Android 16 has been out for Pixels for a while now, and we're already well on our way to Android 16 QPR1. Thanks to Google's move to Android Canary, we know a fair bit of what's coming with further updates to the Android platform, including Android 17. What we don't know yet is what Android 17 would be called. We asked you what you think Android 17's dessert codename would be, and most of you feel that Google should go with 'Cheesecake' for Android 17. We received about 1900 votes on our survey, and Cheesecake emerged as the top choice for Android 17's dessert codename, getting more than 530 votes for a 28% share. Churro is the runner up, with almost 15% votes, following which we have Crème Brûlée at almost 13%, Caramel Custard at almost 12%, and Cherry Pie at 11%. At the bottom of the table, we have Choco-chip Cookie at almost 8%, and Coffee Cake and Crepe getting 6% each.

The restaurant chain says it has donated nearly $7 million to Feeding America in the past through its featured cheesecake sales. Origins of National Cheesecake Day, Cheesecake Factory According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, National Cheesecake Day was established in 1985. The dessert itself, however, has roots dating back to ancient Greece. In 1972, Evelyn and Oscar Overton moved to Los Angeles and opened the Cheesecake Factory Bakery. They soon began selling Evelyn's cheesecakes to restaurants throughout Los Angeles, according to the restaurant chain's website. Six years later, their son, David, decided to open a restaurant in Beverly Hills to showcase his mother's cheesecakes. That restaurant became the first Cheesecake Factory location.

A viral video featuring a foster puppy's adoption is stealing hearts as his mom shared their heartfelt journey on Instagram. User @simonsits shared the Reel, beautifully capturing the power of unexpected bonding with her rescue, Cheesecake, aka Gus. The foster mom opened up about the story behind the pup's adoption, bracing the audience for a bittersweet narrative. Foster mom's parents end up adopting rescue puppy in viral video The video shows the foster mom narrating the story of her puppy's adoption, a story of compassion and urgency. In a touching voiceover, she recounts her parents meeting Cheesecake. She explains how they immediately felt a connection, saying, 'I don't know if I believe in love at first sight, but I do believe that you can see someone and immediately know that you'll love them one day in some capacity. For my parents, that's exactly how it went with my foster dog Cheesecake.' The foster mom reveals the pup has since been renamed Gus, and muses about the timing. 'Whether you want to call it a gut feeling, or fate, or some sort of magic dispersed in the air that led them to meet this dog at the absolute perfect point in their lives,' she says. She said that 'intangible reasons' resulted in the unexpected adoption. She reminisces about the family's past beloved pets, Ruby and Harper. Their memories created 'aching holes' in their hearts. 'But then, unexpectedly, a new dog comes along,' she rejoices, adding, 'He fits in a space you weren't even aware was empty.' She further reveals how her parents took no time to bond with Gus, believing 'He will be a fitting follow-up to both Ruby and Harper.' Another video by the foster mom reveals how the puppy's 'emaciated' condition led to his urgent adoption. His former owners seemingly abandoned him, leaving him in a critical condition. A third video shows the owner driving to the Animal Care Centers of NYC and picking up the dog, while a fourth clip shows how her parents happily welcomed Gus into their family. The heartwarming Instagram Reels demonstrate the lasting impact of rescuing animals, becoming one of the most resonating adoption stories out there.
