Amazon says it will increase the price of its annual Amazon Prime membership program to $119 a year for US customers — an increase of $20. 2. Apple is officially killing its line of routers. Models including the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Time Capsule have been discontinued, and will only be available as long as supplies last. 3. Microsoft topped analyst estimates in its Q3 earnings. Microsoft's cloud businesses, the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and the Office 365 productivity suite, posted huge growth for the quarter. 4. Amazon posted $2 million in ad revenue. And experts think Facebook and Google should be worried. 5. Snap released a new version of its camera-enabled Spectacles on Thursday. The second-generation Spectacles will be water-proof, come in different colors, and have the ability to take still images — not just video. 6. Facebook will label all political ads in the UK as it tries to become more transparent in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. People will be able to see who political ads are targeted at, and how much they cost. 7. British politicians accused Facebook of concealing evidence when it gave testimony earlier this year. MPs thought policy executives had not been frank about the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting. 8. Intel shares soared after better-than-expected earnings. The "beat and raise" earnings report comes amid industry-wide concerns over the impact of recently-discovered security vulnerabilities in chips. 9. Pinterest is making it easier for people with different skin tones to find suitable products via search.
