It wasn’t necessarily a shocking revelation yesterday when Apple announced that it acquired the majority of Intel’s modem business for $1 billion. After all, there were no shortage of rumors indicating that Apple has long been interested in developing its own modem technology as part of a broader effort to lessen its reliance on Qualcomm. Indeed, Apple’s eagerness to own as much of the underlying technology in its products is simply part of the company’s DNA.

As a prime example, Steve Jobs all the way back in 2004 said: I’ve always wanted to own and control the primary technology in everything we do.”

A surprisingly large asteroid just sneaked up on Earth, and the Sun is to blame

$%name A surprisingly large asteroid just sneaked up on Earth, and the Sun is to blame by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Thanks to powerful telescopes that can detect large objects at extreme distances, we earthlings have a pretty good idea of the space rocks that pose threats to Earth. However, every once in a while nature reminds us that it still has some potentially apocalyptic surprises in store, and that’s exactly what happened yesterday when an asteroid as large as 427 feet across appeared seemingly out of nowhere, speeding past Earth at an alarmingly close distance.

The rock, now named 2019 OK, came within a scant 43,500 miles of Earth, which is far closer than the Moon is to Earth, and astronomers didn’t even know it was there until it was already upon us. The Sun, it turns out, is to blame for our lack of awareness.

Samsung’s overhauled Galaxy Note 10 design looks incredible in this new video

$%name Samsung’s overhauled Galaxy Note 10 design looks incredible in this new video by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

The Galaxy Note 9 was easily one of the hottest Android phones that was released last year. It had a massive AMOLED display that was stunning, plenty of power and speed, a fantastic camera, solid battery life, and all the features you might want in a flagship phone. Despite all that, it wasn’t a big seller at all for Samsung and its mobile business continued to suffer through the end of 2018. The problem was that the Note 9 and Galaxy S9 were bad phones. In fact, they were great. The problem was that they were so boring. Like the Galaxy S9 and its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 9 looked almost exactly like the Galaxy Note 8 that had been released the prior year. It was a little faster and had minor improvements here and there, but there were no big design changes or cutting-edge marquee features to get excited about. In a high-end smartphone market that has never been more crowded, a boring update like the Galaxy Note 9 simply isn’t going to cut it.

Fast forward to 2019 and it appears as though Samsung has learned its lesson. The next-generation Galaxy Note 10 hasn’t yet been announced, but the design and features have leaked enough times at this point that we know almost exactly to expect on August 7th when Samsung finally makes the new model official. We only have a dozen more days to wait until Samsung’s big Unpacked event in New York City, but now we have a terrific new video that shows off Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 design to tide us over until next month when we can finally get our hands on the hot new phablet.

$%name Samsung just acknowledged that iPhones are more valuable than Android phones by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Samsung opened up Galaxy Note 10 reservations nearly two weeks ahead of its August 7th announcement event, letting buyers secure an early preorder spot as well as some savings. We’re looking at a $50 discount for accessories purchased at the same time as the phone and up to $600 savings on the Note 10 via Samsung’s trade-in program. If you’re willing to trade an older iPhone, Galaxy, or Pixel phone for one of the new Note 10 phones, Samsung will give you a discount of between $200 and $600, depending on what phone you’re trading in. But what the trade-in program also shows is that Samsung also believes that iPhones are worth more money than Android devices, including its own hardware.
