Apple pledges $2.5 billion to fix California’s out-of-control housing crisis

%name Apple pledges $2.5 billion to fix California’s out of control housing crisis by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

One of the unfortunate byproducts of the mountains of wealth generated by Silicon Valley tech companies like Apple is that their home state is becoming an increasingly expensive place to live. Ordinary people — all of those who aren’t engineers and who don’t bring home six- and seven-figure salaries — continue to be priced out of neighborhoods and cities throughout the Golden State, leading to a housing crisis of unprecedented scale.

This is why Apple on Monday took the dramatic step of announcing its intent to contribute $2.5 billion to help address that problem.

Elizabeth Warren has Wall Street donors scared, and now they’re taking a dramatic step

%name Elizabeth Warren has Wall Street donors scared, and now they’re taking a dramatic step by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Saturday Night Live loves Elizabeth Warren. The Democratic US Senator from Massachusetts got the SNL treatment once again over the weekend, with the sketch comedy show trotting out Kate McKinnon to impersonate Warren’s introduction of her pricey health care plan.

It’s all in good fun, as you can see from the video of the cold open above from this weekend’s show. But while it might make for light-hearted TV, Wall Street donors see it — and Warren — as anything but. Democratic-leaning donors and hedge fund executives, among others, are reportedly taking the dramatic step of holding back their money instead of supporting the Democrats’ efforts to retake the Republican-controlled Senate next year.

%name Kanye West fulfills prophecy, performs ‘Jesus Walks’ with gospel choir by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Fresh off the release of the heavily Christian-themed album Jesus Is King, Kanye West took his “Sunday Service” performance to Louisana. West drew thousands to Bethany Church in Baton Rouge for a concert that was announced just days before.

The performance, which was free to the public, featured several tracks from the rapper’s most recent album, but West included a throwback that was fitting for the occasion. ‘Jesus Walks,’ which was released on West’s breakout 2004 album The College Dropout, is a whole new animal when an 80-member gospel choir is providing the background vocals.

Disney CEO fires back: Martin Scorsese has probably never even watched a Marvel movie

%name Disney CEO fires back: Martin Scorsese has probably never even watched a Marvel movie by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Disney CEO Bob Iger has a theory about why legendary director Martin Scorsese — later joined by his directing contemporary, Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola — was able to convincingly slam Marvel movies as essentially low-brow, fluffy tripe that’s not worthy of being described as “cinema.” Iger’s theory boils down to this: Scorsese has likely never actually sat down and watched one of the nearly two dozen films that comprise the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

‘The Witcher’ on Netflix already has stories for 7 seasons mapped out

%name ‘The Witcher’ on Netflix already has stories for 7 seasons mapped out by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The team behind the upcoming Netflix fantasy series The Witcher has repeatedly brushed off comparisons to HBO’s Game of Thrones, which is understandable, considering both the unrealistic expectations that they might give rise to, as well as the unwanted connection to the critically reviled final season of the HBO series.

Nevertheless, if The Witcher turns out to be a hit for the streaming service, it could end up lasting just as long as the one series that it doesn’t want to be compared to. In SFX magazine issue 320 (via PCGamesN), showrunner Lauren Hissrich revealed that she has already mapped out “seven seasons” of the show, despite the fact that Netflix has yet to even renew The Witcher for a second season (at least, this was true at the time of writing).
