%name One ‘frustrated’ iPhone fan’s list of things Apple must fix in iOS 9 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple fans are fiercely loyal but recently they haven’t been at all shy about voicing criticisms of the company, particularly in the realm of software quality. These very vocal gripes are the major reason why Apple is reportedly toning down new features in iOS 9 and is instead focusing on releasing a more stable, consistent OS that will hopefully avoid some of the major issues experienced with iOS 7 and iOS 8.

Evolve review: The thrill of the hunt

%name Evolve review: The thrill of the hunt by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Our Medic is dead. The Trapper is fleeing for her life with the Monster just a step behind. The Assault is pumping as much electricity as he can into Goliath and I’m still trying to figure out how to play Support.

Fortuitously, the Monster stumbles into one of the Trapper’s traps just as I accidentally press the button that makes missiles rain down from the sky. I say accidentally because I was trying to switch weapons. I just hit the wrong button. The missiles connected; Goliath’s health dropped rapidly; our team rallied from behind and stormed back for a breathtaking victory.

This is how about 30% of my games of Evolve have gone. The other 70% have been blowouts one way or the other.

Many Galaxy S6 secrets that Samsung would have probably liked to keep under wraps until March 1st have leaked well ahead of the phone’s official announcement, including specs, software features and design details — not to mention that numerous image leaks and renders based on alleged Galaxy S6 schematics have also been published online.

Further confirming a crucial Galaxy S6 feature is South Korean publication Itcle, which has learned more supposed details about the phone’s battery.

DEAL OF THE DAY: Meet MOOV: The future of fitness wearables

%name DEAL OF THE DAY: Meet MOOV: The future of fitness wearables by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The MOOV wearable fitness coach is a game changing new development in fitness tracking technology. To be truthful, though, it would be incorrect to simply refer to the MOOV as a tracker because it does so much more than that.

While other fitness trackers monitor things like your steps taken and calories burned, they don’t offer any feedback with respect to your exercise techniques. This is exactly what sets the MOOV apart from its competition. It employs a series of precision sensors that analyze your movements and suggest changes so you get the most out of your workout. It is this dynamic quality that makes the MOOV more of a fitness coach than a tracker.

ROUNDUP: Everything we know about the mysterious Apple car!

%name ROUNDUP: Everything we know about the mysterious Apple car! by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you thought the upcoming Apple Watch was an interesting and intriguing departure from Apple’s comfort zone, wait until you get a load of this. According to multiple independent reports from the likes of The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times and Reuters, Apple is developing its own car. That’s right… a car. Top Apple rival Google has made its driverless car initiative public over the past few years, though the company’s efforts currently focus on technology that might eventually be applied to partner vehicles.

In Apple’s case, it looks like the company is actually developing its own car that should someday hit the streets — and here is everything we know about it so far.

Apple would have probably axed the Apple Watch if not for Jony Ive

Apple’s first smartwatch is launching soon and Apple is hoping millions of existing iPhone owners will line up to buy one. But even though the Apple Watch might be a very appealing product that could turn into a cash cow for Apple, the company wasn’t necessarily thrilled with this particular idea, an extensive Jony Ive profile published in The New Yorker reveals.

Has Jony Ive been even more integral to Apple’s success than Steve Jobs?

%name Has Jony Ive been even more integral to Apple’s success than Steve Jobs? by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In one sense, it’s ridiculous to speculate that Ive could be more integral to Apple’s overall success than Steve Jobs. After all, if Jobs had never come back, Apple would likely have been bought out or gone out of business all together. That said, a massive new profile of Ive in The New Yorker makes it clear that Ive possesses not only design smarts but a leadership style that may have been better suited than Jobs’ for getting the most out of the people who work for him.
