Apple rolls out iOS 10.3 beta 1, the first official sneak peak of the upcoming features of iOS 11

Apple fans recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the original iPhone’s unveiling back on January 9th, 2007, but now they have a new reason to celebrate. Apple has just released iOS 10.3 beta 1, the first pre-release version of the company’s next big iOS release. iOS 11 is obviously the most hotly anticipated software release from Apple in 2017, but we still have five months to wait before Apple shows off iOS 11 at WWDC 2017 this coming June. In the meantime, iOS 10.3 will likely be the last major iOS 10 update Apple will release in terms of new feature additions.
Rumors first surfaced on New Year’s Eve suggesting that Apple had a somewhat big update planned for iOS 10.3 — a new “theater mode” feature that iPhone and iPad users have been waiting for since iOS 10 was first released as a beta all the way back in June last year.
Supposedly accessible through the Settings app or through a Control Center shortcut, theater mode was said to be the dark mode feature users have been clamoring for. Whites and other bright colors in the iPhone’s user interfaces would be swapped out for black, grays, and other dark colors that would make the screen more comfortable to look at in low light.
Did the new theater mode finally arrive in today’s iOS 10.3 beta? Unfortunately, it doesn’t look that way. There is a new Find My AirPods feature for iPhone users who also own AirPods (obviously), but theater mode is nowhere to be found.
Apple’s new iOS 10.3 beta is compatible with the following iOS devices:
• iPhone 7
• iPhone 7 Plus
• iPhone 6s
• iPhone 6s Plus
• iPhone 6
• iPhone 6 Plus
• iPhone SE
• iPhone 5s
• iPhone 5c
• iPhone 5
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch
• iPad Pro 9.7-inch
• iPad Air 2
• iPad Air
• iPad 4th generation
• iPad mini 4
• iPad mini 3
• iPad mini 2
• iPod touch 6th generation

Here are the full release notes from Apple:

Under pressure to stymie the spread of fake news, Facebook on Wednesday modified its system for showing trending topics. The leading social network said that instead of simply showing a topic, it will include headlines from articles about the trending subjects along with sources publishing those stories."This was the most requested feature addition since the last update we made," product management vice president Will Cathcart said in a blog post.

This new Acer Predator 21X gaming laptop may be yours....for $9000!

Check out its specs:

Acer Predator 21X: Acer's new $9000 gaming laptop with a 21" curved display

Acer climbed up the charts when they developed and announced the huge Predator 21X. You may need to take gym classes to build your upper body if you want to carry this machine outside. At 8 kilograms (~19.6 pounds), it's fair for us to point out how heavy it is.

It's big for a cause. Let's take a look at the specs;

Display: 21" 2560x1080 curved LCD display | 21:9 aspect ratio | 120Hz refresh rate
Storage: 4 512 GB Solid State Drives (2 TB)
Memory: 64 GB DDR4 RAM
OS: Windows 10 Home
Graphics: 2 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 SLI chips with 16GB DDR5 memory
CPU: Intel®Core™ i7-7820HK processor
Audio: Dolby Audio™ | 4 Speakers & 2 Subwoofers with 3-way Audio
Eye Tracking: Tobii EyeX Eye Tracking Technology
Price: $8,999 (Cheap, huh?)

The sleek diamond edge design gives it a premium look

A look inside the gaming beast. It has 4 cooling fans and over 10 heat pipes

The rig has a mechanical keyboard and a tactile numerical pad that can be flipped over and turned into the trackpad/mouse

In case you're wondering, this is how it would look if you carry it around

Acer also introduced their infrared facial recognition sensors for account logins.

The EyeX tracker system is kinda like an advanced version of Samsung's "Smart Screen" feature in their phones. It tracks where you're looking and points there, so when you're gaming, just look and shoot.

These new image leaks reveal how sexy the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be!!

In"Desktop Mode", the screen is split into two in landscape orientation to enhance multitasking

I'll be dropping a massive hacktorial (hacking tutorial) 10 or 11 hours from now. In the meantime, share this channel to as many people as possible.

Sorry, I couldn't do that tutorial on SMS spoofing. While there are many 'software' and websites that help you do that online, all of them are pricy and the creators track every text you send.

There was a way to do that without spending a cent and without being spied on but it requires you to install BackTrack 5, an outdated Linux distribution. As I mentioned BackTrack is outdated and replaced with Kali, so the downloads are discontinued. (No website, legally, offers BT downloads these days).

As I said, I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you when I do another tutorial, this time that requires Kali Linux, which you probably already have since the WiFi hack we did some time back.
