%name This is the cool new effect that’ll play around the Galaxy S10’s in display selfie cam by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 will be unveiled only in late February, complete with a brand new Infinity-O design — that’s a screen that features at least one camera hole at the top for the selfie camera. But Samsung already launched a phone with a similar display, the Galaxy A8s, which has an LCD screen instead of OLED. The new mid-range phone, however, does show off Samsung’s Infinity-O display design, as well as the new tricks that come with it when it comes to selfie cam-effects. The same effects, meanwhile, could hit the Galaxy S10 when it launches next year.

If you’re a fan of special edition phones, then you should know two such devices are coming soon. They may not be as exciting as the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition that launched a few days ago, when it comes to “special edition” features, but they’re still flagship devices worthy of your attention. The only problem with these devices is that you might not be able to buy them in certain markets, US included.

Apollo astronaut thinks sending humans to Mars is ‘almost ridiculous’

%name Apollo astronaut thinks sending humans to Mars is ‘almost ridiculous’ by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Mars is the hottest topic in the space science world these days, with new rovers, orbiters, and landers finding out new and exciting things about the Red Planet with startling regularity. Multiple manned missions are already in their earliest stages, but not everyone is on board with the idea of sending humans to our most tempting planetary neighbor.

In a new interview with BBC, former NASA astronaut and Apollo 8 lunar module pilot Bill Anders weighed in on the push to get mankind to Mars, and he’s not exactly thrilled with the whole thing.

We’re still waiting for the first Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer to premiere, although Sony and Marvel have yet to make any announcements about it. The trailer was shown in private a few weeks ago and several reports claimed the clip was initially set to debut a few days after the first Endgame trailer. That didn’t happen, and Sony and Marvel chose not to show it over the weekend either, in spite of Aquaman, Bumblebee, and Marry Poppins: Returns all launching last week. But now we have a report that shows us the film’s villain, although he may actually be of some help to Spider-Man in the film, at least initially.

Rabid foxes are attacking people in Arizona

%name Rabid foxes are attacking people in Arizona by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Depending on where you live, spotting a friendly fox can be a rare treat. They’re cute, quirky, and as long as you don’t operate a chicken coop they’re not normally much of a nuisance. Folks in Flagstaff, Arizona, probably feel a bit differently right now, as local officials are warning that rapid foxes have been attacking people in the area.

The Flagstaff Police Department sent out a warning via its social media channels to be on the lookout for foxes acting strangely. At least two people have already been bitten by foxes suspected to be rabid, and the department has also received reports of a possibly rabid skunk, which sounds even more unsettling.

The most popular shows on Netflix aren’t Netflix originals

%name The most popular shows on Netflix aren’t Netflix originals by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

From Stranger Things to House of Cards, Netflix has no shortage of original content. If anything, it’s quite the opposite. Over the last year, it’s become somewhat impossible to keep up with the avalanche of new programs the streaming giant launches each and every month. In December alone, for example, Netflix debuted 64 new TV shows and movies, a staggering amount of content by any measure.

Netflix’s ongoing push into the realm of original content notwithstanding, the most popular shows on Netflix happen to come from other media companies. In a chart put together by Recode, with data sourced from Jumpshot, we learn that the top 5 most-watched shows on Netflix include The Office, Friends, Parks and Recreation, Grey’s Anatomy, and New Girl. The takeaway here is that Netflix, despite its success with original programming, is still heavily reliant upon licensing agreements with third-parties when it comes to the content viewers spend the most time watching.
