Image first surfaced on the Facebook group Take The Piss Geelong, though the local community has reportedly already known about the carving for a few months. The carving may be remembered as the largest picture of a male organ to date. No group or single person has yet claimed responsibility for what has been dubbed an Aussie ...
New Motorola device pictures leak. Dual camera and more

Tinder is finally encrypting its content
Tinder informs its users that it has finally managed to fix a semi-serious hole in its security measures. This hole allowed people with reasonable hacking skills to reveal not only Tinder users’ pictures but also their activities on the service; namely the left and right swipes.

Now though you can sleep soundly, loverboys and girls, as your pictures have been encrypted since 6th of February and the rest of the data has been since June ...
Samsung Galaxy Note 9’s S-Pen is will be pretty nifty
Ice Universe strikes again! This time one of our favourite leaksters tweets us about the Galaxy Note 9’s stylus pen.

Instagram will now allow you to add questions to Stories
Instagram is getting a lot of noise lately! It not only releases its own version of YouTube, IGTV, not only receives a Lite version, but now also adds a new feature: the ability to ask questions in its Stories.

This, when coupled with the already existing yes/no polls and emoji sliders (ugh…) means that your loyal, brain-dead Instagram followers will have plenty of ways to regurgitate as detailed an answer as possible.If the feature is not available on your Instagram then it should ...
