 DreamWorks Animation

Comcast's agreement to buy DreamWorks Animation could make it a much bigger player in entertainment, but it may take a while before it rivals Disney and its Pixar animation studio.

We also talk about whether any other tech company can catch up to Facebook and why Dyson's new hair dryer is worth a whopping $400.

The 3:59 gives you bite-size news and analysis about the top stories of the day, brought to you by CNET Executive Editor Roger Cheng (currently on parental leave), Senior Writer Ben Fox Rubin and Producer Bryan VanGelder.
