Selfies have killed more people than shark attacks in 2015

Our vanity’s being taken to an entirely different and dangerous level. Mashable released a story claiming there have been more selfie-related deaths than shark attacks so far in 2015. Twelve people already died while attempting to take selfies and eight have passed away following a shark attack. Although Digital Trends got in touch with George Burgess, director of shark research at the Florida Museum of Natural History, and he said the number of shark attack-related deaths are at six. This means selfies are twice as dangerous then. Selfies are all fun and good but please, if you think you’re attempting something to risky, let’s just save that vanity for another time.

Google Keep comes to iOS

Two years following its debut on Android devices and on the web, Google Keep finally makes its way to Apple’s iOS platform. The note-taking and to-do list app from Google brings with it things like location-based reminders, shared lists, and quick search and filtering. It’s available for both the iPhone and the iPad. If you use an Android wearable with your iOS devices, it’ll work with the app, too.

Pixelmator integrates iOS 9 features in update

Pixelmator’s latest update readies it for the new iOS 9 features. The photo editing app now supports multitasking on the iPad by taking advantage of the Slide Over and Split View modes. It’ll only work on an iPad Air 2, Mini 4, and iPad Pro, at the moment though. The app also now has support for 8K-resolution images. It’s possible for you to copy these images to the iOS clipboard, too. You can now also open files from anywhere and save these in the same location with “Open in Place” or you can open an image from Photos and overwrite those files afterwards.
