Hot Chelle Rae isn't a household name yet, but it's not for want of trying. The rockin' Nashville four-piece, best known for multi-platinum singles "Tonight Tonight" and "I Like It Like That," off their sophomore album "Whatever" (which guaranteed them a Best New Artist win in 2011), have toured with some of the biggest artists, from Demi Lovato to Taylor Swift. They're currently playing to tens of thousands of fans a night on the Justin Bieber "Believe Tour," which kicked off last month. But they have yet to go on a major headlining tour, themselves.

Band on the rise: Hot Chelle Rae (with Overstreet left)

With "Hung Up" cracking the top 40 and their next full-length almost complete, Hot Chelle Rae hopes the third album's the charm. Download.com caught up with lead guitarist Nash Overstreet to chat about the Believe Tour (which runs through Aug. 5), apps he's most hung up on, posting photos of Justin Bieber on Instagram, and finding out about "Glee" star Cory Monteith's death over text and Google.

How has the "Believe Tour" been going so far? We started on the 22nd of June and we've been on I don't know how many shows. It's been crazy.

Security researcher Barnaby Jack demonstrates how he bypassed the security of two ATMs.

The computer-security community is in mourning following news that superstar hacker Barnaby Jack died on Thursday. The San Francisco resident was 35 years old.

He rose to prominence beyond the hacker community in 2010 when he demonstrated what he called "jackpotting" an ATM. He dragged two ATMs on-stage in front of a rapt audience, and then forced them to spew fake cash into the air.

When managing a personal or community page on Google+, you may become curious if the people you follow are also following you back. As an avid Google+ user, I've seen people complain about the asynchronous following method, while others sing its praises. However, if you're really trying to do some self- or brand-promotion, you probably want to know when followers lose their interest.

Circloscope is an extension for Google Chrome that allows you to quickly see who isn't following you back on Google+. It's very similar to the countless tools that show you unfollows on Twitter, except it doesn't report them to you every time it happens -- you have to check it on your own time. While this may seem less convenient, it can also b... [Read more]
