Inspire your future self with Tomorrow app

 

Sometimes we need something to boost our energy and get us through the day. The Tomorrow app hopes to be that for you. It lets you record a message that you can play for the next day. You won’t be able to listen to it on the day you record it but you can play it the following day. Messages get deleted after the day is over whether you play them or not. If you’re feeling a bit cheesy, at least you won’t have a permanent (or at least we hope it isn’t permanent) record of your self-motivation. But if this is your kind of thing, we’re sure you’ll enjoy that extra boost.

‘Star Wars’ characters gets Vanity Fair cover

It’s not exactly news when big Hollywood celebrities grace the cover of Vanity Fair. But having some of the biggest names in the fantasy genre are on the cover, it’ll make news. The magazine just released a Star Wars cover with Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca alongside newcomers Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega), and BB-8 droid. It was shot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz for the magazine’s June issue. It seems to have been taken inside the cockpit of a spacecraft.

If having the characters isn’t enough to emphasize this is a Star Wars issue, there’s even a Yoda quote on the cover that says: “In a dark place we find ourselves – a little more knowledge might light our way.” Vanity Fair promises to release more photos and videos from the shoot this Monday.

Twitter shuts down the ability to play games in tweets

It was fun while it lasted. But Twitter decided that users shouldn’t be able to play classic MS-DOS games within the app. This unintended feature was said to violate the “rules of engagement” of the site. Twitter hasn’t allowed developers yet to host rich applications within its social network so the shutdown doesn’t come as a surprise.
