ISIS militant tweets selfie giving away location, Air Force blows up entire HQ 22hrs later
Islamic State militants like to use social media for their propaganda and sometimes, the use of social media is their undoing. According to reports, an Islamic State militant tweeted a selfie in front of an IS headquarters in Syria, bragging about how they have recently seized a new territory. Unknowingly to them, intelligence analysts in the US were able to determine the exact location the pic was taken.
A day after the selfie was posted, a coalition airstrike tore the building to shreds and killed everyone inside.

"The guys were combing through social media and see some moron standing at this command bragging about the command and control capabilities for Daesh,” Air Force General and head of Air Combat Command, Herbert ‘Hawk’ Carlisle, told The Telegraph “Long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building, three JDAM’s [Joint Direct Attack Munitions] take that entire building out. It was a post on social media. Bombs on target in 22 hours.

Chinese businessman pays $2.35 million to eat lunch with Warren Buffett
A Chinese multimillionaire businessman has agreed to pay $2,345,678 for a
private lunch with one of the world's richest men, Warren Buffett. He
won the charity auction to have dinner with the billionaire investor.
The money will benefit the Glide Foundation (a nonprofit in San
Francisco that provides food, health care, rehabilitation and other
services to the poor and homeless)
According to Reuters, Glide said the man, Zhu Ye, chairman of Beijing-based Dalian Zeus Entertainment Co, submitted the highest of 76 bids to win the five-day auction on eBay, which concluded on Friday night. His bid was well below the $3,456,789 winning bid in 2012, still a record for an eBay charity auction, but will help Glide meet its $16 million annual budget. The 16 auctions have raised about $20.2 million.
The man can invite up to seven friends to eat with Buffett at the Smith & Wollensky steakhouse in Manhattan. Buffett, 84, will talk about almost anything, including philanthropy and life, but not what he is buying and selling.
The auctions began in 2000 after Buffett's first wife Susan introduced him to Glide. She died in 2004.
None of the first three winners paid more than $25,000, but the price soared once the auctions, which had been live only, moved online in 2003.
Buffett is worth $69.2bn ranking fourth worldwide. He is donating nearly all his wealth to charity.
The following are the winning bids in the Glide auctions:
