%name $27 gets you 31 different GoPro accessories thanks to this Amazon deal by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

GoPro really changed the game when it came along and popularized action cameras but to be honest, there are plenty of other options out there these days that are just as good but far less expensive. One of the few advantages GoPro has left, though, is the fact that there’s a massive accessory market surrounding its cameras.

Here’s a good example: Amazon is selling a Leknes Common Outdoor Sports Bundle Kit with 31 items all compatible with the GoPro Hero 4/3+/3/2/1 Cameras for just $27 shipped. How crazy is that?

%name Time Warner’s new Netflix rival isn’t a Netflix rival at all by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

There’s a whole lot of money to be made in streaming content to computers and mobile devices, and big media companies have no intention of letting Netflix and Amazon dominate the market without a fight. Companies from HBO and Showtime to Hulu and Verizon have all launched subscription streaming services in an effort to chase cord cutters and “cord nevers” who don’t pay for cable or satellite television service, and the streaming market is expected to continue to grow in the coming years.
