Microsoft Word is getting a to-do feature to help people manage documents
Microsoft is starting to test a new to-do feature in Word today. The software maker found that a lot of people leave notes in their Word documents as placeholders to add more text, images, or charts. Microsoft is now making these notes a lot more powerful with a to-do feature that automatically tracks when you’ve left these little notes to yourself or others.
Word has had comments for years, but this new to-do feature will automatically find where you might have written “todo:” or “<

Vince Gilligan is reportedly writing a Breaking Bad spinoff film
Breaking Bad may be returning to the spotlight again, this time with a new spinoff film from series creator Vince Gilligan. According to The Albuquerque Journal, Gilligan’s new project, currently dubbed Greenbriar, “tracks the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.”
Breaking Bad was a record-breaking critical darling by the time its finale aired in 2013. The five-season series has a definitive ending for central antihero Walter White, played by breakout star Bryan Cranston, but that hasn’t prevented additional storytelling within its universe. The prequel series Better Call Saul, starring Bob Odenkirk as a shifty lawyer who had a supporting role on Breaking Bad, has already enjoyed four critically lauded seasons of its own.

Facebook blocks more fake accounts from Russian troll group
Facebook says that the 30 Facebook accounts and 85 Instagram accounts it blocked yesterday for “inauthentic behavior” appear to originate from Russia. A site that claims to be associated with the Russia-based Internet Research Agency (IRA) later posted a list of fake Instagram accounts it made before the US midterm elections, which included many that were removed by Facebook yesterday and others that the company has now blocked.
The IRA was previously linked to interfering with the 2016 presidential election. In April, Facebook suspended 70 Facebook accounts, 138 pages, and 65 Instagram accounts that were controlled by the IRA, following a months-long investigation.

Bella Hadid Claps Back at Online Critics Who Say She’s Too Skinny
With the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show happening in just a few days, bombshell model Bella Hadid finally confirmed her glorious presence with a simple yet stunning Instagram post that she will indeed be walking in her third VS Fashion Show this year.

She initially captioned the picture:
@victoriassecret fittings today?i can’t wait for you to see all of the beautiful outfits …i’m so grateful to be a part of the show again, feeling happier and healthier than ever?
However, her cheeky post was met with a lot of criticism, with fans body shaming her and leaving harsh comments such as “You said this is healthy? Your bones are showing off and you said it’s healthy?” and “Skin and bone. That second page is quite frankly disturbing.”

Another user commented: “I have nothing against being slim but this is unhealthy on so many levels. Shame on @victoriassecret for encouraging and promoting this totally unrealistic image. We must put an end to the concept of looks = value.”
And after receiving so much hate for her slimmer than ever figure, she addressed her haters by editing her caption to include:
(all body types are different and react differently to a great workout routine and a healthy diet❤️???)
Well said, Bella. Clearly, she’s been working her ass off to get that bangin’ bod, and that’s something that should be admired. Frankly, I think most women would love to have a body as incredible as hers.
And as long as she’s happy and healthy, we’re not complaining about pictures like those. Keep ’em coming, I say….

The man behind a spree of gaming network cyberattacks has pleaded guilty
A man who helped orchestrate attacks on several gaming platforms, then abruptly disappeared in 2014, pleaded guilty in a California court yesterday.

DerpTrolling rose to prominence in December 2013 when it attacked a series of game networks, briefly overloading the servers for League of Legends, Dota 2, and Blizzard’s Battle.net platform….
