Netflix releases trailer for film ‘Murder Mystery’

There is no wondering what this upcoming Netflix film is about. Starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, Murder Mystery follows NYC cop (Sandler) and his wife (Aniston) on the long overdue European trip. They found themselves invited to an intimate family gathering on the Super Yacht of elderly billionaire Malcolm Quince. And when Quince is murdered, the couple becomes the prime suspect in this modern day whodunit. The film also stars Luke Evans, Gemma Arterton, Luis Gerardo Mendez, and Terence Stamp. It’s directed by Kyle Newacheck and written by James Vanderbilt. Murder Mystery is coming to Netflix on June 14.

A hidden Instagram feature shows the social network considering hiding the like count on people’s photos

While it’s a feature that’s unreleased, it’s one that would definitely cause a lot of discussion and change how people use Instagram. Code hunter and programmer Jane Wong found an unreleased feature that would publicly hide like counts from followers. The test describes this as letting “your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get.” Only those who post will be able to see the number of likes received. According to a spokesperson from Instagram, “We’re not testing this at the moment, but exploring ways to reduce pressure on Instagram is something we’re always thinking about.” How do you feel though if Instagram decided to roll this out? Would that still encourage you to use the app?
