Pagan Breakfast God Mask Celebrates Bacon, Eggs, and Toast

Growing up, Kellogg’s and Post had convinced me that sugary cereals drowning in milk were “part of a nutritious breakfast.” But as I grew up, I came to realize that protein is a much more important start to the day. Nowadays, I have some eggs and maybe some breakfast meat to get my day going. And when I’m feeling like a little carbs to go with, some toast and butter fills the bill quite nicely.

To celebrate my love for these great American breakfast foods, I should probably start wearing this Pagan Breakfast God Mask.

This ridiculous tribute to our morning meat and carb ritual comes from the deranged minds at Archie McPhee, who insist you don’t need to wait until Halloween to dress up like this. Actually, I think this could make a great Mardi Gras costume, and that’s coming up in just about a month. The only thing it’s missing for New Orleans’ big party is a bowl of grits, but I suppose you could just carry that around in a cup and eat some while you catch beads and doubloons.

Apple Dropped Its Plan To Encrypt iCloud Backups After FBI Complained

Apple is always known to actively defend users’ privacy – no matter whether it is a court order.

However, amidst all the chaos and FBI’s pressure, Apple seems to be dropping its plan to encrypt the backups in iCloud as reported by Reuters.

To enhance users’ privacy on the cloud, Apple had plans to introduce encrypted iCloud backups for the customers. However, the FBI complained that the move will harm crucial investigations.

Hence, Apple decided to drop its plan as per their sources.

In addition to this, the U.S President Donald Trump also criticized Apple recently on refusing to unlock phones used by killers, drug dealers, and other criminals in the light of a recent issue:

So, it looks like there was a lot of pressure for Apple to ditch their plans to make encrypted iCloud backups. Even though am Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the encryption issue, as noted by Reuters, it is quite clear on why they’re doing it.

While Apple has made its decision as per the reports, Google already has a similar system for Android’s backup data. But, we do not know for sure if that has changed recently.

What do you think about Apple dropping its plan to encrypt iCloud backups? Let us know in the comments.

Galaxy S20 Price and Release Date Leaked

Samsung’s Galaxy S20 (which was previously believed to be the S11) is almost around the corner for the launch next month. You can tune in to the official reveal on February 11th at Samsung’s Unpacked event.

Along with the date, it seems that we already know about the pricing ahead of its official launch, as per the latest leak by Max Weinbach.

In addition to his tweet, there are several sources pointing to the potential price for the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, and the S20 Ultra.

However, looking at Max’s recent Galaxy S20 leaks, we might have some solid information on the price. Here’s the tweet where he mentions the pricing of Galaxy S20 along with Galaxy Z Flip’s:

So, if we consider the pricing in US dollars, it might be safe to speculate the S20 5G for about $900-$1000 and the S20+ 5G at around $1050-$1100.

And, the S20 Ultra 5G could end up for about $1300. Of course, the pricing is subject to change and should be considered with a pinch of salt.

Overall, the pricing differs a lot depending on the country as well  – so for now, it is safe to have a budget of around $1000 if you want to get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy S20.
