%name Pen that lets you 3D print objects in mid air is the coolest thing we’ve seen in a long time by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

We’re not saying that the AtmosFlare 3D Pen Set is the coolest thing you’ll ever see in your entire life, but we’re also not not saying that the AtmosFlare 3D Pen Set is the coolest thing you’ll ever see in your entire life. This brilliant little device costs all of $30 on Amazon with free Prime shipping and it lets you draw 3D printed objects in mid-air.

Seriously, you have to check this thing out.

Apple Watch Spring Collection review

%name Apple Watch Spring Collection review by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

As most of you know, I’m a pretty big fan of the Apple Watch. Both the current iteration as well as what it means for the future of interaction and integration with technology into our lives. One of the many reasons that smartwatches have failed so far (Apple Watch not included) is that people don’t want to wear them due to the fact they are utilitarian. They aren’t objects of affection. They aren’t jewelry, a bracelet, a bangle, a mechanical watch.

The Apple Watch solves this problem with an unoffensive design, but more so because of the fact that there are thousands of different combinations when considering case material, color and bands. That doesn’t even include Apple Watch-wearers who put third-party straps on their watches.

Not even a month since Elon Musk introduced the Model 3 to the world, it’s clear that Tesla already has a huge hit on its hands. Even before anyone had seen Tesla’s mass market EV, Musk boasted that more than 115,000 people put in reservations for the car. Most recently, Musk relayed that the number of Model 3 reservations is now inching closer to 400,000.

Purported ‘Star Wars Episode VIII’ plot leaks, and I really hope it’s fake

%name Purported ‘Star Wars Episode VIII’ plot leaks, and I really hope it’s fake by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Someone had to do it: I read the supposedly leaked Star Wars Episode VIII plot so you don’t have to. Assuming the leak is genuine and someone from Rian Johnson’s team spilled the beans on what’s going on in the upcoming Star Wars movie, we’ll still love it when it launches next year. But prepare to be shocked!

Yes, there are many spoilers ahead – again, assuming this is the real deal – that reveal who Rey’s mysterious parents might be.

One video and the story behind it tell you everything you need to know about Prince

%name One video and the story behind it tell you everything you need to know about Prince by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Prince was, in a phrase, one of a kind. Rarely does such an eccentric and at times egotistical star actually posses the talent to back up his or her persona, but Prince was a rarity if nothing else. He was one of the most outlandish personalities of his time, and he did have the talent to back it up. He had so much talent that practically all of the greats in the industry adored and respected him despite his eccentricities. Eric Clapton was once asked in an interview what it felt like to be the best guitarist in the world, and his answer was perfect: “I don’t know. Ask Prince.”

Sadly, millennials and other young generations might not know much about Prince beyond the hilarious impersonation of him that was featured on Dave Chapelle’s old show. So we dug up one video that might just tell you everything you need to know.
