Apple issued a fix Tuesday for Mac computer users whose sensitive information could have been exposed to hackers. The software update patches a security hole in OS X, the operating system for Apple computers. It comes four days after the same bug was fixed for iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, which run on iOS software. The issue was first disclosed on Friday when Apple released the security patch for mobile devices. Security experts said there was no evidence hackers discovered the issue before Apple disclosed it, but Mac users were left potentially vulnerable since the public disclosure. Left unfixed, hackers could potentially read private communications sent over Apple devices, including emails, instant messages, social media posts and even online bank transactions. Those communications usually happen over secure channels. But an error in Apple's code could allow hackers on the same network as the user to view private information, security expert Dmitri Alperovitch told CNNMoney....

As he celebrated with family and fans yesterday, the rapper gave a special message to children about never giving up on their dreams. "You can live your dreams if you work hard enough and stay dedicated. Believe in yourself and you can do whatever you want to do." Source:  Revolt.tv

According to ESPN, players would be penalized 15 yards if they say the slur on the field. The competition committee plans to meet this month to discuss the ban further before making any final calls.

In an in depth discussion on the possible penalty, ESPN's Micheal Wilbon and Jason Whitlock spoke on opposing sides of the debate. Wilbon says that the officials are much more removed from the term which makes it easier for them to ban. Whitlock on the other...

A very drunk driver who was willing to pay a substantial fortune to avoid a DUI arrest ended up making things way worse for himself after his bribery attempts failed. NYPD officers discovered 35-year-old Alcides Gonzabay passed out in his still-running 2013 Audi with an open bottle of Captain Morgan. Gonzabay was reportedly very upfront with the officers, admitting that he had taken cocaine before getting behind the wheel and that he had been drinking on the highway. "I was drinking tequila - a big bottle - around 12:30," he said. After blowing a .29 BAC, Gonzabay offered a massive bribe for his freedom, telling police, "I don't want my mother to see me in a cell. Yo, real talk, I'll give you $40,000." The man's attempt failed, but after being processed at Manhattan's 24th Precinct, Gonzabay once again tried to bribe police, this time with an even larger amount. "I will pay you $50,000 and expensive watches from a safe in my house if you take me...

Rumors of a  Google-powered smartwatch  just got a little more tangible -- both  CNET  and the  Wall Street Journal  claim that the search firm is teaming up with LG to make the Android-based wristwear. We still don't know much about the hardware's capabilities, but  CNET  believes that Google would follow the Nexus model and create a reference device that would launch at  Google I/O  in June. The  WSJ  notes that other manufacturers could also join the fray. None of the companies involved have commented on the rumor so far, so you won't want to start budgeting for the gadget just yet. However, a Google-badged, LG-made smartwatch would make sense when the two companies have enjoyed success making phones like the  Nexus 5 , and LG is already designing wearables like the  Lifeband Touch .

According to TMZ, superstar Beyonce Knowles' father Mathew is behind on child support to the tune of 32,135.90, causing the mother of his young son to support the family using public assistance and food stamps. Knowles had an affair with actress Alexsandra Wright back in 2009 while still married to Beyonce and Solange's mother, Tina. The 18 month affair resulted in the birth of son Nixon, whom Knowles initially denied but was proven to be his son through DNA testing. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the courts mandated that Knowles dish out $12,000 a month in child support. Sources close to Wright allegedly told TMZ that she has had to pull Nixon out of private school and has resorted to receiving government assistance, getting $300 a month through the EBT program. The allegedly delinquent dad blames a clerical error within the court system for the late payments to Wright. Source:  hellobeautiful.com

Spreadtrum  certainly isn't a household name in the US, but Mozilla is less concerned with brand recognition than it is with delivering an ultra-cheap handset. The two companies have announced a new partnership that will see Spreadtrum building reference designs for  Firefox OS  phones with a target price of $25. (And no, we're not missing a zero there.) The heart of the effort is the SC6821, a Cortex A5-based chipset that supports WCDMA and EDGE networks, but  not LTE . The platform includes WiFi, Bluetooth, cameras and FM radio, though touchscreen support appears to top out at 3.5-inch HVGA panels. The lack of 4G connectivity, older CPU design and low screen resolutions clearly mark this as a low-end initiative, but its one that will give it a major leg up in emerging markets like India where feature phones still rule supreme.

Aside from  Nicki Minaj being hit with criticism over her controversial use of an iconic Malcolm X image for the artwork for her new "Lookin A*s Ni**a" single , she's now being questioned as to whether or not she copied the concept of the song from a previous freestyle from her rival Lil Kim.  Kim released the freestyle which shares the same exact title as Nicki's, back in 2008.   On Kim's version, the phrase "Lookin A*s Ni**a" is the main punchline throughout her freestyle, which is the same format that Nicki has for her 2014 "Lookin A*s Ni**a" track.  In the past Nicki Minaj has been accused of copying from Lil Kim before, whether it be certain poses she does for magazines or other business moves.  Lil Kim has yet to call out Nicki for this. It should be noted that "Lookin A*s Ni**a" is originally a song which was released by Hotstylz and Yung Joc that Kim spit a freestyle over in the first place. Source:  Bossip.com

According to CBS Sports, Jason Collins has signed a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn Nets, making him the first openly gay athlete in one of the four main professional American sports leagues. Collins, who last played for the Boston Celtics and the Washington Wizards will be donning the #98 Brooklyn Nets jersey tonight, as he and the team face the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. The 7 foot center hasn't hit the court since last April with the Washington Wizards, before he revealed his sexuality to Sports Illustrated soon after. Many are wondering if this is a marketing ploy, as Collins has only averaged 3.6 ppg and 3.8 rpg throughout his 14-year career in the NBA. Brooklyn Nets General Manager Billy King denies this claim: "The decision to sign Jason was a basketball decision. We needed to increase our depth inside, and with his experience and size, we felt he was the right choice for a 10-day contract." That is another aspect of this deal that's raising eyebro...

We heard  rumors  that Sprint was going to take a cue from T-Mobile and launch its own WiFi calling service. Well, it looks like those earlier reports were spot-on: Sprint today announced WiFi calling for select Android phones, allowing customers to call and text over a local wireless network as a way of avoiding overage charges. The only catch: when we say "select Android phones" we really do mean select. For now, the service will only work on the Samsung Galaxy Mega  and the  Galaxy S4 Mini . If you're lucky enough to own one of those devices, you'll be able to use the service for free following an over-the-air update, which should arrive sometime in the coming weeks. (Note: domestic calls and texts are free, but there's still a fee for international calls.) And if you don't own one of those phones? There may be hope yet: Sprint says it will expand the service to additional devices throughout 2014.

Mensa is an organization comprised of people with exceptionally high IQ's, and the Arizona chapter just welcomed its youngest member ever.
