‘Breaking Bad’ movie sequel will first stream on Netflix, then air on AMC

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

For many of you, Netflix helped popularize Vince Gilligan’s epic AMC series about a certain high school chemistry teacher-turned brilliant drug lord — or, at least, the streaming service helped give Breaking Bad and the story of Walter White’s transformation more fans than it had during the years it originally aired and ensured a kind of longevity to the fandom around the show.

So it should probably come as no surprise that Gilligan’s next Breaking Bad-themed project, in addition to the spinoff series Better Call Saul which has a fifth season currently in the works, is a feature-length sequel to the original series. The movie will focus on Walter’s protege of sorts, Jesse Pinkman — and the interesting thing is it’s reportedly going to stream on Netflix. Before it airs on AMC.

Great white sharks likely pushed the massive megalodon to extinction

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

Taking a dip in the ocean and coming face to face with a predator of the deep would be enough to scare anyone. Modern day great white sharks are intimidating creatures, but they wouldn’t have held a candle to the ancient super-sized beast known as megalodon.

The long-extinct shark has been the subject of many research efforts in the past, with scientists attempting to determine when and where it lived, and perhaps even figure out why it’s no longer around. Now, new fossil evidence suggests that the colossal creature actually died off quite a bit earlier than was originally thought, and great white sharks might have been to blame.

More than 1 million people cut the cord during the most recent quarter

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

Dish Network announced today that it shed 334,000 subscribers during the fourth quarter, with a substantial portion of the departures being attributed to the ongoing dispute with HBO that’s caused HBO programming to be blacked out for Dish subscribers.

If that wasn’t enough, Dish president and CEO Erik Carlson added that there’s been essentially no progress in talks with HBO over the blackout — the first in Dish’s almost 50-year history, which likely spooked many subscribers to go ahead and cancel especially with April’s season 8 premiere of Game of Thrones getting closer and closer.

The Apple Watch continues to dominate the booming smartwatch market

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

Apple has never disclosed unit sales for the Apple Watch and it’s entirely possible it never will. Especially now that Apple recently decided to keep iPhone unit sales a closely guarded secret, it stands to reason that we’ll never get official sales numbers for Apple’s smartwatch. Nonetheless, Apple executives have revealed that the Apple Watch continues to grow in popularity with each passing year. Driving the point home, Tim Cook during an interview last month said that revenue from the company’s wearable product line (which includes the Apple Watch and items like AirPods) is already higher than the revenue Apple saw from the iPod when the iconic music player was at its peak.

Apple’s latest update for iOS 12 makes it easier to manage subscriptions

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

While it’s not perfect, Apple’s mobile operating system is relatively intuitive and easy to use. Were it not, the iPhone never would have taken off, but there are still several issues with iOS so baffling that it’s hard to imagine why Apple hasn’t addressed them yet. One of the more obvious pain points for users is the volume indicator, which dominates the screen when you try to adjust the volume. We have no idea when or if Apple will ever redesign that oversized popup, but another, more subtle problem appears to have finally been solved in a recent update.

Netflix logged all of the choices you made while watching ‘Bandersnatch’

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

Netflix late last year launched a brand new type of content — a choose-your-own-adventure film that let you make various choices while watching the movie, which would alter its course.

If you’ve seen Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, then you know what the film has to offer, and you’ve probably experienced various endings . It’s not the greatest Netflix film, and it doesn’t feel that interactive, but it’s a remarkable achievement for the company, as everything works without a hitch. It turns out, however, that there may be an unexpected side-effect of this type of genre, which Netflix wants to proliferate in the coming years, and that’s data collection.

Well, that’s a wrap for NASA’s Opportunity rover

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

We kind of new this news would be coming today but now it’s official: NASA’s Opportunity rover mission is now officially over. The trusty rover has refused to wake back up and respond to signals sent from Earth, and there was really nothing left for NASA to do but pull the plug.

At a news conference this afternoon NASA’s Opportunity team announced that it was all over. It’s definitely a sad day, but it’s hard to be upset when you consider the incredible job Opportunity did during its lengthy Mars adventure, and NASA is more than pleased with everything it accomplished during its time on the Red Planet.

Activision Blizzard cuts 800 workers, refocuses on hits like ‘Call of Duty’

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

As everyone expected, the video game company whose various units publish everything from franchises like Call of Duty to Candy Crush has just announced a massive wave of layoffs affecting 8% of the company.

Activision Blizzard started informing employees Tuesday afternoon about the layoffs, which are believed to affect almost 800 workers of the 9,600 the company employed in 2018. CEO Bobby Kotick also disclosed the coming layoffs to investors during the company’s quarterly earnings call this week. Ironically, Kotick also praised Activision’s results for 2018, having hit a “record” once again — it’s just that the company still fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.

Because of that, it’s pressing forward with restructuring and layoffs, a restructuring that involves the company ditching some aspects of its business altogether, and doubling-down on its most lucrative game franchises.

At long last, Nintendo will host its first Direct live stream of 2019 on Wednesday, February 13th at 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET. Nintendo says that the stream will feature “roughly 35 minutes of information on upcoming Nintendo Switch titles, including new details on Fire Emblem: Three Houses.”

Nintendo first announced that it would be bringing the long-running Fire Emblem franchise to its home console back in January 2017, and then revealed its name — Fire Emblem: Three Houses — during E3 2018. Not only will it mark the first Fire Emblem game for Switch, but it also represents the series’ first appearance on a home console since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn hit the Wii in 2007. The decade-plus hiatus is nearly over.
