Today on Yahoo! News, Adriana Diaz posted a little article and video for their "Trending Now" newscast. This "Trending Now" focuses first on a California man named Joshua Kaufman. After his laptop was stolen, he used the computer app Hidden to take pictures of the thief by using the computer's webcam. He then proceeded to post these pictures on a Tumblr that he created titled, "This Guy Has My MacBook." As a result, the Oakland police looked into the case, and arrested the thief.

Diaz goes on to mention that June is LGBT Pride Month, and that today saw the legalizing of same-sex civil unions in Illinois. Also, Old Navy is doing their part in raising awareness and funds by selling gay pride t-shirts. Part of their profits are going to go toward a gay support campaign known as It Gets Better.

Finally, Diaz finishes up "Trending Now" by discussing the newest in celebrity rumors. Apparently there had been a fake report stating that the late rapper Tupac Shakur was alive and well in New Zealand. Also, Twitter started producing a different rumor claiming that actor Will Smith had died in New Zealand. This rumor was apparently started by a website that creates fake stories about celebrities. The website, fakeawish.com, was also responsible for rumors stating that The Rock, Jackie Chan, and Justin Bieber were dead, when in reality, they are all alive.
