Even Kevin Smith has trouble finding anything positive to say about Batman v Superman

%name Even Kevin Smith has trouble finding anything positive to say about Batman v Superman by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Kevin Smith has long been one of the most outspoken champions of the comic book industry. He reads comics, he writes comics and he spends hours every week talking about comics on his various podcasts. He’s also an almost overwhelmingly positive force, finding something to love about any comic book movie he sees.

I’ve seen a lot of very impressive Wheel of Fortune contestants over the years but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone quite as good as Robert Santoli, a recent Wheel contestant who started the game by solving an entire puzzle with only one letter and then went on to crush any and all opposition on his way to victory.

%name Did you know Amazon had a special store just for cool new tech you’ve never heard of? by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

What good is being a retail giant if you don’t use your size and power to help out the little guy every once in a while? Amazon is the nation’s largest online retailer by a wide margin, and these days you can buy just about anything on the site.

But beyond all the items you know and love lies a special store packed full of cool items you had no idea existed. It’s called Amazon Launchpad, and it’s a special showcase dedicated to nifty new technology created by companies that might not have the long history and marketing budgets of the big boys, but what they lack in size they make up for in innovation.

%name Is Tesla’s Model 3 hiding underneath this black cloth? by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Tesla is set to unveil its game-changing Model 3 on Thursday night but a new picture shown in the German edition of Wired might give us our first look at the new car… although it’s not much of a look. As you can see in the image at the top of the page, Wired.de has published an image of a mysterious car that’s cloaked in a black cloth. The car’s silhouette bears a resemblance to the Model S, which means that it could be a refreshed version of that particular car. The more exciting possibility, of course, is that it’s actually a Tesla Model 3.
