JustWatch shows you Disney+'s roster ahead of launch

Perhaps you're still mulling over whether or not to subscribe to Disney+ when it launches. You can get a quick peek into what past Disney-owned shows and films are coming through JustWatch. The website has a new Disney+ guide that shows most of the titles coming to Disney+ when it launches on November 12th. The movies and shows are arranged in an easy-to-browse, aesthetically pleasing way. And when you select a title, you'll get the general information like the synopsis of the movie or tv show, the cast, ratings from services like Rotten Tomatoes, a list of places where you can buy the content, and the runtime. 

If you want to create your list of programs to see, you have to create a JustWatch account. What isn't available there right now are the new shows or movies. You won't see info on The Mandalorian just yet.

Google confirms new orange Pixel 4 colour with Times Square billboard ad

We've seen a leak of the rumoured orange version of the Pixel 4. But now Google itself confirms the existence of the new Pixel 4 colour. It does so in the most obvious way it could: through a billboard on Times Square. Aside from learning about the new colour, we now know that the Pixel 4 is coming on October 15th. What isn't clear at the moment is if this new colour will be available for both the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL. The other colour options of the Pixel we've seen going around are black and white, which we have seen in past models.

Facebook is reportedly working on a device to take on the Apple TV

We reported earlier last month that Facebook has been in talks with streaming services for a streaming device it's creating. And we now have more details on said product. Variety adds on the report that this Portal device could run a modified version of Android's mobile operating system instead of the purpose-built Android TV OS. It'll also come with a camera for video calls, far-field microphones to detect audio, and built-in speakers. The device will stream content from the likes of Disney and Netflix. And it's going to take on the likes of the Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. Facebook is reportedly even working on some Apple Animoji-like features, allowing you to put a virtual mask over your face right from your television. 

Facebook has been keeping this project secret, going to lengths of using a shell company to submit all the necessary regulatory filings to the FCC. We still ask whether people will be keen to use a Facebook device with a camera in their living room considering Facebook's rep in the privacy space. But for those interested in this product, it looks like it might be coming sooner than we think.
