Daily Links for Thursday, November 4,  2016:

A Literary look at the last time the Cubs won the World Series (Literary Hub) I live just outside of Chicago, so the Cubs win is a big topic of conversation around here. 🙂 This piece takes an interesting approach.

Another 40 million people bolt from Microsoft’s browsers as mass exodus continues (PC World) Does anyone still use Microsoft browsers?

Android apps will soon be able to offer cheaper, introductory subscription prices (The Verge) How many apps would do better in terms of sales if they could offer cheap trials? I know I would try more apps that way….

Adobe’s Project VoCo lets you edit speech as easily as text (Techcrunch) Wow, this is interesting, but it is also very scary in terms of potential harm.

(A note on Daily Deals: All prices current at the time of posting and subject to change. Most items marked Daily Deals are good for only the day posted.

Many large promotions have discount pricing that is set by the publisher. This usually means that titles can be found at a discount price across most platforms (with iTunes sometimes being the exception). If you have a favorite retailer you like to patronize, check the title on that website. There is a good chance that they will be matching the sale price.)

Daily Links are interesting links I discover as I go about my online day. The frequency and number of links posted depend upon the daily news. I also post other, different links of interest on Twitter, Facebook, and on the Google Plus eBook Evangelist Page.
