WBD board says $31-per-share offer constitutes ‘company superior proposal’, triggering Netflix’s window to respond
Netflix has been given four days to beat a sweetened offer by Paramount Skydance for the assets of Warner Bros Discovery in the latest twist in the battle for control of the media giant.
In an announcement on Thursday afternoon, WBD said that its board had determined Paramount’s revised offer to be a “company superior proposal” compared with Netflix’s $82.7bn deal – triggering Netflix’s window to respond.

Only one team in the history of European competition had lost the first leg of a tie by a three-goal margin at home and advanced. Up in the City Ground directors’ box, Evangelos Marinakis, more than an interested party on that occasion, presumably had flashbacks of Olympiakos suffering a 4-1 home defeat by Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Conference League two years ago, only to triumph 6-1 in Serbia in the second leg.

Having left the pitch after last week’s first leg with supporters calling for the Austrian manager to be sacked in the morning, Maxence Lacroix’s first-half header made it a much more harmonious evening for Glasner and his side.
They spurned a number of opportunities to wrap up the victory over Zrinjski Mostar before Evann Guessand eventually did late on after being fortunate to escape from last week’s trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina with a 1-1 draw.

What ties these writers together other than their choice of subject is the fact that they're all millennial tastemakers whose sensibilities have swept themselves into the currents of the contemporary online zeitgeist .... They're all witty, intelligent critics who have become adept at diagnosing the cultural ills of contemporary society over the course of fairly brief tenures in the public eye, but they also all belong to the demographic perhaps most afflicted by the modern crisis of form: young elites who have been exposed since their teenage years to the full brunt of the internet content deluge, untethered from though perhaps yearning for a self-contained and tradition-rich literary scene in which to make their way. from Everybody Wants to be Thomas Bernhard [House House Magazine]

LOS ANGELES (ANP) - Warner Bros. Discovery noemt het nieuwste overnamebod van entertainment- en mediaconcern Paramount Skydance "superieur" aan dat van Netflix. Dat laatste streamingbedrijf krijgt nu vier werkdagen om met een nog beter bod te komen om Warner Bros over te nemen.
Warner Bros deed deze melding na de beoordeling van Paramounts bod van zo'n 111 miljard dollar op het hele bedrijf. Eerder gaf het bedrijf de voorkeur aan een samensmelting van zijn tv- en filmstudio's en streamingdienst met Netflix in een deal van bijna 83 miljard dollar, waarover ook een fusiedeal was gesloten.
Dat akkoord met Netflix staat in principe nog steeds. Maar omdat Paramount een superieur overnamevoorstel heeft gedaan, heeft Warner Bros volgens de afspraken het recht om die overeenkomst te verbreken.
Apple's iPhone and iPad running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 have become the first consumer mobile devices cleared for NATO-restricted classified data. No special software or settings are required. MacRumors reports: Apple's devices are the first and only consumer mobile products that have reached this government certification level after security testing and evaluation by the German government. iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 are now certified for use with classified data in all NATO nations.
In an announcement of the security clearance, Apple touted its security features: "Apple designs security into all of its products from the start, ensuring the most sophisticated protections are built in across hardware, software, and Apple silicon. This unique approach allows Apple users to benefit from industry-leading security protections such as best-in-class encryption, biometric authentication with Face ID, and groundbreaking features like Memory Integrity Enforcement. These same protections are now recognized as meeting stringent government and international security requirements, even for restricted data."
