Sean Spicer said Hitler didn't use chemical weapons and the internet schooled him Posted: 11 Apr 2017 02:50 PM PDT White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer apparently skipped WWII day in his high school history class. Spicer found himself at the mercy of the internet (yet again) on Tuesday after he delivered some especially alternative facts during the White House daily press briefing. SEE ALSO: Sean Spicer was once a terrifying White House Easter Bunny While answering a question on the alliance between Russia and Syria, Spicer incorrectly stated that Hitler did not engage in chemical warfare during World War II. "We didn't use chemical weapons in World War II," Spicer said. "You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons." Fact check: The Nazis infamously used chemical weapons during World War II by gassing millions, most of whom were Jewish, in gas chambers mostly located in concentration camps. When called out for the comment, Spicer stumbled his way through a clarification by trying to say that Hitler did use chemical weapons, but in a different way than the recent chemical attack in Syria. He also referred to concentration camps as "Holocaust centers" so, there's that. Here's what the assembled White House reporters thought of his explanation: The two best reactions to listening to @seanspicer try to explain the Holocaust... pic.twitter.com/wmrbhYbqVz — Marcus Gilmer (@marcusgilmer) April 11, 2017 UPDATE: April 11, 2017, 12:23 p.m. PDT Spicer later added a clarification to his clarification. A clarification on his clarification, @PressSec says this: pic.twitter.com/w0wmfFA0Do — Elizabeth Landers (@ElizLanders) April 11, 2017 The internet took it upon itself to school Spicer on his poor choice of words and outright misunderstanding of WWII basics. .@seanspicer "Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons." pic.twitter.com/nDfh68Ukp1 — Selvena Brooks (@SelvenaBrooks31) April 11, 2017 MSNBC with the winning chyron. pic.twitter.com/BxVFpBooVF — Jennifer Bendery (@jbendery) April 11, 2017 Have to comment on this: Sean Spicer: "Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons."

Toshiba will do utmost to avoid Tokyo delisting - CEO Posted: 11 Apr 2017 12:33 PM PDT Japan's Toshiba Corp will make every effort to avoid being delisted by the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), the company's CEO said on Tuesday, after releasing delayed third-quarter results with a disclaimer from its auditor. "The decision on any delisting is for the stock exchange to make," Satoshi Tsunakawa said at a press briefing in Tokyo.

The only Samsung phone more exciting than the Galaxy S8 isn’t as exciting as we thought Posted: 11 Apr 2017 12:13 PM PDT Months of leaks and rumors brought the buzz surrounding Samsung's next-generation Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ to heights no one thought would be possible. In fact, many industry experts thought that the damage last year's Galaxy Note 7 did to Samsung's reputation would take years to mend. As we said last year while the recall was taking place, however, people have remarkably short memories. Now, Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ pre-orders have already outpaced last year's S7 and S7 edge, as Samsung announced on Monday. The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are the two most exciting smartphones Samsung has ever made. In fact, they're the two most exciting smartphones the world has ever seen at this point. But there's another smartphone being developed behind closed doors right now at Samsung that had been rumored to be even more groundbreaking than the edgeless S8 duo. Now, however, a new report suggests that the Galaxy X might not be quite as revolutionary as we thought. Samsung has been hard at work for quite some time on a smartphone with a foldable display. Earlier this year, reports suggested that the company's first foldable phone might go into limited production as soon as sometime in 2017, and the phone might even see a small-scale release sometime this year. Then, a subsequent report suggested that Samsung's foldable phone likely wouldn't be released until 2019 at the earliest. Well, it turns out that both of these reports might be correct. By way of South Korean news site The Investor, a new report from ET News claims that Samsung has placed orders for between 2,000 and 3,000 units of a foldable Galaxy X smartphone to be produced in the first half of the year for testing. That's the good news. The bad news, however, is that the Galaxy X Samsung is building looks absolutely nothing like the foldable phone in the mockup pictured above. In fact, it might feature OLED displays that cannot be folded at all. While the Galaxy X reportedly on order from Samsung can indeed fold completely closed, it actually includes two separate displays connected by a hinge. So, instead of a single OLED panel that folds in half, it's merely a clamshell with two individual screens. In other words, it's not very exciting at all. "Samsung seems to be testing the waters with the dual-screen device to gather ideas about its upcoming foldable phone," an unnamed source in Samsung's supply chain told ET News. Now, the good news is that this prototype Galaxy X that was supposed to be so exciting might still be a groundbreaking single-screen foldable phone if and when it's released. Meanwhile, the 2017 handset that had gadget blogs buzzing earlier this year is apparently just a test bed for Samsung as it continues to play with the idea of a foldable phone.

Toshiba files results unapproved by auditor; warns of 'going concern' risk Posted: 11 Apr 2017 11:36 AM PDT By Makiko Yamazaki and Taiga Uranaka TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp filed twice-delayed business results on Tuesday without an endorsement from its auditor and warned its very survival was in doubt, deepening a prolonged crisis at the Japanese conglomerate. "There are material events and conditions that raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern," Toshiba said in announcing bigger than previously estimated losses for the nine months through December. The filing carried a disclaimer from auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Aarata LLC that it was unable to form an opinion of the results, increasing the likelihood that shares in the nuclear-to-TVs company will be delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).

US strike destroyed 20 percent of Syria's working jets: Mattis Posted: 11 Apr 2017 10:32 AM PDT Last week's US strike on a Syrian air base destroyed a fifth of President Bashar al-Assad's working warplanes, Pentagon chief Jim Mattis said Monday. "The assessment of the Department of Defense is that the strike resulted in the damage or destruction of fuel and ammunition sites, air defense capabilities, and 20 percent of Syria's operational aircraft," Mattis said in a statement. "The Syrian government has lost the ability to refuel or re-arm aircraft at Shayrat airfield and at this point, use of the runway is of idle military interest," he added.

Tillerson heads to Moscow carrying Western call for Russia to abandon Assad Posted: 11 Apr 2017 09:43 AM PDT By Steve Scherer and Andrew Osborn LUCCA, Italy/MOSCOW (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson carried a message from world powers to Moscow on Tuesday denouncing Russian support for Syria's Bashar al-Assad, as the Trump administration took on America's traditional mantle as leader of a unified West. Tillerson flew on the administration's first cabinet mission to Russia after meeting foreign ministers from the Group of Seven advanced economies and Middle Eastern allies in Italy. The administration of President Donald Trump, which came to power in January calling for warmer ties with Russia, was thrust into confrontation with Moscow last week when a poison gas attack in northern Syria killed 87 people.

Mexican ex-governor nabbed in Italy in money laundering probe Posted: 11 Apr 2017 09:09 AM PDT A Mexican former governor has been arrested in Italy for alleged involvement in laundering drug money after a five-year manhunt, the Attorney General's Office said. Tomas Yarrington, who led the northern state of Tamaulipas from 1999-2005 and is being sought by the United States for alleged drug money laundering, was detained on Sunday.

The strike group -- which includes the Nimitz-class aircraft supercarrier USS Carl Vinson -- cancelled a planned trip to Australia this weekend, heading to the Korean peninsula instead in a show of force.
