What Tesla’s Model 3 looked like on the drawing board

%name What Tesla’s Model 3 looked like on the drawing board by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s quite uncommon, if not wholly unprecedented, for a car company to dominate the tech news cycle in the way that Tesla has over the past few days. And with good cause: The unveiling of the Model 3 has been years in the making and represents the final peg in Elon Musk’s longstanding quest to have electric vehicles sweep through the automotive industry.

SNL roasts Donald Trump fans in show’s opening sketch

%name SNL roasts Donald Trump fans in show’s opening sketch by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The ongoing rise of Donald Trump as a serious Presidential candidate will undoubtedly be a topic of intense discussion and debate for quite some time. Seemingly out of nowhere, Trump managed to make the leap from the reality TV and business arena into the cutthroat world of politics where he has quickly made short work of vastly more qualified candidates.

One of the more interesting things about Trump’s run for the Oval Office is that he can seemingly say anything he wants — no matter how controversial, no matter how offensive — without suffering any repercussions in the polls. Quoting Benito Mussolini on Twitter? No problem. Saying John McCain isn’t a war hero? No big deal. Sending out a distasteful tweet mocking the appearance of Ted Cruz’s wife? Not even that could seemingly slow down the freight train that is Trump.

This past weekend, Saturday Night Live tapped into this bizarre dynamic with a well put together sketch highlighting how the stereotypical Trump supporter is prone to rationalizing everything that comes out of Trump’s mouth, no matter how outrageous it might be.

The Internet is furious about this year’s ‘Walking Dead’ finale

%name The Internet is furious about this year’s ‘Walking Dead’ finale by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It was bound to happen: The Walking Dead‘s season 6 came to an end, and what an ending that was. Yes, there’s a huge cliffhanger for season 7, and we’ll have to wait until fall to find out how it resolves. But more importantly, we can’t help but wonder how our favorite gang of zombie-killing heroes will survive Negan, the baseball-bat toting bad guy who finally made an appearance this week. Oh, and AMC could have totally gone with a different cliffhanger, because the one it came up with has infuriated huge swathes of the Internet.

Beware, Walking Dead fans, there are spoilers ahead, so avoid the rest of the post if you haven’t seen episode 16 yet.

New evidence emerges on the iPhone 7 Plus’s most hyped feature

%name New evidence emerges on the iPhone 7 Plus’s most hyped feature by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

One of the most persistent rumors about Apple’s next-generation iPhones has been that at least one of the new devices will get dual rear-facing cameras. The advantage of this dual-camera setup is that it would feature both a standard wide-angle lens camera and a secondary telephoto lens that would be capable to capturing zoomed-in pictures and videos.

Intriguingly, most reports on this feature have said it will be exclusive to the iPhone 7 Plus, which means that you’ll have to pay more upfront to get it. MacRumors points to a new research note from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that comes the closest we’ve seen to confirming this rumor is true.

Watch a Model S P90D in Ludicrous Mode race a Boeing 737

%name Watch a Model S P90D in Ludicrous Mode race a Boeing 737 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

With the Tesla Model S featuring crazy settings like Insane Mode and Ludicrous Mode, it’s only natural that we’ve seen a plethora of videos showcasing how a tricked out Tesla performs against any number of supercars. From a Model S in Ludicrous Mode racing a Lamborghini Aventador to a Model S trying to take on a McLaren 650S Spider, the Model S can, at the very least, hold its own early on in such matchups.

Now it’s one thing for a Model S to take on a supercar, but what about a plane? Sure, such a matchup is completely crazy and wholly unnecessary, but that didn’t stop Australian airline Quantas from pitting a Tesla Model S P90D against one of its Boeing 737s.

Amazon sale knocks $1,000 off a curved Samsung 65″ 4K TV

%name Amazon sale knocks $1,000 off a curved Samsung 65″ 4K TV by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If there’s one thing and only one thing we can teach you, it’s this: never, ever buy a TV at full price. It’s just crazy to spend top dollar on televisions when A) there’s so much competition out there and B) TVs go on sale just months after they’re released. Even top-rated TVs with the latest features like 4K Ultra HD resolution and a curved display panel are discounted soon after release. Right now the Samsung UN65JU6700 Curved 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model) is on sale for under $700, which is a full $1,000 off list price.
