If my calculations are correct it is now precisely Oct. 21, 2015. The future has finally arrived. Yes, it is different than we all thought. But don't worry, it just means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one.
YouTube
According to YouTube, four of the most-watched videos on the streaming service last year were ads. On Wednesday, the company introduced YouTube Red, the feature it hopes to turn YouTube from a platform to a service, taking on Netflix, Spotify, and everyone else — all at once. All without a single ad.
YouTube Red is YouTube's subscription service. It's going to cost $9.99 a month — the going rate for streaming services — and the big news is it's going to make all YouTube content ad-free. However, it also turns YouTube in a more robust way to watch things, by allowing people to save content offline, and including content from YouTube gaming and YouTube Music. It launches next week.
In addition, YouTube Music will become a standalone app, which launches "later this year," according to a YouTube spokesperson. YouTube plans to use what the company learned from the YouTube Music Key beta last year and bring it to consumers in a widespread release. While YouTube is the primary platform for music videos and has an enormous, unique catalog, it's never been easy to take YouTube on the go, or make easy-to-listen-to playlists. YouTube Music is, essentially, a streaming service in line with the Spotifiy and Apple Musics of the world.
From the demonstration YouTube presented on Wednesday, it features a more visual layout — very big thumbnails — and knows to include the live versions of songs, covers, remixes, and other rarities that makes YouTube's content stand out from its competitors. When you click play on a song in the app, the music video starts playing, but when the music video is stopped or minimized, the music itself keeps playing.
YouTube Red also includes a subscription to Google Play Music, which means it is, essentially, two music streaming services for the price of one. (Likewise, if you have a Google Play Music subscription, you also get YouTube Red.)
YouTube Red will also include exclusive original content starting this January. YouTube is planning on leveraging its sizable stable of self-created celebrities to compete with the original streaming content pioneered by Netflix and Amazon. It will launch with a feature film with YouTube star Lily Singh, a ten-episode singing competition show hosted by the Fine Brothers, and a horror reality series starring PewDiePie. If you know who they all are, congratulations, you are YouTube's target subscriber.
While YouTube Red is priced at $9.99 per month, that doesn't apply to anyone who purchases it directly on an iPhone: iOS subscribers who buy YouTube Red through Apple will be charged an additional $3, so it costs $12.99 instead. According to a YouTube spokesperson, "As everyone knows, Apple charges an additional fee, so we’re passing that fee on." Basically, because Apple charges a 30% fee for content to be sold via its App Store or as an in-app purchase, YouTube is charging 30% more for Red when its sold there.
Of course, because it's a subscription service that works across platforms, you could just pay for YouTube Red on the web and use it on your iPhone for the original $9.99 price. Which makes this a bit more of a dig at Apple, than a real iOS tax.

A 49-year-old man killed his housemate 10 days before confessing the crime to a tarot card reader after she turned over a "death" card, Lewes crown court has heard.
Star Randel-Hanson, 49, visited Jayne Braiden, a tarot card reader, and admitted he'd done something "terrible", according to Solent News. She then called 999 to speak to the police, but was diverted to the non-emergency 101 line. They had to wait just under an hour for the police to arrive.
Braiden told the court that the first card she turned over was the "blasted tower", which signified "lots of arguments, lots of bad feelings". Then she turned over "emperor", which signified a "dominant male". Finally, she turned over the "death card".
According to the local Argus newspaper, she told the court she said she could "see that something really bad has happened and that we need to discuss this further".
Randel-Hanson replied: "It's really bad," jurors heard.
"I said to him we need to talk about everything that has happened," she went on, "And that is when he told me. ... He said that he had killed him."
Police officers then went to Randel-Hanson's flat. They found the body of his housemate, Derick Marney, slumped against a radiator in the kitchen, and a knife on the floor.

Randel-Hanson stabbed Marney to death before leaving him on the floor on 4 May this year. He admitted to police that he caused the death when they interviewed him, but denied murder.
He said the pair had been arguing about his plans to go to London to find work when he had turned around and accidentally stabbed Marney. They were not partners, but had previously shared a bed. Randel-Hanson also claimed Marney had sexually abused him three times.
Although the police had not deemed Braiden's call an emergency, the reader insisted it was, so it was upgraded to a "grade two" call. It took 55 minutes for the police to arrive at her shop while she kept him talking. She said: "We changed subjects and laughed at the time police were taking."

I am gay.
Wow, it feels good to write those words. For most of my life I've been afraid to embrace that truth about myself. Recently though, I've gotten to the point where the pain of holding onto the lie is greater than the fear of letting go, and I'm proud to finally be letting my guard down.
My sexuality has been something I've struggled to come to terms with. I've known I was gay since I was a kid but growing up in a town of 2,000 people, a class of 48 kids and then turning pro as an athlete when I was 16, it just wasn't something I wanted to accept. I pushed my feelings away in the hopes that it was a passing phase but the thought of being found out kept me up at night. I constantly felt anxious, depressed and even suicidal.
