The mufti which is Lebanon’s top Islamic authority, said Ramadan would also begin in the country on Saturday, May 27, and a similar statement was made by officials in Iraq’s Muslim Sunni minority.

Not satisfied with dominating social media or copying everything about  Snapchat , Facebook's getting into original programming. This is according to a new report that the social network signed deals with online media sites to make shows for an upcoming video service that looks to compete with  YouTube . The news broke in a story from  Reuters , which cited "several sources familiar with the situation." Facebook's programming will consist of scripted episodes that last between 20 and 30 minutes, as well as scripted and unscripted shows with running times between 5 and 10 minutes. Facebook will own the longer-form shows and not the shorter ones, which creators will run on "their own properties after a negotiated period of time." All of the shows will feature ads, and Facebook will give creators a slight majority (55 percent) of the ad revenue.

A security vulnerability in the way that popular video players like VLC and Kodi load third-party subtitles has been brought to light by Israeli security firm  Check Point . The firm points out that malicious subtitles could run code on a PC, essentially giving attackers full access. Check Point specifically called out Kodi, VLC, Popcorn Time and strem.io as being vulnerable to this type of attack, though it's possible that other video-playing software that uses third-party subtitles may also be affected. As of this writing, VLC and Popcorn Time have both issued updates that fix the vulnerability, and Kodi and strem.io are said to be working on patches. In  a video,  Check Point demonstrated the vulnerability in Popcorn Time and Kodi, taking over users' computers when they launched the subtitles. The malicious subtitles are likely to come from online repositories that allow public submissions, making it possible for anyone to put malicious files up for public

The results for the latest American Customer Satisfaction Index survey are in, and sitting at the top is Apple's iPhone SE , a bite-sized spinoff device that came out over a year ago. After a poll of over 36,000 customers, the iPhone SE netted 87 points out of a possible 100, putting it just ahead of the Galaxy S6 Edge+ (86 points) and iPhone 7 Plus (86 points).   Rounding out the top 5 are the Galaxy S6 Edge (85) and Galaxy S7 (84).

SAMSUNG DEX REVIEW THE GOOD Super-simple setup Cheaper than most Chromebooks Easy to use Adds Ethernet and two USB Type-A ports THE BAD Small number of officially supported apps Can't snap windows Android multitasking is still weak Images and video don't always look as sharp as they should VERDICT Samsung's $150, puck-shaped DeX station is the slickest attempt yet at turning a phone into a desktop, but this system is definitely a work in progress. Motorola tried it with the  Atrix  and failed. Fujitsu thought about trying it with the  Lifebook 2013  concept, and failed. And a handful of Windows Mobile phones, including the  HP Elite x3 ,  Acer Liquid Jade Primo  and Microsoft  Lumia 950  tried it, and haven't mustered anything more than the most lukewarm of receptions. But that's not going to stop Samsung and its new DeX Station for the  Galaxy S8  from becoming the latest in a long line of devices that have trie
