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

It’s 2015 and the world looks nothing like what we saw in Back to the Future II. As should be obvious to anyone who’s ever seen the movie, we don’t have access to flying cars or self-tying shoes just yet. And although at least one company has developed a working hoverboard model, we probably shouldn’t expect them to be a common household item by the end of the year.

One of the most common (and most frequently abandoned) New Year’s resolutions is to join a gym and get in shape. But listen — getting to the gym is a pain. If you’re in the suburbs, you probably have to drive 15 or 20 minutes to get there, and if you live in a city, you might have to walk there, which is exhausting in its own right. So why not bring the gym to you in 2015?

This electric ‘supercar’ is even sexier than a Tesla, but there’s a huge catch

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

The stunning car pictured above is, without question, a class leader. The sleek and sexy styling is second to none, and the all-electric drivetrain makes it a modern masterpiece. Featuring dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, the car uses a configuration somewhat similar to Tesla’s exciting new P85D supercar. It also features a leather bucket seat with a four-point safety harness, differential steering, a coil-spring suspension and an integrated 7-inch Android tablet with HDMI out, all for a price that is about 1/100th as expensive as Tesla’s cheapest Model S.

Of course, there’s a huge catch: It has a top speed of 10 mph and if you’re taller than about 4 feet, you probably won’t fit in it.

Storage was one of the most annoying issues with the iOS 8 update for many users, who discovered they were not able to download and install the update directly on an iOS device because they did not have enough free storage available. Apple has not fixed this particular issue in subsequent iOS 8 updates. Furthermore, even on brand new devices, depending on how much on-board storage they offer, iOS 8 might take up the bulk of a device’s memory. SiliconBeat reports that a class action suit has already been filed against the company on these storage-related matters.
