Google is expected to launch new Pixel hardware at some point in the coming months, but it won’t be the Pixel 4 you want. The next-gen Android flagship won’t be released until this fall, but spring should bring us a new Lite version of the Pixel 3 series. We saw the Pixel 3 Lite and Pixel 3 Lite XL appear in previous leaks, including benchmarks that revealed the phones will have mid-range specs. A new leak paints the same picture, and it gives us a good idea of what kind of performance we can expect from the upcoming new Pixel 3 Lite XL.

Pi Day 2019: Free pizzas, pies, and all the best Pi Day deals

%name Pi Day 2019: Free pizzas, pies, and all the best Pi Day deals by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Happy Pi Day 2019! Today isn’t quite as special as Pi Day was four years ago, but it’s still March 14th, which is also written as 3/14. Three, one, and four are obviously the first three digits of the number pi (π), so March 14th is celebrated each year as Pi Day. Well, “celebrated” isn’t exactly the proper word since today isn’t marked by much celebration. Perhaps “acknowledged” is a better way to put it.

Whatever the case, the bottom line is that today is Pi Day 2019 and stores across the country acknowledge Pi Day by offering freebies and discounts to their customers. And this year, we’re seeing some of the best Pi Day deals we’ve ever seen. Chains like Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, and CiCi’s are among the big names on the list where pizza is concerned, and you’ll also find plenty of deals on pies today. The deals extend beyond food, though, and you can even get a bunch of 10% off coupons on Amazon for Pi Day.

The second ‘Avengers: Endgame’ trailer was just released – watch it right here

%name The second ‘Avengers: Endgame’ trailer was just released – watch it right here by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It finally happened, folks: Marvel has released the second Avengers: Endgame on Thursday with just over a month to go until the fourth installment in the Avengers saga hits theaters. We were expecting the second trailer to drop soon after Captain Marvel, but we didn’t realize how quietly Marvel would release it on YouTube. The new clip follows the same script of the first one and that’s certainly understandable because Marvel can’t afford to deliver too many scenes from the film or it would spoil things. However, we do have plenty of new footage in the new trailer, including a massive revelation as well as a scene from the footage that Disney previewed a few days ago in private during its shareholders meeting.

Someone supposedly just leaked Google’s Pixel 4 design, but we’re not so sure

%name Someone supposedly just leaked Google’s Pixel 4 design, but we’re not so sure by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Google’s line of Pixel smartphones might not be the best-selling Android phones out there, but there’s no question whatsoever that they’ve managed to build a loyal fan base. And what’s more, that fan base continues to grow larger each and every year. Wednesday’s surprise Android Q beta release is a perfect reminder of why hardcore Android fans love Pixel phones so much. While the overwhelming majority of Android phones out there can’t even run Android 9.0 Pie yet, Google’s Pixel smartphones can already run Android Q if their owners want to install the beta. The latest and greatest Android features are always available to Pixel phone owners, and that’s just one reason the phones are so attractive to Android fans. Let’s not forget that the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL share one of the best smartphone cameras on the planet, and perhaps the best smartphone camera you can get right now in the United States since Huawei phones aren’t sold here. All around performance is beyond impressive, and in particular, Google’s low-light photo enhancing “Night Sight” feature has no equal on any smartphone.

Google’s next-generation Pixel phones are still a long way off. In fact, the company is still expected to release a new “Pixel 3 Lite” smartphone long before the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL hit store shelves sometime toward the end of 2019. That won’t stop the rumor mill, of course, and now a new leak supposedly delivers Google’s design for its next-generation Pixel phablet.

Services may be the focus of the upcoming keynote, but Apple is also expected to introduce new hardware soon, including the new AirPods 2 wireless headphones, the AirPower universal wireless charger, and a couple of affordable iPads, the iPad 7 and iPad mini 5. It’s unclear, however, whether all of these devices will be unveiled during the media event, but a new report suggests the launch of new iPads and AirPods is imminent.
