Apple's New Update to This Patent Proves It's Not Playing With Phone Thieves
As a company at the vanguard of modern technology, Apple applies for a lot of patents that don't always end up happening - or at least not as soon as we'd like them to. Recently, Apple updated a patent originally requested in 2010 that would use the iPhone's touch ID feature to prevent phone theft. If developed, the technology could potentially be a major breakthrough for this all-too-common crime.
It appears that Apple is hoping to use the iPhone's touch ID to covertly capture the hypothetical thief's fingerprints. However, Apple went a step further to also introduce the idea of recording the thief's voice and snap of a photo of them as they attempt to make a phone call on the stolen phone.
Though progressive, the idea does bring up many legal and technical questions. For example, how would Apple bring the fingerprints, photos, and recordings to the iPhone owner or the authorities? While there are certainly a lot of details to parse through, it's still exciting to witness the company address some of its users' concerns.
How the Theme For American Horror Story Season 6 May Have Just Leaked
On Monday, popular movie and TV review site Rotten Tomatoes may have made a huge, tiny mistake. Of course, the site has American Horror Story among its endless list of TV titles, but if you checked out the page for the show's sixth season, you'd have noticed something glaring: the sixth installment had been listed as American Horror Story: The Mist. The site has already changed it to be a more generic title. The updated version now says "Season 6" instead of "The Mist." But, well, here's how it looked early Monday afternoon.
If you haven't been following the bizarre and confusing news timeline for the show's latest installment, let's catch you up. In July, the new promotional teasers began making their way online, and we couldn't help but notice that the first six were vastly different in tone and imagery. That's when we learned there's a catch: according to FX Networks CEO John Landgraf, only one of the dozen or so mini-trailers would illustrate the real theme.

So, should we set our sights on The Mist? Maybe. After all, there is a teaser by that name, and the latest addition to this season's official posters features the same hazy imagery and terrifying creature. Let's be real, though: it's worth noting that Rotten Tomatoes isn't the most reliable source. There's no information to source us back to creator Ryan Murphy or FX. And of course, we'd had more complex hopes for a theme: we thought perhaps the new season could take us to a haunted movie set, into a dark, scary forest, close to the devil or the Antichrist, or even inside a sinister cult. And, to be fair, these are all still possibilities. After all, Ryan Murphy has a tendency to tell a whole handful of stories and side-stories within one season. But, well, is the mist at the center of all of it? We're just days away from finding out.
What That Strange Cat Imagery in Kanye West's "Fade" Video May Mean
At Sunday night's MTV Music Video Awards, Kanye West presented his new music video for "Fade." The video, starring a fit-as-f*ck Teyana Taylor, features too many hot moments to GIF, plus one very, very bizarre sequence. At the very end, Taylor's has face has morphed into that of a cat. She has a long, black tail that curls up off her rear end, and she's cuddling close to her fiancé, Iman Shupert. Their child, Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr., sits nearby. And milling around beneath them is a whole hoard of sheep. Considering most of the video involves sexy, sweaty dancing and a hot shower scene, we can't help but wonder: what's the significance of this strange, surreal shot? We did some digging, and we've got a few answers.

This May Be Proof Costco Vodka Trumps All Others
A post went up on Reddit comparing two well-known vodkas through UnderTheLabel, a Consumers Digest-like site that offers intriguing facts about alcohol and spirits. The comparison between Grey Goose Vodka and Costco's Kirkland Signature Vodka revealed that the two vodkas are made in the same region (France) using the same water. Costco's vodka scored higher in blind taste tests and is sold at less than HALF the price. This isn't the first time a comparison of the two vodkas has floated around the internet, so while we can't know for certain it's true, we're apt to think there's a reason Kirkland Vodka has such a tremendous following. Now the only question that remains is who wants to take a trip to Costco tonight?
TIL that Costco's Kirkland Signature Vodka is made in the same region, using the same water, as Grey Goose and scores higher in blind taste tests. It costs less than 1/2 the price. from todayilearned

Tiny Hamster With Tiny Cast Becomes Internet's Beloved Spirit Animal
Yes, you're seeing this correctly. It is a tiny hamster with a teeny-tiny cast on its arm. We're assuming that this is probably a dwarf hamster, which would make sense for how tiny it is, though we can't be certain because this nugget of cuteness was just dropped on Reddit with no further information. But you know what? All we need to know is that this tiny, precious animal has an even tinier cast on its arm, and we, along with the rest of the internet, are absolutely in love with it.
My Pets Sleep on $125 Beds, and It's Totally Worth It
It's official: I'm one of "those people" whose pets live more luxuriously than they do. It was never intentional, of course, but over the past three years, my dog has become pampered to the point where she now sleeps on a mattress that offers better lumbar support than mine. And you know what? It's totally worth it.
The Review
When Casper sent one of its newly released dog beds for my own pup to test, the first thing my boyfriend asked was: "Can they send a human mattress for us next?" It wasn't hard to see why he was jealous . . . the minimalist design and comfortable foam construction of the bed we unpacked was pleasing to the eye and instantly comfortable to the touch. Perhaps that's why celebrities like Kylie Jenner are loyal customers of Casper's mattress-to-door business model.
The new bed was intended for Pickle, my 3-year-old rescue Chihuahua, because it was designed around canine behavior to create an ideal sleep environment for dogs . . . but it became popular with another member of my household, too. Jiji, the ragdoll-mix cat that we recently adopted, found every opportunity to nap on the bed. She and Pickle began taking turns enjoying their fancy new sleeping surface, each stealing naps on the Casper bed when the other was busy with their own daily activities.
Why It's Worth It
While the $125-$225 price point of Casper's dog bed model is certainly steeper than many would consider for their pet's sleeping situation, I'm a convert. Trust me on this: since receiving the bed, there have been serious changes in my animal family members' sleep patterns. If $125 means fewer 4 a.m. get-in-my-face-and-meow sessions or crazed midnight sprints around the living room, it's a price I'm willing to pay! Even though Pickle and Jiji are the ones sleeping on a heavenly foam mattress, it's affected my own slumber for the better.
Design-lovers will adore the mattress for an entirely different reason; available in gray, blue, and sand-beige options, the sleek design of the mattress is much more elevated than the sort of beds you typically find in pet stores. So whether you are looking for a prettier alternative to tacky pet products or want to improve your nightly routine, this is the pick for you - and Jiji would remind you to pick up one for your cat, also.

5 Things No One Warns You About When Fostering Shelter Pets
My entry into the world of foster animals came in October of last year, after my puppy fever hit a record high. Several months spent religiously stalking my neighborhood shelters led to a strange little face popping up on my screen – it was a Pekingese with bulgy eyes that weren't quite right and a wild fur coat that made a dog somehow look more like a lion with growth issues. And what do you know, he needed a foster home. I quickly fired off a "Can we foster this guy?" text to my boyfriend, and without waiting for a response, I was hurrying out of my office to pick him up from the shelter.
Swooping that pup up from Social Tees animal rescue turned our home into a revolving door for foster pets, welcoming a new four-legged friend each time the last found his forever family. The laughter, joy, and occasional chaos these animals have brought into our cramped one-bedroom apartment in New York has been the absolute best experience.
If you're at all considering joining the foster community, here's just a small dose of what you can expect.
Scared Pup Rescued From Storm Drain and Reunited With Family
A couple weeks ago, a curious pup named Edgar wandered away from his home and family only to be missing for a week. In that time, the Ohio town where he lived went through numerous storms, which unfortunately Edgar is afraid of. Edgar's owner, Sean Ryan, told Today that he often lets the dog and his other rescue dog, Oscar, out to run around, knowing that they always come back. "They are good boys, but they love to sneak out," he told Today. "They'll get loose and come home on their own within a night or two."
This time, however, seven days went by and Edgar didn't return. Fortunately, luck was on Edgar's side, and Ryan found him whimpering in a storm drain. The fire department was called and Edgar was freed, suffering minor injuries. He was soon returned home to Oscar and showered with love and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! Scroll through the Imgur gallery above to see Edgar's whole story in photos.

"They Can't Censor It": How This Breast Cancer Survivor's Tattoo Is Taking Over Instagram
Alison Habbal was 36 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. To combat the disease, she underwent a lumpectomy, which resulted in breast scarring and the loss of her nipple. Afterward, the Sydney, Australia, resident decided to forgo plastic surgery to re-create her nipple and instead opted for a mastectomy tattoo.
In an interview with BBC, Alison said, "I didn't want a fake nipple made from some other piece of flesh. I thought, 'I'm just going to get a tattoo.'" After looking for the perfect tattoo artist on the internet, Alison picked a New Zealand-based artist, Makkala Rose, who designed Alison's gorgeous floral ink.
Pictures of the tattoo have since been shared by Alison herself and many body-art-centric Instagram accounts, racking up thousands of "likes." Perhaps the best part of Alison's liberating photos is that they aren't going anywhere. Alison explained, "Because there's no nipple, I can blast it everywhere all over Facebook and Instagram, and they can't censor it, which I think is really funny."
Look ahead to see the genesis of Alison's now-viral tattoo.

The Night Of: This Quote Leaves the Door Open for Season 2
The Night Of broke out as the Summer's most addictive drama, and though it hasn't been long since the finale aired, we're already craving more. Unfortunately, the show has always beeen billed by HBO as an eight-part "limited production." Unlike something like American Horror Story, which is also technically a miniseries, The Night Of was never planned as an anthology. That means that HBO isn't planning on reviving it with different characters and a new setting. It might be for the best; remember True Detective season two?
Then again, executor producer Steven Zaillian said some very interesting things during the Television Critics Association's Summer press tour. When asked about a second installment, Zaillian said, "We're thinking about it and if we come up with something we all feel is worthy of doing, we'll do it. This was designed as a stand-alone piece. That being said, there are ways of certainly kind of taking what it feels like and what it's about and doing another season on another subject."
Ohhh! There's hope after all!

The triple threat surprised Marc's fans at his Radio City Music Hall concert on Aug. 27, taking the stage in a plunging gown and sleek half-up hairstyle for a chill-inducing performance of "No Me Ames" with her talented former love.

What's the Deal With the Cat on The Night Of?
While some viewers of The Night Of grew invested in characters like Nasir Khan (Did he kill Andrea or not?!) and John Stone (Will his eczema ever go away?!), others were more attached to an unexpected star - the cat. He became such a force on screen that viewers even began to theorize that the cat was the killer. He wasn't, of course, but he's still a vital part of the series.
The cat is first seen in the pilot, getting in the way of Naz and Andrea's spontaneous tryst due to the Naz's allergies. Andrea lets the cat out of her home through a gated entrance, and because of the unfortunate events that send the story into motion, he's left outside for a bit. Soon enough, Stone examines the crime scene and lets the cat back in. While the gate becomes an important part of the trial as a potential break-in point, it's also worth noting that Stone takes pity on the now ownerless cat and takes him to a local animal shelter. Despite initially seeming indifferent, Stone actually calls to check up on him. When he learns that he hasn't yet been adopted, he takes the cat in to prevent him from a grim fate.
You may be thinking, "OK, but are we really watching a love story between a man and his new cat?" Well, yes, but it's also more meaningful than that when you consider that the cat mirrors Naz in many ways. For instance:
- When we first meet Naz, he appears innocent and curious, much like a cat.
- Stone stumbles on both the cat and Naz accidentally. Despite being inexperienced with feline care and handling murder cases, he accepts the challenges of taking on both.
- Like Naz, Stone is allergic to cats. Because of this, he keeps the cat in a room behind a closed door and only interacts with him minimally - mainly to feed him, give him toys, and clean his litter box. It's a bit like Naz in prison, and Stone trying his best to help him out.
- Both the cat and Naz give Stone trouble. The former triggers allergies, and the latter doesn't make defending him easy since he often withholds information and gets involved in things like drug smuggling in prison.
- A man who helps Stone with his eczema tells him to get rid of the cat if he wants to cure his allergies. Stone replies with a sad, "But I don't wanna get rid of the cat." Likewise, he sticks by Naz despite how often the trial doesn't look to be going their way.
In the finale, Stone returns the cat to the shelter. This comes immediately after Naz's lawyer Chandra calls him to the stand at his trial, a move which has Stone convinced that he'll be convicted. The cat's fate is uncertain until the end of the episode; the last few seconds show him inside Stone's place. And he's actually let loose rather than behind a door! (Cue the internet's collective sigh of relief.) Similarly, Naz is released from prison, though his story's left quite a bit more ambiguous. Prison has changed him to the point where he doesn't immediately bounce back to his old life, so it's hard to say if he'll ultimately experience the safety the cat receives.
Two things are clear though: the cat is way more important than he appears, and he may just be the show's breakout star.

Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's "Side to Side" Video Will Give You Workout Envy
If you loved Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's performance at the MTV VMAs on Sunday, you have to check out their new video for "Side to Side." Grande must have learned how to do those cycling moves months ago, because she does them leading a class of incredibly fit dancers in the video, as well. If you've heard the song before, you know it's catchy as all get out, and the video definitely does it justice. Perhaps we'll see these ladies as nominees at next year's VMAs?
Twitter Had a Lot of Feelings About The Night Of Finale . . . and That Cat
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
HBO's The Night Of closed its anxiety-ridden debut season with a well-received finale that answered a lot of questions . . . specifically about that cat. Viewers were finally able to breathe a deep sigh of relief when Naz's attorney John Stone (John Turturro) is able to - spoiler alert - cite reasonable doubt and secure Naz a mistrial, consequently releasing him from prison. The best moment, though, is the return of Andrea's cat that John ultimately decides to keep despite his severe allergic reaction to it. Within minutes of the finale, people totally thought that cat was a metaphor for John's relationship with Naz.
Naturally, people on Twitter had a lot of feelings about the finale. From frustration to relief, look ahead at the many emotions expressed.
12 Shows to Watch After You Finish The Night Of
Adam Levine Spends a Totally Normal Sunday Dressed as a Giant Turtle
Adam Levine might be a celebrity, but he puts his pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. . .and then of course he changes into a giant turtle costume and films a music video. The Maroon 5 frontman was photographed doing just that in LA on Sunday, when he suited up in a costume that was a bizarre cross between a turtle and a bug, and made some faces for the cameras before hopping in a car and driving around Beverly Hills. Is the video for a bug exterminator's jingle? Is he a big fan of Kafka's Metamorphosis? Does Behati Prinsloo have a secret turtle fetish? We'll just have to wait and find out.
This Mom Is Defending Her Son's Right to Wear Sparkly Tutus in Public
Jen Anderson Shattuck's 3-year-old son loves trucks, plums, jigsaw puzzles, and sparkly tutus. He wears them everywhere, and Shattuck says it's a nonissue in their community, though she fields a few questions here and there. Her son, if asked, "will say the tutus make him feel beautiful and brave" and that "there are no rules about what boys can wear or what girls can wear." Until a man came up to the pair at the park to say, "I'm just curious, why do you keep doing this to your son?" neither of them felt like wearing tutus in public was anything but fine.
"He wasn't curious. He didn't want answers. He wanted to make sure we both knew that what my son was doing - what I was ALLOWING him to do - was wrong," Shattuck wrote in a Facebook post after the incident. "'She shouldn't keep doing this to you,' he said. He spoke directly to my son. 'You're a boy. She's a bad mommy. It's child abuse.' He took pictures of us, although I asked him not to; he threatened me. . . . I called the police. They came, they took their report, they complimented the skirt. Still, my son does not feel safe today."
Shattuck continues her post, doing her best to spin an unfortunate situation into a positive.
I will not be intimidated. I will not be made to feel vulnerable or afraid. I will not let angry strangers tell my son what he can or cannot wear. The world may not love my son for who he is, but I do. I was put on this earth to make sure he knows it. I will shout my love from street corners. I will defend, shouting, his right to walk down the street in peace, wearing whatever items of clothing he wants to wear. I will show him, in whatever way I can, that I value the person he is, trust in his vision for himself, and support his choices - no matter what anybody else says, no matter who tries to stop him or how often.

Hannah Jeter's Engagement Ring Has a Sparkly New Friend
The only thing that could upstage Hannah Davis's sexy slit J. Mendel dress on the CMA Awards red carpet was her engagement ring, but it's been quite some time since then.

You Need to Update Your iPhone NOW - There's Been an iOS Security Breach
Apple unexpectedly released a software update, iOS 9.3.5, to combat a massive security breach that appears to have taken the tech company by complete surprise. An Israeli surveillance company currently referred to as the NSO Group infiltrated the iPhone's software to extract any of its users' emails, text messages, contacts, and more.
The University of Toronto's Citizen Lab found that the NSO Group had developed highly sophisticated technology that sends iPhone users legitimate-looking text messages from companies like Facebook, Google, or the Red Cross. Inside these text messages were links that, when clicked on, would essentially grant the NSO Group complete access to said phone. Based on Citizen Lab's report, it appears that the group was primarily targeting human rights activists and journalists.
Thankfully, Apple has rushed to fix the terrifying hack by releasing the aforementioned software update and it is recommended that you install the update immediately. You can find the update by going to your settings, clicking on General, then Software Update, and hitting install.

Even though John Legend and Chrissy Teigen opted to skip the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, they still managed to be a part of the action. The couple helped their new friend, Olympian Aly Raisman, get ready for the show, and the gold medal-winning gymnast perfectly documented it all on social media. Not only did she snap a sweet photo with their 4-month-old daughter, Luna, but she even captured a cute moment between John and her brother, Brett, as the singer helped him with his tie. The adorable friendship first started on Aug. 25 when the supermodel asked Aly if they could be pals, resulting in an adorable conversation on Twitter. See their pre-VMAs party above, then check out the Final Five (minus one)'s incredible night.

Liam Payne and His Dog Howling at Each Other Will Make Your Day
We're suckers for hot guys with dogs, so naturally we're eating up every single picture One Direction's Liam Payne posts of his massive Great Dane pup, Watson. Liam and his "little monster," as he affectionately calls Watson, are practically inseparable now that One Direction is on break. Most recently, Liam and current girlfriend Cheryl Fernandez-Versini have set out to teach Watson some new tricks. We're hoping the Instagram pictures and videos of Watson will continue, because who doesn't love giant pups that play soccer, give sloppy kisses, and listen to commands less than half the time?
Blue Ivy Wanted Absolutely Nothing to Do With the VMAs, and the Internet Was Here For It
Blue Ivy graciously decided to give the peasants of the world a glimpse at her cuteness when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in NYC on Sunday night, strutting down the event's white carpet hand-in-hand with her date, Beyoncé. Blue is known for having quite the personality, so while everyone in the crowd couldn't get enough of her, the 4-year-old future superstar looked beyond over it. When you're used to hanging out in Paris and chilling on yachts all day, the VMAs just don't cut it, you know? The internet had a field day with Blue's hilariously unimpressed expression, giving the reactions to Prince George's expressions a run for their money.
Emily Ratajkowski Just Made a "Diaper Bikini" the Sexiest Thing on Earth
At first glance, Emily Ratajkowski's wearing a floral bikini any girl could get behind. But the supermodel is vacationing in Greece, and honey, that calls for some sexy swimsuits, accessorized to boot with body chains. Once Emily shared a few different angles of her Dolce & Gabbana two-piece, we recognized its daring, cheeky allure.
From behind, her bottom features just a tiny sliver of fabric. Yes, it's almost reminiscent of a diaper, albeit a very stylish diaper. Of course, Emily pulled off the look with ease, strutting her stuff along the beach and inspiring us to invest in the same floral bikini that will never stop turning heads. Read on to get a look, then shop the D&G set.
Did Kim Kardashian's Diamond Ring Look Bigger at the VMAs? That's Because It Was
Kim Kardashian had plenty to smile about when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City on Sunday night. In addition to the small but monumental task of introducing Britney Spears's triumphant return to the VMAs stage, the reality star also beamed from the audience when her husband, Kanye West, spoke candidly to the crowd about art, his Taylor Swift feud, and making history. But while Kanye's infectious smile was probably enough to make her night, there was something very sparkly on her finger that we couldn't help but notice. While hitting the red carpet in a sexy black dress, Kim revealed a massive new diamond ring that was noticeable larger than the 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz rock Kanye proposed with back in 2013. According to People, the ring, which appears to be an emerald cut with more sharply defined corners, was a recent gift from Kanye. If this is just an average, everyday present, what will he do for Christmas this year?!
Chrissy Teigen's Lacy Bra Top Will Convince You to Buy 1 of Your Own
On insanely hot days, we're conflicted between wearing as little as possible and remaining semi-modest. Sure, we could pull a Gigi Hadid and just wear a lacy lingerie set or even go braless for comfort like Kendall Jenner did, but we prefer a little something in the middle, a cross between a bra and a crop top. This style isn't just sexy, but also provides coverage for big- and small-breasted ladies alike. The straps give you support while the deep cut reveals just enough skin.
When we saw that Chrissy Teigen wore her sexy version out during a stroll in NYC, it was proof this top is here to stay. We're now rethinking our own attire for a girls' night out, especially when there's a range of similar affordable bra tops out there. This is as close to leaving the house in your bra as you can get while still appearing like a street style star - just shop the options ahead.
Tinashe Took Blake Lively's Maternity Jumpsuit For a Walk at the VMAs
At Cannes, Blake Lively debuted this red-hot Juan Carlos Obando jumpsuit, styling it with sandals, a dainty necklace, and the slightest hint of a baby bump. Fast forward to the VMAs, and singer Tinashe's rocking the look just as well. While her design was slightly tweaked, featuring a cutout at the side instead of a belt, the silhouette's pooling pants flattered Tinashe's figure.
Mind you, Blake Lively is at least five feet taller than Tinashe, and yes, she was pregnant when she wore this outfit. While both ladies wrapped the connecting scarf around their necks differently, there's no denying the truth: this striking piece would look good on anyone. Read on to see how both Tinashe and Blake accessorized their ensembles, then shop for a jumpsuit that you'll pull off like a pro, no matter your body type.
This Insane Watermelon Skinning Trick Will Make Your Jaw Drop
We all know how to cut watermelon into cubes and slices, but how many times have your guests really been impressed with those shapes? One former NASA engineer, Mark Rober, figured out the coolest party trick that presents the fruit in a way you'd never imagine.
Rober takes two watermelons close in size - the first he skins completely by removing outer slices with a knife, then smooths its surface out with a dish scrub. The second watermelon is cut into two equal halves and then gutted entirely. Place the skinned watermelon into the empty vessel, and you've got yourself a twist-apart melon.
