iPhone 7 may finally have ‘Intel Inside’

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

A new bombshell of a report from VentureBeat claims that Intel currently has a team of 1,000 employees working hard in an effort to get its vaunted 7360 LTE modem chip ready to go for the iPhone 7. The large team size is reportedly a reflection of how seriously Intel is taking its potential partnership with Apple as it hopes to ultimately supplant Qualcomm, Apple’s current supplier of LTE modem chips for the iPhone.

Now given how high iPhone production volume is, don’t expect Apple to go all-in with Intel just yet. The report notes that Apple may initially opt to dual source LTE modems from Intel and Qualcomm. Of course, given the recent commotion surrounding Apple dual sourcing the A9 processor from TSMC and Samsung, we’d imagine Apple will take all necessary precautions to ensure similar performance across the board. As a point of interest, Intel’s 7630 LTE modem chip can support downlink LTE speeds of 450MB per second.

Steven Spielberg’s 29 films, from worst to best

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

If you ask someone who the best living director is today, you’re likely to get a few different answers. Some might say Steven Spielberg, others might go with Martin Scorsese, and still, others might even opt for David Fincher or Quentin Tarantino. All solid picks, but if you ask someone who is the most well-known director of our time, perhaps of all-time, it’s hard to argue that it’s anyone but Spielberg.

Since vaulting to fame with Jaws, Spielberg has been responsible for some of the more widely known and iconic movies to hit the silver screen over the last few decades. From E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and the Indiana Jones trilogy to Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park, Spielberg has more than a few blockbuster hits to his name. Spielberg has even played important roles in films that he didn’t happen to direct, including The Goonies (which he wrote) and Back to the Future (which he executive produced).

Video: Man slices a 130 MPH baseball in half with a Samurai sword

There are some things that simply need to be seen to be believed. And yet, there remain some things that still seem impossible even when you have video evidence staring you right back in the face.

Case in point: this incredible video depicting a man slicing a baseball clean in half with a samurai sword. What makes the video so remarkable is that the baseball is travelling at 101 mph, about as fast, if not faster in most cases, than most fastballs thrown in the major leagues.

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

If you’ve ever looked at your receipt for an UberX ride, you might notice that the company charges you something called a “safe rides fee.” This fee covers the cost of everything associated with giving you a safe ride to your destination, including insurance, 24-hour support and background checks on prospective drivers. Ah yes. Background checks on drivers. Uber has shown itself to be awesome at those.

Microsoft does what?

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

Back in the day when Apple was trying to reaffirm itself in the computer business and convince buyers that Macs were better than PCs, the company came up with a slew of Mac vs. PC ads that were just hilarious. But times have changed, Apple dropped the campaign, and the current computer business looks nothing like the one from last decade. Smartphones are dominant in this “post-PC” era, and laptop and desktop makers are struggling against a marked demand decrease – interestingly, the Mac is now doing a lot better than PCs in terms of profitability.

So Microsoft does whaaaaat?
