Updating your operating system is the second best thing to just tossing out your old phone and buying a shiny new one. OK, OK, we know that iOS 9 can't turn your phone pink, but it's still pretty exciting.A lot of key players in the tech game are geeking out over iOS 9 because it's been engineered to do everything more smoothly and efficiently - finally incorporating all those things that frustrated us over and over (like a way to see if caps lock is on or off!).
This is what Wired had to say:
"The next phase of technology is all about it learning our behavior and adapting to our needs, not forcing us into its pre-determined ideas about how the world works. iOS 9 isn't here to change your life. In fact, it's here to do the opposite: The goal of iOS9 is to help you change as little as possible."
Making our lives easier? We're all for it. Here's the shortlist of the major updates to look forward to:
1. Notes. No longer just the iPhone's throwaway app, and thank god - we use it all day, everyday. Use it to draw, create a checklist, add photos and save clips from the web.2. Siri. She's gotten more powerful. She can now go through your photos for you, or create reminders based on what your looking at. You can also train her to respond only to your voice, hands-free. Aren't you happy you didn't give up on her?
3. Maps. It now gives you transit directions - so you can delete Google Maps if you want!
4. Multitasking. You know how you hold down the home button to close all your apps? This looks totally different now, designed like a deck of cards rather than a row of thumbnails.
5. Search. Swipe all the way to the far left screen, and you'll find a search bar, your four most recent contacts, your four most used apps, and news stories it thinks you might like. There's also an area to search for things like restaurants and gas nearby. Handy, no?
6. Back button. For every time you click on an Instagram notification and lose your place.
7. Mail. You can now add attachments in Apple's Mail app.
8. The FONT. It's different. #MindBlown
9. New backgrounds. There are pretty new phone backgrounds, like shimmery feathers and sand.
What are you waiting for? DL it now and start making that sassy Siri do all your bidding.
Zara is a staple in my wardrobe! Everything from their dresses, jackets, shoes and accessories have major real estate in my tiny New York closet. I like that their pieces are basic, stylish and trendy all at the same time. When it comes time to shop for fall, count on Zara to help you create your dream wardrobe.
From record players to point-and-shoot cameras, we love when worlds collide and tech developers combine modern technology with icons of the past.

Oh man, ish just got real between 
Recently, rapper T.I. confirmed in a radio interview that he's no longer mentoring Iggy Azalea, which left us completely baffled and wondering what is going on between the two artists. We assumed Iggy could shed a little light on the situation, but surprisingly, the "Fancy" rapper says she's totally clueless about their so-called "issue." Instead of dismissing the story as total BS,

Remember when people just used Snapchat to send nudes? Now that Snapchat is used by literally everyone, from brands to (eek!) maybe even your parents, we guess people needed to find something a little more...under the radar.
We have no idea why, but for some reason someone in Japan decided to faint in front of their dog to see what he would do and the idea spread like wildfire. Soon, Twitter was filled with videos of people" fainting" in front of their dogs to try to get a reaction out of them.
The hair at New York Fashion Week can be a total wildcard. You just never know what you're going to get. Some looks are totally gorgeous and wearable, while others can be a little more...out there.
Here's how to do it yourself:
Haters gonna hate and that's likely never going to change. But for 
Imagine yourself at 14. You're young, smart, curious and creative, and you really like science. You decide to build a clock because you want to experiment and invent. Pleased with the result, you decide to take it with you to school, so you can show off your craftsmanship, your creativity and your inventive spirit. But instead of being praised for it, the police handcuff you and take you to the station, because actually, you might've tried to sneak a bomb into the building. What would you do?
What could have been labeled as just another incident in a range of other cases exemplifying violence against Arabs and African-Americans, Ahmed's story was immediately picked up by news agencies and social media, attracting nationwide - even global - attention. Because it is not just Ahmed's clock, it is every person's clock that has been discriminated against based on their race or religion. And that might be exactly what is needed to put an end to the alarmingly rising rates of unjust arrests, sometimes even resulting in sustained injuries or death.
So it is great to see, not only the public, but influentials like
I've been wearing the same two pairs of sneakers so often that my new friends in college didn't realize I had other shoes! Six months ago, I would've never be caught dead in sneakers. So what happened? Did my recent move to New York give me a certain edge that ditches the sequins for sporty chic?
In case you missed it, VH1's fifth annual Streamy Awards went down Thursday night, with YouTube stars like Gigi Gorgeous, 
There was a lot going on at the reception, aside from guests mixing, mingling and munching on grilled cheese sandwiches, shrimp, and mushroom flatbreads. While selfie sticks have been banned at most events, people definitely had them here. There were even a few people live broadcasting the reception using their selfie sticks. After a while, this is basically what the reception looked like...
Also adding to the entertainment at the pre-show were three highly energetic people dressed up as fruit, who were promoting FNV, a campaign to sell fruits and vegetables to teens and moms. "Veggies are in, veggies are cool," the banana told us while bouncing around. "So peas eat your veggies," the strawberry said. They kept bouncing around, so we felt like a dance off was in order. They obliged. Honestly, it really doesn't get better than watching three pieces of fruit doing the Whip and Nae Nae.
We couldn't help but wonder what her ex-fiancé Future thought about how hot she looked, considering he performed about 30 minutes after she was on stage. When he did, he was surrounded by fire that was so intense you could feel the heat in the audience, but Ciara was nowhere to be found to give a reaction.
When Gigi won her award for Beauty, she strutted up to the podium to accept it. "Omg what the heck," she said. "Thank you everyone at home. Everyone who has ever told me I've been the light at the end of their tunnel they've been the light at the end of mine. Stay gorgeous." Then she sauntered down the stairs to after taking a pic with Frankie.
During the commercial breaks, attendees got up, walked around, mixed and mingled. When 
OMI was on hand to perform "Cheerleader" too, and Little Big World also performed. People were given glow sticks to wave around during LBW's performance and most people who got them were quickly over it. Someone used one as a back scratcher instead of waving it around, for example.
