Facebook now adds new reactions to posts

     Now you can do a lot more than simply "like" a post on Facebook. Aside from liking, commenting, or sharing something, people now have more options to represent there reactions toward certain posts. Some of these reactions include "love," "wow," "sad," "angry,"and "haha." "Yay" was also included among these reactions but was later removed because many people didn't quite grasp its purpose and therefore didn't use it or use it correctly. In order to get to these reactions you must hover over the like button if you are on a computer or hold down the like button on a mobile device. Once you do that you will be presented with the options and can choose the one that best matches your mood towards the post.

A Certain Date May Cause Your iPhone to Crash

     Your iPhone can permanently crash if you set the date to January 1, 1970. If you go to your calendar and settings, January 1, 1970 is as far back as you can go. That's because Unix time began on that date at midnight which would make that date zero or the starting point. Anything before that would be considered negative in time and, therefore, causes the phone to go haywire. The iPhone works immediately after the date is set back but powering of the phone and then on again results in the screen freezing on the apple logo.

College students are Tindering for "friends"

     In a recent survey of 200 college students, 73% ranked Tinder as their favorite dating app. However, they claim that they don't use Tinder for dating. More than half of them said that they use the famous app to find local friends. On the other hand, a few students claim that the other only say that they use the app to find "friends" because they are embarrassed. Not many people would like to admit to online dating. Through this recent study, Tinder has gained more popularity and it is proved that the app's purpose doesn't necessarily have to be dating but it could also start a few friendships.
