This re-imagined iMac design is absolutely stunning

%name This re imagined iMac design is absolutely stunning by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In today’s mobile-oriented world, where you can easily get by with just an iOS device, Apple’s iMac is something of an under-appreciated workhorse. The iconic desktop computer admittedly doesn’t have the allure of the iPhone and, if we’re being honest, the iMac isn’t even the most popular computer in Apple’s Mac lineup.

While there have been slight tweaks to the iMac design over the past few years, the overall look and feel of the machine haven’t changed drastically since the introduction of the original aluminum iMac in 2007. Sure, recent iterations of the iMac have gotten lighter, thinner, and of course, more powerful, but there’s no disputing that the design has remained somewhat stagnant over the last decade.

Boeing’s Starliner just can’t stop breaking

%name Boeing’s Starliner just can’t stop breaking by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

December 20th, 2019, was supposed to be a groundbreaking day for NASA and Boeing, with the latter’s Starliner spacecraft making its maiden voyage for the International Space Station. Empty of crew for the test flight, things seemed to be going well until a “glitch” in the spacecraft’s timer led it to burn more fuel than it should have, and its handlers were forced to abort the ISS visit and send the spacecraft back to Earth.

At the time, and in the days that followed, Boeing and NASA downplayed the severity of the glitch. They said it was a simple fix and that if the spacecraft had crew aboard, they could have salvaged the mission easily. It was a non-issue, they seemed to suggest. However, new reports highlight totally new issues with Starliner, including one that could have caused a serious problem while in space.

Specs leak for one of the most exciting unreleased Galaxy S20 rivals

%name Specs leak for one of the most exciting unreleased Galaxy S20 rivals by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The Galaxy S20 may be the most exciting phone of the first quarter of the year, but it’ll hardly be the only new Android phone worthy of your attention in the coming months. In fact, given the high price tag attached to all three S20 models, you might want to steer clear of Samsung’s newest smartphone line and go for a cheaper alternative from China. No, not Huawei’s P40 Pro, although that’s also going to be exciting as well. Huawei is banned in the US, and getting its flagship handsets might be an annoying chore.

OnePlus, on the other hand, is one of China’s most popular smartphone brands — one that’s already available in the US, directly from the manufacturer and from its partners. OnePlus is readying a brand new smartphone that will compete directly against the S20 series, and the specs for it have already leaked.

Watch the Mars 2020 rover’s laser in action

%name Watch the Mars 2020 rover’s laser in action by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

NASA’s Mars 2020 rover will be the most complex and powerful piece of science equipment the space agency has ever sent to the Red Planet. It’s packed with a variety of instruments designed to collect a variety of data about the planet, but one of the most interesting is the new “SuperCam.”

SuperCam is an evolution of the Curiosity rover’s ChemCam, and once the Mars 2020 rover begins its mission in earnest it will be used to study objects on the planet’s surface. Well, perhaps “study,” is underselling it a bit since the rover’s mighty mast-mounted instrument will actually fire lasers at martian rocks and vaporize them. Yeah, it’s pretty awesome.

Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Flip availability details leaked

%name Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Flip availability details leaked by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung will finally unveil the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Z Flip on Tuesday, putting an end to the stream of leaks that flooded the web in January. Everything there is to know about these handsets leaked well ahead of the announcement, from design to specs to pricing and launch dates. In the past few days alone, we saw Samsung confirm the Galaxy S20 name on its website, and air a Galaxy Z Flip commercial during the Oscars.

It’s as if the company doesn’t care about all the leaks at this point. And, truth be told, it really shouldn’t. The fans who love the Galaxy S line have had plenty of time to decide whether to buy it, and all the leaks might help with Samsung’s bottom line. Everyone else who’s not into tech news or the Galaxy S series will discover the phones in stores and via Samsung’s upcoming promotions. And a new leak seems to indicate that Samsung and its partners will soon start marketing the phones.

For some reason, Samsung thinks it can sell 2.5 million Galaxy Z Flip units this year

%name For some reason, Samsung thinks it can sell 2.5 million Galaxy Z Flip units this year by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

You only need to look as far as Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony, when Samsung surprised everyone with a TV spot for the still-unannounced Galaxy Z Flip foldable that will be unveiled on Tuesday, to understand that the company has high hopes for this new device.

It was a big night for South Korea, with the country’s breakout film hit Parasite scoring a slew of honors including Best Director and Best Picture, so it was perhaps fitting that one of the country’s most important companies also chose that moment to add to the leaks (via a 30-second commercial) that have been mounting ahead of Samsung’s next Unpacked event on Tuesday. Tomorrow, we’ll also see the new Galaxy S20 smartphone series unveiled, as well as the new Galaxy Buds, among other announcements. The Galaxy Z Flip will be among the stars of the show, though, with all eyes on the product following Samsung’s controversial first attempt at making a foldable phone with last year’s unimpressive Galaxy Fold. In fact, Samsung’s belief that it could finally have a foldable hit on its hands here is reflected in the sales target reportedly attached to the device, which emerged on Monday.

Four Chinese spies are charged with being behind the Equifax data breach

%name Four Chinese spies are charged with being behind the Equifax data breach by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The Justice Department today indicted four spies working for the Chinese government for hacking into Equifax back in 2017. Notably, the indictment confirms previous speculation which attributed the massive data breach to spies working for a foreign government.

Interestingly enough, investigators first began to suspect that the breach was a spy job because the stolen Equifax data wasn’t making its way online. This led investigators to conclude that the data breach wasn’t carried out by run-of-the-mill fraudsters looking to make a quick buck online, but rather as part of a larger, more involved, and more sophisticated operation.

Don’t worry if you missed ‘Parasite’ in theaters – it’s coming to Hulu soon

%name Don’t worry if you missed ‘Parasite’ in theaters – it’s coming to Hulu soon by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The local theater chain where I live previously hosted a limited run for Parasite, the runaway indie hit directed by Bong Joon-ho that took home a slew of Oscars Sunday night including the coveted ‘Best Picture’ award. I noticed today, though, that the film, which tells a gripping story about class and greed, is coming back for a new run at even more theaters here, which should come as no surprise and might be the case where you live, as well. Big Oscar winners often make returns for one more showing in theaters, to capitalize on all the buzz that comes from winning a golden statuette.

I mention all that, though, because it also gives us a clue about something else: The timing of Parasite’s eventual streaming release.

Microsoft is pissing off Firefox users by trying to convince them to switch browsers

%name Microsoft is pissing off Firefox users by trying to convince them to switch browsers by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Internet Explorer has obviously been a punch line for much of its existence, but when Windows 10 arrived a few years ago, Microsoft wanted a fresh start. Enter: Microsoft Edge. The new browser first launched on Windows 10 and Xbox One in 2015, and although it didn’t exactly make a dent in Google’s complete domination of the market with Chrome, it was unquestionably a major improvement over IE (even if that was a rather low bar to clear).

A few years after the initial rollout of Edge, Microsoft revealed that future versions of the browser would be built using the Chromium source code, which is the same code Google uses to make Chrome. After months of testing, Microsoft finally released the Chromium-based Edge browser to the public on January 15th, 2020. It is a sleek and serviceable browser, but Microsoft has found a way to irritate the users it wants to convert from other browsers.
