The president of the European Central Bank reiterated his call on Friday for euro zone countries to reform their economies, warning that future growth would remain modest.

Easy financing should not stop reform, he said.

"It should ... be clear that the argument that accommodative monetary policy constitutes an excuse for governments and parliaments to postpone their reform efforts is incorrect," Mario Draghi said.

In making his appeal, Draghi warned countries that Europe still faced difficult times ahead, despite the boost that the ECB's money printing is giving the economy.

"The economic outlook for the euro area is brighter today than it has been for seven long years," he said, before pointing to high levels of debt in parts of the euro currency bloc and entrenched high unemployment that he said "haunts too many countries".

"A cyclical recovery alone does not solve all of Europe’s problems," Draghi told an audience of central bankers and academics at an event organized by the ECB in Portugal.

"While some of the effects of the crisis on investment and employment are expected to unwind, potential growth is projected to remain well below pre-crisis growth rates," he said.

Facebook recently launched cross platform video calling in Messenger, offering a new service to their more than 600 million active users. At launch, the service was restricted to just under 20 countries, though not Australia but that’s now changed with users now able to make video calls across Android and iOS.

David Marcus, vice president of messaging products, announced the addition of more countries in a Facebook post today, saying:

“We’re happy to share we’ve now rolled out the capability globally, with the exception of a few countries we’re still working on improving quality for. So make sure you get the latest and greatest version for iOS and Android, give it a try, and as always… tell us how we can make it even better for you!”

Facebook has been building out their Messenger platform of late, introducing ways for companies to add functions through apps plugging into the service. This has perhaps been in response to a bit of backlash that Facebook suffered when they separated the app from the main Facebook app. Adding the ability to video chat with other Facebook users brings Messenger on par with a number of other competing services.

If you’ve not had a chance to try it out, you can install Messenger now and start video chatting right now.

1. Avoiding work is often the No. 1 priority, even if it means hiding.

 

2. Getting called in on the weekends = cranky, hungover staff members.

 

3. Getting hit on at the drive-thru window is an everyday experience, and we laugh at you as you drive up to the next window.

 

4. Getting teased by your “friends” is also a common experience.

 

5. Sometimes we actually love the Happy Meal toys… but we would n

ever, ever admit it.

 

6. We have all tried, and failed, to make a burger that looks like they do in the ad.

 

7. Breaks are a great time to sit down and ask yourself why you work at McDonald’s.

 

8. If its 10 minutes before closing and an entire drunk house party turns up, this is literally all of us behind the counter:

 

9. We have all experienced performance anxiety over creating the perfect soft serve.

 

10. When the register doesn’t add up at the end of the night, this is what it feels like as you get told off.

 

11. Yeah, we know we smell like grease. We’re too tired to really do anything about it at the end of the night, though, so we’ll probably just turn up to your house party like this:

 

12. Literally though that grease doesn’t come off; it has the ability to survive multiple showers with soap.

 

13. We’d only charge people for sauce if they were rude.

 

14. Working at a 24-hour store is literal hell.

 

15. There is a weird divide between McDonald’s workers and McCafé workers.

 

16. If you bring your kids in to eat multiple times a week, we’re probably judging you out the back.

Multiple reports from Chinese news site United Daily News (UDN) have claimed that Apple is moving the release of its upcoming iPhone 6S up from September to August.

Apple's new flagship is rumored to be pushed up a month as a result of an excessive component yield. Of course, this would be a pleasant change of pace for Apple loyalists.

According to the reports, Apple has upped the amount of components ordered by a staggering amount, which could indicate the preparation for an early release.

Rumors of a new handset a month early sound enticing, but there are a few things to bear in mind before you say "au revoir" to your current iPhone. For one, there's a distinct possibility that Apple won't have iOS 9, which is expected to be announced at WWDC next month, tweaked to its liking in time for an August release.
