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

Netflix released its full schedule of new September 2019 premieres a couple of weeks ago, and it also revealed all the content that can currently be found in its catalog that will be removed over the course of the month. Want to know what you need to watch soon before it vanishes? Definitely check out our earlier coverage for all the details. But many people aren’t really interested in all the movies and shows from third-party studios that the service is adding and they only want to see the full slate of new Netflix original series, movies, and specials set to premiere each month. If that describes you, we’ve got you covered right here in this roundup.

August was a big month for Netflix original content, with 56 different original movies, shows, and specials having premiered over the course of the month. Top Netflix originals that were released in August include MINDHUNTER season 2, 13 Reasons Why season 3, and the first season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, which reviewers and Netflix subscribers have all been lauding. If you want to see the full list of Netflix originals that debuted last month so you can make sure you didn’t miss anything, you’ll find it right here.

Of course, September is here now which means we’re in store for a whole you slate of Netflix original releases, there’s plenty to be excited about. New stand up comedy specials from Bill Burr, Jeff Dunham, and Mo Gilligan will hit the service over the course of the month, and new seasons of Jon Favreau’s The Chef Show and The Ranch will premiere as well. A movie based on Zach Galifianakis’s talk show Between Two Ferns will be released this month, and a limited series called The Spy starring Sacha Baron Cohen in a dramatic role hits Netflix in September as well. But the most hotly anticipated Netflix originals coming out in September are definitely the gut-wrenching crime drama Unbelievable and the dark comedy The Politician, which both look like they’re going to be fantastic.

We’re not sure how, but these wireless noise cancelling headphones are still down to $39.99

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

Wireless noise cancelling headphones are the sort of thing you can’t fully appreciate until you try. The music is loud enough on normal headphones to block out sound, so why do you need noise cancellation, right? Then you try them for the first time and you get that “aha moment” we’ve all experienced before. The problem, of course, is that most wireless headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) are quite expensive. As it turns out, there are actually several different pairs of wireless ANC headphones that are both affordable and shockingly good, like the TaoTronics SoundSurge 60 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones. They’re a bargain at $60, but clip the Amazon coupon and use the promo code ECQDWW3T at checkout, and you’ll get these top-rated headphones for only $39.99!

TaoTronics Active Noise Cancelling Headphones [Upgraded] Bluetooth Headphones SoundSurge 60 Ove…: $39.99 (use code ECQDWW3T by 9/15)

Here’s more info from the product page:

  • Hi-fi sound & CAPTIVATING bass: 40mm large-aperture drivers deliver riveting sound and a thumping bass
  • New Hyper speed charge: just 5 minutes of charging give you 2 hours of full sound; 30 hours playtime on a full charge
  • Bluetooth 5. 0: steady Bluetooth 5. 0 connection streams music uninterrupted while the built-in CVC 6.0 microphone ensure crisp, clear calls without ambient noise

Apple will unveil the iPhone 11 series next week, likely alongside new Apple Watch models, but these aren’t the only new iOS products the company is developing. In fact, some of them might not be introduced until a much later date, and we’re not talking about the 2019 iPad Pro models that should be announced in October. A discovery in an internal iOS 13 development build suggests Apple hasn’t stopped developing its rumored augmented reality (AR) glasses, revealing some details about the unreleased device.

More than 2,500 people worked to bring Netflix’s ‘Dark Crystal’ prequel to life

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

Netflix released its new 10-episode series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance on Friday, leading into the long Labor Day weekend, giving fans of fantasy adventures like this a new world to dive into.

It’s actually a prequel to the Jim Henson 1983 movie, The Dark Crystal, which got dramatically overshadowed when it was released back then by a movie about an alien you might have heard of — Steve Spielberg’s E.T., which opened six months prior in December 1982.

Everything new coming to Netflix this week, and everything leaving (week of Sep. 1)

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

It’s not often that licensed content outshines Netflix’s original releases, but that’s certainly the case in the first week of September. Sunday, September 1st is packed with solid third-party flicks, from Stripes to Superbad to 300. Plus, The Two Towers and The Return of the King are coming back to Netflix, so if you’ve got nothing better to do on this lazy Sunday ahead of Labor Day, why not post up on your couch and watch The Lord of the Rings?

The one Netflix original series that I am intrigued by this week is The Spy, which stars Sacha Baron Cohen and “is inspired by the real-life story of former Mossad agent, Eli Cohen, who successfully goes undercover in Syria in the early 1960s.” Not a typical role for the Borat star, but could be fascinating.

This incredible app lets you control your iPhone with your eyes

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

A few years back, Samsung made an effort to popularize an ‘eye-tracking’ feature on its line of Galaxy flagships. It was a novel idea, but it didn’t exactly take the world by storm. While such a feature didn’t quite resonate with a mainstream audience, that’s not to see that there aren’t use-case scenarios where eye-tracking software can be incredibly useful.

To this point, developers at Hawkeye Labs recently demoed a video that illustrates how iOS users can control an iOS device using solely their eyes. As evidenced below, iOS users can use Hawkeye Labs’ technology — which relies upon Apple’s TrueDepth camera — to browse the web completely hands-free.
