The “Internet of Things” and “smart home” devices aren’t just a trend, they’re the future. These emerging technologies are great for a number of reasons, the biggest of which are convenience and savings. Connecting devices in your house to each other and to the internet gives you a level of control and capability that seemed like science fiction just a few short years ago.

Captain America: Civil War is the must-see movie right now. Seriously, it’s so much better than Batman v.

Tesla’s affordable new Model 3 electric car is the talk of the town at the moment, but you can’t actually play with a real one just yet. More than 400,000 excited fans already paid $1,000 towards the purchase of a Model 3, which is an impressive accomplishment for the relatively young carmaker (even though not all of them will end up buying the Model 3). One especially eager Model 3 buyer took it upon him to build the first interactive 3D render of the Model 3, and it’ll keep you occupied while you wait for the Model 3 to become a reality.

How would you like to make some pretty easy money? Per The Arizona Republic, it seems that Google is paying people in Arizona $20 an hour to sit in the company’s driverless cars as they go back and forth between certain destinations. You won’t just be sitting by passively for hours on end, however, as you’ll have to be paying enough attention to take control of the wheel if something goes wrong.

ZTE’s upcoming flagship could make Samsung worried

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

ZTE’s first Axon smartphone was everything we’ve come to expect from China’s no-brand smartphone manufacturers: cheap, powerful, and basically boring. If these leaked specs are true (and the price stays close to $250), this could cause more problems for the status quo.

The specs come courtesy of Chinese telecom regulator TENAA, as spotted by VentureBeat. They’re exactly what you would expect from a $600 flagship Android handset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, 5.5-inch QHD screen, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage (plus more through a microSD slot), a fingerprint sensor, and 20MP/8MP cameras for the rear and front respectively. Oh, and there’s a 3140mAh battery to power the show.
