Mark Zuckerberg reportedly has an escape hatch in his office in case of emergency

%name Mark Zuckerberg reportedly has an escape hatch in his office in case of emergency by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s a strange world we live in when tech CEOs need stringent security protection, but that’s sadly the state of affairs these days. Notably, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg needs particularly rigorous protection, a dynamic which arguably isn’t all that surprising given the tremendous amount of influence Facebook wields in the political arena and how visible Zuckerberg has become as a public figure.

Highlighting the extent of Zuckerberg’s security detail — which in itself is a reflection of the seriousness of the threats he faces — Facebook last year revealed that it spent $7.3 million protecting Zuckerberg in 2017. Not surprisingly, much of that protection centers on personal security guards stationed at his house and while traveling.

War-torn Mozambique is giving scientists a unique opportunity to study an ecosystem in peril

%name War torn Mozambique is giving scientists a unique opportunity to study an ecosystem in peril by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Widespread carnivore extinction is a concern in many parts of the world. Many big game predators are prized by hunters and poachers alike, often leading to illegal hunts and dramatically reduced populations. Scientists and researchers leading conservation efforts know that pushing a dominate species to extinction will devastate the food chain, but they’d rather not actually see it in action.

However, in the Southeast African nation of Mozambique, researchers had little choice but to watch populations of leopards and pack-hunting dogs get completely wiped out due to ongoing human conflicts. The war-torn Gorongosa National Park became a shadow of its former self and, while this was indeed a tragedy, it gave researchers the chance to see what happens when carnivores are stripped from an ecosystem.

How Amazon beat out Netflix and HBO to land ‘The Lord of the Rings’ prequel

%name How Amazon beat out Netflix and HBO to land ‘The Lord of the Rings’ prequel by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In a media landscape where binge-worthy content is king, a popular TV series not only has the potential to put a streaming service on the map, it can also take an already-popular streaming service to the next level. The first example of this dynamic was arguably the success Netflix enjoyed with House of Cards a few years back. More recently, Hulu’s brand increased dramatically thanks to The Handmaid’s Tale, the company’s award-winning drama starring Elisabeth Moss.

That said, the battle for original content these days is incredibly fierce, with any number of media and tech giants more than willing to throw around boatloads of cash in the hopes of landing the next big thing. And while it’s never easy to predict which show will become a mainstream juggernaut, there’s a good chance that Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel will do just that.

Apple will reportedly launch AR glasses powered by your iPhone within a year

%name Apple will reportedly launch AR glasses powered by your iPhone within a year by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple typically takes its sweet time to enter new product categories, but the wait may soon be over. According to the prolific analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is planning to launch its first augmented reality hardware by the second quarter of 2020. Apple’s AR glasses have been repeatedly rumored over the years, but Kuo believes that mass production could begin as soon as the fourth quarter of this year, but the middle of next year at the latest.

Apple’s first-generation AR glasses will apparently be an iPhone accessory, rather than a standalone product. In other words, it will serve as a display, with the iPhone handling the computing, networking, and positioning. Presumably, the AR glasses will connect to an iPhone wirelessly, but this isn’t stated explicitly in the report.
