12 Tricks of the Techie Trade
Outsmart Autocorrect
How many times while texting have you had to press and pinpoint with your sausage fingers, trying to land the cursor eventually in the right spot between letters so you can add an apostrophe to avoid being a grammar fuck-up? Now you can outsmart autocorrect by adding an extra letter to the end of a word you want to be a contraction and autocorrect will correct it as a contraction, making "were" an easy "we're" by typing "weree."
Play/Next/Previous as Easy as 1, 2, 3 Taps
You're on a run and you hate the song that's just come on your earphones, but even more, you hate having to stop and take your phone out to change it, losing that perfect heart rate. Well, here's a little trick - the Play/Pause button on your headphones skips to the next song if you click it quickly twice, and clicking it quickly three times takes you back to the previous song. You're welcome. Now run!
Earbud Selfies
Your embarrassment caused by shameless selfie spectacles is about to fritter away as you can slyly take unflattering photos of yourself using the "Volume +" button on your earbuds. This isn't going to make you look any better, but it's definitely more convenient and more discrete.
Text Shortcuts
Tired of typing the same bullshit over and again to everyone? Does your phone not "get you"? Make an acronym for it in your settings and save yourself some screaming in public places. Go to Settings, then General, then Keyboard. Under Shortcuts, choose Add New Shortcut. Type the full phrase in the Phrase box and the shortcut in the Shortcut box. Works on Android under Personal Dictionary. Now you can save your fat fingers from misspelling "perfect" as "pervert" too!
Airplane Mode Charges Twice as Fast
That's right, putting your phone on Airplane Mode when you charge helps it replenish your battery life in close to half the time. It's great when you're traveling, and even better when you talk to your mother for hours when you can't sleep because you're still afraid of the dark.
Mac Keyboard Shortcuts
No need for periods, ladies. Tap the spacebar twice at the end of the sentence and the period is added for you instead of hitting period and then the space bar. You can also hold the period button in Safari to quickly add a domain in the search bar. I'm sure there's a period joke in here somewhere, but clearly, we're taking the high road today.
Level in Compass App
Levels and compasses rarely seem like useful tools to have around - until you're in that situation where you absolutely need them - but they both just happen to be in the iPhone. If you're in the Compass app, you can find the level as easily as sliding over to the next screen of the two available tabs. You'll find your level there, ready to go, you know, leveling stuff. It's a usefully tool to have, so much so it could be a Level app with a compass feature.
Keyboard Split to Thumb Mode
Lots of people already know it, but if you don't, the iPhone and iPad allow you to split the keyboard from one long screen length to two smaller halves that help your fingers more comfortably reach the letters. Just swipe across the keyboard with two fingers and watch that baby split down the middle. And for 99 cents in the iTunes Store, you can download the Keyboard Upgrade app that breaks the keyboard into two parts, which you can angle to your own liking.
Color Inversion
Still up late tweeting and texting like a fourth grader? Color inversion for your Apple device makes it a little easier on your eyes. Color inversion will not only keep your eyes from going blind in the dark, it'll help your eyes transition more calmly to sleep so you won't see flashes of light and have nightmares once you finally close them. Or you could just go to bed at a decent hour like a respectable adult. Anyway, it's as easy as going to your Settings app, clicking General, then Accessibility, and swiping the Invert Colors tab to On (or green).
Gmail Canned Response
If you have the kind of friend or job - a job hunt, especially - that requires a lot of the same email responses, you can use canned responses in Gmail, essentially the same as copy & pasting an old email without the hassle of searching for, copying and pasting an old email, almost like an auto-response, saving you the time of giving up on finding it and having to rewrite the same monotonous crap over and again.
When composing an email, type in the text you want to be used for a canned response and then click the bottom right drop-down arrow and select Canned Responses, then click New Canned Response in the sub-menu. After a box appears, name your response, such as "Thank You" or "Follow-Up." To use the canned response in future emails, go to the same lower right drop-down and highlight Canned Responses, and your "Thank You" or "Follow-Up" responses should be listed for selecting. It's as simple as that, saving you time and searching.
Switch Shooting Direction in Panorama
Simply tap the arrow in the panorama camera mode to flip the shooting direction (from left to right) to right to left. It's nothing a one-eyed kindergartener couldn't do, so you should be fine.
Mute Group Gmails
We all have friends whose emails we hate getting, but instead of giving them the digital finger and asking them to stop, we can mute them as well as group emails. Simply select the box next to the email you'd like to mute, then click on the More button above your inbox and select Mute. Now if they could only figure it out for the iPhone group texts, life would be complete.

101-Year-Old Woman Throws Out First Pitch on Mother's Day
Despite being alive when Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States, Cohen was able to run onto the field before yesterday's Angels-Blue Jays game in Toronto and throw out the first pitch. And as you would expect from an adorable 101-year-old grandma, Cohen had some fun with the crowd before uncorking her best fastball to Toronto's backup catcher Josh Thole.
That would pretty much be the only highlight of the day for Blue Jays fans, as their beloved team was curb stomped by the visiting Angels by the score of 9-3.
It is also worth noting just how much better Cohen was at throwing out the first pitch than rising NBA star John Wall, a 23-year-old professional athlete in tip-top shape.
If Wall wasn't embarrassed by his effort before a 101-year-old woman was asked to throw out the first pitch, he sure as hell should be now.

Florida Man Arrested After Bragging About Selling Drugs on Facebook
The fact that he was boasting how easy it was to sling dope right in front of the po-po probably didn't help his cause either.
According to the New York Daily News, Taylor Harrison recently threw up some rather damning selfies on his Facebook page, including several that featured police vehicles in the background, bragging about how easy it was to sell drugs in Port St. Lucie without getting busted.
Now Harrison has been thrown in prison after - wait for it - he got busted selling drugs in Port St. Lucie.
Undercover officers from the Martin County Sheriff's Office purchased weed from Harrison last week after he told them he was "the best around." After arresting him, the MCSO posted his story to their Facebook page along with a series of photos that illustrate just how far the 21-year-old dipshit fell in a matter of days, adding, "Since Taylor was kind enough to share photos of us on his Facebook page, we thought we would share these photos of Taylor on our page."
If Harrison is still dumb enough to own a Facebook account, odds are this won't be his profile picture any time soon.

Little Kids Hilariously Ruin Mother's Day Breakfast in Bed Twice
Ah, Mother's Day. The one time of year a mother gets to relax and be spoiled by her children. Except if you're the mother of a little klutz like this. The little guy and his less-klutzy brother mean well, but they can't seem to make it to their mother's bedroom to deliver her breakfast in bed without a couple of mishaps. Pay close attention to the younger kid in the background after the first mishap. Looks like someone got a little hungry before making it to mom's bedroom.
I like to think they didn't end up serving that fruit to their mother, but there really is no way to know for sure. It was a good effort, little guys. Mother's Day comes again next year.
And if you want to see another hilarious clumsy kid video, check out these two little fellas.
Woman Stabs Walmart Employee After Her Credit Card Is Declined
According to Q13 FOX, a 60-year-old woman allegedly stabbed a Walmart employee with a pair of scissors recently because she "didn't like her vibe."
Several employees at the Walmart in Mount Vernon, Washington, noticed Nancy Reed having trouble with a self-service checkout machine on May 2nd. When one of them tried to explain to her that the machine declined her credit card, Reed naturally responded by telling the employee the mafia had kidnapped her grandchild.
At that point, Reed claimed she didn't like the employee's vibe, which we'll assume was "confused as all hell," and began attacking her with a pair of scissors.
Several other employees were able to subdue Reed but not before she was able to pull a sizable chunk of hair out from one of the employee's head. Then, while employees waited for the police to arrive, Reed began "dancing around and lifting her dress."
Authorities are unsure if Reed will face felony assault charges because "it appears that she may have mental health issues."
Um, no shit.

All Girl Band Attempts To Sing While Having Orgasms
Well, this is just brilliant marketing, if you ask us. A Dutch all girl band by the name of ADAM has successfully gotten the word out about their upcoming single "Go to Go." They did this by releasing a video of them attempting to sing the song while reaching orgasm courtesy of an off-camera vibrator. The ladies start off alright, only showing signs of any sort of pleasure through a smirk or two here and there. But as the video progesses, the girls find it more difficult to mask their excitement. We have to admit it's an excellent marketing ploy because we haven't been able to get the damn song out of our heads since watching the video. Well played, ladies. Well played.

10 Healthy Foods for a Better-Functioning Noggin
Dark Chocolate
People will be happy to see dark chocolate being first on the list, but it's earned its spot as a powerful superfood, aiding in brain condition with antioxidant properties but also one of the best foods for focusing. A small bit each day, much like a moderated amount of coffee, stimulates the brain into a higher functioning state through the production of endorphins to the brain. But too much will leave you in a sloppy, couch-riding position.
Berries
Blue-, açai, straw- - you name it - those anti-aging berries are good for you. Aside from hydrating the body and relieving your brain of certain oxidative stress, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries etc., have health properties known to reduce brain diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's. No matter how you enjoy them - fresh or frozen, smoothie or straight up - any amount of berries is good for you and your brain.
Whole Grains
You want to get wild early on here? Try on some fiber-rich, fresh whole grain, an unexpected superfood in the list of brain foods. Whether your grains come in the form of wheat breads, oatmeal or brown rice, you're helping your mind get the proper blood flow by ingesting a small amount throughout the day. Although breads have a tendency to tire people, especially in the middle of the day, a little bit won't slow you down too much, especially if you use its vitamins to remain active. Whole grains are also an anti-inflammatory that helps with heart disease prevention, so there's that.
Avocados
Like berries - blueberries especially - avocados promote healthy blood flow, which promotes a healthy functioning brain. However, avocados' benefits are vastly underrated compared to the tiny blue balls of fruit because of its fatty, oily appearance. But avocados are a caloric fruit, so less is required, but the added benefit of the anti-oxidant, vitamin C-rich avocado is its ability to lower blood pressure, which aids in reducing the risk of hypertension and, thus, a lower risk for strokes and promotion of a healthy working noggin.
Oily Fish (Wild Salmon)
You don't have to catch the deep-sea fish yourself, but you can do yourself a favor having them a couple time a week. Big on Omega-3 fatty acids, oily fish - wild salmon in particular - help that big, beautiful brain function properly, much like meat and chicken. I suppose if you're taking the time to catch fish yourself legally, you're getting a good workout and reducing overfishing, so go for it.
Nuts & Seeds
Aside from a sexy case of light flatulence, nuts are packed with healthy fats and vitamin E - good for the heart and the head and help conserve your memory. Almonds are one of the healthier nuts to keep the head working properly and can appear in the form of butter, milk, and atop a great smoothie, too. In addition, pumpkin, sunflower and flaxseeds are also big on helping prevent the decline of our shrinking brains and the expected decay of our sanity through vitamin E and low-sodium diets. It's as easy as choosing a good nut over a bad chip.
Broccoli
All dark greens - kale, spinach, broccoli - are vitamin E-packed foods that promote a healthy brain. But broccoli stands out, as it is hydrating, and also converts tryptophan into serotonin, a chemical that is brain-friendly and helps your memory and learning functions. Work some into your lunches so you'll be quick as a whip in the workplace. Seems like sound advice, no?
Tomatoes
For boosting brain power, tomatoes are the unexpected underdog. The extremely oxidizing fruit not only helps hydrate the body and reduce the decline of cognitive skills of the brain, but tomatoes give a fresh perk to the brain's working levels without the use of caffeine or unnatural sugars. Just don't eat so many that you get canker sores all over your mouth and start a herpes scare in the office. If you're going to do that, maybe just try a bite or two of dark chocolate instead.
Beans
The musical fruit that makes you toot is also an easily accessible source of constant glucose for any meal - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Lentils and black beans are especially noteworthy in stabilizing our blood sugar levels in order to keep a steady stream of energy throughout the day. Refried beans with your eggs, black beans in your tacos and lentil soup for dinner - however you like it, beans can find their way into your diet. And they help you poop regularly.
Red Wine
It ain't food - well, perhaps dinner to some - but red wine is brain-friendly drink that helps reduce the effects and likelihood of Alzheimer's, thanks to its fresh fruit antioxidants and moderate amount of alcohol. Red wine supposedly also promotes penile function. So, if your lady thinks you're a brain dead waste of a scrotum, have a glass of wine during your week and watch her love for your brain blossom, as well as her love for your member. Just don't drink so much that you can't get it up.
