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

When we say “holy moly, you had better hurry up if you want to grab this AirPods 2 deal,” we mean it in sincerest way imaginable. Discounted Apple AirPods 2 with Wireless Charging Case were the first AirPods to sell out when Amazon discounted them alongside regular AirPods 2 and AirPods Pro for Black Friday 2019 and Cyber Monday 2019. Now, for Cyber Week, Amazon has somehow managed to get them back in stock! Shipping times will begin to slip almost immediately since Amazon is offering a huge $30 discount again, but definitely order them anyway. Remember, we ordered new AirPods when the shipping estimate said 1-2 months and we received them in less than a week!

Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case (Latest Model): $169.98

Here are the highlights from the product page:

  • Automatically on, automatically connected

Best Buy’s massive Cyber Week sale is still going strong – here are the 10 best deals

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

If we’re being perfectly honest, there’s no question that among all the top retailers in the country, Amazon had the best online Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year. There was just no way for other retailers to keep up with the millions of discounts Amazon was offering on just about every product you can imagine. What’s more, many of the best-selling deals we covered on Cyber Monday are still available during Cyber Week, like the deepest discounts we’ve seen all year on top-selling TVs, more big discounts on laptops, a secret sale that slashes the Apple Watch Series 5 to its lowest price ever (additional discount applied at checkout), the best Instant Pot deals of 2019, several discounts on Sonos speakers, and more. Heck, Amazon is even running deals right now that were missing on Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2019, like deep discounts on Philips Hue bulbs and Philips Hue bundles.

Of course, just because Amazon has the best deals we’ve come across doesn’t mean it’s the only online store you should check out during Cyber Week. Best Buy is also running a massive Cyber Week sale all week long and it’s packed full of killer deals on popular products. You can shop the entire sale right here, but first be sure to check out our roundup below of the 10 best Cyber Week deals we could find in Best Buy’s big blowout.

You can finally take the first step toward buying a PlayStation 5

%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 hottest gadgets right now when it comes to rumors and leaks, but the console doesn’t actually exist. We’ve only seen the development kit in several leaks, while Sony revealed several details about the console’s hardware in recent months. In other words, you can’t buy the PS5 in stores right now, and you can preorder it either — there is a way to make your own PS5, which is, essentially, a high-end gaming PC. That said, some retailers are already taking PS5 preorders, while others will let you sign up for notifications to find out when sales start. Best Buy, it turns out, is one of them, as the company put up a registration page for PlayStation 5 preorder news.

The processor that will power the Galaxy S11 and Pixel 5 is official – everything you need to know

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

With 2019 almost over, we don’t have any significant smartphone announcements left, as most vendors release new products in time for the busy holiday shopping season that starts in early November, several weeks ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The next batch of flagships will drop in February, before and during the upcoming Mobile World Congress edition in Spain. Phones like the Galaxy S11 series, the next Galaxy Fold generation, or the OnePlus 8 have already appeared in several reports this fall, with Samsung’s next Galaxy S model being the king of leaks so far. While we’ll have to wait a few more months for Samsung to announce the Galaxy S11 series, we do have one certain thing. The Snapdragon 865, the processor that will power many of next year’s Android flagship, is now official — and it doesn’t come with 5G on board.

Piece of Boeing airliner breaks loose, lands in residential neighborhood

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

Lots of people struggle with a fear of flying, but normally if you’re a little bit freaked out by the thought of a massive commercial jet, you’re actually on that jet. Folks in a residential neighborhood in Milton, Massachusettes, now have an entirely different reason to fear Boeing jets, and it has nothing to do with traveling on them.

As AP reports, a pilot flying a Boeing plane operated by Delta reported hearing “a loud noise” as the aircraft was making its way down to Logan Airport on a flight from Paris. That noise, as it turns out, was an inflatable evacuation slide breaking free from the plane. It landed in the middle of a back yard, just feet from residents who were working in their yard.

‘Marvel’s Spider-Man’ sequel could hit PS5 even sooner than we expected

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

The first Spider-Man game from Insomniac turned out to be a massive success for the PlayStation 4, and it will likely be a hit on the console’s successor next year. The PS5 is expected to be backward compatible, and will run plenty of PS4 games, especially first-party games coming directly from Sony and its subsidiaries.

But things are going to get even better for PS5 early adopters that loved the game. That’s because the sequel is already in the works and will launch sooner than we thought, according to an insider. Before you get too excited, however, you should know the game won’t be available next November when the PS5 hits stores.

Genius sues Google over copied song lyrics after hiding another secret code to prove it

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

Over the summer, the Genius lyrics website made a slew of headlines over its accusation that Google has been just flat-out lifting song lyrics from its site and plopping them right onto a search results page, making it so that you don’t even have to click through to the Genius website anymore.

How did Genius become certain of that discovery? By hiding a Morse code message within some of the lyrics on its own site, the code being a series of curly and straight apostrophes which, when assembled, correspond to the Morse code for the word “REDHANDED” (as in, Google has been caught red-handed). Sure enough, those apostrophes showed up in Google results. But here’s the thing, though. After confronting Google with that evidence as described in a lawsuit Genius filed today against the search giant (with Genius describing that evidence as Watermark #1), Genius then decided to hide a second secret code (Watermark #2) inside its lyrics to further prove the lyrics are being copied.

Samsung’s next Galaxy Fold will have a hinge you can barely see

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

As 2019 draws to a close and Samsung winds down its first year of offering foldable smartphones as a viable commercial product, rumors and leaks are already starting to mount about what the South Korea-based tech giant is planning along these same lines for 2020 and beyond. For example, among the things we already definitely know is that Samsung is already set on releasing at least one and most likely two new foldable smartphones next year — likely a direct successor to the Galaxy Fold that’s being informally referred to as the Galaxy Fold 2, as well as a foldable clamshell smartphone.

Meanwhile, as we noted earlier on Tuesday, Samsung may also address one of the biggest obstacles between customers and this year’s Galaxy Fold, besides the unusual form factor: The steep price tag. According to The Korea Herald, the new foldable handset Samsung is prepping will likely cost around $845 in Korea next year. And, beyond that, Samsung may also bring something entirely new to the design next year as well.

Japan’s asteroid probe just fired up its engine for a historic return to Earth

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

Japan’s Hayabusa2 asteroid probe has already accomplished a lot. The spacecraft successfully traveled to its target, a space rock known as Ryugu, where it entered orbit and completed some daring sample-gathering maneuvers. Earlier this month, the probe departed from the asteroid and today it begins its journey back to Earth.

As Space.com reports, Hayabusa2 recently fired up its ion propulsion system in a brief test to ensure it’s ready to push the spacecraft back home. The test went smoothly, and today the Japanese space program JAXA will hit the throttle.
