Hell freezes over: Android and iOS apps are coming to Windows 10

%name Hell freezes over: Android and iOS apps are coming to Windows 10 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Microsoft is raising the white flag when it comes to developing its own mobile app ecosystem — instead, it’s going to let developers easily bring their iOS and Android apps over to Windows 10 without having to completely rebuild them from the ground up as they’ve had to do in the past. Essentially, Microsoft is letting developers reuse most of the same code that they used to write their apps for rival platforms and is giving them tools to help them optimize these apps for Windows.

Sorry, you can’t get the Apple Watch apps you want most

%name Sorry, you can’t get the Apple Watch apps you want most by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The Apple Watch ships with a variety of watch faces that users can swap on a whim – for example, I’m currently rocking the Mickey face you may have seen in some pictures and screenshots. But aside from the default options preloaded on the device, you can’t yet choose any other type of watch face. In fact, if you were hoping to see new watch faces begin popping up in the App Store, you’re completely out of luck for the time being, because Apple has banned apps that do nothing but tell time.

LMAO — These are the most hilarious autocorrect fails we’ve seen in a long time

%name LMAO    These are the most hilarious autocorrect fails weve seen in a long time by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s 2015. The iPhone was first introduced more than eight years ago, and development obviously began long before the phone was first unveiled in 2007. In all this time, however, Apple still hasn’t been able to master the gentle art of autocorrect, and autocorrect fails remain just as funny today as they were when the trend first began. In fact, they may have even gotten funnier with time, simply because there’s doesn’t seem to be any way the issue will ever be fixed.

%name SHOWDOWN: 5 LG G4 features are going to make iPhone users jealous by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

LG finally unveiled its next-generation flagship Android phone on Tuesday morning, though the LG G4 really wasn’t much of a surprise going into yesterday’s press conference. As it has done in the past, LG released a series of “teasers” leading up to the event that weren’t really teasers at all, but instead bits and pieces of LG’s official announcement. Gadget fans were still impressed once they finally saw the complete picture though, and there’s certainly plenty to be impressed by.

%name Thinking about buying the Apple Watch? Check out this outstanding review first by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you’re on the fence about the Apple Watch, there are certainly no shortage of reviews to help guide your decision. Still, the vast majority of reviews that came in the wake of Apple’s embargo being lifted a few weeks ago were either too short to be terribly informative or so exhaustively long that finding actual useful bits of information became something of a frustrating struggle.

But now that the Apple Watch has hit store shelves, a number of more enlightening takes on Apple’s new wearable have started to emerge. And standing out among a crowded room of somewhat identical reviews is what Ariel Adams of A Blog To Watch recently put together.
