Do you love your iPhone? Like really love it? Well, Apple might just have something to say about that.

The company is reportedly working on new features for iOS that are meant to help curb our collective iPhone addiction, which will be unveiled at next week’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

The report comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who reports that Apple will introduce a new “Digital Health initiative,” which will include “a series of tools to help users monitor how much time they spend on their devices and inside of certain applications.” Read more…

Have you ever tried to follow a recipe from Instagram or Pinterest, only for it to go horribly wrong?

The YouTubers behind Hellthy Junk Food attempted to recreate Tasty’s giant macaron. In the original version, chefs are able to whip up a massive pink cookie the size of a dinner plate. 

Hellthy Junk Food’s version didn’t go so well. The team’s attempt at the macaron’s shell fell flat in the oven — literally. The turquoise, rainbow tie-dye, and chocolate shells didn’t rise, so their massive macarons looked like more like unfortunate pancakes. 

Even if their macarons lacked in aesthetic, Hellthy Junk Food’s pastries still tasted good.  Read more…

If bulky over-ear headphones and tiny earbuds had a baby, it’d probably look a lot like a set of on-ear headphones. The good news is that you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. That’s because on-ear headphones have the benefit of having speakers large enough to produce hi-fi sound (the way over-ear headphones do) while remaining compact enough to stow away for easy transport (the way earbuds do).

The makers of quality on-ear options can pack the ear cups full of technology, like active noice cancellation and radio frequency technology while ensuring that the headphones are still light weight and produce great audio full of rich bass and crisp mids. On-ear headphones typically have have adjustable headbands to fit all head sizes, plus padded cushions that relieve pressure on the ears, regardless of how expensive or cheap the price. Read more…

Everyone wishes they had superpowers.

Let’s be real: At some point in your life, you’ve probably stared at the slightly too far TV remote and tried to use telekinesis to bring it closer.

I’m sure you have a take on the Samantha Bee situation. There’s no chance it’s as good as Sally Field’s.

Wednesday night, Samantha Bee caused outrage for calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt” after the president’s daughter shared a photo of herself hugging her child — all while ICE separates parents from their children. 

Samantha Bee apologized. Sally Field did not.

“I like Samantha Bee a lot, but she is flat wrong to call Ivanka a cunt. Cunts are powerful, beautiful, nurturing and honest,” Field wrote on Twitter.
