Bush, and Donald Trump in an informal capacity. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Apple’s iPhone 8 will basically bring back the headphone jack Posted: 18 May 2017 11:42 AM PDT Rumors surrounding Apple's upcoming iPhone 8 have been swirling for months now, and it seems like most of the major bases have been covered. The tenth-anniversary iPhone will seemingly sport a bold new design with glass panels on the front and back, and a stainless steel mid-frame sandwiched between them. There will not be a physical home button on the front of the phone. Instead, the display will barely have any bezel around it, and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner will be embedded beneath the display itself. There are some other rumors that cover additional new features, such as a vertically oriented dual-lens rear camera that enables new augmented reality features. There will also apparently be a front-facing 3D camera for facial recognition and 3D scanning. Well, there's another new feature coming to the iPhone 8 that will address people's biggest complaint surrounding last year's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. That's right, the headphone jack will make its triumphant return to the iPhone this year. Well, sort of. Some people went completely crazy when they learned that Apple was ditching the 3.5mm audio jack on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Sure it's a dedicated legacy port, as Apple explained when it unveiled the phones, but hundreds of millions of people around the world still use it each and every day. To accommodate those people, Apple included a 3.5mm to Lightning adapter with every iPhone 7 and 7 Plus that would allow users to connect legacy headphones. That's all well and good, but there's one glaring omission with Apple's solution: People still had no way to charge their phones and listen to music through wired headphones at the same time. There are plenty of third-party adapters that allow people to connect a Lightning charger and 3.5mm headphones at the same time, but people have had mixed experiences using them. The bottom line, however, is that you shouldn't need a third-party accessory to listen to music and charge your iPhone at the same time… especially when some iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models don't work properly with wireless headphones. In 2017, Apple will finally offer a real solution to this problem. That's right, the iPhone 8 is bringing back the headphone jack. No, it won't be a 3.5mm headphone jack and you'll still need an adapter if you want to connect 3.5mm headphones to your iPhone. As we saw in the iPhone 8 mockup photos we exclusively published on Wednesday, the Lightning port is still the only port on the bottom of the phone. But the new iPhone's Lightning port will always be free and clear, waiting for users to connect their headphones even while the phone is charging. How is that going to work? Simple: Apple's next-generation iPhone will finally support wireless charging. Like the Galaxy S8 and countless other Android phones that have been released over the past few years, Apple's next-generation iPhones are expected to support wireless charging. While nothing is confirmed, the news comes from multiple independent reports from sources with solid track records. Since wireless chargers work simply by placing the device on a charging pad (or by clipping it in a wireless charging cradle while driving in your car), the Lightning port will be free and clear for users to connect Lightning headphones, or to connect the included Lightning to 3.5 mm headphone jack adapter to connect standard headphones or an aux cable. Wireless headphones are the future. We all know this, and sales of wireless headphones are skyrocketing. If you're stuck in the past, however, you'll no longer have any problem listening to music while charging your phone beginning with this year's new iPhone models.

The internet points out the many, many politicians who've had it worse than Donald Trump Posted: 18 May 2017 08:29 AM PDT Donald Trump has it bad. Nobody has it worse. Terrible. And he wants new graduates to know it. "Look at the way I've been treated lately, especially by the media," Trump said in a commencement speech at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut on Wednesday. "No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly." No politician in history. Please don't fact check that.  "Look at the way I've been treated...

Sure, his team knew Michael Flynn was a paid lobbyist for Turkey when he was made national security adviser, and also he reportedly disclosed highly classified information to the Russians, and he nominated a man with a brutal authoritarian streak to serve in the Department of Homeland Security, but we all make mistakes.  Plus, that news is from the ancient past, as in the last two days. President Trump, and I say this with great surety, won't do anything like that again until probably at this very moment in time, right now.  WATCH: If this alarm clock doesn't get you out of bed nothing will This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

A look back at Robert Mueller Posted: 18 May 2017 06:36 AM PDT Robert Swan Mueller III, 72, who was just named special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the presidential election, is a jut-jawed former Marine with a bone-dry wit who retains traces of his Main Line Pennsylvania upbringing. At the Justice Department he was known as Bobby Three Sticks, a playful allusion to his patrician name, and, some say, to the three-fingered Boy Scout salute. He started as FBI director a week before 9/11, and oversaw the remaking of the bureau into an intelligence and counter-terrorism organization, charged with preventing new attacks as well as arresting the perpetrators.
