A pair of adult tigers got a little too rough with their handler over the weekend during a fundraising event for Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Inc, in Moorpark, California. The company’s director, Patty Perry, was reportedly attacked by the two big cats, and Perry sustained injuries to her neck after the animals tackled her to the ground.

Needless to say, this was an alarming sight for others in attendance. Perry, who had entered the tigers’ cage, was wrapped up by one of the big cats before a second jumped on top. Others at the event were able to distract the animals and allow Perry to slip out of the enclosure.

One of the stars of the famous Spanish show that’s inspired by Denzel Washington’s Inside Man movie from a few years ago said back in October that season 4 is ready.

If you can’t wait to see how the Professor and his team will get out of their current predicament, we’ve got good and bad news for you.

Disney+ could close out 2019 with a seriously impressive 20 million subscribers

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

As much as everyone is talking about Disney+, which is a testament to how deeply it’s become embedded in popular culture (so much so that it’s become the subject of everything from Twitter memes to an entire episode of South Park), it’s hard to believe Disney only launched its new streaming offering about a month ago. Actually, less than a month ago, as of the time of this writing.

The Disney+ exclusive series that’s far and away gotten the most buzz so far is, as everyone knows by now, The Mandalorian — the final episode of which will arrive on the service on December 27. That will close out December as well as wrap up 2019 for the streamer, which will also coincide with a big milestone for Disney’s still awfully young service: Credit Suisse is predicting that by the end of this month, Disney will have roped in a whopping 20 million subscribers.

Apple Watch and AirPods sales are growing like crazy

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

While the bulk of Apple’s revenue still comes from the iPhone, revenue derived from the company’s suite of services and its burgeoning wearables division has increased dramatically over the past few years. Put simply, Apple has done an impressive job of diversifying its revenue stream so that its success from quarter to quarter no longer hinges exclusively on how quickly consumers flock to new iPhone models.

As it stands now, Apple’s wearables division — which includes the Apple Watch, Beats, and AirPods — accounts for about 10% of Apple’s quarterly revenue. That figure, though, is poised to increase dramatically as Apple Watch and AirPods sales are growing at a tremendous, if not unprecedented, clip.

NASA broke the SLS fuel tank, but swears it did it on purpose

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

NASA Space Launch System, the rocket system that will eventually provide the means for the space agency to send spacecraft and astronauts to the Moon, is a very big deal. The project has been in the works for a long time, and now that it’s finally starting to come together, NASA wants to make sure it’s ready for its time in the spotlight.

With that in mind, NASA recently put a version of the SLS liquid hydrogen fuel tank to the ultimate test, pushing it far beyond its designed limits. The test ultimately resulted in the failure of the tank, but that’s exactly what NASA says it was going for.

Google will roll out helpful new features for the Pixel in a regular ‘Feature Drop’

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Google’s Pixel phones get updates and new features much faster than other Android handsets thanks to them being a product of Google itself, which is something on Monday Google announced it’s going to start doubling down on in the form of a new regular “Feature Drop.” It’s a collection of new features for Pixel phones which will arrive on a regular basis as a complement to the normal monthly updates, and the first such “drop” is on the way this month — bringing with it new photo controls, better robocall-blocking via automatic call screening and much more.

In a Google blog post today, Group Product Manager Shenaz Zack said the new features will hit Pixel devices in the coming weeks — and to get the new features, all you have to do is make sure you’re running the latest version of Android and visit the Play Store to download the updated apps.

New video and photos of Tesla’s Cybertruck in the wild surface online

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

New photos of Tesla’s Cybertruck out in the wild help illustrate just how imposing Tesla’s all-electric pickup truck truly is. While the Cybertruck certainly looked gargantuan when it was unveiled last month, seeing it on the road and next to other vehicles provides us with a much better perspective of its size.

There haven’t been many Cybertruck sightings to date, with the first one being a short video of a Cybertruck quickly driving down a California street next to SpaceX’s headquarters. Most recently, Twitter user Cody Simms posted a photo of Tesla’s Cybertruck when he spotted one stopped at a red light close to Los Angeles International Airport.

PS5 isn’t even here, but there are already hints of a PS5 Pro

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The PlayStation 5 is one of the stars of the year when it comes to leaks, with Microsoft already losing a huge marketing battle to Sony — the PS5’s name is already official, making it a lot easier to stay on top of the news.

Both devices will feature nearly identical specs, including processor, graphics card, and storage, and each platform will try to lure in fans with a few unique perks. Microsoft, recent reports said, might have two Xbox Scarlett versions in stores next winter, including a more affordable model. Sony isn’t expected to go down the same route, but the company is supposedly planning a PS5 Pro release already.

Report: Apple may release six different iPhone 12 models in 2020

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Purchasing a new iPhone is far more complicated than it used to be. Back in the day, Apple would release a single new model and users simply had to decide what color they liked and how much storage they wanted. Over time, though, the number of iPhone options to choose from has ballooned. This year, for example, Apple released three new iPhone models with the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Max.

Looking ahead to next year, Apple’s iPhone 12 lineup may be the most expansive we’ve seen yet. According to a new research report from Rosenblatt analyst Jun Zhang (via AppleInsider), Apple next year might release six distinct iPhone 12 models. Zhang’s report is at odds with previous iPhone 12 rumors we’ve seen, but seeing as we’re still a good nine months away from the official iPhone 12 release, it’s too early to make a call in either direction.
