Is anything good enough for some people? Because it’s the Internet, the answer is always, “No.” No matter how awesome or incredible something is, someone out there will always find a reason to hate on it. Inspired by this Mother Jones article about people bombing national parks with one-star reviews, I decided to search around for some of the world’s other incredible places to see what the world’s most completely joyless people had to say about them. Check out the highlights below!

%name Samsung will pay you $200 to dump your iPhone by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

For a period of time, Android seemed like an unstoppable juggernaut. The mobile platform’s global market share skyrocketed each quarter at breakneck speeds, leaving rival platforms in the dust behind it.

Then, in 2014, Apple finally released iPhones with bigger displays to combat the supersized screens Android users had been enjoying for years. As a result, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Android users were switching to the iPhone faster than ever, and the company’s holiday quarter was the most profitable quarter any company has even reported.

Now, Samsung is starting to fight back.

A new revelation from that leaked iPhone 6s box (no, it’s not good news)

%name A new revelation from that leaked iPhone 6s box (no, it’s not good news) by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Earlier this week, a photo of purported retail packaging for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6s was posted on a Chinese gadget blog. The leak was dismissed at first — just as the iPhone 6’s retail packaging was dismissed when it first leaked last year — but then people realized that the photo was likely genuine.

Who cares? It’s just a box, right? Not quite. The leaked retail packaging actually revealed a few important things about Apple’s upcoming new iPhones, and now the leak has offered one more revelation.

Innovation of the week: Watch this flexible phone control apps as it bends

%name Innovation of the week: Watch this flexible phone control apps as it bends by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In 2013, Samsung launched the Galaxy Round smartphone with a flexible display… though the phone really didn’t have any legitimate reason to exist.

Now, however, there’s a phone that bends with purpose.

%name Couple asks Internet for some Photoshop help, hilarity ensues by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Asking the Internet for help, advice, or guidance can sometimes bring out the worst in people. Other times, it results in nothing short of comedic gold. In a hilarious example of the latter, a couple returning from a nice vacation asked Imgur for some online Photoshop help in removing a volleyball-playing kid from the background of an otherwise romantic photograph.

Not missing a beat, the Internet masses got to work and fired Photoshop right up, only they weren’t the least bit interested in removing the kid from the photo. On the contrary, they harnessed their creative energies and came up with some absolute gems.
