The Netflix Effect: Fewer viewers are opting to sign up for cable in the first place

%name The Netflix Effect: Fewer viewers are opting to sign up for cable in the first place by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

With good reason, cable providers are worried that an increasing percentage of viewers are opting to cut the cord in favor of streaming services from the likes of Netflix and Hulu. Arguably more worrisome, however, is the fact that there are a growing number of users who are opting not to sign up for cable in the first place.

In other words, while cable providers are frantically trying to figure out ways to keep viewers from leaving the fold, they might want to spend a little bit more time convincing consumers that a $60-$100/month cable contract is worth it.

Apple finally settles ‘batterygate’ scandal once and for all

%name Apple finally settles ‘batterygate’ scandal once and for all by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple today issued a statement which will hopefully put ‘batterygate’ to bed once and for all. In case you missed it, there’s a bit of a whirlwind involving claims that some iPhone 6s models with A9 processors from Samsung have substandard battery life compared to iPhone 6s models with A9 processors sourced from TSMC.

One test in particular even purported to show that iPhones with TSMC chips enjoyed nearly two more hours of battery life than equivalent iPhones with Samsung chips.

In a story that underscores the ever-increasing camera quality on Apple’s iPhones, a TV station in Switzerland recently decided to abandon traditional TV cameras and replace them with iPhones.

Does Surface Book really crush the MacBook Pro? Microsoft’s bold claim has a big asterisk

%name Does Surface Book really crush the MacBook Pro? Microsoft’s bold claim has a big asterisk by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Microsoft woweed its audience earlier this week with the announcement of its Surface Book, which is basically a beefed up version of the Surface Pro 4. Dubbed as the “ultimate laptop,” the new computer is an impressive 13.5-inch Windows 10 tablet and one of Microsoft’s best creations to date.

But the company apparently also misrepresented what the Surface Book can do in terms of performance, especially when suggesting the device can offer twice the performance of the MacBook Pro.

It’s safe to say Daniel Craig really, really never wants to play James Bond again

%name It’s safe to say Daniel Craig really, really never wants to play James Bond again by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you ask me, Daniel Craig is the best James Bond ever, but I’ll admit the scripts of his 007 movies might have helped out with that, especially when compared with the older movies. However, the actor, who played Bond for the fourth time in Spectre, just revealed that we might need another Bond, as he’s had it with playing the immensely popular character.

Craig announced in a rather out-of-the-box manner the fact he’s had it with the franchise saying that he’d rather kill himself than do another Bond movie. I’m shaken by the news. Not stirred. Because he’s not 100% sure he’s stopping.

Pro photographer says iPhone 6s shoots better video than a Nikon DSLR

%name Pro photographer says iPhone 6s shoots better video than a Nikon DSLR by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have better cameras than any of their predecessors, and early photo and video recording tests have proven that Apple is once again setting a new standard for smartphone photography.

But the new iPhones aren’t better solely when it comes to photos, because videos are vastly improved as well. One pro photographer who relies on DSLR cameras for professional shoots compared the iPhone 6s against a Nikon DSLR that costs thousands of dollars, finding – to his amazement – that the iPhone 6s shoots much better video.
