Clashes at Venezuela protest against 'dictatorship' Posted: 06 Apr 2017 02:34 PM PDT Violence erupted for a third straight day at protests against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Thursday, escalating tension over moves to keep the leftist leader in power. Opposition protesters chanting "No more dictatorship!" hurled stones at National Guard riot police who blocked them from marching on central Caracas. The police responded with tear gas and water cannon, prompting chaos on the eight-lane highway where some 5,000 protesters had tried to break through army barricades.

This is your last chance to get T-Mobile’s best promo for free Posted: 06 Apr 2017 01:58 PM PDT The T-Mobile One plan is already a decent deal, offering (mostly) unlimited data, free roaming and unlimited talk for $70, taxes and fees included. But if you want to stream in HD or use 4G data to tether your laptop, you'll need the One Plus plan, which is normally an extra add-on. Right now, thanks to T-Mobile's ongoing flame war with Verizon, the One Plus plan is a free upgrade for any customers on the regular T-Mobile One plan. Just head to your T-Mobile account online or through the app, select the One Plus promo, and you'll have all the benefits of One Plus for free. But you'd better hurry, because the freebie runs out tomorrow. We already knew that the One Plus promo was a "limited time opportunity," but now we have a date: April 7th. Sometime tomorrow, the promo will end, and you'll be stuck with SD video and slow tethering. A fate worse than death (or Comcast). The end of the promo is a real blow for T-Mobile's competitiveness. Verizon and AT&T both offer comparable "unlimited" data plans for virtually the same price these days, but Verizon's network still has the edge in coverage over T-Mobile. Sure, T-Mobile still has some perks like cheaper roaming, taxes included, and the T-Mobile Tuesday promo; but if you prize rock-solid coverage (and 4G mobile tethering) over those, then T-Mobile just slipped down in the rankings.

Samsung is already increasing Galaxy S8+ production Posted: 06 Apr 2017 01:23 PM PDT The Galaxy Note 7 ended up being a nightmare for Samsung last year when battery fires caused the company to recall and discontinue the device. But this year, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have been nothing short of a dream so far for Samsung. Leaks and rumors stirred up tons of buzz ahead of the new flagship phones' unveiling last month, and early hands-on Galaxy S8 previews have been nothing short of glowing. Now, for a little extra icing on top of an already well-decorated cake, a new report suggests that demand for Samsung's higher-priced Galaxy S8+ is even better than expected, so Samsung is cranking up production to meet increased demand. Samsung's actual BOM and margins on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will likely never be known by anyone outside the company. In general, however, companies tend to enjoy bigger margins on pricier phablets. For that reason, the better-than-expected demand for Samsung's larger Galaxy S8+ has surely come as great news for the company, which is expecting record sales of its new flagship smartphones. A report from South Korean site The Investor states that Samsung had initially planned on a 60/40 sales split, where 60% of all new Galaxy S phones would be smaller Galaxy S8 models, while 40% would be larger Galaxy S8+ models. Now that preorders are underway and Samsung is getting a better idea of demand, the company has reportedly bumped up the Galaxy S8+ to 45% of total production as opposed to 40%. The Galaxy S8+ has a bigger housing, a bigger display, a bigger battery and more glass than the smaller model, but those additions likely cost the company less than the $100 premium it's charging over the $750 price of the smaller Galaxy S8. Samsung might not have had the most festive Christmas last year thanks to the Note 7, but it looks like Christmas is coming early in 2017.

One in 10 US women with Zika had deformed fetus or baby Posted: 06 Apr 2017 11:57 AM PDT About one in 10 women in the United States who were infected with Zika virus while pregnant had a fetus or baby with deformities last year, US government scientists said Tuesday. The study released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tracked 250 pregnant women who had confirmed Zika infection in 2016. Twenty-four of these women either had a fetus or baby with defects, said the CDC Vital Signs report, the first research of its kind to be released since the mosquito-borne virus made its way into the United States last year.

Venezuela opposition targets judges over 'coup' Posted: 06 Apr 2017 11:40 AM PDT Venezuelan opposition lawmakers launched efforts Wednesday to fire judges whom they accuse of mounting a judicial "coup" to keep socialist President Nicolas Maduro in power. The center-right opposition accused the judges of attempting a "coup d'etat" last week.

Trump ally in Congress steps aside as Russia probe leader Posted: 06 Apr 2017 11:07 AM PDT The Republican leader of the House investigation into Russian interference in the US election stepped aside Thursday after being criticized for compromising the probe in visits to the White House. Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, had sought to turn the investigation away from Russia and toward President Donald Trump's allegations that the previous Obama administration had abused its powers by spying on Trump and his advisors. Rancor over this, and over Nunes's sharing top secret intelligence reports with Trump but not members of his own committee, had driven the committee's probe to a halt.

Angry Ford mechanic emerges as French debate star Posted: 06 Apr 2017 10:50 AM PDT France's latest celebrated underdog is Philippe Poutou, a Ford factory worker and head of an anti-capitalist party who became one of the stars of the second presidential debate. Poutou, a balding 50-year-old wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt who slouched over his lectern for parts of the three-hour televised exchange, signalled his intent with his opening remarks. "Aside from (communist candidate) Natalie Arthaud, I think I'm the only person standing at these lecterns to have a normal profession, a normal job," said the mechanic from southwest Bordeaux.

Duterte orders Philippine troops to South China Sea reefs Posted: 06 Apr 2017 08:43 AM PDT Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Thursday he has ordered troops to deploy on unoccupied South China Sea islands, boosting the military presence on remote reefs claimed by Manila in a move that could provoke rival claimants including Beijing. China asserts sovereignty over almost all of the resource-rich South China Sea despite rival claims from Southeast Asian neighbours and has rapidly built reefs into artificial islands capable of hosting military planes. Duterte has previously sought to improve his nation's relations with Beijing by adopting a non-confrontational approach over their competing claims in the strategically vital waters.

Watch dolphins learning how to eat octopus without killing themselves Posted: 06 Apr 2017 07:24 AM PDT As far as personality goes, bottlenose dolphins are one of the more charming species to inhabit our oceans. They're also extremely intelligent, brutal hunters that have no problem bloodying up their prey while capturing a tasty meal. In Australia, octopus is a dolphin delicacy, but it's also a very, very dangerous food source due to the cephalopod's ability fight even after it's been bitten and pulled limb-from-limb. Now, scientists have amassed enough video evidence of dolphins dealing with their crafty prey that they believe a very specific hunting technique is being passed down and shared within the dolphin community. For dolphins, the problem with munching on the many-armed critters is that actually killing an octopus doesn't mean it can't still kill you. The nervous system of an octopus allows its tentacles to continue to fight with its powerful suction cups that can block a dolphin's breathing. Indeed, scientists have found dead dolphins with bits of octopus still clogged in their airways, and that's a big price to pay for a meal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QIZPG-FxI4 The team of scientists from the Marine Mammal Science group at Murdoch University have identified the specific techniques dolphins are now using to prevent their food from getting the better of them. These actions include violently whipping the octopus against the surface of the water in order to tear and disable it, as well as literally throwing the injured prey into the air so that it hits the water and further incapacitates it. The researchers have also observed younger dolphins picking up the octopus-slaying technique from older members of their groups, and carrying on the knowledge for the future.

Philippines' Duterte orders occupation of uninhabited isles in disputed sea Posted: 06 Apr 2017 07:05 AM PDT By Manuel Mogato MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday ordered the occupation of uninhabited islands and shoals it claims in the disputed South China Sea, asserting Philippine sovereignty in an apparent change of tack. The firebrand leader, who on the campaign trail joked that he would jet ski to a Chinese man-made island in the South China Sea to reinforce Manila's claim, also said he may visit a Philippine-controlled island to raise the national flag. "The unoccupied, which are ours, let's live on it," Duterte told reporters during a visit to a military base in Palawan, near the disputed waters.
