Twitter is shutting down Vine

Twitter is shutting down video-sharing service Vine "in the coming months," the company announced Thursday. Vine, which lets you share short video clips, debuted in 2013. Twitter acquired Vine in 2012 before the service had even launched.

The news comes the same day Twitter announced it would lay off more than 300 workers, or 9% of the company's global workforce, within the company's sales, partnerships, and marketing teams.

"Nothing is happening to the apps, website or your Vines today," Twitter said in a release, adding that users will be given a heads-up and be able to download their Vines before the app shutters for good.

Twitter will be keeping Vine's website up indefinitely. "We think it’s important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made," the company said.

Hillary Clinton finally admits she draws fashion inspiration from Death Row Records

With All Eyez on Hillary Clinton, the Democratic contender admitted at last totaking sartorial cues from legendary rap label Death Row Records.

“I think Death Row and a lot of other fashion sources have influenced my look, don’t you?” Clinton quipped on Wednesday, prompted by hosts of the Breakfast Club on Power 105.1.

A viral meme posted after the third and final presidential debate had compared images from each of Clinton’s debate outfits — ranging from red to blue to white — with similar getups donned by record label co-founder Suge Knight and its artists Tupac and Snoop Dogg.

“We gone sit here and act like Hillary Clinton ain't been representing Death Row Records at all 3 debates?” queried Twitter user @double_cupp_me.

Man Who Destroyed Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk Of Fame Star Arrested — Turns Out He's A MILLIONAIRE!

The hammer of the law is coming down on the man who destroyed Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star.

Early on Thursday, LAPD tracked down James Otis in West Hollywood as he was leaving a home and arrested him for felony vandalism.

The activist told press he took a sledgehammer and a pickax to Trump's plaquebecause he was furious over the near dozen sexual assault allegations that have come out against the Republican nominee.

Heir to the Otis Elevator Company fortune and apparently worth millions, Otis had reportedly planned to hold a press conference before turning himself in, but was arrested by police before he had the chance.

No ten minutes of fame for you, James!

The elevator heir was reportedly cooperative with police and had previously stated he "wasn't afraid" of Trump, or being taken to court for that matter — which is a good thing, since he could face three years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

The Mercedes-Benz pick-up truck is here — and it's called the X-Class

Mercedes-Benz

On Tuesday, Mercedes-Benz gave the public their first look at the company's upcoming pickup truck in the form of the new X-Class Concept. According to Mercedes-Benz, the new X-Class will be the world's first true "premium" pickup truck.

Introduced in a ceremony in Stockholm, the new X-Class marks Mercedes' official entry into what is perhaps the most competitive, territorial, and lucrative segment in the automotive market.

"With the Mercedes-Benz pickup, we will close one of the last gaps in our portfolio," Daimler chairman and head of Mercedes-Benz Dr Dieter Zetsche said in a statement. "Our target: we want to offer customers vehicles matching their specific needs. The X-Class will set new standards in a growing segment."

In the US, the midsize pickup segment, where the X-Class will compete, is growing at more than 20% a year. At the same time, the midsize pickup also dominate in Argentina, Australia, and Brazil. Unfortunately, Mercedes-Benz does not plan to offer the X-Class for sale in the US when it enters production late next year. Or perhaps fortunately for Mercedes, as the US pickup market is dominated by the Detroit Big Three. 

Instead, Mercedes is expected to offer the X-Class in Europe, Latin America, South America, and Africa. No official pricing information for the X-Class has been released. 

Here's a closer look at the Mercedes-Benz X-Class pickup.On Tuesday, Mercedes' Van division debuted two versions of the Concept X-Class.
