Breaking Bad taught us a lot of things — perhaps the most important of which was don’t mess with your chemistry teacher — but it also schooled us in the power of monosyllables. Jesse Pinkman’s variations on the phrase, “Yo, bitch!” echo all around the Internet and there are dozens on montages on YouTube of the actor Aaron Paul tossing out that singular catchphrase. It turns out that so many people want Paul to call them bitch that he decided to create an app that does just that.

YB, short for “yo, bitch,” is a messaging app that lets you text your friends à la Jesse Pinkman. It’s basically a copy of the app Yo, but with Aaron Paul, and that makes all the difference. When you send your friends a message with YB, you’ll hear Paul exclaiming, “Yo, bitch!” in several different tones, including regular, excited, annoyed, and whisper. These basic phrases are free, but if you’re a true fanatic, there are several hilarious phrase packs that you can download for a buck each.

Yo Bitch! To everyone that has ever asked me to call them a bitch, here you go. It’s an App Bitch! Happy Holidays. https://t.co/CjS1rcSROe

The Greetings Pack includes true gems like, “Bonjour, bitch!” and “Salutations, bitch!” Meanwhile, the Socrates Pack is filled with existential questions like, “Why? bitch!” and the Love pack contains sweet nothings like, “Come over, bitch!”

To get started, all you have to do is download the app and invite your friends via your contacts list, text, email, or Facebook invites. Once you’ve got all your friends onboard, you can yo bitch each other all day long, though Paul warns you not to get in trouble at work with all that profanity. Sadly, it’s only available on iOS for now, but Paul says it’ll hit Android in 2015. In the meantime, iOS users can hit the App Store to check it out.

A new leak teases how thin the Galaxy S25 Slim will be — and it’s impressive

The Samsung Galaxy S25 "Slim" has been part of the rumor mill for a while now. If you've missed it, here's what you need to know: It almost certainly does exist, and it's expected to launch sometime during the middle of 2025, instead of next month like the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup. And now, we have a better idea of just how thin this phone might actually be.

Well-known tipster Ice Universe shared the information on Weibo, stating that its thickness "may be 6.x mm." In other words, the leaker isn't sure of the exact thickness, but expects it to fall between 6mm and 6.9mm.

Google Photos is getting a cool new feature to speed up your photo edits

Google Photos' year in review feature for 2024.

Google Photos for Android is introducing a new feature that simplifies photo editing right before sharing. A tipster from Android Authority first reported this tool.

The new “Quick Edit” tool lets users easily enhance or crop individual photos before sharing them. It features an “Enhance” button, which functions similarly to the “Enhance” effect in the standard photo-editing options. A crop button is also similar to the one in the regular photo editor. When multiple photos are selected before hitting the share button, the typical share sheet appears instead of the new “Quick Edit” screen.

The base model Galaxy S25 will get a RAM upgrade we’ve waited years for

Someone holding the Samsung Galaxy S24 with the display turned on.

Back in November, we heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 might come with an upgraded amount of RAM compared to the base Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra both start with 12GB of RAM minimum, but until now, the majority of base-model Samsung handsets only had 8GB.

Abhishek Yadav, a known leaker, shared a post on X that said the base storage variant of the Galaxy S25 would come with 12GB of RAM. This also implies that the base storage is likely to be 256GB too. As apps, operating systems, and integrated AI become more powerful, so do their technical requirements. A bump to the base amount of RAM and storage will yield improved performance (hopefully) without a significant cost increase.
