China bans Winnie the Pooh from the Internet. For a day
Yeah, Internet in China. We have all heard the stories of Chinese government blocking content that it deems unfit for its citizens. Facebook? No dice. Twitter? Please.

A number of Rogers branded phones will be getting updates tomorrow
Among them are Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Moto G4 Plus and, perhaps most importantly, BlackBerry KEYone.

These issues are, reportedly, somehow related to the Rogers network, with Rogers customers complaining about being occasionally unable to make calls and write texts. Sounds like a pretty basic, and large, issue which needs to be fixed A.S.A.P.We do not know which world regions will receive the update first, nor how large or small it will ...
