A Pennsylvania man recently captured a video of two venomous copperhead snakes mating near a bike trail and their intimate moment was jaw-dropping.
Jesse Rothacker, a reptile expert and Lancaster County resident, spotted the pair of copperhead snakes on a bike trail over the weekend, Fox News reported. Rothacker uploaded footage of the lusty reptiles on Facebook, after he alerted oncoming bikers and hikers about the mating duo.

While narrating the video, Rothacker explained how it was his first time watching copperhead snakes copulate in the area. The mating copperhead snakes are seen with their tails twisted together, engaging in internal fertilization, and not making noise, even when Rothacker was filming them from a close angle.
“Finding the snakes along the trail is very common,” Rothacker told Fox 43. “Finding the snakes actually getting jiggy with it is very hard to find in the wild, so I talked to many of my herpetology colleagues, and many confirm, they have not seen copperheads doing the deed, so we’re very fortunate to run into them at that time.”
According to Rothacker, there is a second fall breeding season for copperhead snakes. He also warned bikers and hikers to be aware of mating reptiles on their travels, since they like to “get it on” near trails. He didn’t share the location of the specific trail he was on, because he wanted to give the mating reptiles some privacy.

Office 365 subscribers always have the latest version of Microsoft Office — currently Office 2016. They also get more frequent software updates than those who have purchased Office 2016 without a subscription, which means subscribers have access to the latest features, security patches and bug fixes. But it can be hard to keep track of the changes in each update and know when they’re available. We’re doing this for you, so you don’t have to.
Following are key updates to Office 365 for Windows since Office 2016 was released in September 2015 — all the 2017 updates and the most important ones from 2016 and late 2015, with the latest releases shown first. We’ll add info about new updates as they’re rolled out.
The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have officially been confirmed by Apple, packing a new triple-lens camera setup, a new matte design, and more. Here are some of the iPhone 11 Pro features and changes that may have slipped under the radar during today’s event.

Apple says it's about hardware, software and services, and gave us some of each one: two new iPhones, an iPad, a watch, and a glimpse into what you'll be able to get from their video and game streaming services. Catch up here. Read more...

The iPhone has come a long way since its arrival in 2007.

SlashGear's Chris Davies was not a big fan of the camera bump, but he does understand why it was designed the way it was:From the outside, the phones look and feel slightly better than the iPhone XS, though quite a lot of that is the matte finish on the back, which I really prefer — though sometimes matte glass can be more slippy than glossy. Apple says the glass is more durable, and I really do like how it is one piece, with no seam on the camera bump.
So let's talk about the camera bump: it's big. But Apple has designed the lenses on it in such a way that it isn't trying to hide the giant square on the back. I don't love it, but everybody uses a case anyway, so that will help.
TechRadar's Gareth Beavis on the lower-end iPhone 11's cameras:I have to confess, I wasn’t feeling Apple’s big square camera array when I saw the leaked images and renders. Even now, I’m not 100-percent a fan, particularly when you look at the iPhone 11 Pro next to the iPhone XS Max.
Still, it’s easier to accept the aesthetic necessities when it’s constructed so expertly. Had the camera bulge been grafted on, it would’ve felt clumsy; by growing it out of the glass as a whole, it’s not necessarily pretty but it does feel intentional. Combined with the easier grip of the new texture, it feels far more changed than it looks.
PhotosBut enough about how this bump looks - what does it actually do? Well, two sensors live in there, both 12MP. However, this time around it's the standard lens plus an ultra-wide angle lens, enabling you to pull back to see more of a scene, with an instant visual suggestion to do so. […]
The quality of the images we took was impressive, although we couldn't test the camera hard in low-light settings, which is a real test for today's high-end smartphones. Apple is touting the night mode versions, and the test options they had for us to see looked good indeed.
The front-facing camera has been improved too, with the sensor being upgraded to 12MP to facilitate wider-angle pics when you rotate the phone landscape, as well as being able to shoot slow motion selfies as well (which Apple is infuriatingly calling Slofies).
"The best work of their lives."
That declarative statement of unambiguous triumph was issued by Tim Cook at today's Apple event held in the company's Steve Jobs Theater.
The CEO was heaping praise on his underlings' role in bringing the various products and services presented onstage to market — a feat which, in his mind, would surely be the crowning achievement of their lives. Which, when one considers the newly unveiled "slofie," suggests a collection of lives consisting of substantially more valleys than peaks.
For those still blissfully unaware, slofie is a portmanteau of "slow motion" and "selfie" that describes a new feature available with the iPhone 11's front-facing camera. Specifically, it allows customers to record a slowed down video of themselves. Read more...

But don’t trust us….trust those who survived: “It will make you afraid of your own home” – Bloody Disgusting “Crazy ambitious and insanely frightening” – iO9 “The future of fear and nope” – Polygon From film director, producer, and screenwriter Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity), comes the next generation of augmented reality survival horror.

Literpriset på bensin höjs med 15 öre vid årsskiftet - det bekräftade Socialdemokraterna för TV4-nyheterna idag. Moderaterna är kritiska till höjningen, men regeringen menar att priset hade blivit betydligt högre om man inte samtidigt sänkt bensinskatten.
TV4Nyheternas utsände Jonas Björck på plats i Bryssel kommenterar Ylva Johanssons nya position inom EU-kommissionen.
Den svenska regeringen hoppas på att kunna bygga upp ett Kinacenter – för att samla kunskap om den växande stormakten.
Pengarna som ska användas för byggnationen kommer att anslås i samband med att Sveriges nya Kinastrategi offentliggörs inom de närmaste dagarna skriver SVT.
Apple has actually hidden a binary message as an Easter egg in a couple frames of its “Apple event in a flash” video…
The post Apple included a hidden ‘blue screen of death’ Easter egg in its event supercut video appeared first on 9to5Mac.
The Verge's Dieter Bohn also talked about how there is little difference between this year's Apple Watch and last year's, calling the Series 5 a "dead ringer" for the Series 4. Bohn was a fan of the always-on display and believes that this feature will "finally make the Apple Watch a competent time piece."Apple just unveiled the newest Apple Watch (we're up to the Series 5 now) and -- I mean this in the nicest way -- but there isn't much to see. Whereas last year's model, the Series 4, ushered in a new, larger screen and a built-in electrocardiogram test, the differences in the Series 5 are difficult to notice at a glance. Chief among them: an always-on display that's constantly visible at dim brightness, but that wakes up to a fuller brightness when you tap it.
Beyond that, this is the Apple Watch you know well by now, just with some new bands and finishes. There's the screen, available in the same two sizes (40mm and 44mm). The Digital Crown is where it's always been (the upper right edge). Below it is that rectangular button you'll use less frequently, though Apple did announce today that you can now use it for international emergency calls on cellular models (i.e., not just in the country where you purchased and activated it).
If you're looking for more details about the Apple Watch Series 5, our full launch post has all of the information you'll need about the latest Apple wearable. You can also check out our posts on the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, and new 10.2-inch iPad to catch up with the news from today's event.It works just as you’d expect — you can see the full watch face at a dimmer brightness all the time, and then at full brightness when you lift your wrist up. The watchfaces are even able to show all of their complications and data in the always-on mode.
You can also just slap your hand down on the watch face to immediately dim it, which is some thing I do all the time and is weirdly more satisfying to do on the Series 5 than earlier models, since it changes the mode instead of just turning off the screen.
If you weren’t able to watch Apple’s September iPhone event live, good news, the full video is already available on Apple’s website and YouTube channel. The company also shared a two-minute supercut of the event on YouTube, along with other short videos highlighting iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, Apple Watch Series 5, and more.

Sure, Apple showed off new iPhones, a new iPad, and finally told us when we can subscribe to Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade. But its surprisingly short (less than two hours, for once) event on Tuesday still left us with some questions about other Apple products.
Mac Pro no-show
We still don't know when the Mac Pro is coming out.

Apple's new high-end desktop computer was an understandable omission from Tuesday's show. Everything else Apple showed was relatively affordable and meant for public consumption, at least compared to the $6,000 powerhouse that is the new Mac Pro. Read more...
