Facebook is under investigation due to policies related to user privacy. Shocking, right? And this time around, things aren’t looking very good for the company, which is already willing to settle the matter by paying a huge penalty. A new report shows that Facebook is worried that internal email exchanges might reveal Mark Zuckerberg was aware of the company’s questionable privacy practices at a time when the company should have made user privacy a priority.

Amazon has a huge Gold Box sale running today only that offers huge discounts on PNY digital storage. The sale includes flash drives, SD cards, and microSD cards, and you can shop the full sale right here on Amazon’s website.

This is our best look yet at Google’s unreleased Pixel 4

Posted on June 13, 2019June 13, 2019 by Authcom

$%name This is our best look yet at Google’s unreleased Pixel 4 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

So, Google unveiled the Pixel 4 on Wednesday. Sort of. After someone posted renders of the unreleased Pixel 4 based on design files that were stolen from the factory where Google’s new Pixel phones will be manufactured, Google decided to dispel some of the uncertainty by posting an image of the back of the new phone. You can see the official Pixel 4 image Google shared at the top of this post. It was a bizarre move on Google’s part, to say the least.

The company should know by now that only a tiny percentage of consumers follow smartphone leaks and rumors. Now that Google has officially confirmed that the upcoming Pixel 4 will have a massive camera upgrade, why would anyone buy a new Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL? After all, camera performance is one of the only reasons to buy a Pixel phone over more popular smartphones like a Samsung Galaxy phone or an iPhone. Perhaps Pixel 3 sales have been so slow lately that Google felt it wouldn’t matter to let people know they shouldn’t buy them anymore. Whatever the logic (or lack thereof), what’s done is done and we now know exactly what the Pixel 4 will look like when it hits store shelves later this year. Well, we know exactly what the back of the Pixel 4 will look like, at least.

Microsoft’s game streaming service will be free to Xbox owners, since it’s not part of xCloud

Microsoft is expected to be one of the leading players in the future game streaming wars, but the company didn’t share too many details about its xCloud streaming platform at E3 2019. Instead, Microsoft announced that game streaming would roll out to Xbox One owners this fall, when they’ll be able to use it to stream games to other devices, including iPhone and Android handsets. Unlike Google, which revealed pricing for Stadia a few days earlier, Microsoft never mentioned how much xCloud will cost. But we have new developments for gamers: Game streaming will be available free of charge if you own an Xbox One, but it’s not quite xCloud.

$%name What the unexpected Pixel 4 teaser tells us about the fourth gen Google flagship phone by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

We’ve been bombarded with Pixel 4 rumors for the past few days now, but nobody could have seen coming what Google did on Wednesday. The company went to social media to post actual images of the Pixel 4 several months in advance of the phone’s arrival. That’s an incredibly bold move from Google, and it’s also terribly exciting for fans planning to purchase Pixel hardware — on that note, there’s absolutely no reason even to consider going for either the Pixel 3 or Pixel 3a phones at this time.

While Google only shared images featuring the Pixel 4’s rear, revealing nothing else about the phone, the image the company released delivers plenty of tidbits about the upcoming handset. And that’s because we already have access to a bunch of rumors that Google seemingly confirmed with its teaser.

When you’re planning on taking a trip it pays to plan ahead, and one of the first things you should do is check the weather forecast. The same is true for space travelers, and with so many missions in the works, NASA is now gazing ahead to see what the space weather forecast is looking like for the upcoming decade, and things appear to be shaping up rather nicely.

Using the most recent data on solar activity and a new predictive formula for forecasting peaks and valleys of solar weather, NASA says that we’re about to experience the calmest decade-or-so of the past two centuries, making right now the perfect time to plan crewed missions to other worlds.
