| Hey property bros, quit telling millennials to stop eating smashed avocado on toast Posted: 15 May 2017 12:03 AM PDT  Millennials like avocado on toast and soy lattes and expensive rents and ASOS clothes by the bucketload. They pay for it all with their outrageous, disposable incomes. And when they reach adulthood, they only want to buy a three-bedroom house with ocean views on the best street in town. In other words, they want to have the smashed avo and eat it too — and they'll eat all the avocado they please, goddamnit. SEE ALSO: No, baby boomers, millennials aren't poor because they eat smashed avocado In recent months, it seems every smarmy rich dude and responsible adult in Australia — the place with the highest per capita consumption rate of ridiculous organic food types — has been preachin' high and low about the pure disrespect for money that Gen Y has shown in their young lives. The property market isn't out of control, they say. Your spending is out of control, they say. Take rich dude, Tim Gurner. tim gurner says i'll be able to afford a house if i stop eating smashed avo and drinking $4 coffees, why don't i believe him? pic.twitter.com/fdjiy1DQOg — Maddison Connaughton (@madconnaughton) May 15, 2017 The Australian property mogul took his victim blaming message to the masses on Australian current affairs show 60 Minutes on Sunday night and oh boyyyy was it one of the best examples yet of tsk-tsking the kids on their terrible life choices. Gurner is just 35 years old himself but guys, GURNER MADE GOOD DECISIONS. GURNER NEVER ATE AVO ON TOAST. GURNER IS YOUR RICH HERO. BOW DOWN TO KING GURNER. "When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn't buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each," the wealthy lord said. "We're at a point now where the expectations of younger people are very, very high. They want to eat out every day, they want travel to Europe every year. The people that own homes today worked very, very hard for it, saved every dollar, did everything they could to get up the property investment ladder." Let's not mention that an "uninhabitable hovel" can easily cost more than $1 million dollars in an Australian city. With prices like that, we're pretty certain that forgoing your daily macchiato isn't going to make you hella rich. The issue with Gurner's very educational lesson is that he started his glorious empire with A$34,000 (US$25,190) from his grandfather, according to Nine News. That's right, even Gurner needed a helping hand. It would take just 8,500 days without a $4 coffee to get that kind of head start. This "avocado is a poor life decision" speech isn't new. In fact, mentioning the words "millennial" and "avocado" in a sentence has been known to score anyone and everyone their 15 minutes of fame. In October, the internet pretty much broke in Australia after columnist Bernard Salt took aim at generation Y over their spending habits. "I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more," he wrote for The Australian. "I can afford to eat this for lunch because I am middle aged and have raised my family ... Twenty-two dollars several times a week could go towards a deposit on a house." It was an easy lesson in how to go viral and make a lot of people angry. But you know what? We're sick of you using the sad little lives of millennials to raise your profile. I'd much prefer to eat avocado on toast while sharing an apartment with 10 mates, if having money and five houses turns me into a smarmy rich dude that lectures my own generation on how to be a smarmy rich dude. Cough, Gurner, cough. Now, excuse me while I pour myself a bath of champagne. WATCH: This utensil will make cutting and slicing avocados much easier

| New rumor suggests the Galaxy Note 8 will be even better than the Galaxy S8 Posted: 15 May 2017 09:14 AM PDT 
The Galaxy Note 8 will be one of the top Android handsets of the second half of the year, and the first rumors about the hotly anticipated new phone are already here. After a couple of recent reports said the handset will have a dual lens camera on the back, a brand new rumor seems to further reinforce that idea.
A Chinese Weibo user known for his mobile leaks posted a short message on the social network that mentions two supposedly confirmed Galaxy Note 8 details. According to this person, the phone will have a 6.3-inch display, which is awfully similar to what previous rumors claimed — early reports said the phone will feature a 6.4-inch Infinity display. The leaker also says the phone will feature a dual lens camera, which might be one of the highlights of the upcoming new Note handset. The Galaxy S8 was also supposed to pack a dual lens camera, but that early design did not have a fingerprint sensor on the back next to the camera. Instead, Samsung wanted to place the sensor under the Galaxy S8 screen, reports have stated. The technology wasn't ready for mass production at that time, however, and Samsung went with the current Galaxy S8 design instead, which features a single-lens rear camera and a fingerprint sensor placed right next to it. If this leaker has access to accurate information, then it could mean Samsung is confident it can mass produce displays with embedded fingerprint sensors in time for the Galaxy Note 8's launch. That's also great news for the iPhone 8, which is supposed to be released around the same time. The iPhone 8 is also expected to have the fingerprint sensor placed under the screen, as we've all seen in numerous reports.

| Exclusive: Upcoming Apple Watch to include game-changing health features Posted: 15 May 2017 12:10 PM PDT  There's no doubt about it — the Apple Watch is a hit. While Apple has not disclosed sales numbers, smart money has the device, now in its second generation, at over 25 million units sold. That not only means the watch is a scorcher that is now beating the initial trajectory of the iPhone, but recent estimates also crown it the world's top-selling fitness device, outpacing dedicated fitness trackers from the likes of Fitbit in regards to market share. The Apple Watch has generated more revenue since its debut than the entire Swiss watch industry during that period of time, which is an incredible achievement. The fitness aspect of the watch has always been a huge focus, and we have been told by a source familiar with Apple's plans that the company is looking to introduce a game-changing feature in an upcoming new version of the Apple Watch. While there are countless uses for this new category of device that places a smartphone on your wrist, one of the most popular is fitness monitoring and tracking, an intense area of focus for Apple. There is most likely not a single consumer fitness product in the world that has had more internal testing, validation and investment than the Apple Watch, and this doesn't seem to be slowing. Our source indicates that Apple has hired 200 PhDs in the past year as part of the company's laser lock on improving and innovating in the health space with Apple Watch. It has been rumored that Apple is interested in glucose monitoring, and it appears that the time may now be right. Previous rumors have stated that Apple might only be able to achieve this through a separate device that might complement the watch, however BGR has learned that this might not be accurate. According to our source, Apple's sights are now set on the epidemic of diabetes, and the company plans to introduce a game-changing glucose monitoring feature in an upcoming Apple Watch. An estimated 30 million people suffer from diabetes in the US alone, according to the American Diabetes Association, so Apple's efforts could lead to a historic achievement in the world of health and fitness. Currently, the only way to properly measure blood sugar levels is by using a blood sample, or by using a device that penetrates the skin. It's uncomfortable, difficult and painful, and there are not presently any widely available noninvasive methods that are accurate. Apple isn't stopping at just glucose monitoring, however. Apple also plans to introduce interchangeable "smart watch bands" that add various functionality to the Apple Watch without added complexity, and without increasing the price of the watch itself. This could also mean that the glucose monitoring feature will be implemented as part of a smart band, rather than being built into the watch hardware. A camera band that adds a camera to the watch is another possibility, or a band that contains a battery to extend battery life for wearers who want even more longevity, even though the Apple Watch's battery performance is already class-leading. One can imagine the other types of smart bands that might be possible with this approach. This strategy might also make it easier for Apple to work with the FDA on approval of a medical device that the company could pre-announce, as opposed to letting a new Apple Watch leak months or even years in advance if it was to be submitted to the regulatory administration.
Another interesting quote from our source is that Apple has "identified the right part of the body and there's so much more they can and intend to do with the watch." While glucose monitoring would be a huge first step in Apple's goal of continuing to make the Apple Watch indispensable, it's not hard to imagine a near future where the watch is the hub of our digital and physical lives. It would monitor multiple aspects of the wearer's health, but also replace smartphones when combined with some sort of augmented reality glasses or contact lenses, alongside AirPods in our ears.
