Yesterday, Sean Spicer said that Hitler, “didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.” It was completely wrong and he apologized. One version of Spicer’s apology was posted on Facebook, and it appears to be just as offensive as his original statement. The only problem? It’s totally fake.
Staying active is a big part of staying healthy, and that’s often the reason given for why you should wear a fitness tracker; they’re a constant reminder to get up off the couch. But stress can be just as detrimental to your health as sloth, so Garmin hopes its new vívosmart 3 will finally quantify what you already…
As per Samsung’s announcement and also confirmed by various carriers, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is expected to be released on the 21st of April. However the good news is that if you’re a T-Mobile customer and you pre-ordered the handset for yourself, you’ll be pleased to learn that you might be getting it earlier than expected.
According to reports, it seems that some T-Mobile customers have been getting messages from the carrier that informs them that their handsets will be shipping out on the 19th of April, a good 2 days ahead of its official release. We’re not sure if all pre-orders will be going out this early, or if only those who pre-ordered really early on qualify for this early shipping.
Either way if you haven’t received the message from T-Mobile then we guess it’s safe to say that you can expect your order to arrive on the 21st of April just like everyone else’s. That being said, we should remind you guys that Samsung has recently confirmed that Bixby Voice will not be launched alongside the Galaxy S8.
All of Bixby’s other features are expected to be part of it, but the part that we guess most users are looking forward to testing won’t. It is expected to eventually find its way to the Galaxy S8 later this spring, but no specific dates have been mentioned.

The LG G6 has been officially launched and as far as security features are concerned, it does come with a fingerprint scanner. However it seems that it could soon be getting another security feature in the form of 3D facial scanning, or at least that’s according to a report from The Investor who claims that the feature will be arriving this June via a software update.
According to the report, apparently LG has been working with a facial recognition solutions company by the name of Oez, and that following a series of negotiations and testing, the company’s facial scanning software will be deployed in the LG G6 come this June in the form of a software update. This is rumored to be launched in conjunction with LG Pay which was confirmed to be released in South Korea this coming June.
Take it with a grain of salt for now but if this does happen, LG could be the first smartphone maker to offer up facial scanning technology for mobile payments, whereas in the past the common tactic was to use fingerprint recognition. There have been talks that Apple could adopt a similar feature, but that has yet to be confirmed.
Samsung has included facial recognition in the Galaxy S8 as one of the security options, but it seems that the feature was only intended to be for “fun” which makes sense given that it appeared to be easily tricked into unlocking using a photograph.

Thanks to recent leaks, we have been hearing rumors that Motorola has yet another budget handset in the works in the form of the Moto C. Now in a post by Evan Blass on VentureBeat, additional details about the handset have been revealed, such as how it could potentially be replacing the Moto E as the company’s budget handset lineup.
According to the report, the Moto C is expected to be Motorola’s most affordable smartphone lineup to date, so where exactly that puts the Moto E family remains to be seen. As to whether or not the Moto E will be killed off remains unclear, but that’s unlikely given that we have been hearing reports of a certain Moto E4 Power.
The report also echoes what we have been hearing so far in terms of specs, but it also revealed that there will be two Moto C variants: the “normal” Moto C and the Moto C Plus. Both handsets are rumored to be powered by MediaTek chipsets with the normal Moto C sporting a 32-bit processor, while the Moto C Plus will use a 64-bit processor.
RAM is expected to vary between both models anywhere between 1GB to 2GB. Battery sizes also appear to be wildly different with the base model sporting a 2,350mAh battery while the Moto C Plus is rumored to pack a 4,000mAh battery. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully the official details will surface soon.

One of the many complaints that users have against Android is the fact that it takes OEMs too long to issue updates, especially when it comes to major Android builds where we would only see a release several months after Google has made it available. However it looks like Huawei could be getting an early start on things.
In a report on the XDA forums, it seems that Huawei has already begun testing out Android O for the Huawei Mate 9 that was launched last year. It should be noted that Android O as it currently stands is only available as a developer preview and it isn’t even finalized yet, but we guess Huawei wants to get an early start on things which we guess is a good idea.
Of course this doesn’t necessarily guarantee that Huawei will be timely with Android O’s release for when the update is released to the public, but assuming the report is true, Huawei really wouldn’t have any excuse to not have it ready in time. In any case the release times have improved over the years, although judging by the latest Android distribution figures, there is still a long way to go before Android sees Apple’s iOS adoption figures.

The Nintendo Switch comes with its own software, and as is the case with all software and hardware, there are bound to be security vulnerabilities, holes, and exploits that have yet to be uncovered. Nintendo wants to know what they are which is why they have recently launched a bounty program for just that.
This will see Nintendo team up with HackerOne in which they are offering hackers rewards of up to $20,000 if they can find a security vulnerability with the Switch. Of course this $20,000 bounty is the max payout and it will range from as low as $100 and go up to $20,000, so safe to say that the flaw needs to be pretty massive for Nintendo to be willing to pay out that much.
According to Nintendo, they are specifically looking for flaws with regards to “System vulnerabilities regarding Nintendo Switch: Privilege escalation from userland, Kernel takeover, and/or ARM® TrustZone® takeover.” They are also looking for “Vulnerabilities regarding Nintendo-published applications for Nintendo Switch: Userland takeover”.
Apparently it seems that Nintendo’s plan has worked because at least three bounties have already been paid out, and we expect that they should be addressed in future patches.

A couple of weeks ago, a leaked poster revealed the next potential Call of Duty game which assuming the poster was accurate, would be based on World War II. So the question is when will the game be released? For those who are curious, a new image of the poster has been posted onto Reddit which reveals a 3rd of November release date.
Now obviously this should be taken with a grain of salt for now because for all we know, the poster could be a fake. However given that last year’s Call of Duty was also released in November, we suppose seeing Activision choosing to release a new title almost exactly a year later doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch.
Also this poster seems to “confirm” that the next Call of Duty game will be set in World War II, which will be a pretty huge departure considering that the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was set in the future, something that based on the initial trailer posted on YouTube did not go down well with fans.
However Activision was right in that they needn’t have worried as the game ended up proving to be a success. In any case what do you guys think? Is this poster the real deal or are we looking at a fake?
