Sony Interactive Entertainment Benelux’s PR firm BAAS Amsterdam says that PS5 is still on track to launch this holiday season.
Recent reports have suggested that the coronavirus pandemic will lead to delays for both the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Both Sony and Microsoft have reiterated in recent days that their consoles are still on track to launch in 2020.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The world is in a state of crisis, and there are countless concerns more pressing than the release dates of two video game consoles, but we all need something to fill our brains with other than the doom and gloom of the daily news. As such, many gaming fans have been questioning whether or not the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 will still be able to hit their holiday launch windows, and, at least for now, the answer is yes.

Microsoft reaffirmed its plans to launch the Xbox Series X this holiday season in a breakdown of technical specs and internal components on Monday. Those plans could always change in the weeks and months to come, but the plan is still to have the next-gen console out by the end of the year. As for Sony, we still haven’t heard much about the PS5 (not yet, anyway), but we now have evidence the console is still set to arrive in 2020.

China says it found a flu drug that can treat coronavirus

Posted on March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 by Authcom

$%name China says it found a flu drug that can treat coronavirus by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Japanese flu drug favipiravir is showing promise in treating symptoms of coronavirus infection and shortening the time the virus remains active in an infected person.
Reports out of China suggest the drug is safe and effective, improving the lung condition of patients and helping them rid their bodies of the virus.
Japanese health officials are taking a more measured approach, noting that the drug isn’t as effective in severe cases.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The race is on to find a safe and effective treatment to help combat the spread of the novel coronavirus. New COVID-19 cases are popping up all over the globe, and while the elderly and those with underlying health conditions are the most vulnerable, none of us can afford to take this situation lightly.

Now, a flu medication from Japan may be a good option for curbing the spread of the virus by shortening the time that people remain infected. Doctors in China say the drug, called favipiravir (branded Avigan), is effective in treating coronavirus infections and dramatically shortens the time a person is sick.

Sony’s $230 AirPods Pro-killers are down to $140, but only if you hurry

Posted on March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 by Authcom

$%name Sony’s $230 AirPods Pro killers are down to $140, but only if you hurry by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Apple’s AirPods Pro are by far the most popular active noise cancelling earbuds on the market right now, but that doesn’t necessarily make them the best.
Instead, many experts agree that Sony’s WF-1000XM3 True Wireless ANC Earbuds offer superior sound quality as well as better noise cancelling performance.
Both options cost around the same amount, but Amazon is running a deal right now on renewed WF-1000XM3 earphones that slashes the price all the way down to just $139.99.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

There’s really no question whatsoever that Apple’s AirPods Pro are the best-selling true wireless earbuds out there with active noise cancelling (ANC) technology. In fact, we sincerely doubt that any other cord-free ANC earbuds even come close to selling as well as Apple’s. They’re fantastic headphones and if you want a pair, now is a great time to pick them up because they’re on sale at Amazon at the lowest price ever. On the other hand, if you don’t mind going with a less trendy brand, you won’t believe the killer deal Amazon is offering right now on Sony earbuds that are actually even better.

Sony WF-1000XM3 True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds are widely regarded as the best in the business, offering superior sound quality and even better ANC technology than AirPods Pro, plus many people find them to be even more comfortable to wear. As is almost always the case though, the best comes at a price and Sony’s awesome ANC earbuds are almost as expensive as AirPods Pro.

WF-1000XM3 retail for $230 and that’s what you’ll pay if you pick up a new pair right now on Amazon or from any other retailer that carries them. Before you do that, however, there’s another option you really should check out. Head over to Amazon right now and you’ll find renewed Sony WF-1000XM3 earbuds on sale for just $139.99! That’s an all-time low price by a fairly wide margin, and they’re guaranteed to look and function like new or you can return them within 90 days for a full refund. That’s a crazy deal that you definitely don’t want to miss, but inventory is obviously limited so grab a pair now before it’s too late.

Sony WF-1000XM3 True Wireless Bluetooth Noise Canceling in-Ear Headphones Black (Renewed): $139.99

Here are the key details from Amazon:

24bit Audio signal processing delivers dramatically improved sound quality
Battery life up to 24 hours with carrying case (with 10min quick charge for 90min of play time)
Truly wireless design with uninterrupted L/R simultaneous Bluetooth transmission
Alexa enabled for voice access to music, information, and more. Activate with a simple touch.
Smart listening by adaptive sound control automatically switches to ambient sound mode based on your activity

Sony WF-1000XM3 True Wireless Bluetooth Noise Canceling in-Ear Headphones Black (Renewed): $139.99

Of note, if you want to spend even less money you can get a brand new pair of $200 Sony WF-1000XBM1 ANC earbuds for just $91. That’s no typo… $91!

Stunning iPhone 12 video is our best look yet at Apple’s leaked design

Posted on March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 by Authcom

$%name Stunning iPhone 12 video is our best look yet at Apple’s leaked design by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

It’s unclear if Apple’s iPhone 12 release date is in jeopardy due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, but the new flagship iPhone series should be announced in September regardless of whether or not COVID-19 delays the release.
Despite the fact that we still have 6 months left to wait before the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro phones are made official, Apple’s overhauled design has already leaked.
We have seen several graphic artists attempt to give us visualizations of what the iPhone 12 will look like based on those leaks, and now a newly published video likely gives us our best look yet at the unreleased iPhone 12 series.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Like every other major consumer electronics company out there, Apple is taking a bit hit due to the novel coronavirus outbreak that originated in Wuhan, China. New product releases large and small are seeing delays as a result of limited manufacturing capabilities in China, and device shortages are already plaguing some popular products that have already been released. China is already beginning to get back on track despite the continued spread of COVID-19, but things continue to change on a minute-by-minute basis. There is no end in sight to the outbreak, and things haven’t even really begun to escalate yet in the United States.

We’re all in store for a rough few months ahead, and there are obviously far more important things on people’s minds than the release of Apple’s upcoming new iPhone 12 series smartphones. That said, the iPhone 12 lineup is the most hotly anticipated new smartphone series that’s set to debut this year, and it’s also a big deal because it’s the first new iPhone series in three years that will get a major design overhauled. We still have a long wait ahead before Apple finally announces its new iPhones and shows off the new design, but a new video shows off what might be the most accurate representation yet of the new iPhone 12 design that insiders have leaked.

Coronavirus-killing UV-C smartphone sanitizers are back on Amazon

Posted on March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 by Authcom

$%name Coronavirus killing UV C smartphone sanitizers are back on Amazon by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has begun to spread throughout the United States, leading to a rush on certain products in supermarkets across the country.
Things like Purell hand sanitizer, Lysol spray, and Clorox wipes are almost impossible to find as people look to stock up on anything that can kill the novel coronavirus on surfaces and on their hands.
Regular hand soap is more than good enough to kill and remove coronaviruses from your hands, but what do you do about your smartphone?
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

People across the United States are finally coming to terms with the reality that the novel coronavirus outbreak in the country is going to get significantly worse before it starts to get any better. Retail chains, malls, and movie theaters around the US are closing and restaurants will be carryout-only in an effort to force social distancing, which is the only way to slow the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, experts suggest that it’s already far too late and millions of people may already be infected despite not yet presenting any symptoms.

Things like Purell, Lysol spray, Clorox wipes, and other disinfectants are already sold out everywhere and there’s no telling if or when they might be back in stock. Luckily, regular old handsoap is more than enough to kill COVID-19 as long as you wash your hands thoroughly and avoid touching your face. The period of time in between hand washings it crucial though, and so many people fail to realize how likely viruses like the novel coronavirus are to come off your hands and stick to your smartphone while you use it.

Products like Clorox wipes are great for cleaning your phone, but only if you can find any. Lucky for you, there’s another way to kill the novel coronavirus on your phone and two different options are back in stock right now on Amazon.

HoMedics UV-Clean Phone Sanitizer | Faster Than Any UV Sanitizer On The Market | Kills Up to 99…: $79.99

The HoMedics UV-Clean Phone Sanitizer is one example of a device that uses UV-C light to kill germs and viruses on your smartphone. In case you’re wondering, UV-C is indeed confirmed to kill COVID-19. This model and another device — the Eshake UV Cell Phone Cleaner — are two options that are both back in stock right now on Amazon, but there’s no way they’ll be around for much longer.

UV-C sanitizers have been selling out left and right, and we don’t expect these two models to be the exception. Grab one now while you still can, and remember to order even as shipping estimates inevitably start to slip. After all, better to receive one of these devices in a few weeks than not at all. In the meantime, be as careful as you can, wash your hands constantly, and pick up a box of alcohol wipes to use on your smartphone for now.

$%name Apple launches new MacBook Air with $100 price cut and a new keyboard that might not break by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Apple has quietly updated the MacBook Air, announcing a few important upgrades for one of the most popular laptop lines in the world.
The 2020 MacBook Air is $100 cheaper than before, starting at $999 for the 256GB version.
Other welcome upgrades include the new Magic Keyboard (that might not break like the old one), 10th-gen Intel Core processors, and Intel Iris Plus graphics that support external displays with resolution up to 6K.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Apple may have canceled its March media event because of the coronavirus pandemic, but the company this week launched several new products. We’re looking at the new Powerbeats4 earphones, the brand new 2020 iPad Pro series, plus the MacBook Air refresh we expected to see from the company. And the new Air checks off a few important boxes by addressing keyboard issues, increasing base storage, and even lowering the price.

$%name Apple announces new iPad Pro with trackpad support and LiDAR Scanner by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Apple announced a brand new iPad Pro model via a press release on its website on Wednesday.
The 2020 iPad Pro features a faster A12Z Bionic chip, an Ultra Wide rear camera, studio-quality mics, a LiDAR Scanner, and trackpad support.
The new iPad Pro is available to order today on apple.com and in the Apple Store app, starting at $799 for the 11-inch model and $999 for the 12.9-inch model.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Apple was once rumored to be holding a media event this spring to unveil new hardware, but the coronavirus made short work of those plans. There was no way Apple was going to invite hundreds of journalists inside the Steve Jobs Theater in the middle of March, so instead, the company dropped two press releases on Wednesday morning. One was to announce the new MacBook Air, and the other revealed a brand new iPad Pro model.

There are a host of upgrades present on the 2020 iPad Pro, including the new A12Z Bionic chip, which gives the iPad Pro the highest performance in any iPad to date. Apple says the battery lasts up to 10 hours, the Wi-Fi connectivity is faster than ever, and the gigabit-class LTE is 60% faster than before.

Fire TV Stick is just $23 in Amazon’s surprise sale

Posted on March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 by Authcom

$%name Fire TV Stick is just $23 in Amazon’s surprise sale by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The Fire TV Stick and Echo Dot are Amazon’s two best-selling hardware devices of all time, which makes sense since they’re each the most affordable option in their respective product lines.
At just $40, the Fire TV Stick is already one of the most affordable ways to stream all of your favorite content to any TV.
Despite how affordable the device already is, Amazon just kicked off a surprise sale on its site that slashes the price all the way down to $22.99 — but there’s a catch.
Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

There are so many different options out there for people who want to add a streaming media player to their TV. Even “smart TVs” with built-in apps almost always need a separate streaming media player, since proprietary smart TV platforms rarely support all the different streaming services people want to use. Sure you can stream movies and shows from big services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu, but what about all the other great services out there like Apple TV+, Disney+, and more? What about all the free streaming services we recently told you about? And what about upcoming new services like HBO Max?

All those services and more are available on devices like the Fire TV Stick from Amazon, and now is the perfect time to buy one if you’re a Prime member. Anyone else will have to pay the normal price of $40, though that’s already a pretty fantastic deal considering how much some rival devices cost. But if you subscribe to Amazon Prime, you can pick up a brand new Fire TV Stick right now for just $22.99! It’s a surprise sale that no one saw coming, and there’s no telling how long it’s going to last.

Fire TV Stick streaming media player with Alexa built in, includes Alexa Voice Remote, HD, easy…: $22.99

There’s no question that Amazon’s deal on the Fire TV Stick is the best streaming media player deal you’ll find anywhere on Wednesday, but as we said, it’s only available to Prime subscribers. And even if you do pay for Prime, what happens if you want a device that supports 4K resolution and HDR content?

The upgraded Fire TV Stick 4K isn’t included in Amazon’s surprise sale on Wednesday, but there is a way that anyone can save a few bucks on it. Amazon rarely has refurbished models in stock, but it just so happens that they’re available right now for $44.99 while supplies last. Remember, Amazon’s certified refurbished products are guaranteed to look and work like new or you can return them for a full refund.
