 It's Thursday October 18th 2012. I'm Dan Seifert and I look good as a hologram. This is 90 seconds on the verge brought to you by Virgin Mobile. Google has announced an Android event for October 29th in New York City. The invitation's design is unmistakably a reference to the Google Now interface, but rumors also suggest at least one, if not multiple Nexus devices. Google's event will be held just hours before Microsoft's event in San Francisco. Cool move bro. Speaking of Google, a new Chromebook! The Samsung Series 3 has an 11.6 inch screen and one of the most powerful ARM processors we've ever seen. The netbook is back baby! Right? Sprint has reclaimed a majority stake in Clearwire. The number 3 US carrier once again has voting control over the company, whose vast reserves of spectrum will be vital to future high speed network upgrades. If you're currently joining us, Japanese carrier Softbank is in talks to purchase Sprint, meanwhile T-Mobile's parent, Deutsche Telekom is in talks to purchase Metro PCS, but then Sprint's room is in talks to purchase Metro PCS and don't forget about AT&T which tried to purchase T-Mobile, but then got blocked and, rankly, doesn't really want any of this to happen. And then, thank you, we've got Verizon over here. Finally, it's the end of an era. Newsweek is going all digital. The 79 year old publication will end its US print run on December 31st. All future editions will be released under the moniker Newsweek Global as a subscription based online magazine. Newsweek has said that the magazine has reached a quote, tipping point, where an all digital format makes more sense. And that's it for today's top stories. Tune in tomorrow for the aftermath.
