What tech deal should I expect to find on Black Friday?

Tons. And they've been curated really well on WIRED.com. We have a whole bunch of reporters looking all over the Internet for good deals. But there are always great electronic deals. You want to get a new TV, a new robot vacuum? Amazon, which is trying to pull you in, will often have its core products at deeply discounted prices. There's lots of stuff, lots of electronics that you can get.

Are Black Friday tech deals always offering soon-to-be data tech?

That's a conspiracy theory question. I actually don't think so. When you're buying televisions, yes, sometimes you're getting old models that have been deeply discounted, but it's a very competitive market and companies know that people like to shop on Black Friday. So, they do offer new stuff as well.

What are you buying on Black Friday?

Ha, good question. I do need a new Kindle, but I'm going to buy one of these, for my kids. Good time to do some Christmas shopping.

Author Thomas Friedman on how the Gaza war could end

GZERO

Listen: On this episode of the GZERO World Podcast, while the Gaza war rages on with no end in sight, Ian Bremmer and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman discuss how it could end, who is standing in the way, and what comes next. It may seem premature to talk about a resolution to this conflict, but Friedman argues that it is more important now than ever to map out a viable endgame. "Either we're going to go into 2024 with some really new ideas,” Friedman tells Ian, “or we're going back to 1947 with some really new weapons."

Israel-Hamas war: Who is responsible for Gaza's enormous civilian death toll?

2024 04 04 E0819 Quick Take CLEAN FINAL

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: On the back of the Israeli Defense Forces strike killing seven members of aid workers for the World Central Kitchen, their founder, Chef Jose Andres, is obviously very angry. The Israelis immediately apologized and took responsibility for the act. He says that this was intentionally targeting his workers. I have a hard time believing that the IDF would have wanted to kill his workers intentionally. Anyone that's saying the Israelis are only to blame for this—as well as the enormous civilian death toll in this war–I strongly disagree.
