This company charges even more than Apple for Lightning cables, but they’re worth it

Posted: 13 Apr 2017 01:14 PM PDT

Apple charges $19 for a 3-foot Lightning cable, which is basically highway robbery. We would be shocked if that cable costs Apple even $1 considering the materials and the volume Apple does. Believe it or not, however, there's a third-party Lightning cable out there that costs almost twice what Apple is charging... and it's totally worth it. Check out the Fuse Chicken Titan Lightning Cable, which is practically indestructible and will last you far longer than any iPhone or iPad ever will.

Here are some key details from the product page:

Watch United Airlines passenger David Dao’s news conference live right here

Posted: 13 Apr 2017 11:47 AM PDT

The United Airlines passenger ejection saga is about to take yet another turn as David Dao, the man at the center of it all, is slated to hold a news conference at 10 am CT live from Chicago. The obvious topic at hand will be whether or not Dao will be seeking compensation for the ordeal, and exactly what that compensation will be. The conference will be streamed live online, and you can watch it all unfold right here.

Scheduled to speak are both David Dao's lawyers and his daughter, thought it's unclear if Dao himself will actually be in attendance. As TMZ reports, Dao's lawyers have already gone through the preliminary steps to secure all video and audio recordings related to the incident that may exist, as well as requesting all information related to the airport officers who actually physically removed Dao from his seat and dragged him off the plane. The physical altercation left Dao bloodied and distraught, and the videos of the incident have reached all corners of the internet.

In all likelihood, Dao's lawyers will announce that they will be suing both United Airlines and the City of Chicago for their roles in the events that took place, though their specific requests in terms of monetary compensation may not be made public until a later date. The stream is expected to begin promptly at 10 am CT, and doesn't have a schedule end time, so we'll just have to see how it all plays out.

Nigeria seizes $43 million cash stash in Lagos house

Posted: 13 Apr 2017 10:32 AM PDT

Nigeria's anti-graft agency seized over $43 million in cash during a raid on a Lagos apartment in what it hailed as a victory for President Muhammadu Buhari's war on corruption following a string of setbacks. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said in a statement issued late Wednesday it discovered the "humongous" amount of money in an apartment in Ikoyi, an upscale district of Lagos. "She comes looking haggard, with dirty clothes, but her skin didn't quite match her appearance, perhaps a disguise," said the anonymous source quoted in the EFCC statement.

In abrupt shift, Trump warms to China and NATO, sours on Russia

Posted: 13 Apr 2017 08:46 AM PDT

By Steve Holland and Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters) - After less than three months in office, President Donald Trump has abruptly shifted his stance on an array of foreign policy issues from the U.S. relationship with Russia and China to the value of the NATO alliance. Trump, who ran for the White House on a pledge to shake up the status quo in Washington, repeatedly lashed out at China during the campaign, accusing Beijing of being a "grand champion" of currency manipulation. Candidate Trump also dismissed the NATO military alliance as obsolete and said he hoped to build warmer ties with Russia.

Kim murder suspects appear in Malaysian court

Posted: 13 Apr 2017 06:44 AM PDT

Two women accused of assassinating the half-brother of North Korea's leader appeared in a Malaysian court on Thursday ahead of a murder trial that could see them hanged. Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Doan Thi Huong, 28, from Vietnam, were taken in bulletproof vests to a heavily guarded magistrate's court close to the airport where Kim Jong-Nam was fatally poisoned two months ago. Police accuse the pair of having wiped the banned nerve agent VX on Kim's face at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on February 13 as he was about to board a flight to Macau, where he was living in exile.
