FTC finds that Cambridge Analytica purposefully deceived Facebook users

%name FTC finds that Cambridge Analytica purposefully deceived Facebook users by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Early last year, Facebook was rocked by a scandal involving Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm that stealthily acquired personal information about Facebook users as part of a concerted effort to target voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The scandal catalyzed a nationwide discussion about online privacy and birthed the growing narrative that tech companies like Facebook wield too much power.

Nearly two years after the scandal first made headlines, the FTC today issued its formal opinion on the matter, noting that Cambridge Analytica deceived consumers with respect to the way it collected and used the personal information it gathered from Facebook users.

Hubble snaps ridiculously gorgeous shot of distant galaxy

%name Hubble snaps ridiculously gorgeous shot of distant galaxy by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When astronomers peer deep into space, what they see is what they get. Humans have developed some seriously impressive imaging tools for observing faraway objects in space, but capturing images of something like a distant galaxy from multiple angles is impossible.

Depending on the angle of a galaxy in relation to our planet, scientists may only see a blurry side view. Others show their face in stunning detail, and the galaxy known as NGC 5468 most definitely falls into the latter group. As NASA shows off in a new showcase, the Hubble Space Telescope snapped an absolutely lovely photo of the swirling mass of stars.

PS5 could take virtual reality gaming to the next level with this brilliant device

%name PS5 could take virtual reality gaming to the next level with this brilliant device by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Information about Sony’s PS5 has been trickling out ever since lead systems architect Mark Cerny was interviewed by Wired back in April, but there’s still plenty we don’t know. For example, while Cerny confirmed that all current versions of the PlayStation VR headset will be compatible with the next-gen console, we don’t know what the company’s plans are for the future of the product. Will a PSVR 2 be ready in time for the launch of the PS5 next holiday season? Is a true sequel to the successful virtual reality headset even actually in the works?

We won’t know for sure until next year, but LetsGoDigital just discovered a recently published patent from Sony for an “actuator apparatus” that appears to be one piece of an entirely new VR system.
