New leak shows off the entire Sony Xperia XZ1

Yesterday we got to see what the rear panel on Sony’s upcoming flagship might look like. But a new leak shows off the alleged design of the Xperia XZ1 in all its glory. Aside from showing off the possible design of the phone, the leak also “confirms” or reveals some of the specs we’re expecting the Xperia XZ1 to have: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 19-megapixel rear camera with Motion Eye feature, 13-megapixel front camera, 5.2-inch HDR display, IP65/68, and have Sony’s 3D feature, too. Our wait isn’t that long to find out if any of these hold up as Sony is set to debut new devices at IFA in Berlin at the start of September.

Doctor Strange makes appearance in New ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Japanese trailer

Thor: Ragnarok—or as it’s being called in Japan, Thor: Battle Royale—gets a new trailer as we near the release date of the film (it comes out November 3^rd here). But while it’s pretty standard and showed off some of the clips we’ve seen before. The opening of the trailer shows us something, or should we say, someone new. Doctor Strange makes an appearance at the start of the trailer talking to Thor about a “great change” happening in his future. It might seem like a random appearance but it makes sense as Thor appeared in the mid-credits scene of Doctor Strange with them talking about Asgardian affairs.

We already know that they need to make sure they start each fresh year with making sure they've got their laptops and smart phones ready. But what else do they need?

We unofficially asked a few students who've experienced at least a year of being away from home to let us know what else they would recommend. And no, you don't need a drone.

We've learned that August 16th is International Tell A Joke Day and while we're trying to remember a few good punch lines, we've taking to Google Trends to find out what's funny for Canadians. Are Canadians funny? You bet! We love a good laugh and we don't need Google data to know that Canadians have a good sense of humour! Is it because of the unpredictable weather and the change of seasons? Who knows!

Apparently "Tell a Joke Day" has been celebrated worlwide since jokes began. According to daysoftheyear.com that goes wayyyy back to 1900 BC and apparently it was a fart joke.
