Rejoice, Game of Thrones fans — George R.R. Martin’s new book has finally arrived. Of course, we’re referring to Fire & Blood, which will hit store shelves on Tuesday, delving into the history of the Targaryens in Westeros.

Oh, you probably thought we were referring to the long-awaited Winds of Winter, the next installment in Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, didn’t you? No, no, as it turns out, Martin is reportedly holed up in a secluded location to try and finish that one. For book six, at least, the wait continues.

Samsung is betting big on Galaxy S10 and Galaxy F innovations

%name Samsung is betting big on Galaxy S10 and Galaxy F innovations by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung’s mobile division hasn’t been doing that great as of late. The Galaxy S9 and Note 9 phones should be exciting by 2018 standards, as they offer users great designs and camera experiences, as well as top of the line hardware. But the phones are too “boring” compared to their predecessors, which explains why Samsung’s earnings have been held back by its smartphone business for the past few quarters.

There’s some good news for fans, though: It looks like everyone in the mobile division is feeling the pressure to deliver breakthrough innovations next year when flagships like the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy F will finally arrive.

%name NASA officially announces landing site of Mars 2020 rover, and it’s incredibly interesting by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s been many years in the making, but NASA’s Mars 2020 rover mission is currently in the home stretch. Scientists and engineers are working hard on all the hardware that the rover will use to do its job, but up until today, NASA still hadn’t actually decided where on the Red Planet the rover would land. Now we know.

In a new blog post, NASA reveals that it has chosen a site known as the Jezero Crater to be the landing area for Mars 2020. One of several interesting places NASA could have chosen to land, Jezero is bound to yield some interesting insights into our neighboring planet, and potentially tell us more about its ability to support life.

Amazon’s Alexa-powered devices are certainly the market leaders in the smart speaker category. And the more time that passes, the more useful they seem to get, thanks to developers bringing new “skills” to the devices — and even tech giants like Microsoft letting Alexa access their key services and features.

To that second point, Microsoft has just announced that Skype calling is now available via Alexa, with Amazon’s Echo hardware supporting basic Skype calling. Additionally, video calling support for Skype is coming to Amazon’s Echo Show, the company’s speaker that also sports a display.

The International Space Station just got a little bit bigger, temporarily

%name The International Space Station just got a little bit bigger, temporarily by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The international Space Station is already quite large, but it just got a little bit bigger as the ISS crew successfully installed the Cygnus cargo ship with the help of a high-tech robotic arm. The ship, which was launched into space via an Antares rocket on Saturday, will remain attached to the space station for several months.

The ISS gets regular resupply shipments that bring all kinds of vital goods to the crew, such as food, water, and oxygen. Those missions also deliver new instruments and experiments that are used to conduct research in space. However, unloading supplies isn’t as simple as dragging a few bags in from the grocery store, which is why the ships often remain docked to the space station for extended lengths of time.

%name You can now visit a black hole in virtual reality by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Black holes are scary. They’re like bottomless pits that nothing can escape from, even light, and you probably wouldn’t want to get too close to one. Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is thought to feature a supermassive black hole at its center. at a point known as Sagittarius A*, and thanks to the wonders of virtual reality you can now visit it from the comfort of your couch.

Researchers from Radboud University in The Netherlands teamed up with scientists at Germany’s Goethe University to produce an incredible VR simulation using data models, turning past observations and readings of the black hole into a visualization that puts you right next to it. The work was published in Computational Astrophsyics and Cosmology.

%name HTC discounts Vive Pro headset, full kit, and VR games for Black Friday 2018 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Save for PlayStation VR, virtual reality is still prohibitively expensive for some consumers. While prices have dropped significantly in recent years, the latest and greatest VR headsets still retail for $400 or more. Surprisingly, we have not seen many VR deals for Black Friday 2018 so far, but HTC on Monday announced that it is giving buyers a chance to get the Vive Pro at a discount, along with cheaper subscriptions to the Viveport app store.

The most substantial deal from HTC comes in the form of a $200 price cut on the Vive Pro Full Kit, which includes a Vive Pro headset, two Steam VR Base Stations 2.0, two next-generation controllers, and a two-month subscription to Viveport. That price cut brings the total cost of the Vive Pro Full Kit down to $1,199.
