Using high doses of cocaine triggers brain cells to eat themselves, new research has found. The findings were revealed after scientists gave high doses of cocaine to mice. Cell death was also detected in mouse pups whose mothers received cocaine while pregnant.
The Sydney Opera House may be Australia’s most Instagrammed location, but the iconic opera halls have failed to entice people to come inside — and now it is on a mission to change that.
The architectural masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site was designed by Jørn Utzon and officially opened after much controversy in 1973. Today, it is the crowning jewel of Sydney Harbour and the most geo-tagged site on Instagram in Australia

There are only a handful of YouTube stars who have made the switch to television and film, names including EpicMealTime’s Harley Morenstein, singer Troye Sivan and comedian Bo Burnham.
Australian YouTuber MyChonny, real name John Luc, is the latest to make the switch. The YouTuber has 2.3 million subscribers globally, and unlike many who’ve made the jump before him — he’s not playing a bit part or an extra in a movie
He is also doing his bit to challenge Australia’s well-known lack of cultural diversity in film, TV and theatre.

Best Buy looks like it’s trying to get rid of its Moto X inventory. It is offering the 2nd generation Moto X 16GB in Black for $242.99 before sales tax. This price should last until Saturday, as any changes to Best Buy’s pricing are usually made overnight for Sunday.
Good luck finding any in-store though, as the ‘store pick up’ option is not available through the website. You may be able to find one if you call your local store. Though, you are more likely to not find one.
B&H Photography also has the 2nd generation Moto G on its website going for $99.99 before taxes and includes a free Belkin Charger Dock. B&H’s website even lets you choose between the worldwide variant and the US variant which only differ in cellular bands.
The Moto X 2nd gen. features a 5.2 inch AMOLED 1080p screen with a Snapdragon 801 processor. It has a 2300 mAh battery, 13 MP rear-facing camera, and Motorola’s own Moto Display which pulsates notifications on the actual screen.
Note that the Moto X does not have a microSD card slot, so you’ll be stuck with only 16GB of internal storage. Motorola only decided to include a microSD card on the 3rd generation of its ‘X’ line.
The Moto G 2nd gen. features a 5 inch 720p LCD screen and an 8MP rear camera. Motorola’s Moto G was among the best performing smartphones in sales numbers around the globe. Motorola made some great hardware and hope that Lenovo has plans to keep it that way.

LG is apparently going to unveil the G5 at MWC next month, ahead of its usual schedule for G-series smartphone launches. The company is said to finally be ready to tackle its Korean competitor Samsung head-on. Samsung will be revealing the Galaxy S7 at MWC, and so LG wants its G5 to directly compete with that.
To ensure the G5’s success, LG has been rumored to have significantly altered the design when compared to past G-series devices, including the G4 from last year. And now a leaked diagram for the G5 confirms just that.
As you can see, the G5 is probably going with a fully metallic build, given the cutouts on the back. It will also have its volume buttons on the side, something that hasn’t been seen in the G line since the Optimus G from 2012. On the other hand, the power button stays on the back, underneath the camera, yet this time around it will come with a built-in fingerprint scanner. A single speaker is on the bottom side of the device, while the 3.5 mm headset jack is up top.
The G5’s dimensions will allegedly be 149.4 x 73.9 x 8.2 mm. These make it taller yet narrower than its predecessor. Past rumors have talked about it featuring a 5.6-inch QHD touchscreen, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC at the helm, a 20 MP rear camera, and an 8 MP selfie snapper.

Every human has their celebrity doppelgänger. But not every human is able to see themselves in cat form — unless you are the lovable weirdo who is Adam Driver
Over the weekend, xoJane editor Marci Robin came across this cat at the Monmouth County SPCA that looks curiously like the Star Wars actor. Same ears, same nose. We’re guessing the same sardonic sense of humor.

No news yet whether this cat will make it to the big screen, too — but if there be a word, it will be YES.
