Iraq minister criticises UN efforts for Mosul displaced Posted: 04 Mar 2017 01:09 PM PST An Iraqi minister on Saturday sharply criticised UN efforts to aid civilians fleeing fighting in west Mosul, even as the United Nations insisted that providing such assistance was the "top priority". Tens of thousands of people have fled west Mosul since Iraqi forces launched an operation to retake it from the Islamic State jihadist group on February 19, pushing into the area from the south. "Unfortunately, there is a clear shortfall in the work of these (UN) organisations," said Jassem Mohammed al-Jaff, the minister of displacement and migration.

Clock ticking for N. Ireland rivals after fractious vote Posted: 04 Mar 2017 09:38 AM PST Northern Ireland's main political parties on Saturday were facing a three-week deadline to mend fences after snap elections aimed at sorting out the bad blood between them left them deadlocked. If the pro-British Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Fein, the Irish republican party, cannot agree to form a power-sharing executive -- a cornerstone of peace in Northern Ireland -- then governance of the British province could return to London. In a historic shake-up, the elections saw the DUP lose its absolute majority for the first time, even though it narrowly scraped ahead of a resurgent Sinn Fein.

Birth defects jump twentyfold in Zika-hit mothers: study Posted: 04 Mar 2017 06:43 AM PST Pregnant women infected with the Zika virus last year were 20 times more likely to bear children with birth defects than those who gave birth prior to the epidemic, US health officials said Thursday. Researchers for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compared birth outcomes prior to the Zika epidemic's outbreak in 2015 -- using data from three US state registries -- to those of mothers infected by the virus in 2016. The defects included microcephaly -- a crippling deformation that leads to babies having very small brains and heads -- as well as poor cranial development, neural tube defects and other brain or eye abnormalities.

Google’s Pixel didn’t just copy the iPhone 6 design, it copied a crazy iPhone 4 ‘feature’ as well Posted: 04 Mar 2017 05:48 AM PST It's pretty strange how defensive Android fans get when you make an observation that is beyond obvious to anyone with two eyes. Actually, it's pretty obvious to anyone with one eye, too. The Google Pixel copied Apple's iPhone 6 design. You should've seen the emails and tweets we got after running this post. Seriously, is it even really such a big deal? HTC cloned Apple's iPhone 6, and that phone ended up selling quite well for the struggling smartphone maker. What's funny is that Apple's iPhone 6 is styled in a way that looks very similar to HTC's old HTC One line, though Apple used a much different shape on its devices. Meanwhile, HTC's A-series phones are a spitting image of the iPhone, and the Pixel is pretty much an iPhone 6 with a piece of glass slapped on the back. Now, in a funny and peculiar turn of event, it looks like Google dug much deeper into Apple's pocket than we thought. Not only did the company ape Apple's iPhone 6 design, it also borrowed an old iPhone "feature" that dates all the way back to 2010. Once upon a time, there was a slick new iPhone. It was the first iPhone Apple released with an all glass and metal build, and Apple achieved the feat by utilizing a novel antenna design that placed the antennas on the outside of the phone. It was a brilliant move in theory. In practice, there was one teeny tiny problem: it made the iPhone 4 unusable as a phone for many people. Why? Because holding it with your hand covering a certain part of the antennas would cause signal to drop off. Then-CEO Steve Jobs tried to play it cool at first — remember when he replied to someone complaining about the problem and told hit to "just avoid holding it that way"? — but Apple ended up having to hand out free bumper cases to all iPhone 4 owners so that they provided a barrier between the user's hand and the antennas. Apple then fixed its design on future iPhones so that they were no longer affected. With all that in mind, enjoy this brief video of a "secret hidden feature" on the Google Pixel XL (via Reddit): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxvJCQ6Nj1w This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Ex-Haitian President Preval dies, first to peacefully hand over power Posted: 04 Mar 2017 05:31 AM PST By Makini Brice and Joseph Guyler Delva PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Former Haitian President Rene Preval, 74, the first leader in Haiti's history to win a democratic election, serve a full term and peacefully hand power to a successor, died on Friday after falling unconscious at his home. President Jovenel Moise described Preval as a "dignified son of Haiti," in a statement on Twitter. Haiti has been politically turbulent for much of its history since winning independence from France in 1804, punctuated by dictatorships, coups, invasions and natural disasters.
