Leak shows the Infinity-O phone that will beat the Galaxy S10 to market

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

A few days ago, we told you that Samsung’s Galaxy S10 phones would hardly be the first handsets in the world to feature a new kind of all-screen design — a display with a hole at the top for the selfie camera that replaces unsightly notches. Samsung already introduced the Infinity-O display a few weeks ago, and the Galaxy A8s should be the first phone to pack the new screen, well before the Galaxy S10 launches.

But it’s not just Samsung that’s making such phones, and Samsung’s most significant Android rival may release an Infinity-O phone before the Galaxy A8s. And we just got an even better look at the upcoming Huawei handset.

Apple charges as much as $1,500 for its 2018 iPhone models and it also enjoys the highest profit margin in the smartphone industry… by a lot.

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

Many of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday video game deals already ended, but one of the biggest games of the fall is even cheaper now than it was over the weekend. Despite launching just over a week ago, EA’s Battlefield V is currently on sale for just $29.99 at Target — half of what it cost when it arrived on November 20th. You can pick up either the PS4 version or the Xbox One version for this low price right now.

If you want to take advantage of this deal, you’ll need to act fast. Target’s website indicates that this sale will end on Thursday, November 29th, but doesn’t specify exactly when on Thursday. If you were going to pick up Battlefield V at some point over the holidays anyway, you may want to jump on this before tomorrow.

I’ve been sleeping on Tempur-Pedic’s new $5,000 mattress and it’s worth every penny

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

There’s an old expression that goes, “you get what you pay for.” Not that it needs much explaining, but the gist is that the amount of money you pay for a product or service has a direct correlation to the quality of the goods you receive. Needless to say, that isn’t necessarily true. Across every industry there are companies that have made it their business to produce high-quality products that undercut rivals. From smartphone accessories and other gadgets to food, furniture, and even cars, you can always find fantastic quality at reasonable prices if you know where to look. In fact, there are plenty of instances where you can find low-cost products that are even better quality than their premium counterparts.

In the case of Tempur-Pedic’s new LuxeAdapt mattress, however, you get what you pay for.

Every PS4, PS3 and Vita game you can download free in December 2018

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

Two of the best-selling deals of the Black Friday weekend this year were the $200 Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 bundle and the $20 discount on a year subscription of PlayStation Plus. If you’re one of the thousands of people who picked up a PS4 or subscribed to PS Plus (or both), you need to see this month’s selection of free games.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Sony gives away six free games every month to PlayStation Plus subscribers, and has been doing so for years. This month, the list of free games is headlined by crazy racer ONRUSH and a terrifying horror title called SOMA, both for the PS4. If fast cars and bone-chilling scares aren’t your cup of tea, Sony is also giving away the incredibly popular visual novel SteinsGate, as well as the brilliant platformer Iconoclasts.

Watch a Border Patrol agent’s ‘gender reveal party’ start a wildfire that destroyed 47,000 acres

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

Border Patrol agent and complete moron Dennis Dickey wanted to make a big deal out of the gender reveal of his unborn baby. Naturally, he did what many annoying YouTubers do and tried to one-up all the other expecting parents out there by hosting an over-the-top “gender reveal party” complete with high explosives.

The plan, apparently, was to shoot a target packed with the explosive material tannerite and a bunch of blue powder. When Dickey shot the target it blew up and, as explosive things tend to do, set all the surrounding dry brush on fire. The blaze would go on to burn nearly 47,000 acres of land, including a huge chunk of the Corando National Forest.

This all happened back in April of 2017, but now we have video of the actual incident.
