In today’s increasingly voyeuristic society, there’s an understandable fascination with how those with rather generous bank accounts tend to live their lives. Indeed, the popularity of Television shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Rich Kids Of Beverly Hills underscores the immense interest in how the more fortunate amongst us spend their time.

For a while now, a Tumblr account titled Rich Kids of Instagram has been documenting how kids who know a thing or two about living the good life are spending their time. And with summer now in full swing, these well-to-do kids are taking their extravagant lifestyle to even more extreme heights.

If you’re a Chris Pratt fan, you’re undoubtedly going to love his amazing impersonation of Jason Statham that hit Saturday Night Live’s YouTube channel a few days ago.

Apple’s iOS platform has grown a tremendous amount over the past eight years. Jailbreaking used to be a necessity for power users looking to get the most out of their smartphones, but now that Apple has added so much new functionality to iOS, jailbreaking simply isn’t necessary for most users. As a result, most iPhone owners don’t bother with jailbreaks these days.

While it might not be necessary, there are still plenty of killer features that are only available to iPhone users who jailbreak their phones.

BREAKING: Apple Music Launches – iOS 8.4 Download Available Now

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

It is not an exaggeration at all to call iOS 8.4 Apple’s most important iOS update so far. How can an incremental update be so critical? The answer is simple: Apple Music. Digital music consumption has been shifting from downloads to streaming for years now, and Apple has essentially been a no-show — and that includes iTunes Radio. With Apple Music, however, Apple is finally willing to admit that the traditional iTunes model is on its way out and streaming is here to stay.

We published a hands-on preview of Apple Music earlier today, and now it’s available to the world with the release of iOS 8.4.

Apple Music First Look: Spotify, Who?

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

The music industry is in ruins. As we’ve gravitated over the last 10 years to purchasing, and now streaming, single songs as opposed to albums, record labels have taken a huge hit in revenue. But I actually still buy music. And I buy it on iTunes. I just like having something locally stored on my computers and devices so it’s always there. If you don’t have cell or Wi-Fi service, you still have your full music collection at your fingertips.

But over the past couple of years, my usage of streaming services has grown. First Pandora, then Spotify. I didn’t mess around with any of the junky ones with whatever horrible names you can think of. I did, however, sign up for a Beats Music subscription and I fell in love with two things about it: curated playlists from different brands and artists, and playlists for different activities. It made for an incredible listening, discovery and rediscovery experience.

That’s why I’m so excited about Apple Music, which will be launching soon after this article is published.

Changing the Game: Study Reaffirms the Massive Impact Netflix is Having on Pay TV

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

The term “game-changer” isn’t always a meaningless buzzword, despite its overuse across every corner of the technology industry. There are, in fact, companies that truly have changed the game, and there is little question that Netflix can be counted among them. It wasn’t the first site to offer streaming movies and TV shows, but it certainly popularized the practice of streaming your entertainment rather than watching it on TV. It has also had a profound impact on the pay TV industry, helping prompt a growing number of people to cancel their cable and satellite TV packages in favor of web-based viewing.

Now, a new study shows that Netflix may have had an even more profound impact on pay TV than most people realize.
