Instagram bug on Android lets other users see your direct messages
Instagram’s new feature allowing multiple accounts comes with a caveat for Android users: there’s a bug that shares your personal notifications and direct messages with other users.
If you share access to an account with other Instagram users on Android, you may have noticed that DMs and notifications on your personal, non-shared account are being sent to them as well.
Here's a breakdown: Let's say you and I each have personal Instagram accounts and both have access to a third, shared account. If someone sends me a direct message to my personal account, you might also receive a push notification for that private, direct message even though it isn't sent to you or our shared account.

It's hard to believe we're already more than a month into 2016. January flew by in a flash, and February greeted us with candy hearts.
Our next photo challenge, brought to you by Mashable and Lipton, is all about sharing the things that brighten the season.
Is it the beautiful orange sunset that adds color to an otherwise cold, white day? Or a good deed spotted in the middle of a busy street? Maybe it's a portrait of your puppy, one where he's basically beaming with excitement to see you return home. Show us the people, places and scenes that uplift your everyday winter routine.

Samsung might be having a little too much fun with the unveiling of its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7.
In its latest bit of pre-release hype, Samsung marched a llama by the name of Kuzco through what looks like a First Order hangar bay to "unbox" the new flagship phone. Then it took Kuzco out, parked him in front of a canvas, and let him loose with some paint brushes that look specially designed for llama mouths.
Here's what Kuzco (the same name as the emperor-turned-llama in The Emperor's New Groove, natch) drew: Read more...
Zendaya did her own makeup for the Grammys this year
Zendaya’s retro mullet and David Bowie-inspired suit are still topping Grammys headlines.
But the singer’s look captivated us for another reason.
The new face of CoverGirl decided to try out some of the company's products by doing her own makeup for the awards show this year. Typically, stars spend a reported $1,000 to $2,000 on makeup alone for the night of awards shows. That's not to mention the thousands spent on clothing, hair and alterations.
Zendaya, 19, ended up with something neutral and refined — the perfect complement to her sophisticated pantsuit.
Some Syrian refugees can now pay for food just by scanning their eyes
In Jordan, some Syrian refugees can now pay for their groceries with the blink of an eye.
The United Nations World Food Programme, which addresses the food needs of refugee populations, launched a new system at Jordan's King Abdullah Park refugee camp on Tuesday that uses iris scans to confirm the identities of refugees, quickly processing payment for those who receive food assistance. The World Food Programme called it a "milestone" in the evolution of its food assistance program.
The system, though new to the World Food Programme, is not new to refugees in their relationship with the U.N. Similar technology is already used when refugees register with the U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR), using their unique irises as a sort of fingerprint to store identification information in a database. Read more...

You might think 2014 was a bad year for the NFL. A domestic violence scandal roiled the league. Meanwhile, damaging information continued to emerge about the brutal effects football has on former players — and the NFL's prior efforts to obfuscate that information
But 2014 was a very, very good year for commissioner Roger Goodell. He was paid a whopping $34.1 million in salary and bonuses by the NFL
Goodell's compensation for 2014 was revealed Tuesday in the NFL's tax filings for that year. Because the NFL is a technically registered as a tax-exempt non-profit (I know, right!?), those filings are public record and were widely reported Tuesday morning Read more...

No one asked for 'Kindergarten Cop 2,' but here's a trailer for it anyway
Why isn't Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising his cult-favorite '90s role for Kindergarten Cop 2? Maybe it really was a tumor after all?
Anyway, the first trailer for this Dolph Lundgren-starring sequel is here, and it features a kid peeing in a trash can while wearing said trash can's lid on his head. That's all you really need to know about the sequel to Kindergarten Cop.
Lundgren plays FBI agent Reed, who goes undercover while hunting for stolen data. Unfortunately for Reed, he's also old and out of touch, so the school's liberal environment and emphasis on political correctness are a confusing surprise. Read more...

Baby pandas might have chubby legs and bad eyesight. But put them on camera and they crawl like kings
The Toronto Zoo recently released this video of their 4-month-old baby panda cubs taking their first adorable steps. Sure, they don't always stick their landings. They're baby pandas, not gymnasts.
Every time they tumble, our hearts skip a beat. There's no way they can be injured, we think. They just collapse into a pile of their own beautiful fluffy flesh.
The more they fall, the more we awwwww
