Cody Simpson Defends Justin Bieber's Fight With Orlando Bloom

Even though Cody Simpson and Justin Bieber are such good friends that they're rumored to beworking on an album together, we still weren't sure how Cody would react to Justin's brawl withOrlando Bloom. Despite the drama, the "Surfboard" singer didn't hold back when asked about his feelings towards his bestie.

"Obviously we're all young and he gets himself into some stuff sometimes," Cody told with Australia's The Morning Show. "He's a person I'd go to for everything. He's like a big brother. He has the world in his hands as he does a lot of good as well. I've got all good things to say."

Of course, we don't know how Cody would react to Justin's Instagram retaliation, but it seems like he's sticking with his bro no matter what.

Is Louis Tomlinson Mad at Zayn Malik for Missing His Mom's Wedding?

Is Louis Tomlinson Mad at Zayn Malik for Missing His Mom's Wedding?

When Zayn Malik didn't show up to Louis Tomlinson's mom's wedding and instead chose to go on acamping trip with Perrie Edwards' family, people assumed there was One Direction drama. We thought everything was cool, but now The Sun claims that Louis is mad at Zayn for skipping out on the wedding!

"Louis was very disappointed that Zayn decided not to attend his mom's wedding," their source said. "The boys have been through so much together over the past four years that their families have all grown close, so Louis was upset at the no-show."

You might have been worried when you saw #LouisAnswerYourPhone trending on Twitter, but Louis isn't ignoring Zayn's phone calls — Zayn might just be making a joke!

We think they Louis and Zayn are as tight as ever. While Louis probably wanted Zayn to be at his mom's ceremony, we don't think Zayn's absence would cause any serious drama, especially because the 1D boys spend so much time together and are there for each other when they need it.

You'll Never Guess Who Tried to Punch Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber's tiffs with the paparazzi are pretty well-known, but we never expected him to get into a full-blown fight with another celeb. According to footage found by TMZ, Orlando Bloom and Justin got into such a heated argument that Orlando tried to take a swing at Justin the Ibiza restaurant!

While we knew there was some tension between Justin and Orlando  we had no clue things would actually get physical. Justin's bodyguards seemed to diffuse the tension, and who knows what would have happened if they weren't there?

Still, Justin seemed unfazed by the fight, even tweeting that he was keeping things positive.

But their argument got pretty heated, so we wonder exactly what they were fighting about. Shockingly, Selena might only be part of the reason that they had such an intense encounter!

Facebook Is Killing Off Its Gift Service Altogether

Facebook Is Killing Off Its Gift Service Altogether

The laziest way to send your nearest and dearest a gift is gone: Facebook has announced that it's killing off its Gifts service entirely as of August 12th.

This time last year, Facebook shuttered the part of its gift service that allowed users to order physical presents through the site. Instead, for the past twelve months you've been able to send digital gift cards to friends on the social network. Now, though, reports Re/code, it's decided to shut down the whole outfit.
According to Facebook, the decision is part of a move to help developers and businesses that use Facebook to drive their own sales, rather than turning Facebook into its own online store. Indeed, Facebook has recently been trialling a Buy button, asserting itself as kind of storefront where it handles the transactions and third parties fulfil the orders.
That may be true. But the other reason that Facebook is shutting down Gifts? Because nobody used it.

UK to allow driverless cars on roads

UK to allow driverless cars on roads

BBC News

The UK government has announced that driverless cars will be allowed on public roads from January next year.
It also invited cities to compete to host one of three trials of the tech, which would start at the same time.
In addition, ministers ordered a review of the UK's road regulations to provide appropriate guidelines.
The Department for Transport had originally pledged to let self-driving cars be trialled on public roads by the end of 2013.

Business Secretary Vince Cable revealed the details of the new plan at a research facility belonging to Mira, an automotive engineering firm based in the Midlands.
"Today's announcement will see driverless cars take to our streets in less than six months, putting us at the forefront of this transformational technology and opening up new opportunities for our economy and society," he said.

UK engineers, including a group at the University of Oxford, have been experimenting with driverless cars. But, concerns about legal and insurance issues have so far restricted the machines to private roads.
Other countries have, however, been swifter to provide access to public routes.
The US States of California, Nevada and Florida have all approved tests of the vehicles. In California alone, Google's driverless car has done more than 300,000 miles on the open road.
In 2013, Nissan carried out Japan's first public road test of an autonomous vehicle on a highway.
And in Europe, the Swedish city of Gothenburg has given Volvo permission to test 1,000 driverless cars - although that trial is not scheduled to occur until 2017.
Competition cash

UK cities wanting to host one of the trials have until the start of October to declare their interest.
The tests are then intended to run for between 18 to 36 months.
A £10m fund has been created to cover their costs, with the sum to be divided between the three winners.
Meanwhile, civil servants have been given until the end of this year to publish a review of road regulations.
This will cover the need for self-drive vehicles to comply with safety and traffic laws, and involve changes to the Highway Code, which applies to England, Scotland and Wales.
Two area will be examined by the review: how the rules should apply to vehicles in which the driver can take back control at short notice, and how they should apply to vehicles in which there is no driver.
How do driverless cars work?

The label "driverless vehicle" actually covers a lot of different premises.
Indeed, the cruise control, automatic braking, anti-lane drift and self-parking functions already built into many vehicles offer a certain degree of autonomy.

But the term is generally used to refer to vehicles that take charge of steering, accelerating, indicating and braking during most if not all of a journey between two points, much in the same way aeroplanes can be set to autopilot.

Unlike the skies, however, the roads are much more crowded, and a range of technologies are being developed to tackle the problem.

One of the leading innovations is Lidar (light detection and ranging), a system that measures how lasers bounce off reflective surfaces to capture capture information about millions of small points surrounding the vehicle every second. The technology is already used to create the online maps used by Google and Nokia.

Another complimentary technique is "computer vision" - the use of software to make sense of 360-degree images captured by cameras attached to the vehicle, which can warn of pedestrians, cyclists, roadworks and other objects that might be in the vehicle's path.
Autonomous vehicles can also make use of global-positioning system (GPS) location data from satellites; radar; ultrasonic sensors to detect objects close to the car; and further sensors to accurately measure the vehicle's orientation and the rotation of its wheels, to help it understand its exact location.

The debate now is whether to allow cars, like the prototype unveiled by Google in May, to abandon controls including a steering wheel and pedals and rely on the vehicle's computer.
Or whether, instead, to allow the machine to drive, but insist a passenger be ready to wrest back control at a moment's notice.

International rivals
In May, Google unveiled plans to manufacture 100 self-driving vehicles.
The search-giant exhibited a prototype which has no steering wheel or pedals - just a stop-go button.
Google has also put its autonomous driving technology in cars built by other companies, including Toyota, Audi and Lexus.

Other major manufacturers, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and General Motors, are developing their own models.
Most recently, the Chinese search engine Baidu also declared an interest, saying its research labs were at an "early stage of development" on a driverless car project.

But concerns about the safety of driverless cars have been raised by politicians in the US and elsewhere.
Earlier this month, the FBI warned that driverless cars could be used as lethal weapons, predicting that the vehicles "will have a high impact on transforming what both law enforcement and its adversaries can operationally do with a car".
