Donald Trump's chaotic first 100 days summed up in 33 cartoons Posted: 28 Apr 2017 01:14 PM PDT As of Saturday, it will have been 100 days since Donald Trump took oath in the office of President of the United States, and political commentators have for the past week been struggling to put into words their perspectives on a tumultuous three months. At times, the President himself has found it hard to express his own policies and opinions. More than any other topic, Theresa May's overtures to the billionaire tycoon were repeatedly in the cross hairs, as she kowtowed to the billionaire tycoon on both sides of the Atlantic.

U.S. House may vote within days on tighter North Korea sanctions Posted: 28 Apr 2017 12:22 PM PDT By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives could vote as soon as next week on legislation to toughen sanctions on North Korea by targeting its shipping industry and companies that do business with the reclusive state, congressional aides said on Thursday. The legislation, approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee last month, is intended to cut off supplies of cash that help fund North Korea's nuclear program, and increase pressure to stop human rights abuses such as the use of slave labor, the bill's sponsor, Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce, said. It also calls on President Donald Trump's administration to decide whether North Korea is a state sponsor of terrorism. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Qualcomm warns of profit hit as Apple battle intensifies Posted: 28 Apr 2017 10:33 AM PDT (Reuters) - Qualcomm Inc slashed its current-quarter profit and revenue forecasts on Friday, amid an escalating legal battle between the chipmaker and Apple Inc. Apple said it had decided to withhold royalty payments to its contract manufacturers until the dispute is resolved in court. The payments made by Apple to its contract manufacturers are, in turn, owed by the contractors to Qualcomm in royalties, according to the chipmaker's licensing business model. The iPhone maker sued Qualcomm in January, accusing it of overcharging for chips and refusing to pay some $1 billion in promised rebates.

New iPhone 8 leak suggests Apple won’t use the design everyone hates Posted: 28 Apr 2017 09:09 AM PDT We're still more than four months away from seeing Apple unveil its next-generation iPhone 8, but you wouldn't know it. There's already a ton of buzz surrounding Apple's upcoming new iPhones, which will reportedly include three different models this time around. In addition to the completely redesigned iPhone 8, we're also expecting Apple to launch updated iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus models. Interestingly, the updated "S" iPhones this year may feature major hardware updates for the first time ever; Apple typically reuses its iPhone housings for "S" devices, but the iPhone 7s and 7s Plus may get new glass backs to facilitate wireless charging. Of course, no one really cares about the iPhone 7s or iPhone 7s Plus right now. That's right, everyone's attention is focused on the completely redesigned iPhone 8. Apple's new design, however, is a hotly debated topic right now. While nothing is confirmed at this point, it's safe to say the iPhone 8 will in fact sport a new design. Solid sources with very good track records report that the new phone will feature 2.5D glass on the front and back, with a stainless steel mid-frame sandwiched between them. The front will feature a new OLED display with a vastly improved screen-to-body ratio, but things get a little hazy after that. We know with near certainty that, like Samsung, Apple will do away with the iPhone 8's physical home button. According to some leaks, the next-gen iPhone will feature a fingerprint sensor that's embedded beneath the screen. But other leaks suggest Apple will relocate the Touch ID fingerprint scanner to the back of the phone because it won't be able to mass-produce enough iPhones with embedded sensors. A Touch ID scanner on the back of the phone would probably be easier to manufacture, which means Apple would likely have no problem launching the phone in September. The only drawback, of course, would be a massive step backward in terms of user experience. As we recently saw, everyone hates the iPhone 8 design with the fingerprint scanner on the back. The more desirable scenario that has been suggested by leakers is that Apple will indeed embed the Touch ID sensor beneath the iPhone 8's display, but it will delay the phone's release until October or possibly November as it works through manufacturing issues. Having to wait an extra month or two would certainly annoy eager Apple fans, but it's still probably a better option than an iPhone with the fingerprint scanner on the back. Today, a new leak from a reliable source may bring good news. Twitter user KK Sneak Leaks has several genuine leaks under his belt, and on Friday he posted a new photo of a third-party iPhone 8 case. As you can clearly see, there is no opening on this case for a rear-facing fingerprint reader. While there's nothing to say that the design of this case accurately depicts Apple's iPhone 8, this particular Twitter user has well-connected sources. As such, it's entirely possible that we're looking at Apple's final iPhone 8 design. It'll be a while before anything is confirmed, but this new leak could definitely be good news.

Dramatic nuclear attack drills staged near Manhattan as US-North Korea tensions escalate Posted: 28 Apr 2017 08:51 AM PDT Law enforcement officials, first responders, and agencies at all levels of government are running drills to prepare for massive nuclear and terror attacks in two of America's most populous cities. The training comes amid heightened national concerns over the nuclear capabilities of North Korea and following a tense 2016 presidential election season in which terrorism was a frequent point of discussion by Donald Trump. Although the timing of the New York City drills —the nuclear attack simulation was to take place just west of the city in New Jersey — seem particularly topical, officials say that they were preplanned and have nothing to do with the headlines North Korea's missile tests are producing.
