The wall around Donald Trump’s taxes cracks, a little Posted: 14 Mar 2017 07:19 PM PDT One of the most closely guarded secrets in politics — Donald Trump's income taxes — became a little bit less mysterious late Tuesday as prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston and MSNBC published a partial copy of the president's 2005 federal filing. The documents, whose publication drew howls of outrage from the White House, did not include the most important financial data that might be collected from Trump's full returns, including the sources of his income, his partners, to whom he paid interest, and other relationships that might feed concerns that he faces unprecedented conflicts of interest. The documents — just two pages of his filing — showed Trump would personally have paid about $5.3 million in federal taxes on income of over $150 million, after a write-down of about $103 million.

Galaxy S8 vs. iPhone 7 Plus: Hands-on video with S8 mockup shows how they compare Posted: 15 Mar 2017 07:56 AM PDT Apple's iPhone 7 Plus features a screen that measures 5.5 inches diagonally. While nothing is set in stone at this point, multiple reports from reliable sources suggest that the Galaxy S8 — the smaller of the two flagship phones set to be unveiled by Samsung two weeks from today — sports a display that measures 5.8 inches diagonally. On paper, it seems like these two smartphones should be relatively similar in size, no? Well, as we can see in a new hands-on comparison video, Samsung's bold new Galaxy S8 design is even more impressive than we thought when you line it up next to Apple's flagship phablet. With the Galaxy S8, Samsung has managed to stuff a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display into a smartphone that is barely bigger than Apple's 4.7-inch iPhone 7. It's one thing to read those words, but it's another thing entirely to see the smaller of Samsung's two new Galaxy S8 phones lined up next to its stiffest competition. Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ flagship phones feature a bold new design that does away with the oblong home button beneath the displays and narrows the bezels above and below the screens substantially. As a result, the company is able to fit a very large screen into a phone with an overall footprint that isn't much bigger than the screen itself. How does that play out in the real world? The video below comes courtesy of YouTuber KK Sneak Leaks, and it shows what is believed to be a perfectly sized mockup of the Galaxy S8 created using accurate schematics leaked by the factories building Samsung's new flagship phone. In the video, the narrator shows the phone next to Apple's iPhone 7 Plus, which features a display that measures 5.5 inches compared to the 5.8-inch screen on the Galaxy S8. At around the 4:14 mark, you can see how the two phones compare in overall size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlss7pjB7Sg Again, the Galaxy S8 shown in the video is not a genuine handset. Instead, it is a mockup that is believed to have been built exactly to scale. With that in mind, it's pretty incredible to see just how much smaller Samsung's Galaxy S8 is, with it's 5.8-inch display, than the iPhone 7 Plus and its smaller 5.5-inch screen. And of course, if you want to see a real Galaxy S8 in action for comparison, you can always check out the exclusive Galaxy S8 photos we published earlier this month. Meanwhile, the larger Galaxy S8+ Plus is expected to cram a massive 6.2-inch display into a phone that is roughly the same size as the iPhone 7 Plus. You can see size comparisons of those two phones in this post.

Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific sees first loss in 8 years Posted: 15 Mar 2017 03:35 AM PDT Hong Kong's troubled flagship airline Cathay Pacific on Wednesday posted its first annual loss since the height of the financial crisis as it was hit by "intense competition" and a drop in demand from business travellers. Companies like China Eastern and China Southern Airlines are offering direct services to Europe and the United States from the mainland, while budget carriers like Spring Airlines offer regional routes, undermining Cathay's once critical Hong Kong hub. Analysts said other established Asian operators were similarly suffering from increased competition, but believed Cathay's major fuel-hedging losses put it in an even weaker position.

Apple found guilty of iPhone price-fixing scheme in Russia Posted: 14 Mar 2017 04:14 PM PDT This past August, Russia's Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (FAS) said that Apple may have orchestrated a price-fixing scheme in the country via its network of Apple authorized resellers, an allegation Apple vehemently denied. "Resellers set their own prices for the Apple products they sell in Russia and around the world," Apple said at the time. Now, seven months later, Russia's FAS has found Apple guilty of price-fixing the retail price of iPhones in the country. Per the Financial Times, Apple told upwards of 16 resellers that they couldn't sell various iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 models below a certain price. To this point, the FAS' investigation found that all Apple resellers just so happened to initiate the same pricing structure across multiple iPhone models at launch. A translated FAS statement on the matter reads in part: The investigation revealed that from the start of official sales in Russia Apple iPhone 5s models, iPhone 5c, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus the majority of resellers have installed on them the same prices that are recommended of "Apple Rus", and supported them for about 3 months. The FAS further claims that resellers not willing to cooperate with Apple's iPhone pricing matrix risked losing their partnership with the Cupertino-based company. Notably, the investigation found no evidence of price fixing with respect to the iPhone 7. Apple hasn't yet issued a statement on the ruling but the company reportedly has three months to file a formal defense on the matter. If Apple's appeal falls flat, the company may be subject to fines equal to 15% of iPhone sales in the country. As a final point, it's worth noting that Apple cooperated with the FAS investigation and has reportedly enacted new guidelines to prevent the alleged price fixing behavior from happening again in the future.

New navigation app has an awesome feature I’ve always wanted in Google Maps Posted: 15 Mar 2017 07:02 PM PDT Google is constantly adding great new features to Google Maps, but there's still plenty that it can't do. For example, if you want to follow a friend or family member to a location you haven't previously visited, you can't take a joint road trip with Google Maps, which is why you might want to try out Follow instead. Follow is a new, free navigation app for iOS and Android that allows drivers to take on the role of "leader" or "follower." The app constantly keeps track of the leader, which means the followers will never have to risk running a red light to catch up or placing a phone call to find out which turn the leader took. "Road trips are not the only use for the Follow app," says Follow CEO Anthony Lucido in a press release. "During our testing we have had real estate brokers using the app with their clients and pizza parlor owners using it to track their drivers. We've even had a bridal party use it to make sure everyone got to the reception location without a hitch." In order to ensure that everyone in the group is on the same page at all times, Follow pings the location of the leader and the followers three times a second. In other words, no matter how fast you're traveling, you'll never lose track of another driver. Follow also notes that drivers can turn off tracking at any time, so you won't have to worry about your privacy being invaded when the trip is over. Follow is free to download on the App Store and Google Play. The free version only allows leaders to connect with one follower, but you can upgrade to the PRO version for $0.99 to have unlimited followers.

Plaintiffs in U.S. lawsuit say Monsanto ghostwrote Roundup studies Posted: 14 Mar 2017 05:24 PM PDT Employees of Monsanto Co ghostwrote scientific reports that U.S. regulators relied on to determine that a chemical in its Roundup weed killer does not cause cancer, farmers and others suing the company claimed in court filings. The documents, which were made public on Tuesday, are part of a mass litigation in federal court in San Francisco claiming Monsanto failed to warn that exposure to Roundup could cause non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of cancer. Plaintiffs claim that Monsanto's toxicology manager ghostwrote parts of a scientific report in 2013 that was published under the names of several academic scientists, and his boss ghostwrote parts of another in 2000.
