According To Google, Barack Obama is Metrosexual

On Google, if you search a word, the search engine instantly generates a definition picked up from a website such as Wikipedia, as well as a picture from a, often random, website.

Earlier Google generated controversy for showing the picture of India's current Prime Minister, Nirendra Modi, when someone searched "Top 10 criminals" list on Google Images. After it made it in news and generated the controversy, Google eventually fixed that.

I was searching up different words for getting a better idea of their meaning and different ways of usage, when I happened to search 'Metrosexual'. Apparently as Google generated it's definition from Wikipedia, it picked up a picture for it from a blog, and the picture is an edit of the US President Barack Obama.

According to Google's search, Barack Obama is metrosexual. If this was a more commonly searched thing, it might have become a topic of interest or have caused a few laughs and giggles. But it appears so that it's not a popular topic, so it's not as known. Regardless, it's funny.

Chicago Man Warns President Obama Not To Touch His Girlfriend

The President of the United States, Barack Obama, was standing at a voting booth, and next to him on another voting booth was Aia Cooper. Suddenly, the fiancé of Aia Cooper, Mike Jones, walked by and told the President, "Mr. President, don't touch my girlfriend".

The woman became embarrassed while the President quickly said "You know... I...I really wasn't planning on it". The woman said "I am sorry, please excuse him" with a nervous laughter. The President continued, saying "There's an example of a brother just ... just embarrassing you for no reason. Just for no reason whatsoever", while the woman embarrassingly laughed and kept repeating "I understand, I understand", then followed with "I knew he was going to say something smart". President Obama also continued talking, as he said "And now... you'll be going back home and talking with your friends. What's his name?", to which Aia replied "Mike", still laughing uncontrollably.

Then the President sarcastically impersonated Aia Cooper, saying she will be saying(in her story when she gets home) that "I can't believe Mike... he is such a fool", to which Aia said "He really is", while the President continued "‘I was just mortified. Fortunately, the president was nice about it. So it’s all right", while still laughing uncontrollably, Aia said "I am freaking out right now".

Then the President stated that "Mike seems like a decent guy".

Then President Obama gave the woman a hug and a kiss on her cheek, saying "Now, he's really jealous".

Aia Cooper later told WLS-TV after voting that "He gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Just the cheek", following it with a sarcastic comment "Michelle, don't come after me!".

It's Friday! And here are the Friday News Bits of this week!

Mother and Son Commit Suicide After Having An Argument Over League of Legends

Photo Credit: DailyDot

In China, a 16 year old boy from Guangyuan in the Sichuan province headed straight to a local gaming cafe after school. The boy was an avid player of League of Legends. He did not return home by the evening, which worried his mother and she started searching every gaming cafe she could find and eventually found him. A loud argument broke out between the boy and his mother, in which his mother stated that:

You go online and I can’t control you, so I’ll just go die!

The mother then dragged her son to the banks of the nearby Jialing river and called her husband to tell him that she was going to kill herself. She walked out into the river and was quickly caught by the current, getting dragged under, with her son's attempts to save her in vain.

Then the father arrived and scolded and kicked his son. The son also plunged into the river himself, like his mother did. The father cried out and stated:

I also don’t want to live, I will go with you

But he was saved by cops before he could suicide like his wife and son did.

The mother and the son haven't been seen since and have been presumed dead. It is unknown what exactly led them to suicide, but it began with an argument over League of Legends. Although this is absolutely nothing to blame video games for, this will not stop the anti-gaming community to blame it on video games.

The Ultimate Warrior Dies At The Age of 54

Iconic and legendary WWE wrestler, the Ultimate Warrior, has passed away at the age of 54.

Days before his death, he had appeared on the "Monday Night RAW" event of WWE, where he gave a speech that people believe to have foreshadowed his own death. His speech was:

No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat; his lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory. You are the legend-makers of Ultimate Warrior.

Mr. Hellwig, who had legally changed his name to Warrior and went by the ring-name Ultimate Warrior, was one of the most influential and popular WWE stars of his career days. His career was 15 years long, spanning from 1985 to 98, with his most memorable years in the career being from 1987 to 91. His victory against Hulk Hogan on the Wrestlemania VI, becoming the WWE Champion is one of the most memorable matches in the history of Pro Wrestling.

WWE announced his death in a statement, with no cause of death revealed. The statement was:

WWE is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of the most iconic WWE Superstars ever, The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior began his WWE career in 1987 and quickly went on to become one of the biggest stars in WWE history. Warrior became WWE Champion at WrestleMania VI, defeating Hulk Hogan in an epic encounter. We are grateful that just days ago, Warrior had the opportunity to take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame and was also able to appear at WrestleMania 30 and Monday Night Raw to address his legions of fans. WWE sends its sincere condolences to Warrior’s family, friends and fans. Warrior was 54 and is survived by his wife Dana and his two daughters.

The Ultimate Warrior had recently been added into the Hall of Fame. After his death, many WWE personalities paid their condolences, such as Paul Heyman, Tripple H, Hulk Hogan, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Chris Jericho, and others. Fans are also very saddened by his loss and have mourned his death.

Facebook Is Removing Messaging From The iOS and Android App, Forcing Users To Use The Messenger

Facebook is removing the messaging feature from it's iOS and Android app, forcing users to use the Messenger app for messaging/chating with their Facebook friends. In certain European countries, users are already starting to see notifications that over the next few weeks they will have to install the Messenger app in order to continue sending and receiving Facebook messages on their smartphones.

A Facebook spokesperson told TheNextWeb that the company has found that the users get 20% faster replies on the Messenger app than on the normal Facebook app. He added that:

We have built a fast and reliable messaging experience through Messenger and now it makes sense for us to focus all our energy and resources on that experience. From this week onwards, more people will be notified of the change. Facebook will be removing the messaging feature from its Android and iOS apps in "a handful of countries" over the next couple of weeks. People will have several notices before this change takes place and will have opportunities to learn more about Messenger and its features.

According to TheNextWeb, the change wont affect low-end Android devices with memory constraints, which would allow them to chat with the normal Facebook app without having to download the Messenger app. The iPad Facebook app will also keep the messaging feature as well. Whether people accept the idea of having two Facebook apps for the full usage, is yet to be seen.

Woman Throws A Shoe At Hillary Clinton During Her Speech In Las Vegas

During her speech in Las Vegas on a stage, a woman threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton ducked and dodged the shoe, and then joked about it saying:

Is that somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque de Soleil?

People in the audience laughed and applauded at Hillary Clinton's joke and she continued saying:

My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial. Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did.

After the woman threw the shoe, she was quickly arrested. She admitted to throwing the shoe, however, did not tell why she did it. U.S. Secret Service supervisory special agent Brian Spellacy said the woman was being questioned and would face criminal charges. According to FoxNews, an attendee handed a piece of paper to a reporter that was apparently thrown by the woman, which was a copy of a Department of Defense document labelled confidential and dated August 1967, referring to an operation "Cynthia" in Bolivia.

The incident is similar to what happened in December 2008 in a news conference in Baghdad, when two shoes were thrown at former President George W. Bush, both which he dodged.

Belgian Newspaper 'De Morgen' Apologises For The Racist Pictures of the US President Barack Obama It Published

A Belgian newspaper called "De Morgen" published a picture of the president of United States, Barack Obama, and his wife Michelle Obama, which showed them as apes, along with another picture that says "First Black President of the USA, Starts Selling Weed". 

This was actually a part of the newspaper's satirical section which is called "The Daily Herald" which is on the Saturday editions of the newspaper. The satirical section of the newspaper's weekly edition was completely devoted to Barack Obama and was called "The Obama Herald" for the week. The page, along with the pictures, also contained fake tweets by President Obama and some articles.

The images were published as if they were sent by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, followed by the text:

Vladimir Putin is the president of Russia. He sent us this attachment at our request, and chose to send pictures instead of text 'because he doesn't have a lot of time'.

The pictures were targeted to Barack Obama's planned visit to Russia which is to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the first World War.

                            

The pictures posted by the Belgian newspaper 'De Morgen' with the text stated above.

After the pictures were published, De Morgen quickly became infamous, being called racist and protested against. While some praised the fact that the newspaper is given such freedom to express, it was widely bashed throughout the whole world.

After being labelled as racist, De Morgen then apologized for the pictures that were published. The newspaper only apologized for the "tasteless joke". On the page 2 of it's newspaper of this months 24th, the it was written that:

When you consider the fragment apart from its context, which is a properly worked out satirical section, then you don't see the joke but just a picture evoking sheer racism. That was a risk we didn't consider enough beforehand.

They also added that:

We wrongly assumed that racism is no longer tolerated anywhere, and that as a result it could be the subject of a joke.

De Morgen then apologized to everyone who may have felt insulted by the pictures:

In this case, we plead guilty of bad taste. We continue to be on the side of those that are battling any form of racism. Don't hesitate to contact us if we would go too far on a different occasion.

It was Friday! But due to some technical issues, the News Bits were delayed. Here are the Friday News Bits of this week!

Ubisoft Officially Announces Watch Dog's Release Date

Earlier, a video on Xbox.com was added, which was removed sometime later. The video was a new story trailer for Watch Dogs that revealed the release date for the game.

Then recently, Ubisoft has officially announced the release date and have released the new trailer as well.

Kashmiri Students in India Face Sedition Charges For Cheering on Pakistan's Victory Against India In The Asia Cup Match

A group of Kashmiri students in India is facing charges of sedition for cheering for Pakistan in a cricket match between Pakistan and India in a cricket match. 

The students were studying in a university in the Uttar Pradesh state were suspended from the college after cheering for Pakistan in the Asia Cup match where India was defeated by Pakistan.

The incident happened on the Swami Vivekanand Subharti University in the Meerut City on Sunday when the group of Kashmiri students celebrated Pakistan's victory, which lead to arguments with the other students and the university's administration ordered an inquiry and suspended the students. Some of the Kashmiri students deny any wrong-doing in their statements when talking to the media.

The sedition charges carry a three-year prison term. Jammu Kashmir's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has stated that the charges against the students are "unacceptably harsh" and he believes that "what the students did was wrong and misguided but they certainly didn't deserve to have charges of sedition slapped against them". He also added that the punishment would "ruin their futures and will further alienate them".

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has stated that he would talk to the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and "intervene on behalf of the misguided students".

Pakistan is India's arch-rival and the matches between India and Pakistan are dramatic and intense, followed with a craze by both Pakistan and India. Kashmir has been an unsolved issue for over 60 years, with both Pakistan and India claiming it as their own, while many of the Kashmiri individuals want to be a part of Pakistan, while the rest want to be a part of neither and want to be a country of it's own.

Facebook has just announced that the News Feed will be getting a new update, with a comparison picture between the current News Feed and the updated one(picture above).

Facebook has stated that:

You may recall that last year we experimented with a complete redesign of News Feed for desktop and mobile. People who tested it told us that they liked the bigger photos and images, but found it more difficult to navigate Facebook overall. The updated design has the best of both worlds: it keeps the layout and navigation people liked, but offers bigger images and photos, as well as a new font. The current design on mobile remains the same. 

They've also stated that the changes are simply visual and wont affect stories and the interface except for the stories and ads being the same, and larger than now in size.
