As part of Congress’ far-reaching probe into antitrust behavior involving Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Google, the House Judiciary Committee today sent a letter to Tim Cook asking to see a wide range of internal documents pertaining to their investigation.

The request is incredibly broad and specifically asks for communications involving Apple’s top brass, a list which includes Cook, Eddy Cue, Phil Schiller, Johny Srouji, Jony Ive, Craig Federighi, and others.

“People who wear masks are driven by trauma …”

That’s the opening line we hear in HBO’s fantastic new trailer for Watchmen that’s got us even more excited for the arrival of the series on Oct. 20. It’s uttered by Jean Smart, who portrays the Silk Spectre, and she directs it at Regina King, the actress who plays a cop named Angela Abraham. “They’re obsessed with justice,” Jean Smart’s character continues, “because of some injustice they suffered,” as Regina’s character — who wears a superhero-style mask to hunt down terrorists — listens intently.

$%name Disney+ is ‘more addictive than heroin,’ an early reviewer raves by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

If the initial reaction to Disney’s early release in the Netherlands of its brand new streaming service Disney+ is any indication, the streamer is poised to make a huge splash in the US when it’s finally released here on November 12th for a base price of $6.99 per month.

The headline from Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf couldn’t be any clearer in its praise of the service, which is currently available as part of a free trial run in the Netherlands (where Netflix, incidentally, also has its European HQ). Disney’s new service, the Dutch reporter raves, is “more addictive than heroin,” as the Dutch speakers amongst you can see in the video above.

The Pixel 4 press event hasn’t even been announced, and yet somehow, someone’s selling the phones in Asia. That’s how we were able to see the upcoming Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL handsets in a series of hands-on reviews from Vietnam and Thailand this week, videos that confirmed many of the recent leaks.

Of course, it’s not like the Pixel 4 was a massive secret before that, with Google having officially unveiled all of the phone’s signature features, including the main camera setup, 3D face recognition, and the radar-based gestures. Of all of them, the camera is easily the Pixel 4’s most important feature, and a huge leak just confirmed some of the new functionalities that Google built into the Pixel 4’s cameras, as well as the planned UI changes for the app.

Some of the things in your home need normal outlets for power, while others use charging cables with USB-A connectors.

Check out the Leviton T5633-W 15-Amp Power Receptacle with Type A & Type-C USB Chargers on Amazon. They install just like any standard receptacles and they’re only $22 a piece.

Google just fixed one of Android’s biggest problems

$%name Google just fixed one of Android’s biggest problems by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Backing up data on a smartphone shouldn’t be a chore, regardless of operating systems, and you should perform regular backups to protect yourself against accidents. Just because a phone is lost, stolen, or destroyed, doesn’t mean your data has to be. Also, regular backups will make it a lot easier to switch to a new device.

The easiest way to do this is by using a cloud service of your choosing. Apple has given iPhone and iPad users the ability to back up their files, contacts, messages, and photos with the help of a full device backup in iCloud. Google, meanwhile, took its time to come up with an iCloud-like solution. But, going forward, Android users will be able to perform full device backups with the help of Google’s One cloud storage.
