That ‘Check For Update’ Button On Android Won’t Be Useless Anymore

Android users know this all too well: repeatedly tapping "check for update" will eventually yield a software update to arrive. Just keep at it and it will come. Except usually, nothing ever comes, causing that button to become pretty much useless. That's changing now. According to Google software engineer Elliott Hughes, as long as users have the latest version of Google Play Services installed, tapping the check for update button will finally reveal an update, suppose there is one. 'Check For Update' Now Works As Intended Hughes confirmed the change via Google+, posted Sept 23: "If you're running a current Google Play Services, you shouldn't need to sideload an OTA or flash a system image just because you're impatient," he wrote. In other words, it doesn't matter if a certain user is part of Google's current rollout group or not — they will still get the update if they keep hammering away the check for update button. D...

Hackers Lock Out iPhone And Mac Users, Demand Bitcoin Ransom: Here's How To Stay Safe

Hackers are locking out users from their iPhone and MacBook despite having two-factor authentication turned on by exploiting Apple's "Find My" feature, holding the devices ransom. To return access to their rightful owners, the cybercriminals are demanding payment in Bitcoin, which is their preferred currency due to its hard-to-trace nature. iPhone And Mac Users, Beware According to MacRumors, hackers logged in to users' iCloud accounts and remotely locked their iPhone and MacBook with the Find My service on iCloud.com by enabling Lost Mode. In other words, the perpetrators need only a user's credentials to set a passcode and lock them out of their devices even when two-factor authentication is active. Users have taken things to Twitter to spread the word while also providing a closer look at the situation. How To Stay Safe From Hackers At the moment, there's no easy solution for the iPhones and MacBooks that have already fallen ...

This Ancient Frog Had Jaws Strong Enough To Eat Small Dinosaurs And Crocodiles

Beelzebufo ampinga, an ancient frog also known as the "devil frog," had a strong-enough jaw to include small dinosaurs and crocodiles in its diet, according to a new study. The chilling revelation came from a study that analyzed the biting power of South American horned frogs, which are the closest living descendants of Beelzebufo. Beelzebufo Ampinga: The Devil Frog The frogs of today do not exactly inspire horror stories, but a certain species of horned frogs in South America, the Ceratophrys cranwelli, are very aggressive and can eat animals that are the same size as they are. Researchers thought that by using the C. cranwelli as their model, they can estimate the biting power of the extinct Beelzebufo, which used to live in Madagascar about 65 million to 70 million years ago. In a paper that was published in the Scientific Reports , the researchers used contraptions known as bite force sensors on small horned frogs. For frogs with heads that m...
