Microsoft Office still crushes Google Docs – buy it today and get a free $50 Amazon gift card

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

Look, we’re not knocking you if you use Google Docs for free instead of paying $99.99 per year for a Microsoft Office 365 subscription. Google Docs is fine. That said, is $8.33 per month really such a steep price to pay for something that’s infinitely more capable and versatile than Google Docs? Not to mention the fact that by using Office instead, you’re not handing over all your personal data to Google. All we’re saying is you should probably think about it, and if you decide to switch there’s a killer deal right now on Amazon that gets you a free $50 Amazon gift card when you get a Microsoft Office 365 subscription!

Everything new coming to Disney+ in December 2019

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

While the size of its library may never match that of Netflix, Disney+ launched hundreds of classic Disney movies and shows that are sure to keep subscribers occupied for months to come. But if the 639 titles available at launch weren’t enough to impress you, you should know that Disney is adding more to its streaming service every week, from new episodes of its original series to movies and shows that weren’t ready at launch.

The biggest addition of the month has to be Thor: Ragnarok, which is coming to the service just a day after it leaves Netflix on December 4th. Slowly but surely, Disney+ is gathering all of the remaining MCU movies like Infinity Stones. We’ll also get the last 4 episodes of The Mandalorian before December ends.

Spider-Man might take his first step toward leaving the MCU as soon as next year

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

Spider-Man was at the center of a massive squabble between Disney and Sony over the summer, as the world learned the two giants were not able to reach a new understanding concerning Spider-Man’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel may have created the popular superhero and Disney might own Marvel, but the company sold the rights to Spider-Man to Sony many years ago. And that’s why Sony has been making so many Spider-Man films of its own — it will lose access to the character if it doesn’t make at least one new movie every few years. Thankfully, Sony and Disney inked a new deal and we already know that Spider-Man 3 will be included in MCU Phase 4, hitting cinemas on July 16th, 2021. But we might not have to wait that long to see Tom Holland’s Spider-Man take his first step toward leaving the MCU, as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man might appear in a non-MCU movie as soon as next fall.

Today’s Kindle closeout deal is better than anything from Black Friday

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

The Kindle Oasis E-reader is obviously the king of Kindles, but it’s also super expensive so it doesn’t sell anywhere near as well as the cheaper models. Well, it usually doesn’t sell as well, but we have a feeling that’s going to change on Wednesday. The previous-generation version of this $280 e-book reader is just as good as the new one but it has a different backlight, and it’s on sale right now on Amazon for an all-time low of $149.99. As if that wasn’t good enough, you also get a $5 credit when you activate it!

Kindle Oasis E-reader (Previous Generation – 9th) – Graphite, 7″ High-Resolution Display (300 p…: $149.99

Here are the key details from the product page:

  • Now available in Graphite or Champagne Gold.
  • Our largest, highest resolution display— 7” and 300 ppi, reads like real paper without glare, even in bright sunlight.
  • The first waterproof (IPX8) Kindle so you are free to read in even more places.
  • Now with Audible, listen to the world’s largest library of audiobooks. Pair with Bluetooth to take the story with you anytime, anywhere.
  • Thin and light ergonomic design with dedicated page turn buttons and adaptive front light so you can read even more comfortably for hours.
  • Keep reading—a single charge lasts weeks, not hours.
  • Enjoy twice the storage with 8 GB. Or choose 32 GB to hold more magazines, comics, newspapers, and audiobooks.
