Captain America: Civil War is the must-see movie right now. Seriously, it’s so much better than Batman v. Superman that you should treat yourself and see it in a theater rather than wait for it to hit Blu-ray and digital download. But regardless of which new film you’re planning to see this weekend, feel free to take your time and buy some popcorn because you won’t need to catch the coming attractions — we’ve got all the best trailers from this past week right here!

%name Play with the first interactive 3D render of the Tesla Model 3 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Tesla’s affordable new Model 3 electric car is the talk of the town at the moment, but you can’t actually play with a real one just yet. More than 400,000 excited fans already paid $1,000 towards the purchase of a Model 3, which is an impressive accomplishment for the relatively young carmaker (even though not all of them will end up buying the Model 3). One especially eager Model 3 buyer took it upon him to build the first interactive 3D render of the Model 3, and it’ll keep you occupied while you wait for the Model 3 to become a reality.

Google will pay you $20 an hour to sit in a car

%name Google will pay you $20 an hour to sit in a car by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

How would you like to make some pretty easy money? Per The Arizona Republic, it seems that Google is paying people in Arizona $20 an hour to sit in the company’s driverless cars as they go back and forth between certain destinations. You won’t just be sitting by passively for hours on end, however, as you’ll have to be paying enough attention to take control of the wheel if something goes wrong.

ZTE’s upcoming flagship could make Samsung worried

%name ZTE’s upcoming flagship could make Samsung worried by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

ZTE’s first Axon smartphone was everything we’ve come to expect from China’s no-brand smartphone manufacturers: cheap, powerful, and basically boring. If these leaked specs are true (and the price stays close to $250), this could cause more problems for the status quo.

The specs come courtesy of Chinese telecom regulator TENAA, as spotted by VentureBeat. They’re exactly what you would expect from a $600 flagship Android handset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, 5.5-inch QHD screen, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage (plus more through a microSD slot), a fingerprint sensor, and 20MP/8MP cameras for the rear and front respectively. Oh, and there’s a 3140mAh battery to power the show.

A video of DC’s biggest mistakes shows why they might never catch up with Marvel

%name A video of DC’s biggest mistakes shows why they might never catch up with Marvel by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Marvel and DC have competed at comic book shops and newsstands for decades, but the stakes are higher than ever as the two brands compete at the box office.

With marketing and promotion included, the production budget of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was likely north of $400 million, which makes its impressive $860 million worldwide haul slightly less impressive. But failing to hit $1 billion isn’t the biggest mistake DC has ever made.

In fact, it’s not even close.

Someone finally stumped Stephen Colbert with ‘Lord of the Rings’ trivia

%name Someone finally stumped Stephen Colbert with ‘Lord of the Rings’ trivia by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If there’s one thing that Stephen Colbert is proud of — more so than his shows, his books and possibly even his family — it’s his love of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

A self-proclaimed Tolkien nerd, Colbert rarely went a week on The Colbert Report without finding some way to tie Middle-earth into one of his segments, but years later, it’s coming back to bite him.

Samsung’s foldable smartphone might be more exciting than next year’s Galaxy S8

%name Samsung’s foldable smartphone might be more exciting than next year’s Galaxy S8 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

For the past few years, Samsung has released two batches of flagship Android smartphones per year. But in 2017, the South Korean giant is rumored to be upping the ante by introducing a third flagship family in its yearly smartphone lineup. And from the looks of it, the Galaxy X should be an attractive option for phone buyers looking for a high-end device.

ISIS launches an official Android app for kids (yes, really)

%name ISIS launches an official Android app for kids (yes, really) by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The sadistic Islamic fundamentalists who run Islamic State are some of the absolute worst people in the world… but that doesn’t mean they can’t have soft spots in their hearts for children. Well, at least when it comes to indoctrinating children into their violent and twisted ideology.

Long War Journal brings us word that Islamic State’s “Library of Zeal” has developed its own Android app to help teach children the Arabic alphabet. But since this is ISIS we’re talking about, the app also teaches children the Arabic words for weapons including tanks, guns and rockets.
