Netflix’s ’13 Reasons Why’ gets a second season

The controversial yet popular Netflix show 13 Reasons Why gets a second season. The show, which puts the spotlight on a teenager’s suicide, was confirmed on Twitter and through producer Selena Gomez’s Instagram. The story is based on the Jay Asher novel of the same name and tells the tale of Hannah Baker (played by Katherine Langford) who takes her life and leaves behind 13 tapes to explain why she did it. There is no word yet how many episodes and when the second season will air. The first season had 13 episodes in total.

A new Amazon Echo is rumoured to have a built-in touchscreen

Amazon Echo speakers so far don’t come with speakers, but that might change. A new leaked image showing up online shows a bigger device sporting a display. This new Echo is reportedly codenamed “Knight.” If it is a new device, it’ll be like an Alexa-enabled Fire tablet with a speaker. This feature could improve the capabilities of Amazon’s Echo line and its Alexa assistant. Evan Blass (@evleaks) showed off images of the rumoured device and it comes in black (as seen above) and white. The tech company hasn’t commented yet about this rumoured device but we might hear more about it soon enough.

Ubisoft introduces ‘Hungry Shark VR’ for Daydream

Deathly afraid of sharks? Or curious to see how these sea predators live? You can step into the life of a shark with this new Ubisoft game for Google’s Daydream platform. Called Hungry Shark, you play, well, a shark that goes up against human divers and jellyfish. There are different mission types including eating as much prey as you can, racing, or rescuing other sharks. And since it’s in virtual reality, you get a 360-degree look of the ocean setting, giving you so much room to swim around. The game costs US$4.99 and, of course, needs a Daydream headset to work.
