigabytes a second, which completely blows out the internet speeds of yesteryear and is perfect for those who consume a lot of content online, especially at higher resolutions.

That said, fiber optic cables are not available everywhere, but if you're in a place where Verizon has deployed fiber optic cables, you can take advantage of these higher speeds from today. Luckily, you can easily right now to know whether you qualify for the higher speeds or not. If you do, we've collected all the Fios internet subscriptions and all the benefits available for new members.

I needed to buy a new MacBook. Here’s why I bought a power bank instead

Baseus Blade 2 65W power bank for laptops kept on a green couch.

I rely on a 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2020 for most of my work. Despite its age and being a base variant model, it continues to stack up well against my expectations for all these years.

Since MacBooks are known for longevity, the fact that my MacBook Pro still holds up well a few years later shouldn't sound surprising. However, the first signs of aging recently arrived in the form of a warning about the battery's plummeting health. I was already dreading the idea of having to replace what was otherwise a perfectly good laptop.
