Media: Bob Marley’s Legend album for $0.99, new Maroon 5 song free, Fandango movie ticket $7, more

It’s really, really hard to find anyone who dislikes this album. In fact, I bet that many of you had Bob Marley’s Legend album on CD or even (gasp!) cassette. I’m also willing to bet that tape is now lost and the CD is scratched to holy hell.

Maroon 5 may or may not be your cup of tea, but since you’re reading this site I’m going to assume you’re a cheapskate and appreciate free tunes. Click over to this Kia promo page and simply hit the download button to grab a free copy of “Animals” from Maroon 5’s new album, “V.” Get the rest of the album on iTunes, Amazon, or Google Play.

Get a $50 Amazon credit and 6 months of Google Play w/ a Sonos PLAY:3 or PLAY:5 wireless speaker

HP 11.6″ Chromebook LTE model available from Best Buy for $249 ($30 cheaper than the Wi-Fi model)

From 9to5Google:

If you’re looking to give Google’s ChromeOS a try, the 11.6″ HP LTE-equiped Chromebook may be your best option right now. The non-LTE version of the Chromebook usually sells for $279, but the LTE model is actually available now for only $249. The connectivity isn’t the only difference between the two, either. The LTE model comes with 16 GB of flash storage while the more expensive, less-capable version uses a standard hard drive of the same size.

Both come with 2 GB of RAM, a 1.7 GHz Samsung Exynos processor, built-in webcam, support for 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and weigh only 2.3 pounds. Both models are also available in a range of colors. Obviously, the connectivity differs between the two, as the LTE model comes with support for Verizon’s 4G LTE network.

Google offering 25% off select Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 accessories

For a limited time only, Google is offering 25% off of select Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 accessories on the Play Store. Unfortunately not every accessory qualifies for the deal, but many of the most popular ones do. The Nexus 7 sleeve, case, and folio are all available for 25% percent off, while the Nexus 5 bumper and QuickCover qualify for the offer.

Of course, even with the 25% discount, all of these accessories are still considerably more expensive than they should be. You can find much better cases and folios, for both the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, a lot cheaper on Amazon. If you want official, Google/LG made products, however, than this deal is certainly nothing to complain about.
