Sonos announces Black Friday 2018 deals

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

When it comes to Sonos, there are two universal truths that most people accept. First, Sonos is the best in the business when it comes to wireless speaker systems. Second, Sonos speakers are expensive. There are certainly pricier options out there — for example, Apple’s overpriced HomePod costs much more than a comparable Sonos speaker — but the expense building out a Sonos system across your entire home adds up fast. That’s why sales on Sonos speakers are so important, of course, but unfortunately they’re few and far between. In fact, there are precious few popular consumer electronics brands that hold sales less often than Sonos.

Thankfully, Black Friday is one of the rare times each year when you can always count on Sonos to offer some solid deals during the biggest shopping event of the year. Sonos’ plans have been a bit of a mystery so far but on Wednesday, the company finally announced the bargains it will be offering during Black Friday 2018.

Early Black Friday deal: Apple’s HomePod speaker is on sale at its lowest price ever

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

There’s no question whatsoever that in terms of sound quality, the Apple HomePod Smart Speaker is the best device in its class at that size. It can’t quite match larger wireless speakers from the likes of Sonos and Bose, but nothing as compact as the HomePod can match it. Of course, there’s also no question that the HomePod is way overpriced at $350. That’s why it’s such a huge deal that B&H is slashing a whopping $100 off the price of the HomePod for Black Friday, and the sale is already live right now. That matches the lowest price ever on the HomePod, so this is definitely a sellout risk and you should grab one while you can!

Apple HomePod Smart Speaker (Black): $249.00 (reg. $349)

Apple HomePod Smart Speaker (White): $249.00 (reg. $349)

Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S10’s processor, and it’s a beast

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

Samsung is slowly unveiling some of the Galaxy S10 specs well ahead of the phone’s arrival. Last week, Samsung introduced five new types of Infinity displays, including the Infinity Flex screen of the foldable handset but also the Infinity-O display believed to come to at least two of the three Galaxy S10 phone next year. A week later, the company just announced an equally important Galaxy S10 component, the next-gen processor that’s supposed to compete against Apple’s A12 Bionic and the Kirin 980 that power Samsung’s main rivals.

Humans are getting bigger, and that means more strain on the world’s food supply

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

Everyone knows that obesity is a major health crisis in the United States and many other countries, but humans aren’t just getting fatter, we’re also getting bigger overall. Humans are getting larger and larger, and the average person is now significantly taller than the averages of decades past.

On top of that, we eat more, and that’s bad news for planet Earth.

A new study conducted by researchers with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) reveals that the nutritional demands for the human race are steadily climbing, and not just because there’s more of us. Larger people need to eat more, and as humans get larger, that’s going to put additional strain on food supplies.

Judge orders Amazon to deliver Echo recordings to prosecutors for a murder case

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

The way that Amazon’s Alexa virtual assistant is ready to respond to your queries is that Echo speakers are always listening for the hotword that wakes them up. In other words, Amazon is listening, in part, to your conversations, and sometimes weird accidents happen. But because your Echo is listening, and because they do send recordings of your queries back to Amazon, prosecutors in a case want Amazon to make data from a particular smart speaker accessible to them.

Even with what little we knew already about The Mandalorian, a live-action Star Wars spinoff series coming to the Disney+ streaming video service that’s launching next year, it definitely sounds like the kind of thing fans of a certain galaxy far, far away will want to check out as soon as it arrives.

The story of an outlaw gunslinger from the planet Mandalore who doesn’t follow the beat of the Republic’s drum? Yes, please. And now we have a good idea who’s lined up to play the title character — our sister publication Variety reports that Game of Thrones and Narcos veteran Pedro Pascal is in talks for the starring role.

Hey, want a cup of coffee? I don’t actually have one to give you, but it’s a nice intro to talk about NASA’s latest photo of gas giant and ruler of our Solar System, Jupiter. Juno, the trusty probe that is currently cruising around Jupiter and helping scientists study the planet, delivered a pretty stunning new image recently, and boy does it look tasty.

The image, which was captured on October 29th, shows Jupiter’s towering cloud tops in high detail. Those swirling storms stretch deep into the planet, but up top they look like a delicious latte with cream and caramel. And don’t argue with me about that.
