In the wake of a horrific attack on its Paris headquarters, satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo has responded by upping its print run from a typical 60,000 to upwards of 3 million. This commemorative issue, Tout est pardonné (“All is forgiven”), has been met by such demand that the publisher is turning to alternative forms of media to reach as many viewers as possible.

An official mobile app was just uploaded to iTunes, Google Play, and the Windows Store, which will allow people around the world to purchase a digital copy of the latest Charlie Hebdo issue. Since the perpetrators of this heinous… more

Like most people who cook in a small kitchen, I’m very wary of adding anything to my drawers and cabinets unless I’m sure it’s going to be essential to my cooking arsenal or that it can be used in multiple ways.

Enter the potato ricer. Yes, it looks like a giant garlic press. Yes, it seems like it only does one thing (create mashed potatoes) that you can easily do with other tools, including your basic fork. Yes, it takes up a fair amount of drawer space.

But you need one in your life. Why? Because it creates the most heavenly, fluffy, silky mashed potatoes without over-processing them.

Finding the right mix of custom ROM, kernel, and tweaks for my OnePlus One has left me flashing every new release I come across. This has led to many hours going through thread after thread trying to find the latest and best software out there for my phone. While I do enjoy the hunt, I would rather have a centralized location that covers all my bases, so that’s why I have started using OnePlus One, an app by Alex Inthiaano.

With his app, you can go through a catalog of all of the ROMs, kernels, apps, mods, and desktop software available for the OnePlus One. Root access is not needed for this… more

I know people who hate mayonnaise. I know people who detest ketchup. But I know almost no one that hates mustard, and that’s because mustard has a complexity and depth that bland mayo and ketchup do not. Mustard runs the gamut from smooth and subtle to sharp and spicy, especially when you know how to make your own.

My first exposure to nicer mustard (basically anything that wasn’t French’s Yellow) were those commercials where a Rolls-Royce pulls up to another fellow fancy man who is about to dine (in his car!) and asks, “Pardon me. Do you have any Grey Poupon?” That is probably most of… more

A highly useful, yet unrecognized and under-appreciated feature in Apple’s iOS 8 is the ability to seamlessly convert incoming texts regarding future dates into calendar events. Messages like “Let’s chill tomorrow” can be tapped on and quickly added to the calendar. It’s convenient and easy, but unfortunately, not available on most Android devices. However, it’s pretty easy to get using Inviter (SMS to Calendar) from developer Sergey Beliy.

Step 1: Install the Inviter App

Inviter (SMS to Calendar) is currently available for free on the Google Play Store, as the app is still in beta… more

Can’t stand seeing your Facebook news feed full of peoples’ good news and awesome accomplishments? Those oversharing friends are, in a sense, hampering their great news simply by sharing it. If you hold back and keep your accomplishments from friends, you might find even more success than if you’d shared with your support network.

No News Is Better News,

According to Reddit user maybe_a_little, keeping good news to yourself offers a chance to make big life changes without negative feedback. If you’re making a change in your life—say, changing your ideology or giving up on an unhealthy… more

Most of you already know that a zero-day exploit is an exploit that has not yet been revealed to the software vendor or the public. As a result, the vulnerability that enables the exploit hasn’t been patched. This means that someone with a zero-day exploit can hack into any system that has that particular configuration or software, giving them free reign to steal information, identities, credit card info, and spy on victims.

Developing a zero-day is the “Holy Grail” for elite hackers as it can bring significant notoriety, rewards, and maybe even great wealth. Those are just some of the… more

Happy hour is a great way to wind down after a long day at work or school, to relax with friends and enjoy a well-deserved drink. While the experience of this on-the-cheap imbibing promotion is great, the hours usually aren’t.

Since happy hour is partly intended to bring in customers during weekdays, the time interval in which these specials run tend to fall between 3 and 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday. I’m just about always working during these hours, so I usually miss out on all the specials. Even if I allow myself enough time to grab a discounted drink, dealing with traffic just about… more

S Health is one of the biggest selling points for newer Samsung Galaxy devices. It offers a centralized place to view and manage data collected by all of the various sensors like the heart rate monitor.

As wonderful as this service is, all of its features are not available in all countries. Presumably due to legal concerns, Samsung removed S Health features like “Stress Level” and “Heart Rate” in several regions across the globe.

But developer Jiannist has recently created an Xposed module that will remove these region-based restrictions. With this one installed, you’ll be able to use all of… more
