Leak reveals yet another way the Galaxy S10 will outshine Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and Note 9

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

A report earlier this week delivered the kind of Galaxy S10 battery news we didn’t want to see, especially considering some of the interesting battery rumors we had heard before. The new phones supposedly will not have faster charging speeds than their predecessors, including the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy Note 9. Those earlier models do support fast charging technology, but several Samsung rivals already offered much better solutions. However, a brand new rumor gives us a reason to dream again, because it claims that the Galaxy S10 might indeed get new faster battery charging tech.

The iOS magician is back with new wallpapers that make your iPhone dock and folders vanish

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

Late last year, iPhone fans flipped out when we were the first site to share the news that the iOS magician was back in action. The man who goes by @heyeased on Twitter made a name for himself back in 2016 when he discovered an awesome iOS glitch. By creating wallpapers that were just one pixel, you could make the iPhone’s dock and folder backgrounds completely disappear. You can see you cool they looked right here. His discovery also happened to come the year that Apple introduced its Jet Black iPhone 7, so the black version of his “magic” wallpaper was particularly popular. But alas, Apple decided to fix the glitch that allowed these awesome wallpapers to work, and Apple fans were definitely sad to lose them.

Fast forward to this past November, and @heyeased pulled it off yet again. The iOS glitch worked a bit differently this time around, but he still found a way to make the dock and folder backgrounds disappear once again. The only problem was that the first round of wallpapers was a tiny bit bland, but now @heyeased with a new set of magic wallpapers that iPhone users are going to love.

New rumor may shed light on iPhone 11’s advanced camera system

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

A new post on the Chinese website Weibo has revealed some exciting new tidbits about Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 11. While you’ve likely heard that Apple’s flagship iPhone this year will boast a triple-lens camera design, the Weibo posting — which you might want to take with a huge grain of salt — sheds a little bit more light on what we can expect to see. Specifically, the post claims that the successor to the iPhone XS Max will incorporate a wide-angle lens, a super wide-angle lens, and a 3x telephoto lens. As a point of comparison, the current iPhone XS Max includes a 2x telephoto lens.

Interestingly, the juicy tidbits don’t stop there. The post also claims that the top-tier iPhone 11 may include a 4,000mAh battery and support for 15W wireless fast charging. The current iPhone XS Max, as another point of comparison, supports wireless charging up to 7.5W. While these particular two rumors are intriguing, it’s hard to envision them panning out.

Google Maps is about to get one of Waze’s best features

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

Google Maps may be Google’s most popular navigation app out there, but the company has a second similar app that’s even better for some people, especially frequent drivers. That’s Waze, an app that Google purchased a few years ago, which does navigation a little differently than Google Maps and other rivals. Waze packs crowd-sourced incident reports that’ll tell drivers about the state of the road ahead. Whether it’s accidents, heavy traffic, or police, the app will notify you while you’re driving to your destination, and even suggest better routes based on this information. Google, we’ve heard a few times already, is working on bringing incidents reports to Google Maps. And one Waze’s best features may be already available to some Google Maps users.

The recent ‘Collection #1’ data breach that leaked 773M accounts is only the tip of the iceberg

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

Reports earlier this week revealed what’s being referred to “Collection #1,” an 87GB pile of data that included no less than 773 million unique email accounts and more than 21 million different passwords. In total, the database contained some 2.7 billion records, and we already told you how to check whether it contains your email account(s). It turns out that Collection #1 might be part of series of similar data collected from other online breaches, as someone out there has been hoarding all this data, and it’s making it accessible to nefarious actors for just $45.

Apple teams up with Johnson & Johnson to see if the Apple Watch can help prevent strokes

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

Apple CEO Tim Cook garnered a ton of press coverage recently from one pretty straightforward assessment he gave about what he thinks the iPhone maker’s ultimate legacy will be. At some point in the future, he mused, we’ll all look back and regard Apple’s “greatest contribution” to humanity being its work in the area of personal health — a space where the company has certainly been making an even deeper push these days.

At a core of that work, of course, is the latest iteration of the Apple Watch and all the things it can do around spurring people to be healthier. Everyone already has a sense of some of the most powerful and potentially game-changing features of the Apple Watch Series 4, like its ability to take an ECG right there on your wrist. But Apple is trying to take things even farther — it’s launched a just-announced study with Johnson & Johnson, for example, to see if the watch can be used to spot the risk of a stroke.
