This Week - August 1-7: The Olympics,  Pokehack, and Music Returns to MTV (Sort Of)

NOTE! - We’re trying something new this month (and possibly going forward). For the month of August we’re highlighting some cool upcoming events in technology (we may change the theme depending on the month). Check out the post on our blog, here!

The Olympics Start In Rio! - It’s the strangest Olympics in recent memory, to be sure. Thankfully, most if not all of the events will be livestreamed on NBC, and there are some interesting storylines to the games themselves: it’ll be the last olympic runs for Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, Gabby Douglas returns with the USA women’s gymnastics team, and we’ll see the return of Rugby which hasn't been in the Olympics since 1924. Set Reminder

Pokémon Hack Today? - Well folks it’s officially a Pokémon world, and we’re just living in it, but apparently hacker group ‘PoodleCorp’ will be launching a massive DDoS attack on the game’s servers for over 20 hours today, rendering the game useless. Too bad it coincides with Pokémon events at GameStop all over the US, and a new announcement about the game.

What’s new on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, HBO Go/Now in August - Call in sick for the month of August because there’s some good stuff being made available for your binge watching pleasure. You can get all the lists here. Hint: Watch Netflix’s Original “Little Prince” on 8/5. Set Reminder

More 90s Nostalgia - Pokémon isn’t the only thing making a comeback from the 90s. MTV is getting a 90s MTV channel on TV called MTV Classics. That’s right, all your favorite MTV shows and songs of old will be returning. Also, Oregon Trail is being revived as a card game. Set Reminder / Set Reminder

Climb Everest - Ever wanted to say you climbed Mt. Everest? Well now you can with this insanely-detailed immersive VR experience that’s coming to Steam. Seriously check out the video (see the 6-minute, 9-minute, and 12-minute marks). Set Reminder

The Xbox One S - The addition of 4K streaming and 4K Ultra-HD Blu-Ray support is the only reason we need to upgrade to this updated model, but Microsoft also threw in High Dynamic Range technology, made the unit 40% smaller, and moved the power supply inside. The 2TB model is available for $400 on 8/2. 500GB and 1TB models are available for $299 and $349 respectively on 8/23. Of course, you could always wait until the 2017 Holiday Season for this. Set Reminder

Windows 10 Update - So you just updated to Windows 10, now you can get the next major update to Windows 10.  This update features Windows Ink for writing if you can’t find a pen, a smarter Cortana for less yelling at your computer, an updated Microsoft Edge browser to uninstall for your preferred browser, and of course Advanced Security Features to keep you safe. Set Reminder

Samsung Unpacked - Samsung will unveil their new Galaxy Note 7, they skipped Note 6 because… marketing. The event will be livestreamed from New York on 8/2 at 11am EDT. Set Reminder

Fun Holidays - Watermelon Day on 8/3 and Lighthouse Day on 8/7 are both fun holidays this week, but if you can only celebrate one, celebrate National Ice Cream Sandwich Day on 8/2, because ice cream. Set Reminder / Set Reminder / Set Reminder

Wanted: New friends (On the Forekast team)

We’re looking for a few people to join us to continue building and growing Forekast. We’ve learned a lot since we started the project and are now preparing to learn about improving and growing the community exponentially.

Our previous developers did an amazing job in helping us create the initial product, but unfortunately their time constraints left them unable to dedicate further time to its continued development.

We’re really excited about the potential for this little community and we’re looking to speak with both mobile and web developers who would be interested in sinking their teeth into it and becoming a member of the team.

We’d also be interested in speaking with folks who would be interested in getting involved in content and growth. Writers, growthackers, or people who just love interesting upcoming events.

Forekast is still a passion project for us without any profits.  We know it’s not for everyone, but we’re hoping to find a few individuals who’d like to join the project as a co-founder with equity. Our dream is to be able to fully support the team members financially in the future, but right now it’s sadly not possible. 

If you’re interested, shoot us a message at [email protected]. We’d love to chat more about it!
