If you own an iPhone be on the lookout for the latest digital prank making the rounds which could turn your device into a very expensive paper weight.
You may see a post that looks something like an ad from Apple itself, telling you there's an "easter egg" or hidden feature that allows you to "relive the magic" of the past by setting your phone back in time to January 1, 1970.
However, if you change the date to the start of 1970 for any iPhone that is a 5s and up, your phone will be "bricked," or unable to be rebooted. Other iOS devices that are affected are iPad Air or above, iPad mini 2, and the sixth generation iPod touch, ZDNet reports.
Here's the message to watch out for:
Apple posted a statement on its website today warning consumers, "Manually changing the date to May 1970 or earlier can prevent your iOS device from turning on after a restart." The company says it is working on a fix. "An upcoming software update will prevent this issue from affecting iOS devices," Apple announced. "If you have this issue, contact Apple Support."
ALEC BALDWIN:FANTASIZED ABOUT KILLING TMZ BOSS
In 2007, TMZ shared the now infamous voice mail of a heated Alec Baldwin calling his 11-year-old daughter Ireland a “rude, thoughtless little pig.” It's fair to say that almost nine years later, Baldwin is still pretty steamed about it.
In an interview with The New Yorker, which has a lengthy investigative piece about TMZ, Baldwin says he used to fantasize about killing TMZ founder Harvey Levin. He says, "There was a time when my greatest wish was to stab Harvey Levin with a rusty implement and watch his entrails go running down my forearm.
I wanted him to die in my arms, while looking into my eyes, and I wanted to say to him, ‘Oh, Harvey, you thoughtless little pig.'"
Baldwin goes on to call Levin, "a festering boil on the anus of American media.”
Ashley Judd has joined the cast of the new Twin Peaks series coming to Showtime. She joins Kyle MacLachlan, Sherilyn Fenn, Amanda Seyfried, Laura Dern and Jennifer Jason Leigh in the revival, which will air in 2017.
GILLIAN ANDERSON SAYS NO BOTOX:
Gillian Anderson refutes the possibility that she is using Botox.
The actress reacted to “The Daily Mail’s” suggestion that she had work done to her forehead, eyes, neck, cheeks, nose, lips and chin. Anderson denied using Botox anywhere, and tweeted a photo with the captain, “This is how I really look!”
On another note, Anderson did admit that it was hard for her to pick up with her character of Scully in “The X-Files” new mini series.
"I struggled in the first week. I was trying to find the Scully of the past, rather than accepting time had passed,” she explained. “She and Mulder aren't together and she's carved out a world for herself, in medicine, working with a particular disease, with children, assisting surgeons,"
"You get the sense that she goes to work, she goes to her apartment, and that's her life. There is something missing and, of course, the thing that's missing is Mulder."
