Second-to-last ‘Game of Thrones’ episode had the highest ratings in the show’s history

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

Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones was certainly a controversial one, with Daenerys finally making good on the fan theory that she was destined to go full-on dark — which she did by using her last of three dragons to literally roast King’s Landing and its inhabitants.

The internet pretty much exploded once that happened, with many fans distraught over Dany’s turn and about the direction the eighth and final season of the hit show now seems to be taking. Nevertheless, Episode 5 — The Bells — has scored a milestone achievement for the series, separate from being now ranked as among the most controversial.

Igloo is recalling over 50,000 of its coolers because a kid trapped himself inside one

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

Kids do the darndest things, and that’s seriously bad news if you’re a large company that makes airtight boxes that a kid might want to climb inside. Igloo, the popular cooler maker, just announced a recall of some 60,000 of its Marine Elite coolers after 5-year-old Nicholas Wanes decided his parents’ cooler would make for a perfect hiding place.

The boy, who was not injured in the incident and recently appeared in television interviews alongside his parents, thought it would be neat to climb inside the empty cooler. Once the lid was closed — which took a fair bit of work on the part of the boy — he panicked, and now Igloo is doing its best to head off a public relations nightmare.

10 exciting OnePlus 7 Pro features you won’t find on any iPhone

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

No new flagship smartphones come as much of a surprise when they’re announced these days, because most of the key details surrounded them leak long before any official announcements are made. That is especially true of the OnePlus 7 Pro, which was finally unveiled on Tuesday morning. From official press renders and key specs to pricing and release timing, just about everything you could possibly want to know about the OnePlus 7 Pro was leaked long before today’s big press conference, leaving nothing at all to surprise us on Tuesday. Of course just because there were no surprises doesn’t make OnePlus’ new flagship smartphone any less impressive.

In a nutshell, the OnePlus 7 Pro is the fast, sleekest, and most powerful Android smartphone in the world right now. It’s one of three new handsets OnePlus unveiled on Tuesday morning, but it’s the only one that will be made available in the United States. I’ve spent the past couple of weeks testing the new OnePlus 7 Pro, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed so far. Rather than pen a traditional review, however, I decided to focus on how it stacks up against its biggest competition and the only smartphone in the world that can outpace it in speed and performance tests. So in this post, you’ll find 10 exciting features of the brand new OnePlus 7 Pro that are nowhere to be found on the iPhone XS Max or any other iPhone model out there.

Now that they’re done ruining ‘Game of Thrones,’ Benioff and Weiss are moving on to ‘Star Wars’

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

Just days before the final episode of Game of Thrones airs on HBO, wrapping up one of the most critically acclaimed (and divisive) TV shows of the decade, Disney has announced that creators and showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will write and produce the next Star Wars movie. Coming in 2022, this movie will kick off a trilogy that will usher in the next generation of Star Wars stories, with the Skywalker Saga coming to a close.

“We’re hard at work already,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said during an investor’s call, according to a report from Polygon on Tuesday, ”but we felt three years was the proper amount of time to not only take a breather and reset, but to gear up for the next film’s release [which he confirmed will be from Benioff and Weiss].”
