Apple’s new streaming TV service Apple TV+ has been live since Friday, and it’s certainly garnered widespread headlines since launch. Not all of it has been to Apple’s liking, as early reviews from critics widely panned Apple’s marquee original series like The Morning Show and For All Mankind. The reaction from viewers has been another story entirely, as it’s not hard at all to find viewers on social media raving about both of those as well as some of Apple’s other early offerings that comprise the Apple TV+ launch slate.

The difference between the critics’ score and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes for both of the two shows we mentioned above is also interesting — lopsided, to be more specific, with audiences rating the shows much higher than critics. That dynamic is most pronounced with The Morning Show, which at the time of this writing has a 59% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 95% rating from viewers.

Separate from the shows, meanwhile, there is actually one aspect of Apple’s new streamer which has actually come in for strong praise: The video quality of the shows themselves.

It’s hard to believe that we’re just a week out from the first mainstream Pokemon titles to ever hit a home console, but on November 15th, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield will launch around the world. It has been three years since Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon hit the 3DS, which explains why anticipation for the new titles is through the roof, and also why leaks have been springing at an accelerated pace over the past few weeks.

The 30 most-watched shows on Netflix and other major streamers in October

$%name The 30 most watched shows on Netflix and other major streamers in October by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The month of October was a jam-packed four weeks on the streaming content front, offering viewers everything from new episodes of Peaky Blinders on Netflix to HBO’s juicy family drama Succession which has proven to be catnip for media- and Hollywood-obsessed audiences. Meantime, audiences also had plenty of new-ish material that was still popular during the month which they spent plenty of their streaming hours on — series like Amazon’s fantasy drama Carnival Row, as well as Netflix staples like Breaking Bad and Stranger Things.

As we’ve reported in various ways for weeks now, November will totally up-end the streaming game on a permanent basis going forward with the launch on November 1 of Apple TV+ and the November 12 debut of Disney+ — two new streamers that bring a variety of strengths to the battle for eyeballs. Meantime, though, as we bring you on a weekly and monthly basis, it’s always interesting to see what viewers are spending most of their time on to binge-watch, and figures are now in showing what series were the most popular during October.

Voyager 2 escaped the Solar System, and it’s telling NASA the secrets of interstellar space

$%name Voyager 2 escaped the Solar System, and it’s telling NASA the secrets of interstellar space by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

NASA launched the Voyager 2 space probe in August of 1977. It’s since spent nearly four decades making its way out of the massive bubble called the heliosphere which is generated by the Sun and contains our entire Solar System. It accomplished that feat roughly a year ago, traveling into interstellar space and leaving our system for good.

This week, several new research papers were been published using data sent back by Voyager 2, and they reveal some interesting things about the border between our solar neighborhood and the vast expanse of interstellar space.

The iPhone SE 2 could be a massive hit for Apple

Posted on November 5, 2019November 5, 2019 by Authcom

$%name The iPhone SE 2 could be a massive hit for Apple by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

A new investor note from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo relays that Apple’s rumored iPhone SE 2 could prove to be far more popular than initially anticipated. In a note originally brought to light by MacRumors, Kuo claims that Apple’s iPhone SE successor could sell anywhere between 20 million and 30 million units this year. As far as a release date is concerned, it’s widely believed that we’ll see the iPhone SE 2 hit store shelves sometime in March of 2020. This launch window would make sense given that the original iPhone SE was released in March of 2016.

While the iPhone SE 2 could very well be immensely popular, it won’t necessarily be a device current iPhone SE owners are interested in. According to Kuo — who has a solid track record with respect to Apple rumors — the iPhone SE 2 will incorporate a 4.7-inch display along with Touch ID. By way of contrast, the original iPhone SE boasted a 4-inch display. In other words, the iPhone SE 2 will bear a form factor closer to the iPhone 8 than to the compact form factor that defined the original iPhone SE.

Samsung has reportedly finalized the Galaxy S11, and leaks aren’t far behind. While we’ve yet to see any Galaxy S11 schematics or renders hit the web, we keep hearing things about the phone’s camera. And from the looks of it, the camera might turn out to be the phone’s biggest selling point.

That’s hardly a surprise, as the leading smartphone vendors are fighting a fierce battle when it comes to camera quality. Apple, Google, and Huawei are just some of Samsung’s rivals engaged in these new camera wars. And Samsung’s Galaxy S11 might pack a few features that were not available on any of its predecessors, or on competing devices. A new rumor further emphasizes how valuable the camera experience is for Samsung, spoiling one major detail.

From now on, AT&T is going to be prohibited from making any official representations about its mobile data speeds and amounts “without disclosing any material restrictions on the speed or amount of data.”

That’s according to a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission announced on Tuesday, which also includes AT&T paying $60 million to resolve allegations that it misled millions of smartphone users. How? By charging them for supposedly unlimited data plans while also reducing their data speeds.

A black cat cursed the New York Giants on Monday Night Football

As the first half of the Monday Night Football contest between the 4-3 Dallas Cowboys and the 2-6 New York Giants came to a close, things were going shockingly well for New York. The team had only managed to score nine points, but their defense was performing better than expected, holding the occasionally explosive Cowboys offense to a single field goal.

Then, with a little over five minutes left in the half, everything changed. A black cat, the ultimate omen of bad luck, appeared on the field of the Giant’s home stadium, drawing cheers from the crowd and laughs from the commentators. The frightened feline was eventually corraled into one of the locker rooms, but it was all downhill from there for the Giants.

Netflix has officially been around long enough that certain older devices will no longer be supported by the service by the end of the year. This includes some Roku streamers, as we reported last month, but on Tuesday, we learned that certain Samsung smart TVs will be made obsolete by Netflix on December 1st as well.

On its support website, Samsung explains that technical limitations are to blame for the loss of Netflix. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn’t specify which of the smart TVs will be affected, so if you own a Samsung smart TV that you bought more than a year ago, you might want to keep an eye on Netflix’s list of supported devices. Perhaps it will be updated to include specific models of devices in the future as they become obsolete.

Angelina Jolie, along with Game of Thrones’ Richard Madden and Kit Harington, are among the high-profile actors with roles in Marvel’s upcoming The Eternals which has been filming in the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain. The movie, with its top-flight cast, is an important addition to the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and will introduce us to the group of heroes known as Eternals who’ve been protecting Earth for thousands of years.

The shooting was recently interrupted, however, thanks to a shocking discovery: An unexploded bomb was found on set, forcing the evacuation of the cast.
