There’s one more reason I could never ditch my iPhone 7 Plus for a Galaxy S8 Posted: 27 Apr 2017 10:39 AM PDT I penned a piece on Wednesday in which I explained the five main reasons I could never switch to the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ from my iPhone 7 Plus. While my in-depth Galaxy S8 review approached Samsung's hot new flagship smartphones from a neutral viewpoint, this new supplemental piece offered a different point of view from me, as an end user. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Samsung has out-designed Apple with its new Galaxy S8, but in this post I covered key areas where Samsung still can't even approach the iPhone. There's one more reason I could never switch to the Galaxy S8 and ditch my iPhone 7 Plus, though, and it's a reason I never thought I would have. I've received more than two dozen emails and a handful of mentions on Twitter since published that opinion piece on Wednesday. Oddly, nearly every single one was from a person nodding in agreement. It's still early days, but I would wager that no Samsung phone released in the past few years has drawn more interest from iPhone users than the new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. It makes sense, of course, because they're stunning. And yet from the messages I've received and the conversations I've had elsewhere, Samsung for the most part isn't actually stealing these users away. Everyone seems to be intrigued by the Galaxy S8, which features an incredible new "Infinity Display" design. The Super AMOLED screens on the S8 takes up an impressive 83% of the phone's face, which is the best screen-to-body ratio the world has ever seen on a widely available smartphone. Coupled with a curved front and back that make the S8 more comfortable and stylish than any other smartphone out there, and you've got yourself a winner. But is it enough to steal away many iPhone users? For me personally, there's simply no chance I could bail on Apple's ecosystem for the Galaxy S8. As I explained in yesterday's post, Apple's iPhone UX is still so much better than Android, it's not even close. The OS is smoother, the third-party apps are superior in design and performance, Apple's Continuity features are fantastic, and the iPhone itself outperforms every Android phone including the Galaxy S8. Add in the iPhone 7 Plus' class-leading battery life and Apple's unrivaled customer support, and you've got an experience that no other phone can match. Not even the Galaxy S8. There's one more reason I am personally locked into the iPhone though, and I think millions of other iPhone users would probably agree. Smartwatches, in general, are awful. They have been awful for years. And when rumors began swirling that Apple was developing its own smartwatch, I figured it too would be awful. I knew the device would be popular, of course, since Apple users are a dedicated bunch. But in terms of features and design, I certainly didn't think the Apple Watch would ever appeal to me. As anyone who has read my earlier Apple Watch coverage surely knows, I sang a different tune the moment I began using one. I'm a lifelong watch lover and collector who thought that there was no way a silly smartwatch could ever replace a mechanical watch on my wrist. Since buying my first Apple Watch shortly after it was released, I have sold almost every watch in my collection. In fact, over the past two years since I started wearing the Apple Watch, I've only gone for two or three days total without having it on my wrist. After testing every big-name Android (and Tizen) smartwatch that has been released over the past few years, I'm hesitant to lump Apple's watch into the same category. Early Android watches were garbage. There's no way around it. More recent offerings are vastly improved, and Samsung's most recent Tizen watch pretty nifty as well. "Nifty" is about as much as I can say for them, sadly. The Apple Watch is far smoother and more streamlined than anything its rivals have managed to cook up. It's also simpler, with a UX that practically anyone can figure out because just about everything makes sense. Simple doesn't mean it lacks features, however, and I rely on Apple Watch features all day long. I have different Apple Watch faces that display different complications, giving me zero-touch access to real-time information. The Dark Sky complication shows me the current weather conditions and alerts me when it's going to rain or snow. The Openfolio complication shows me exactly what my stock portfolio is doing. The Activity complication reminds me that I need to get off my butt and walk some more so I can meet the day's goals. Then, there are a number of third-party apps I rely on as well. For example, the August app lets me unlock my front door with a tap, and the Newton Mail app gives me rich notifications so I can quickly read previews of new emails and then delete or archive them. That last one is key for me because I can get anywhere from 200 to 400 emails in any given day, but the majority of them are messages I don't even need to read beyond the subject line to know I can delete them. With the Apple Watch, I tap one button and an email is deleted without having to pull my phone out of my pocket over and over. There are rival smartwatches that can handle some or even most of the tasks I perform on my Apple Watch, just as there are Android phones that can handle just about everything I do on my iPhone. But it's not the same. After all these years, and after all of the features other companies have copied, Apple still offers user experiences that are leaps and bounds beyond its competitors.

North Korea releases video footage of simulated attack blowing up the White House Posted: 27 Apr 2017 10:24 AM PDT North Korea has released a propaganda film featuring simulated attacks on the White House and US aircraft carriers, amid heightened tensions between the countries. It comes shortly after the US announced that it was sending warships to the Korean peninsula and Donald Trump said a fresh wave of American sanctions would be imposed on the secretive Communist state in an attempt to isolate it economically. The two and a half minute film begins with scenes of North Korea's latest military parade to mark the 105th birthday of late state founder Kim Il-Sung on 15 April where it displayed a range of ballistic missiles.

China welcomes U.S. saying it is open to talks on North Korea Posted: 27 Apr 2017 09:51 AM PDT By Michael Martina and Ju-min Park BEIJING/SEOUL (Reuters) - China on Thursday welcomed an apparently softer tone by the United States on the North Korean nuclear and missile crisis but stressed its opposition to a U.S. missile defence system being deployed in South Korea. Separately, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called on North Korea and other countries on Thursday to avoid behaviour or rhetoric that could increase tensions around Pyongyang's nuclear programme. Speaking at a news conference in Moscow after talks, the two leaders said they had agreed to cooperate closely to try to help defuse tensions around North Korea.

Thai Red Bull heir threatened with arrest after latest no-show Posted: 27 Apr 2017 08:59 AM PDT Thai prosecutors vowed Thursday to seek the first arrest warrant for the heir to the Red Bull fortune after he dodged the latest summons to hear charges over a 2012 hit-and-run in his Ferrari that left a policeman dead. The threat comes after years of public anger over the lack of progress in a case that critics say highlights the impunity enjoyed by Thailand's wealthy and well-connected. Worayuth Yoovidhya, whose nickname is "Boss", was 27 when he allegedly smashed his Ferrari into a police officer in the early hours of the morning, dragging the body for several hundred metres before fleeing the scene of the crash.

Le Pen fishes for worker support as polls narrow in French presidential vote Posted: 27 Apr 2017 08:22 AM PDT By Brian Love and Jean-Paul PELISSIER PARIS/LE GRAU DU ROI (Reuters) - Marine Le Pen took to the sea on Thursday, promising to protect fishing jobs if she beats Emmanuel Macron, her pro-EU, centrist rival whose commanding poll lead has narrowed. As runner-up in last Sunday's opening ballot, Le Pen remains the underdog, but two polls suggested she had made a more impressive start to the last lap of campaigning than Macron. A daily Opinionway poll saw Macron's predicted score dipping to 59 percent for the first time since mid-March. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Fox News hit with racism lawsuit alleging 'plantation-style management' for black employees Posted: 27 Apr 2017 07:28 AM PDT Weeks after firing host Bill O'Reilly amid allegations of sexual harassment, Fox News is under fire once again for accusations of racial discrimination. Eleven current and former Fox News employees have filed a lawsuit alleging that Fox employees engaged in "abhorrent, intolerable, unlawful and hostile racial discrimination" and created a workplace "more akin to Plantation-style management than a modern-day work environment". The case, which started with two former payroll employees, made headlines this week with the addition of former Fox and Friends co-host Kelly Williams.

Hidden Galaxy S8 trick shows Samsung’s newfound attention to detail Posted: 27 Apr 2017 06:50 AM PDT The Galaxy S8 is proof that Samsung is getting better and better at designing smartphones. Gone are the days when Samsung tried to convince buyers that it's perfectly acceptable to build a $600+ smartphone out of plastic. And with the Galaxy S8, it looks like Samsung is paying even closer attention to the little details that users might not even notice during day-to-day use. For a perfect example, look no further than the new virtual home button, which moves ever so slightly on the screen to prevent any damage. Discovered by GalaxyClub, Samsung's home button trick is meant to prevent the burn-in phenomenon that you might experience on an AMOLED display. The longer you display the same image on an OLED screen, the more likely it is for the organic light-emitting diodes to be damaged. As a result, remnants of an image may remain visible as a ghost on the screen even when the diodes stop glowing when the screen is off. Last year, Samsung said that the Always-On Display feature on the Galaxy S7 would not suffer from any burn-in effect because the clock and notifications that are shown on the screen keep changing their positions. Now, the same trick has been applied to the home button on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. You might not notice the movements with the naked eye, but it happens. The home button is visible almost all the time, but the image actually isn't stationary. Instead, it moves ever so slightly, so that different pixels turn on and off. The following set of images shows the home button's slight repositioning. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
