%name The best price we’ve seen for our favorite new Samsung sound bar by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When you think of Samsung as a brand, sound bars certainly won’t be the first things that come to mind. You’ll think of hot Android phones like the new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge. You’ll think of stunning ultra high-definition televisions with display quality that cannot be matched by any of Samsung’s rivals. And so on.

Why the McLaren F1 supercar still needs a 20-year old Compaq laptop for maitenance

%name Why the McLaren F1 supercar still needs a 20 year old Compaq laptop for maitenance by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The McLaren F1 is an iconic car, an undisputed supercar among supercars. For nearly 13 years, the McLaren F1 was the fastest production car ever built, maxing out at a top speed of 231 mph. Though the car was in production for about eight years – from 1992 through 1999 – only 106 vehicles ever came off the production line. Today, it’s believed that only 100 F1s still exist today.

Now if you happen to be one of the lucky souls with an F1 in your garage, you might be surprised to learn that if you go in to get it serviced, the workers there aren’t necessarily relying upon the world’s most high-tech equipment to get the job done.

Based on early reviews, Captain America: Civil War might be Marvel Studios’ most impressive achievement to date. Despite all of the expectations and the growing sense of superhero fatigue, Marvel has somehow managed to release a movie with a higher rating than any of its previous MCU films.

This threatening WiFi hotspot name was scary enough to ground a plane

%name This threatening WiFi hotspot name was scary enough to ground a plane by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Getting online at an airport is often a far bigger hassle than it has any right to be. There are typically dozens of hotspots that are being transmitted by the devices of other passengers, hotspots that can only the airport staff know the password to and hotspots that require you to spend a few dollars in order to access them.

It’s a nightmare, but even your worst airport Wi-Fi experience probably doesn’t compare to that of the passengers of Qantas flight QF481.
