Just days after Google unveiled its “vision for the future of gaming” at GDC 2019, we appear to be getting a glimpse of another company’s future-facing vision. Rumors of the disc-less Xbox One console have been swirling for months, but they all culminated in a report two weeks ago from Windows Central which claimed that the console had a name (Xbox One S All-Digital edition) and a release window (early May).

Two weeks later, the same source reveals that it has received confirmation of the console’s existence in the form of product shots and documents pointing to a specific release date.

These brilliant Galaxy S10 wallpapers let you wear the camera hole like a badge of honor

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

When the iPhone X was first released in 2017, opinions of the notch at the top of the display were mixed. Some people loved the new design and some people hated it. Graphic designers began to create wallpapers for the handset that allowed people to effectively hide the notch since the background in that area of the screen was black. But then, someone created a wallpaper that was the exact opposite: instead of trying to hide the notch, it showed off the notch by tracing a thin line around the entire perimeter of the display. It looks fantastic and it remains one of the most popular wallpapers on Apple’s notched iPhones. You can see the original wallpaper right here.

Opinions aren’t quite as strong when it comes to the camera holes in the displays on Samsung’s latest Galaxy S10 flagship phones. The simple fact of the matter is that people have been desensitized to missing chunks in their displays. Sure, some people like the hole-punch design while others do not, but for the most part it’s not a big deal. What’s more, you completely forget it’s even there after using a Galaxy S10 for a short while, the same way you forget the notch is there after using an iPhone or any of the dozens of iPhone copycats out there. As was the case with the iPhone X in 2017 though, there are some special wallpapers you can download to showcase the round camera hole on the Galaxy S10e and Galaxy S10, or the oblong hole on the Galaxy S10+. People have created hundreds of them at this point, and you’re going to absolutely love them because they look amazing and they’re wonderfully creative.

Brand new leak teases one of the key ‘Avengers: Endgame’ meetings we’re dying to see

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In about a month, Avengers: Endgame will deliver the epic conclusion of The Infinity Saga, and we already know what to expect from it. The Avengers will win “whatever it takes,” because Doctor Strange already told us they would win. Sure, some may die and/or retire, but the MCU will be safe again. But no matter what happens in Avengers 4, no matter how complicated the plot will be, and no matter how much heartache we’re in for, we do want to see two key meetings taking place. And now we have a massive leak that seems to confirm one of these moments.

Galaxy S10 5G will hit stores on April 5th, with a wild deal in tow

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The Galaxy S10 launch has been a major success for Samsung, there’s no question about that, but the company isn’t done with releasing new models. Let’s not forget that, in addition to the three 4G Galaxy S10 phones, Samsung also introduced a Galaxy S10 5G phone last month. The phone is even bigger than the Galaxy S10+, and it’ll hit stores well before 5G becomes widely available. However, that’s not even the craziest part, as one of Samsung’s launch bundles is easily the whackiest promotion we’ve ever seen.

NASA wants to help you develop cool new space tech

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s been decades since NASA and its government contractors handled everything in-house, but the recent push by the agency to bring private companies into the fold is truly unprecedented. NASA’s agreements with companies like SpaceX make it clear that the group is ready and willing to pay others to develop its hardware, and a new announcement from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory helps to hammer that point home.

NASA and JPL revealed today that they’ll be accepting applications to be part of a group of 10 startups that will work with NASA to develop new space technologies. This “aerospace accelerator program,” as NASA calls it, covers a wide range of potential applications, and NASA is very clearly open to partnering with companies that can prove they can aid future missions.

A Kit Harington profile earlier this week seemed to indicate that Jon Snow will survive until the final episode of Game of Thrones’ upcoming season 8. The actor implied during the interview that he was on location for the entire duration of the shoot, while others came and went.

But Jon Snow wasn’t the only one to talk to the press about what happens next in Game of Thrones, as actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau suggested that he is satisfied with his last scene as Jaime Lannister.
