| ‘I don’t even know where the satire begins’: Rep. Quigley bewildered by White House defense of wiretapping assertion Posted: 14 Mar 2017 07:14 AM PDT  Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., slammed White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday, comparing the daily media briefing and its defenses of President Trump to self-parody. The comment was in reference to Monday's press briefing, in which Spicer attempted to clarify Trump's evidence-free allegation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped the phones in Trump Tower prior to the election. Quigley, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, rejected this defense, saying, "These are extraordinarily serious allegations about the former president and our entire system.

| France's scandal-hit Fillon put under formal fraud investigation Posted: 14 Mar 2017 09:05 AM PDT ![France's scandal-hit Fillon put under formal fraud investigation]( "France's scandal-hit Fillon put under formal fraud investigation") By Brian Love and Simon Carraud PARIS (Reuters) - French presidential candidate Francois Fillon was put under formal investigation by magistrates on Tuesday on suspicion of embezzling state funds - a move that may ruin the right-winger's hopes of winning power in May. Fillon's campaign has been dogged by allegations he lavishly paid his British wife Penelope and two of his children hundreds of thousands of euros of public money for assistance, but he has refused to pull out of the presidential race. The former prime minister had been due to meet investigators on Wednesday but, in a surprise move, the meeting was brought forward by 24 hours - apparently to spare Fillon the full glare of the media. The 63-year-old conservative candidate was put under formal investigation on suspicion of diverting public funds, complicity in misappropriating funds, receiving the funds and not declaring assets fully, a judicial source said.

| Google is trying really hard to make a smart jacket you won’t totally hate Posted: 13 Mar 2017 09:14 PM PDT 
If you're not tired of hearing the word "smart" in front of random appliances, furniture, and pieces of clothing, Google has a hot pitch for you. It's a smart jacket from Levi's and it uses Google's smart textiles platform that goes by the nickname "Project Jacquard." It's being shown off this week at SXSW, but even if you saw the jacket being worn by a fellow festival-goer, there's a really good chance you wouldn't even realize it.
Without a bunch of goofy screens or flashing LEDs, Levi's Jacquard jacket doesn't give the outward appearance of being a gadget at all, and that's kind of the point, at least in Levi's eyes. At a panel at SXSW, Google's Ivan Poupyrev suggested that the company's original vision for the smart apparel included a display of some kind. Levi's VP of global innovation Paul Dillinger shot down that idea and insisted the tech be integrated into parts of the jacket that already exist naturally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grKHwQIaiaA The result is a fabric touch interface that can't be seen, but still allows the wearer to control various functions of a synced device like a smartphone. Swiping across the sensitive area of the jacket, located near the wrist, lets you skip songs and answer callsA small USB device plugs into the jacket to provide its smart functionality and can be removed so that the garment can be laundered. It's an interesting — and from various hands-on reports, adequately functional — implementation of touch technology, but its usefulness is obviously a big question mark. Swiping at your wrist to control your phone is essentially what you do with a smartwatch already, and given that you won't conceivably be wearing a jacket all day long, it seems like a very small niche to try to exploit.

| These new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ photo leaks are the best ones yet Posted: 13 Mar 2017 07:26 AM PDT 
In exactly two weeks and two days, Samsung will unveil its next-generation flagship Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones and put an end to all the mystery. Well, to be fair, there really isn't very much mystery left at this point. Back in early March, BGR exclusively published the first live photos of a Galaxy S8 that was confirmed to be genuine, and we opened the floodgates for a flurry of leaks that have now left precious little to the imagination. Thanks to this unending stream of leaks and reports from solid sources, we now know just about everything there is to know about Samsung's upcoming new flagship phones. Of course, as exciting as the new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are, and as gorgeous as they look in all the leaked photos, it can never hurt to take another gander. So, on Monday morning, we've got another series of leaked photos for you to check out, and this time they include a great shot of the S8 lined up next to the S8+ with both devices turned on, so we can really get a good idea of how the two models compare. If everything pans out the way we expect it to, Samsung's upcoming new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will be the most impressive smartphones ever made... by a very wide margin. The phones are expected to be the first that will be powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 835 processor in the US or by a comparable Samsung Exynos chipset abroad, and they'll have 4GB of the latest RAM to help keep things running smoothly. We're also expecting better cameras, better battery life and plenty more, but the star of the show has to be Samsung's bold new design. Samsung has eliminated the oblong home button from its previous-generation Galaxy S models in order to help narrow the bezels above and below the display. In doing so, the company has taken us closer than ever to realizing the all-screen smartphone design of our dreams. The Galaxy S8 will reportedly feature a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display crammed into a smartphone that isn't much bigger than Apple's 4.7-inch iPhone 7, and the Galaxy S8+ will stuff a massive 6.2-inch screen into a smartphone about the same size as the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus. Here they are together, as posted in a recent leak on Weibo (via Slashleaks): 
As you can see, especially on the white Galaxy S8, the bezels have been narrowed on all sides of the display and the result is simply stunning. The right and left sides of both new Galaxy S models still curve downward as they have on several earlier smartphones from Samsung, which will make these handsets even more comfortable to hold. Another leak from Weibo (also via Slashleaks) gives us a closer look at the smaller Galaxy S8 in gold: 
And in one final new leak from Monday morning, SamMobile has posted a photo of what is said to be the battery from the upcoming Galaxy S8+. It's unclear exactly where the image came from since the Samsung news blog decided not to post a link to the original source, but it appears to have been dug up on Weibo like the rest of these photos. 
Samsung will unveil both the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ at a special press conference in New York City on March 29th, and the phones are expected to be released next month on either April 21st or April 28th.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based war monitor, said most of those killed in the attack were Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim pilgrims who were going to visit a cemetery near the Old City of Damascus.

| Turkey targets Dutch with diplomatic sanctions as 'Nazi' row escalates Posted: 13 Mar 2017 02:48 PM PDT ![Turkey targets Dutch with diplomatic sanctions as 'Nazi' row escalates]( "Turkey targets Dutch with diplomatic sanctions as 'Nazi' row escalates") By Tuvan Gumrukcu and Tulay Karadeniz ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey said on Monday it would suspend high-level diplomatic relations with the Netherlands after Dutch authorities prevented its ministers from speaking at rallies of expatriate Turks, deepening the row between the two NATO allies. The sanctions - which include a ban on the Dutch ambassador and diplomatic flights from the Netherlands but do not appear to include economic measures or travel restrictions for ordinary citizens - mark another low point in relations between Turkey and the European Union, which it still officially aims to join. President Tayyip Erdogan, who is seeking Turkish voters' support in an April 16 referendum on boosting his powers as head of state, has previously accused the Dutch government of acting like "Nazi remnants" for barring his ministers from addressing expatriate Turks to drum up votes.
