The USB hub Apple would make is just $12 on Amazon

%name The USB hub Apple would make is just $12 on Amazon by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple makes plenty of accessories, but USB hubs cannot be counted among them. This is interesting since Apple’s ultra-thin line of laptops are all a bit lacking when it comes to available ports.

We’re not sure Apple will ever come around and start selling its own USB hubs to help users connect more devices to their MacBooks at once. If Apple ever did make a USB hub though, it would probably look something like the Inateck Unibody Aluminum 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub.

Exclusive interview: Linux creator explains why a truly secure computing platform will never exist

%name Exclusive interview: Linux creator explains why a truly secure computing platform will never exist by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Twenty-four years ago this month, a Finnish developer with a sharp tongue who’s regarded by some as one of the most influential programmers alive today released version 0.01 of the Linux kernel to the Internet.

I played Halo 2 obsessively with friends a decade ago, and custom modes in Halo: Reach’s Forge ate up several weeks of my life, but I’ve never had any real interest in playing Halo competitively for months after release.

That might change with Halo 5: Guardians.
