Netflix says over 45 million accounts watched ‘Bird Box,’ but that’s not the whole story

%name Netflix says over 45 million accounts watched ‘Bird Box,’ but that’s not the whole story by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Netflix a few days ago made available to its subscribers a brand new movie of the horror variety. Starring Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich, Bird Box has quite an interesting plot, one that rivals A Quiet Place from earlier this year. If in the latter you could not make any sounds, for fear of drawing monsters to your location, in Bird Box you’re not allowed to open your eyes while you’re out of your house.

The punishment is ruthless, and very immediate: death by suicide. If you haven’t streamed it, you totally should, because the film is very well made, with Bullock and her supporting cast carrying it brilliantly. And, according to Netflix, the movie is quite popular with its subscribers, as some 45 million accounts streamed it within the first seven days. However, that sort of statistic is mostly meaningless, because it’s coming from Netflix.

Leaked photos reveal group calling and low light mode might come to Google Duo

%name Leaked photos reveal group calling and low light mode might come to Google Duo by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

One of the more interesting storylines out of Google in 2018 was the continued fractured nature of the company’s overall strategy when it comes to messaging apps and platforms.

Whereas Apple has the simplicity of iMessage, and Facebook has successful standalone apps like WhatsApp and Messenger, Google’s attempts at presenting consumers with messaging tools continued to remain hampered by a seeming lack of simplicity and too many choices, none of which were good enough in and of themselves. As 2018 comes to a close, however, the company has slowly begun to rectify this — with the company’s video chat app Google Duo emerging as something of a success, now that it’s hit 1 billion downloads on the Play Store.

Man claims his iPhone XS Max caught fire in his pants

%name Man claims his iPhone XS Max caught fire in his pants by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In a rather bizarre tale, an Ohio man named J. Hillard is alleging that his iPhone XS Max caught fire while it was simply resting in his pants pocket. While stories of iPhones spontaneously catching fire are uncommon, if not exceedingly rare, a handful of similar stories do seem to sprout up every year.

Originally brought to light via iDropNews, Hillard said that he first noticed something was amiss when he detected a peculiar smell in the air. Shortly thereafter, he began feeling a “large amount of heat” on his backside along with smoke billowing out of his pants. Hillard quickly called for help whereupon an industrious co-worker took care of the situation with a fire extinguisher.

With each day that goes by, we’re closer to Avengers: Endgame, and we’re learning more details about the upcoming Marvel blockbuster, as well as the other Marvel Cinematic Universe films slated to launch in 2019. But it’s never too early to talk about what will turn out to be one of the most anticipated credits scenes in MCU history.

Regardless of what happens in Avengers: Endgame, and irrespective of how the movie ends, the credits scenes will set up Phase 4 of the MCU, which starts with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July. And Marvel fans are losing their minds online over a credits scenes theory that sounds way too good to be true. But if it pans out, it’ll turn out to be a brilliant move from Marvel and Disney.
