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

It won’t come as much of a surprise since the news leaked the other day, but it’s nevertheless a hugely important move on Apple’s part: the company confirmed on Thursday afternoon that it will acquire the majority of Intel’s smartphone modem business for $1 billion. The deal will push Apple ever closer to what appears to be its ultimate goal of taking ownership of every single important component included inside its iPhones. It’s not just about the iPhone and other products Apple currently sells, of course, because all these businesses will also design chips for future Apple products like AR glasses and perhaps even cars.

Apple’s exciting new 16-inch MacBook Pro will finally ditch the keyboard design that keeps breaking

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

Ever since Apple discontinued the 17-inch MacBook Pro in 2012, many power users lamented the lack of a big display option in Apple’s notebook line. Not to fear, rumor has it that Apple later this year will introduce a 16-inch MacBook Pro with some serious hardware underneath the hood. Not surprisingly, the machine won’t come cheap, with one report relaying that it may cost upwards of $2,900 at launch.

While there’s no doubt that the forthcoming 16-inch MacBook Pro will boast some serious hardware, there’s no getting around the fact that the butterfly keyboard design on Apple’s MacBook Pro models leave a lot to be desired in regards to reliability and functionality. Indeed, Apple has continuously tweaked its keyboard design over the past few years as part of a broader effort to eliminate usability issues. Nonetheless, Apple earlier this year acknowledged that some users were still encountering issues with their “third-generation butterfly keyboard.”

SpaceX forced to delay ISS resupply mission due to stormy weather

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

SpaceX has successfully performed many resupply missions for the crew of the International Space Station, sending vital supplies to the orbiting laboratory using its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon cargo spacecraft. Unfortunately, sometimes Mother Nature doesn’t feel like cooperating, and one of those times was Wednesday evening.

Poised and ready to fly skyward from its Cape Canaveral launch pad, the Falcon 9 never got the chance to do its job thanks to scattered thunderstorms that spread across Central Florida. The threat of lightning pushed SpaceX to scrub the launch less than a minute before its scheduled departure.

Watch a gigantic bison fling a 9-year-old girl through the air after annoying tourists won’t leave it alone

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

Tourists visiting Yellowstone National Park get to see a lot of wonderful things, not least of which is a variety of wildlife that is, by its very nature, wild. A group of obnoxious tourists found that out the hard way earlier this week when loitering near a bull bison that had no patience for their antics, and a nine-year-old girl paid the price.

As the National Park Service explains, a large group of tourists saw fit to crowd around the large animal near a trail in the vicinity of the popular Old Faithful geyser. The dozens of tourists remained there for “at least 20 minutes” and came within five feet of the animal, which eventually decided it had seen enough.
