This is What Happens to Your Waistline When You Drink a Glass of Red Wine Before Bed

2015-08-06T01:33:00.003-07:00

Scientists have long examined the effects of red wine weight loss and the results they got will sure favor the ladies.

A study conducted at the Harvard University tracked 20,000 women for 13 years and the results showed that women who had two glasses of red wine a day experienced no problems with obesity. Similar studies have shown that red wine stimulates fat burning.

The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry published a study which tried to determine what do grapes actually do within the body and how can red wine stimulate weight loss.

Their experiment involved lab mice and showed that mice were less likely to store liver fat when they were given red wine grape extract. The same group of mice also showed decreased blood sugar levels. Surprisingly, acids in grapes have the ability to delay growth of fatty cells.

Snacking red wine

People drink red wine instead of having their evening snack. Experts say that a glass of red wine has less calories than a piece of cake, ice cream and chips. It also contains almost no bad fats.

This helped Linda Monk to lose 6 pounds within three weeks. She claims that red wine really helped her to reduce sugar cravings and eat less unhealthy snacks before bedtime.

Red wine – Health benefits

Red wine not only aids weight loss, but also provides a wide range of benefits, due to its high resveratrol content.
Resveratrol is a strong antioxidant that has shown to prevent cancer. It protects heart health and prevents Alzheimer’s Disease, because of its ability to prevent cell damage.

Lose Stomach Fat With 5 Simple Remedies

2015-08-06T01:28:00.005-07:00

Many of us know that belly fat is quite common. However there are some simple remedies that one can use to help solve this issue.

One can really lose stomach fat without doing any exercise at all! Consider trying out any of these methods:

Eat foods with omega 3 fatty acid. This includes walnuts, sardines, salmon, flaxseeds, and halibut. Omega 3s are not able to be produced in the body, so therefore they must be consumed through food and supplements.
Increase the protein in your diet. This will help to increase the metabolism. Studies in Denmark has showed that increasing animal proteins will help the body burn more calories.
Drink green tea. Those that drink 4 to 5 cups per day who also exercised for at least 25 minutes, sweating, lost 2 pounds more than those that did not drink the tea.

Then, peel the garlic cloves and blend them together with the lemon chunks and the ginger.

Start Your Day With A Banana And A Cup Of Warm Water-This Is Why

2015-08-04T07:08:00.002-07:00

“The founder” of this fantastic breakfast consisted of one banana and regular water on a room temperature, claims that this habit may significantly decrease your weight no matter what you eat during the day.

The diet is known as morning banana and is incredibly simple and easy to conduct.

The answer why this diet “works” so good is in the fact that bananas stimulate digestion and fasten the metabolism.

Another positive thing is that bananas is rich with starch which has a low glycemic index, it digests for a long time, gives the feeling of being full for a long time and partially blocks the absorption of carbohydrates.

The people which will chose this diet are advised to have dinner before 8 pm and to avoid the desert after dinner.

Groceries which are forbidden are dairy and alcohol. Plus the bananas must be fresh not baked or frozen.

Apple reportedly in talks to launch its own mobile virtual network service in the U.S. and Europe

2015-08-03T10:04:00.004-07:00

Apple’s iPhone has become so common, so ubiquitous, that even Apple has recent gone to marketing to show why if you’re not using an iPhone, you’re really not using an iPhone (and should be). There’s no doubt that the iPhone, along with other products from the company, have given Apple a huge lead in the technology industry, so much so that even when they launch a smartwatch, it’s a device that a lot of people want to buy and use. But, according to a new report from Business Insider, the company is looking to expand its reach within the mobile industry by going a bit further than smartphones and tablets with LTE-connectivity. The report suggests that the company is looking to launch its own mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO. That service would launch both in the United States and Europe at some point in the future. As a refresher, an MVNO is a service that works as a virtual carrier network, so that a company essentially leases the space necessary to use a network from already established carriers, like AT&T and Verizon Wireless, to sell that network access directly to the customer. In the United States, MVNOs include Boost Mobile, Cricket Wireless and others.

If this pans out, and if a user were to switch to Apple’s MVNO, it would mean that a customer would be paying Apple for practically everything that comes with their smartphone — including texts, calls and data access. Instead of paying one carrier, though, Apple’s MVNO and the inclusion of the Apple SIM would mean that the smartphone (or tablet) could switch between carriers when necessary to get the best coverage possible.

As far as a launch window is concerned, the report indicates that Apple is looking into the future for this, and that even if it gets everything lined up, it could be close to five years before Apple launches it to the public. The report also notes that Apple has been in talks with wireless carriers for years now, suggesting its an “open secret” that a virtual network from the Cupertino-based carrier is on the way at some point.

Interestingly enough, with reports surfacing earlier on August 3 that Apple is working on “iCloud Voicemail,” which would use iCloud and Siri to transcribe voicemails, it could be a sign that Apple is indeed working on shifting away from the carriers proper, and looking to launch something of its own down the road. It’s also worth noting that Google is also working on its own MVNO, Project Fi, which it launched in an early test phase not too long ago.

Would you ditch your carrier for Apple’s MVNO?

Saurik releases Cydia 1.1.19, now runs as mobile instead of root

2015-07-02T22:32:00.001-07:00

A pretty huge change just happened to Cydia. In the version just released, version 1.1.19, the installer now runs as mobile instead of root. This means that Cydia Substrate tweaks can now modify Cydia. This is really big news. It means that not only will existing tweak modifications remain working while Cydia is open, but it potentially means that a whole new class of tweaks become available for Cydia. Don’t like Cydia’s UI? There could be a tweak or a theme for that!

Here are the full change notes from Cydia regarding Cydia Installer 1.1.19:

What does this mean?

It means that developers can now make tweaks to modify the look and feel of Cydia directly. It also means that currently existing tweaks that modify the look and feel of iOS can now do the same for Cydia.

Cydia with Eclipse 2’s night mode
You know how Cydia goes back to the stock look when you open the app, even if you have system changing tweaks installed? Well that will no longer happen with this update.

How to get it?
Just refresh Cydia and install Cydia Installer 1.1.19.
This is pretty cool news for jailbreakers, don’t you think? What type of tweaks and themes would you like to see on Cydia?

How to fix safe mode crashes in iOS 8.4 when Activator is installed

2015-07-02T22:17:00.004-07:00

You may have noticed that your device will respring into safe mode whenever the public version of Activator is installed on iOS 8.4. The problem is, many tweaks rely on Activator as a prerequisite, and Activator hasn’t been updated to work with iOS 8.4 as of yet.
Does that mean that any tweak that relies on Activator is simply unusable until Ryan Petrich pushes out a public update? Not at all. Just install the Activator beta…

As he always tends to do before posting updates publicly, Ryan posted an Activator update for iOS 8.4 to his beta repo. You’ll simply need to add his beta repo in order to download the iOS 8.4 compatible version of Activator—version 1.9.4 beta 1.

Ryan’s beta repo: http://rpetri.ch

Once the beta repo is added, search for Cydia, and you should see the iOS 8.4 compatible version being pulled from his repo.
Keep in mind that the Activator beta is just that, a beta, so although I’ve found it to be stable, it’s still in testing. Once you update, you’ll then be able to install any tweak that relies on Activator without being placed into safe mode.
This is one of those little things that’s easy to forget, and you can find yourself needlessly troubleshooting other jailbreak tweak installs. Before you mess around with installing any tweaks, add Ryan’s beta repo and install Activator. It’ll may end up saving you a lot of time in the long run.
Are you running the Activator beta on your jailbroken device? If so, what’s the experience been like thus far?

How to jailbreak iOS 8.4 with TaiG 2.2.0

2015-06-30T21:37:00.003-07:00

TaiG 2.2.0 was just released about an hour ago, and it brings with it support for iOS 8.4. Like previous versions of TaiG’s tool, this version is Windows-only, so you’ll need to use a Windows machine or a virtual Machine.

We’ve created a full video walkthrough and tutorial to show you how to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.3-iOS 8.4 using TaiG 2.2.0. It’s an extremely easy jailbreak that only takes a few minutes if the directions are followed closely.
Note: this tool requires Windows or a virtual machine running windows. You must have iTunes installed (latest version is fine) for this to work.

Be sure to have Find My iPhone, passcode lock, and location services disabled prior to starting. Enter Airplane mode as well. It’s also best if you use a fresh iOS install, and you reboot before starting. Also, ensure that iTunes can recognize your device before running the TaiG too!

Step 1: Download TaiG 2.2.0 from our downloads page; save and extract it to your desktop
Step 2: Connect your iOS 8.4 device to your computer
Step 3: Launch TaiG 2.2.0
Step 4: Uncheck the 3K assistant checkbox
Step 5: Click Start to begin the jailbreak

Once the jailbreak completes, launch Cydia to start the Cydia initialization process. The great thing about TaiG 2.2.0 and iOS 8.4 is that the current version of Cydia Substrate works out of the box, so there are no weird workarounds or waits to endure until you can use your favorite tweaks. That said, some tweaks will need to be updated and enabled before you can enjoy them.

What do you think? Are you jailbroken on iOS 8.4 yet?

PP releases working iOS 8.4 jailbreak

2015-06-30T21:26:00.002-07:00

PP, the same team who released a previous iOS 8 jailbreak for Mac, and who was accused of taking code from TaiG, has purportedly released an iOS 8.4 jailbreak. We have been able to confirm that this jailbreak works on iOS 8.4. That said, TaIG claims that PP stole its code, but we are not able to confirm this as of yet.

Windows : Download PP Jailbreak to Jailbreak

Mac: Download PP Jailbreak to Jailbreak

Keep in mind that you may want to hold off until we hear word from community leaders like saurik. Also, Cydia Substrate and other packages may need to be updated before this is truly useful, but it looks like it’s functioning fairly well thus far.

Users of 25PP's tool should do a Modify/Reinstall of the Cydia Installer package using Cydia ASAP. (Cydia's package scripts fix this issue.)
— Jay Freeman (saurik) (@saurik) June 30, 2015

25PP's iOS 8.1-8.4 jailbreak has resurrected last year's "can't boot with passcode enabled after restoring backup" issue. (TaiG works fine.)

TaiG releases an iOS 8.4 jailbreak

2015-06-30T21:12:00.000-07:00

As expected, TaiG has released an update to its jailbreak tool for iOS 8.4. Just a while ago, PP released a jailbreak tool, which TaiG claims uses its code. For those of you who didn’t want to bother with the PP tool for this reason, you’ll be glad to know that TaiG’s updated 2.2.0 jailbreak is now available for iOS 8.4 users.
Here is the change log for TaiG 2.2.0, which isn’t much outside of the acknowledged iOS 8.4 support.

TaiG released the original jailbreak tool V2.2.0. It supports all iDevices running iOS 8.1.3-8.4.

2015-06-30T07:47:00.002-07:00

Apart from purchasing and installing jailbreak tweaks, Cydia offers a handful of other functionality as well which might go unnoticed. So we have prepared a list of useful tips and tricks that will improve your experience using Cydia.

If you’re new to the jailbreaking world, this is a good time to find out new information about Cydia. Even if you’re a long time jailbreak user, you might still find a few tips or functionality that you never explored before.

1. Refresh Cydia for new or upgradeable packages
When you launch Cydia, it will be refreshed automatically to load new packages and updates. However, if something goes wrong, you can still refresh Cydia manually.
To do so, head to the Changes tab and tap on Refresh. A loading badge will be displayed on the Source tab indicating that Cydia is refreshing.

Open the Changes tab.

Tap on Refresh.

A loading badge will be displayed on the Source tab indicating that Cydia is refreshing.

2. View all your purchased tweaks
If you’re a long time jailbreak user, you’ll probably have purchases a lot of tweaks which you’ve forgotten about. Fortunately, Cydia lets you keep track of all the tweaks which you’ve purchased though the Manage Account section.

Tap on the Manage Account option highlighted in green.

You will be prompted to sign in with Google or connect your Facebook account

Once you’re logged in, tap on Installable Purchases option to view a complete list of all the tweaks purchased till date

3. View your Cydia ID
Sometimes, developers are generous enough to gift their tweaks to users. In such a case, they will need your Cydia ID in order to be able to gift it to you. Every user has a separate Cydia ID and you can find yours in the Manage Account section.

Launch Cydia.

Go to Manage Account.

Your Cydia ID will be displayed below the Installable Purchases option labelled as ‘Cydia Account

4. Hide or unhide sections
Are you tired of scrolling through all those new themes and widgets that have been recently released? Fortunately, Cydia allows you to choose the type of packages you’d like to hide. All you have to do is to disable the sections you’re not interested in and Cydia will handle the rest.

Switch to the Sources tab and tap on All Sources.

Tap on the Edit button located in the top right corner.

A list of all the available sections along with toggles will be shown. To disable a specific section you’re not interested in, simply tap on the toggle to turn it off.

Cydia now hides the packages which belong to the disabled section.

5. Add or remove sources
Apart from the default repositories that Cydia comes with, you can add other repos as well which might feature tweak and packages that are not available on one of the default sources.

Here’s what you have to do to add a new source to Cydia:

Go to Sources.

Tap on Edit -> Add.

Type in the URL of the new source you’d like to add and tap Add Source. Cydia will now start to fetch all the packages from the new repository.

If you want to remove a source, simply swipe it to the left and tap Delete.

6. Track Package Changes
The Changes tab in Cydia shows all the newly released packages along with the installed ones which have an update pending. However, you can also track updates for packages that haven’t been installed on your device. This can quite useful if you want to know when one of your favorite packages has been updated for say iOS 8.3.

To keep track of the changes made to a package, do the following:

Search and open the package in Cydia.

Tap on the Change Package Settings option.

Enable Show All Changes.

7. Ignore Upgrades:
If you’re happy with an installed package and are not interested in installing a new update, then you have the option to ignore upgrades in Cydia. Here’s how you do it:

Go to the installed package in Cydia.

Tap on the Change Package Settings option.

Then tap on Ignore Upgrades toggle.

8. Queue package installation, update or removal
If you have a lot of tweaks installed on your iPhone, it can be a hectic task to remove them one by one. Cydia makes this task a whole lot easier by allowing you to queue the tweaks which you’d like to install, update or remove.

Open a package in Cydia.

Choose to install or remove it.

Now tap the Continue Queuing option instead of Confirm.

The package will now be added to the queue list. Once you’re done queueing all the packages, go to the Installed tab, tap on Queue in the top right corner and tap Confirm.

9. Recently installed tweaks

To find out the tweaks that have been installed recently on your device:

Go to the Installed tab in Cydia.

Tap on the Recent button.

You will now view a list of all the tweaks installed on your device in chronological order.

Launch Cydia.

Tap on More Package Sources.

Choose a source which you’d like to add.

Tap Install.

Additionally, if you have removed a default repository by mistake, you can add it back from here.

11. View packages of a specific source
While the Changes tab fetches and displays packages from all the repositories you’ve added, you can also view packages that are available on a specific source.

Go to the Sources tab.

Tap on a source you’d like to view.

A list of all the packages offered by the source will be displayed.

12. Disable Cydia Substrate to fix reboot loop
There are times when you install a jailbreak tweak that causes your device to go into a continuous bootloop or creates major issues preventing you from uninstalling the tweak. Fortunately enough, there is a way that you can disable Cydia Substrate and remove the tweak without needing to restore your device.

While your device is booting up, hold down the Volume up button.

All the tweaks that depend on Cydia Substrate will now be disabled once your device boots up.

Now go to Cydia and remove the tweak which is creating the issue.

To enable Cydia Substrate again, simply reboot your device but this time without holding any buttons.
These are some of the tips and tricks of Cydia that new jailbreak users might find useful. Even if you’re a jailbreak veteran, you might still find a tip or two which you didn’t know about.

If you know any other tips or tricks for Cydia then please share them in the comments sections below.

6 Natural Remedies For Your Skin

2015-06-26T23:08:00.003-07:00

Tired of lotions and potions with dozens of unpronounceable ingredients? Not to worry: we asked top natural health experts to recommend natural products that are good for your skin—and you. Here are their simple and surprisingly effective picks.

Important: some supplements can interfere with prescription and OTC medications or may not be safe if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition. Check with your physician or pharmacist before taking them.

Arnica
Arnica ointment may help bruises heal faster. It also reduces inflammation and pain.
Dose: Apply several times daily.
Calendula
In addition to helping bruises clear up faster, this marigold-derived extract has antibacterial properties that reduce the risk of infection in open wounds.
Dose: Apply a cream, ointment, or gel with calendula several times daily.
Honey
Applied topically, honey is antibacterial and promotes wound healing.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal can relieve itchy rashes, like poison ivy and eczema, and the sting of sunburn. “Oats contain a group of compounds called avenanthramides, which block the release of histamine, dramatically reducing redness and itching,” says Tieraona Low Dog, M.D., the author of Healthy at Home: Get Well and Stay Well Without Prescriptions.
Dose: Make a sachet by mixing 1 cup rolled oats with 1/4 cup baking soda and filling the foot from an old pair of panty hose. Tie the sachet at the end and drop it in a warm bath. Soak your body for 20 to 30 minutes. Repeat as needed.
Tamanu Oil
Native to the South Pacific islands, this oil is high in anti-inflammatory fatty acids and may spur the growth of new, healthier tissue. Chris Kilham, founder of Medicine Hunter, Inc., and author of Tales From the Medicine Trail: Tracking Down the Health Secrets of Shamans, Herbalists, Mystics, Yogis and Other Healers, uses it to treat acne, bug bites, stretch marks, sunburns, warts, and minor wounds.
Dose: One hundred percent tamanu oil is available at health-food stores. Dilute it by adding a few drops to your own lotion, or massage it directly into skin. Apply several times daily. Avoid if you're pregnant or nursing.
Tea-Tree Oil
Made from the leaves of a tree found on the northeast coast of Australia, this oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties that help heal acne, athlete's foot, nail funguses, and dandruff, according to a 2006 Clinical Microbiology study.
Dose: Dab a drop of oil directly on your skin several times daily. The 2006 study focused on gels containing 5 percent tea-tree oil, but Low Dog recommends using 25 percent to treat tough conditions, like athlete’s foot.

The Yummiest Smoothie Recipes You Won't Believe Are Full of Greens

2015-06-26T22:49:00.000-07:00

We're willing to bet the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a refreshing, delicious summertime smoothie isn't a glass of murky, green liquid. How'd we know? A little survey told us. A recent poll found that just nine percent of Americans are on board with green-colored juices, while 28 percent of us actually fear it. So, how do you embrace the going-green trend without plugging your nose to gulp it down?

We did some digging to find the most flavorful green smoothie recipes out there that provide all the health benefits of a salad -- without tasting like it. From gateway green smoothies packed with fresh, fruity berries to full-on emerald green drinks with loads of nutrient-dense plants, these smoothie recipes will have you sipping your way to indulging in veggies on a daily basis -- no nose wrinkling required.

Sweet Escape

Good for: Green smoothie dabblers
Tastes like: A creamy, slightly sweet fruit smoothie with just a hint of nut
Benefits: "This smoothie is screaming with potassium provided by the banana and the coconut water," says nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, owner of Better Than Dieting. "The nuts add fiber, protein and healthy fat to help keep you satisfied. Berries are low in calories and so tasty, and leafy greens supply iron and folic acid."

Create your own:
2-3 cups leafy greens, like kale, collard greens, chard or romaine
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1/2 banana
1/2 teaspoon citrus zest
Squeeze of citrus juice
2 tablespoons raw almonds or walnuts
1 cup coconut water
1 tablespoon raw honey
Toss all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Makes one serving.

Cydia updated to v1.1.17 to support iOS 8.3; fix ‘cannot identify your device’ issue [Updated to v1.1.18]

2015-06-24T20:49:00.002-07:00

Saurik has just released an update for the Cydia Installer (v1.1.17) to make it compatible with iOS 8.3. The update will fix the issue where Cydia would report that it “cannot identify your device” when you try to access your Cydia account.
The issue was reported by several users after jailbreaking their iOS device on iOS 8.3 using TaiG’s jailbreak tool.
Here’s the complete change log:
Update Cydia to Support iOS 8.3
On iOS 8.3, Cydia would report that it “cannot identify your device” while trying to access your account. This was due to changes on iOS 8.3, and has been fixed.
Support file:/// Repository URLs
Recent versions of Cydia have rejected “local” repository URLs. This was due to an overly-limited filter on acceptable URLs. You can now again use local repositories.
If you’ve jailbroken your device using the TaiG iOS 8.3 Jailbreak then you should get an Essential Upgrade popup. Tap on the Complete Upgrade to install Cydia 1.1.17 update.

Please note that this still doesn’t fix the Cydia Substrate issue. As reported earlier, TaiG will need to update the jailbreak kernel patch to fix the issue with Cydia Substrate.
The TaiG team had said that they would release the jailbreak today.
Update:
Saurik has released Cydia 1.1.18 to fix a bug that could cause SpringBoard to lock up if it was killed by a user via the app switcher. The bug was introduced in v1.1.17, which was released earlier today.

Cydia 1.1.18 fixes a bug introduced in 1.1.17 that would cause SpringBoard to lock up if it was killed by a user with the iOS task switcher.
— Jay Freeman (saurik) (@saurik) June 24, 2015

Here’s the complete change log for Cydia 1.1.18 update:
Killing Cydia Locked up SpringBoard
A “proactive” fix for iOS 8.3 added in Cydia 1.1.17 caused SpringBoard to lock up if users killed Cydia using the iOS task switcher. This fix is designed to fix an issue that should be present on iOS 8.3, but TaiG’s jailbreak seems to provide a workaround in the form of a kernel patch. This will be investigated for later releases, but in the mean time the fix has been removed.

TaiG iOS 8.1.3-8.3 Untethered Jailbreak Tutorial

2015-06-23T05:37:00.001-07:00

Chinese team TaiG has released an iOS 8.3 untethered jailbreak tool on Windows for compatible iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. TaiG warns that some jailbreak add-ons are not compatible with iOS 8.3 as Jay Freeman (saurik) has yet to update Cydia Substrate (Mobile Substrate) to be compatible with the latest jailbreak. The team did not release an iOS 8.3 jailbreak tool for OS X.
iOS 8.3 Jailbreak TaiG

Jailbreaking enables iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to install unapproved third-party apps, tweaks, mods, custom themes, utilities, and other content (called "packages") from Cydia, which is essentially an App Store alternative for jailbroken devices. Jailbreaking allows users to further customize and enhance their iOS devices beyond the limits that Apple imposes.

It is highly recommended that you back up your data through iTunes or iCloud before attempting to jailbreak your device, as there are various issues that could require downgrading or restoring your device and result in data loss. TaiG offers more information on its Twitter and has posted step-by-step instructions on how to use the iOS 8.3 untethered jailbreak on its website.

Here is link for download Tool Jailbreak and detail tutorial
TaiG 2.0 supports iOS 8.1.3 - iOS 8.3.

Report: BlackBerry to release an Android-powered slider device this fall

2015-06-15T08:32:00.000-07:00

According to a new report from Reuters, BlackBerry is considering releasing a smartphone with Android installed, as opposed to its own BlackBerry 10 operating system. The reasoning for the switch to Android is to allow BlackBerry to focus on software and device management. When asked about the report, BlackBerry said that it does not comment on “rumors and speculation” and is still committed to BlackBerry 10.

BlackBerry is reportedly looking to use Android on an upcoming slider device that is slated to be released later this fall. The device will feature both a touchscreen and a physical keyboard. BlackBerry briefly showed off a slider device at Mobile World Congress, but has since provided no details on it.

Should the company launch an Android device, it will reportedly still include some of the classic BlackBerry features. Currently, BlackBerry offers its Messenger app to Android and iOS users, but this report claims that it soon will also offer BlackBerry Hub to its rivals, as well. Its Android-powered device will likely feature both BlackBerry Messenger and BlackBerry Hub, as well as its patented predictive text feature.

Earlier this year, BlackBerry released an update for all BB10 devices that gave users access to Android apps via the Amazon App Store. It was also rumored earlier this year that Samsung was interested in purchasing BlackBerry, although those reports were eventually denied.

Verizon has posted a simulator of the DROID Turbo running 5.1 Lollipop

2015-06-15T08:29:00.003-07:00

We wouldn’t blame you for thinking the images above are leaks or even mockups of what Android 5.1.1 Lollipop might look like on the DROID Turbo – but you’d be wrong, because these are straight from Verizon’s website.

Verizon Wireless provides online simulators for many of its smartphones which seek to help new customers learn how to use their new device and set up things like their contacts list and email accounts. As you’ll notice in the bottom left-hand corner of the image below, it clearly states that Verizon updated its simulator for the Turbo yesterday to reflect an update to Android 5.1, even though the phone has not, in fact, been updated to that version of the OS. The phone in the simulator is clearly running a version of Android Lollipop, with all its trappings like the pull-down notification menu and white app drawer icon, that has been modified to include Verizon’s pre-installed carrier and DROID-specific apps. Whoops.

Last we heard about the Turbo’s update to 5.1 Lollipop was yesterday when David Schuster from Motorola posted to Google+ saying that they’re “still in the lab test cycle” with the update, but that things are looking good and that “I will let you know as soon as the update is available.” Prior to that, a Verizon employee posted to Google+ an image of what looked to be a DROID Turbo running 5.1 with a note saying that the update would drop sometime in mid-June, but the more recent comment from Schuster kind of nullified that rumor for us. This new flub on Big Red’s part, however, has us thinking that it’s really close to finished now, for real this time.

France gives Google 15 days to expand right-to-be-forgotten worldwide or face sanctions

2015-06-15T08:25:00.001-07:00

Google has so far been meeting the controversial ‘right to be forgotten‘ ruling in Europe by removing links only from the local site for each country – google.com remaining unaffected. A French court ruled last November that removing links from google.fr was insufficient, and ordered Google to remove the links worldwide.

Google ignored the ruling, and Reuters now reports that the French data protection regulator CNIL has given the company 15 days to comply before imposing sanctions …

CNIL said that it has been asking Google to remove links worldwide for a year, and that the company has not complied. Despite the 15-day deadline, however, its threat to impose sanctions doesn’t exactly sound immediate.

If Google Inc does not comply with the formal notice within the fifteen days the President will be in position to nominate a Rapporteur to draft a report recommending to the CNIL Select Committee (the Committee in charge of imposing sanctions in case of violation of the French data protection law) to impose a sanction to the company.

Delightfully French.

Google gave some insight last month into the “difficult and debatable judgements” it was being asked to make, such as a case of a 16 year old German national convicted of a sex crime in the U.S., whose name was reported in America while it would have been withheld in Germany due to his age.

Google debuts YouTube Gaming, goes head-to-head with Twitch and Steam Broadcasting

2015-06-15T08:22:00.001-07:00

Google has officially unveiled its plans to take on Amazon-owned video game streaming site Twitch, confirming earlier rumors that the company was working on a game streaming service of its own. The site, called YouTube Gaming, was finally announced today (via TechCrunch).

YouTube Gaming will feature pages for specific games like Twitch, with each page listing not only live streams, but also previously recorded “Let’s Play” videos from popular gaming channels. Users will get their own permanent live stream link so fans can always find their current broadcast without having to search around for it, and Google plans to roll out improved live streaming tools to make the process more user-friendly before launch.

All of the content available on the YouTube Gaming site will also be made available through a separate mobile application that will be released later this year.

Aside from the Twitch boss fight, YouTube will also have to contend with Valve’s incredibly popular Steam platform, which recently debuted an integrated streaming system of its own.

The site will launch to the public in the United States and United Kingdom this summer (no set date just yet), but so far things are off to a rocky start, as the “Coming Soon” page has already crashed under the load of people checking it out. Hopefully the service will be able to stand up to the masses when it opens.

Apple Watch hacked to run UIKit based native app

2015-06-15T08:16:00.002-07:00

Well-known Cydia developers, Steve Troughton-Smith, Adam Bell and Cydia Founder, Jay Freeman aka saurik have successfully hacked the Apple Watch on watchOS 2 to run UIKit & SceneKit apps on the device.At its WWDC 2015 Keynote, Apple announced watchOS 2 for Apple Watch, which will allow third-party apps to run natively on the device for better performance. However, even though the logic code for the Watch apps runs on the Apple Watch and they’ve access to the Digital Crown, microphone, Taptic engine, and health sensors, they’re restricted as developers have to use WatchKit to define interfaces. They can’t use superior frameworks like UIKit and SceneKit in the Watch apps like iPhone apps.

As you can see in the video below they managed to get an interactive 3D object running on the Apple Watch powered by Apple’s SceneKit framework. Steve explains that he picked SceneKit as “it is an example of something you can’t do through the WatchKit”.

This is not the first time Apple Watch has been hacked. Comex, well-known hacker had
hacked the device to run a web browser.

Update:
I’ve updated the title and the article after getting more clarity on the limitation of watchOS 2.
