The future of wireless headphones is here, at only $49.99 from Anker

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

The first truly wireless earbuds were released all the way back in 2015, but this cool new category of headphones didn’t really get popular until Apple launched the AirPods in 2016. Apple hasn’t updated its AirPods since then, but other electronics companies have definitely come a long way. Cord-free earbuds that offer better sound quality, better sound isolation, and a more comfortable fit can now be found for much less than the $159 Apple charges for AirPods, and we’ve got a sale for you to check out today that helps illustrate how far we’ve come. In fact, these new cord-free earbuds are so good that they made us regret ever spending so much on AirPods.

The Soundcore Liberty Neo Bluetooth 5.0 True Wireless Earbuds by Anker are the best new cord-free earbuds we’ve tested in a long time. They’re ultra-compact and comfortable, with each bud weighing in at just 0.2 ounces. They also feature the latest Bluetooth technology for fast pairing and the most reliable connection possible. On top of all that, the Soundcore Liberty Neo buds deliver fantastic sound quality and deep bass thanks to premium graphene drivers, which are rare in true wireless earbuds. They’re worth every penny of their normal $65 retail price, but Amazon is running a special sale until the end of the month that slashes the price to just $49.99. That means you can buy three sets of Liberty Neo earbuds for less than one pair of AirPods!

Soundcore Truly-Wireless Earbuds, Liberty Neo by Anker, Wireless Headphones with Graphene-Enhan…: $49.99

Marvel just told us ‘Avengers: Endgame’ isn’t about Captain Marvel saving the day

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

When Nick Fury hurried to reach that sophisticated pager and press the button with his dying “MotherF…” in Avengers: Infinity War we learned that Captain Marvel would be in the sequel. Now that Captain Marvel premiered, we know precisely how Fury got that pager, and what it’s meant for. We also know how she’ll appear in Endgame. Captain Marvel will surely help the other Avengers defeat Thanos in Avengers 4, but Marvel just told us what the movie is really about, and it’s not about Carol.

Netflix CEO: ‘We’ve chosen not to integrate’ with Apple’s new TV service

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

As soon as the new streaming service Apple has in the works finally launches, it will offer users content from some third-party cable networks like CBS and Starz and eventually a smorgasbord of Apple-commissioned TV series from big-name actors and producers. That much we already knew ahead of Apple’s planned March 25 press event at which the iPhone maker will finally roll out its plans for the service.

And now we also definitely know one thing the new service won’t have: participation from Netflix.

Space makes your herpes flare up, apparently

Riding into space on the top of a rocket is something that very few people ever get the opportunity to do. It’s a dangerous journey, but the payoff is something that those of us who spend our entire lives here on solid ground can’t possibly comprehend. It also, apparently, makes your herpes flare up.

In one of the more bizarre but nonetheless interesting reports to come out of NASA this year, researchers reveal that over half of astronauts who have spent time in space have experience herpes flare-ups with varying degrees of severity.

ZTE’s latest phone makes a terrible compromise to avoid having a notch

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

For most of 2018, the notch dominated the mobile landscape, as every Android manufacturer under the sun (except for Samsung) hurried to copy the iPhone X. We then witnessed a new wave of post-notch designs, where Android device makers desperately tried to look original by doing the only thing that was available to them: They removed the notch completely, but made some compromises to achieve that design.

We saw phones with two screens — one on the back and one on the front — just to avoid having two camera modules. Even before that, phones with slide-out cameras popped-up, followed by slider phones with back panels that slid up to reveal the selfie camera whenever it was needed. Samsung then launched the Infinity-O display alongside its Galaxy S10 series. But ZTE might have found the worst way of all to avoid the notch.

Scientists bring woolly mammoth cells back to life

The woolly mammoth is long gone, having been pushed to extinction thousands of years ago, but in recent years, there have been no shortage of efforts to test the feasibility of bringing the species back. No, we’re not talking about Jurassic Park-esque cloning — at least not yet — but a mammoth specimen discovered nearly a decade ago is bringing scientists closer than ever to realizing that dream.

The mammoth, named Yuka, was found frozen in Siberia in 2010. Miraculously, even after thousands of years of lying dormant, scientists out of Japan recently managed to bring some of the animal’s biological material back to life.

Stunning concept video shows us what Apple’s foldable iPhone could look like

Are foldable phones the wave of the future or nothing more than a hyped up and passing fad a’la 3D TV? While I might be inclined to lean towards the latter. there’s no denying that foldable phones from the likes of Samsung and Huawei have engendered an excitement in the smartphone market that we haven’t seen in quite some time.

With some folks touting foldable devices as the next frontier for smartphones, it’s no surprise that we’re already starting to see speculation about Apple entering the fray. Just last month, for example, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak called on Apple make a splash in the foldable phone market. Further, it’s worth noting that Apple has already filed a number of patents pertaining to foldable iPhone designs.
