Black Friday is somehow back for Apple’s newest iPad, with prices starting at just $249

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

We’re not sure how it’s even possible that Amazon just slashed Apple’s latest-generation iPad tablet back down to its Black Friday sale price. But we’re also not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Amazon gave the Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 128GB) a massive $100 discount last November ahead of the holidays, and it was probably the best deal on any Apple product that we saw on Black Friday. Well, that deal is somehow back in action and you can snag one right now for $329.99 instead of $429. If you don’t quite need that much storage, the Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 32GB) got an even deeper discount than we saw last week, with prices now starting as low as just $249! These deals are definitely going to sell out fast, so you had better grab one now if you don’t want to miss out.

Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 32GB) – Space Gray (Latest Model): $249.00

Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 128GB) – Space Gray (Latest Model): $329.99

Key Apple supplier might’ve just leaked the iPhone 11’s most exciting new feature

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

When Apple uncharacteristically warned investors that its holiday-quarter earnings would miss its earlier guidance by a substantial margin, we weren’t very surprised. Something that did surprise us, however, was how quick industry watchers were to accept Apple executives’ explanation that troubles in the China market were the root cause of slower than expected iPhone sales. We have no doubt that China played a role, but there are other factors at play here. The biggest problem with Apple’s latest iPhones isn’t China, it’s Apple’s latest iPhones.

After completely reimagining the iPhone in 2017 when Apple released its tenth-anniversary iPhone X, the company followed it up with what may be the most boring new iPhone lineup in the phone’s 11-year history. For the first time since the iPhone 3GS, Apple released an “S” series that didn’t introduce a single new marquee feature. The iPhone 4S had Touch ID, the iPhone 5s had Siri, and the iPhone 6s had 3D Touch. Meanwhile, the iPhone XS featured nothing more than a slight specs bump compared to the iPhone X, and the XS Max is merely a larger version of the same phone.

Despite all that, the XS line is still Apple’s most expensive iPhone line ever, with pricing that tops out at around $1,500. That’s exactly why Apple also introduced the slightly more affordable iPhone XR, but that model also lacks anything that might resemble a compelling new feature. Instead, it’s just a dumbed down version of the iPhone XS that comes in a few shiny colors. Thankfully, however, it appears as though Apple took the hint and it plans to introduce at least one exciting new feature on the upcoming iPhone 11.

Gmail is finally getting the ‘right-click’ features we’ve always wanted

We’ve come a long way, when it comes to the evolution of personal computers, but if you’ve started using a PC before the iPhone came out, then you’ve probably been trained to navigate laptops and desktops with the help of mouse (or trackpad) and take advantage by all the features associated with their buttons. “Right-clicking” is a gesture that many people are more than familiar with, and many apps take advantage of the extra menu that can be associated with the secondary mouse click. Gmail, sadly, wasn’t one of them until Monday, when Google announced some important updates for the right-click menu of the popular email app.

Widespread insect die-off could devastate ecosystems worldwide

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

How can we best measure the largely negative impact mankind has had on the planet? Well, we can measure the increasingly dramatic global temperature spikes, observe the disappearance of arctic ice, or tally the number of species that have been pushed to extinction by human expansion. Those are all great data points that we should take as not-so-subtle hints that we need to do a better job, but insects might be giving us the most dire warning of all.

In a new study published in Biological Conservation, researchers looked at over 70 reports and surveys related to insect activity and decline dating back decades, and what they found is truly troubling.

The worst Mars mission ever conceived is now dead

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

Mankind will be headed for Mars sooner or later, but planning an executing the first manned mission to another planet is obviously a complex and expensive endeavor. Mars One was one of the first and most ambitious attempts at getting a manned Mars mission off the ground. It was also terribly mismanaged, shortsighted, and possibly even fraudulent in nature. It is also now dead.

Mars One — which is broken into a confusing mishmash of a non-profit foundation and a for-profit company — gathered tens of millions of dollars from investors who saw promise in the company’s goal of creating a permanent Mars settlement. Needless to say, things didn’t work out.
