Apple has confirmed that they will be hosting an event on the 25th of March where the company will most likely announce their new video streaming service. However the company is also expected to announce their news and magazine subscription service, and now we have one more publication to add to that list.
According to a report from The New York Times (via MacRumors), they claim that the Wall Street Journal will be part of Apple’s upcoming news and magazine service. For those who are unfamiliar with the rumors preceding Apple’s upcoming service, it has been suggested that the company could be planning some kind of subscription service where for a fixed monthly price, users can access unlimited news and magazines.
Last year Apple had acquired Texture which was dubbed as the Netflix of magazines, and this is how the company plans on leveraging their acquisition. It is unclear which other publications will be part of this subscription service, but The New York Times and The Washington Post have been confirmed not to be part of it.
Apple has attempted to launch a news service in the past, so it remains to be seen if this will do better. However it seems that there could be some dissatisfaction even ahead of its launch where some publishers don’t seem to think that it will be too profitable for them.

We all know that smoking is bad for your health and that kids smoking is also another issue. However the FDA thinks that they might have the answer to stop kids from smoking and that is through the creation of a PC and Xbox One game dubbed “One Leaves”. This game has been designed to scare kids into stopping.
According to the FDA, “This new initiative targets youth ages 12-17 who are either open to trying cigarettes or are already experimenting. This target regularly plays video games, so to allow these teens to experience, firsthand, the grave and addictive consequences of smoking.” Based on the statistics, it has been suggested that for every four teens who smoke in high school, three will continue smoking into adulthood.
The idea behind the game is that it is meant to scare teens into quitting cigarettes. The game will feature challenges where players are tasked to escape their cell, but unfortunately due to their characters in the game having their bodies ravaged by years of smoking, players will encounter issues such as being only able to run in short bursts, obscured vision from smoke, and so on.
It is quite a disturbing game and to be honest we’re not sure how effective it is. This is because gamers can choose not to play the game if they don’t want to, meaning that exactly how many teens this game can reach is unclear.

If you’re chatting with someone, sometimes your messages can get lost in the conversation and it might be confusing. However this is an issue that has been solved in some messenger apps, such as WhatsApp which lets you reply to certain messages with a quote to give it better context to the reader.
The good news for those who chat a lot using Facebook Messenger, it seems that Facebook has started to roll out an update to the app that will introduce threaded replies. This means that it will function similar to WhatsApp, where you can long press on a message and you should see the option to reply.
When you press that, you will see the message quoted and when you send your message, it will be included with the quote so that the user knows what you’re talking about. The feature is rolling out as we speak so you should be able to see the feature available shortly. If not, don’t worry as we imagine that it shouldn’t take too long before it is rolled out to all users.
Note that this is only for the Facebook Messenger app on mobile, which means that if you use the desktop version of Messenger to chat, you won’t be seeing that feature, at least for now.
