Timeline: The evolution of Trump’s travel ban Posted: 06 Mar 2017 09:44 AM PST Monday morning the White House rolled out the latest version of President Trump's immigration policy, with the president signing the revised executive order. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly detailed the revised language, which limited immigration from six majority-Muslim countries and dropped the exception carved out for religious minorities, which was seen by opponents as representing an unconstitutional form of religious discrimination. The lineage of the order can be traced back to 2015 and the Republican primary, where in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting, then-candidate Trump called for temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States. |
Four drug suspects killed as Philippine police resume drugs war operations Posted: 06 Mar 2017 09:59 PM PST Philippine police killed four suspected drug dealers in three separate incidents on Tuesday, a provincial police commander said, just hours after a relaunch of anti-drugs operations that the national police chief said he hoped would be "less bloody". The incidents were the first reported deaths of drug suspects since Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald dela Rosa announced the restart of operations he hoped would be less bloody "or even bloodless". |

China's ZTE pleads guilty, settles with U.S. over Iran, North Korea sales Posted: 07 Mar 2017 08:57 AM PST By Karen Freifeld NEW YORK (Reuters) - Chinese telecom equipment maker ZTE Corp will plead guilty and pay $892 million to settle allegations it violated U.S. laws that restrict the sale of American-made technology to Iran and North Korea, the company and U.S. government agencies said on Tuesday. ZTE entered into an agreement to plead guilty to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, obstruction of justice and making a material false statement, the U.S. Justice Department said. The settlement was made with Justice, the U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Department of Treasury. |

First report on the Galaxy Note 8 suggests Samsung is going big Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:42 PM PST "Galaxy Note" has become a dirty phrase associated with fire and disappointment in the last few months, so it's easy to forget that the Note series used to be Samsung's flagship. Before it started spontaneously combusting, reviews fawned over the Note 7's non-flammable design and features like the iris sensor. So obviously, Samsung is going to want to get its reputation back with the next Note device, set to land later this year. With a launch not expected until October, we don't have much by the way of leaks yet, but what we do have looks good.
A report from SamMobile claims that the in-house codename for the Galaxy Note 8 is "Great." That's a good sign for things to come, unless Samsung is trying some kind of Jedi mind trick to confuse the world's tech bloggers. The Galaxy Note 8 is going to have a tough time this year, as it will likely be debuting right after the iPhone 8. Apple is expected to go all-in this year with a new iPhone 8 model as well as incremental upgrades to the existing lineup with the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus. The iPhone 8 is likely to feature a 5.8-inch OLED display with minimal bezel, a fingerprint sensor built into the screen, and the possibility of an Apple Pencil-like stylus. That makes the iPhone 8 a direct competitor to what has previously been easy Note sales, thanks to the big screen that the Note devices are famous for. Even worse for the Note 8, SamMobile is also reporting that we might see a refurbished Note 7 launched in South Korea. That's good news for the environment, as it means the Note 7 might end up as more than just landfill, but it's not exactly going to do wonders for Note 8 sales. |

Jackson Heights’ Muslim enclave in the New York City melting pot Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:19 AM PST Soon after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president — and his plan for a ban on travel by Muslims to the United States — in 2015, award-winning photojournalist Yunghi Kim set out to explore the Jackson Heights neighborhood in Queens, N.Y. Jackson Heights is one of many multinational neighborhoods in New York City. Hispanics account for most of its population, but there are also many Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, harmoniously woven into the fabric of this bustling community. |
House Republicans unveil Obamacare replacement bill Posted: 06 Mar 2017 05:35 PM PST House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., opens a joint session of the U.S. Congress on Feb. 28, 2017, in the U.S. Capitol, before President Trump's address. WASHINGTON — House Republicans released their replacement for the Affordable Care Act on Monday night, backing off some ideas that caused controversy in their caucus, such as taxing high-dollar health benefits that employees obtain through their employers. The bill, which Republicans will continue to revise in committee, repeals Obamacare's individual mandate. |

Facebook case brought by Syrian refugee in Germany heads to verdict Posted: 06 Mar 2017 06:22 PM PST A German court was due to rule Tuesday on a dispute between Facebook and a Syrian refugee whose post of a selfie with Chancellor Angela Merkel fuelled fake news linking him to terrorism. Online trolls have repeatedly posted doctored images and wrongful statements that accuse 19-year-old Anas Modamani of having committed Islamist attacks or violent crimes, including setting fire to a homeless man in Berlin last Christmas. Modamani wants the US social media giant, represented by Facebook Ireland Limited, to stop the spread of such defamatory posts, which have been shared countless times. |

Five questions on North Korea's missile programme Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:31 AM PST North Korea launched four missiles on Monday, three of them landing in Japan's exclusive economic zone -- waters extending 200 nautical miles (370 kilometres) from its coast -- drawing strong protests from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Here are five questions on the North's missile and nuclear weapons programme, which it insists are for defensive purposes. Analysts say the latest missile launch is likely an act of protest against annual joint military drills by Seoul and Washington, and a renewed challenge to the US news administration. |

Fan-made iPhone 8 imagines how iOS 11’s new ‘Function Bar’ might work Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:51 AM PST Apple's iPhone 8 release date might still be more than six months away, but you wouldn't know it to look at all the chatter around the web right now. New reports claiming to reveal details about Apple's upcoming iPhone 8 emerge each and every day, and they continue to paint an increasingly clear picture of Apple's next-generation flagship iPhone. Increasingly clear, yes, but there's still a very long way to go before we know exactly what to expect from Apple's tenth-anniversary iPhone. In the meantime, people continue to image what might be in store from Apple based on the rumblings we've heard thus far. Based on what we've learned from insiders with impressive track records like KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 8 will feature an exciting new design that pack a large 5.8-inch OLED display into a compact housing that is roughly the same size as Apple's smaller iPhone 7. How will Apple fit its biggest ever smartphone screen into a phone the size of the current 4.7-inch iPhone? According to reports, the phone will sport an exciting new design that removes the home button and does away with much of the empty space surrounding the screen on current iPhone models. As a result, the phone will feature a face that is nearly all display. The larger screen and embedded Touch ID fingerprint scanner are exciting for a number of reasons, but one is the new function area that will supposedly occupy the bottom of the display much of the time. Like the Touch Bar on Apple's latest MacBook Pro models, this area will supposedly change dynamically based on which apps are being used at the time, offering shortcuts and other functions that can be customized by developers. We still have no idea if these reports are accurate, and we don't know what features iOS 11 will offer in the "Function Bar" supposedly headed to the iPhone 8. One Apple fan on the forums at MacRumors decided to create renders that imagine what we might see at the bottom of Apple's new OLED displays, and the results are pretty awesome. Forum user deuxani posted a series of images recently (via MacRumors)that show this new function area in action on the iPhone's home screen, lock screen, and in a few apps. On the lock screen, a fingerprint graphic would indicate that the user can unlock the phone with a Touch ID scan. Meanwhile on the home screen, the function area might only display a home button. Inside apps is where things get interesting, though. In these fan-made mockups, the Instagram app offers Function Bar shortcuts to post a new photo and to the app's private messenger inbox. Meanwhile in the Twitter app, a shortcut to post a new tweet might be available. And when the user visits someone's profile page, there might be a shortcut to follow that user. Again, these are fan-made concept images and we have no idea how closely they represent reality, if at all. Given how adamantly Apple is pushing the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro, however, bringing similar functionality to iOS devices may indeed be high on the company's list of priorities. |
Twin Rhode Island sisters, 97, die in falls on frigid weekend Posted: 06 Mar 2017 06:01 AM PST A pair of 97-year-old twin sisters died over the weekend after one fell while exiting her car and the other appeared to trip while rushing into their Rhode Island home to call for help, police said.

Bolivia's Morales will return to Cuba for small operation: media Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:53 PM PST Bolivian President Evo Morales will return to Cuba in early April for an operation to remove a nodule in his vocal cords, Cuban state media said. The leftist former coca farmer went to Cuba for treatment on Wednesday after a sore throat robbed him of his voice, causing him to cancel public appearances. The state outlet Cubadebate reported that Morales met Cuban media before leaving the country and told them he had been diagnosed with a virus and was now recovering. |
FBI investigating 300 refugees in US on terror-related suspicions: official Posted: 06 Mar 2017 09:27 AM PST The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating around 300 refugees admitted into the United States for suspected terror-linked activities, US officials said Monday. "Today more than 300 people, according to the FBI, who came here as refugees are under an FBI investigation today for potential terrorism-related activities," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said. "Many people seeking to support or commit terrorist acts will enter through our refugee program," he said. |

Bizarre Tesla Model S fire at Supercharger station prompts ‘full investigation’ Posted: 06 Mar 2017 11:24 AM PST Tesla is currently investigating what may have caused a Model S P85 to catch fire while at one of the company's Supercharger stations in Shanghai, China. The incident occurred late last week, and curiously enough, initial reports indicate that the car wasn't actively charging at the time the fire began to spread.
The fire was ultimately put out and thankfully no one was harmed during the incident. Addressing the matter in a statement provided to Electrek recently, Tesla said that it plans to conduct a full investigation into the matter. "No one was harmed in this incident," a Tesla spokesperson said. "We're undergoing a full investigation and we'll share our findings as soon as possible." Tesla, to its credit, has a history of being extremely transparent when it comes to providing full details about serious incidents involving its growing fleet of cars. A few photos of the charred out Tesla Model S P85 can be viewed below, courtesy of Reddit user JayinShanghai. While we certainly don't want to draw any sweeping conclusions about the incident until Tesla figures out exactly what went wrong, it's worth noting this isn't the first time we've seen a story involving a Tesla seemingly catching fire for no reason. This past August, for example, a driver taking a Model S 90D for a test drive heard a loud noise before noticing a message on the dashboard which read, "Problems with charging." Shortly thereafter, the driver pulled over whereupon the car reportedly burst into flames just one minute later. All of the passengers managed to escape unscathed and firefighters quickly arrived on the scene and put the fire out. A sensational photo of the burning Tesla can be seen below. |
IT services firm stocks dip after government suspends fast tech visas Posted: 06 Mar 2017 12:55 PM PST By Noel Randewich SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Technology services company shares dipped on Monday after the Trump administration announced it would temporarily suspend expedited applications for H-1B visas widely used by foreign tech workers. U.S. shares of Indian IT company Infosys Ltd fell 1.2 percent and Wipro Ltd edged down 0.2 percent after the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said on Friday that it would suspend "premium processing" of the visas for up to six months. Following President Donald Trump's election in November, Infosys and Wipro sold off due to concerns he would keep promises to crack down on immigrants who he said were taking jobs from U.S. citizens. |

China to develop space rockets to launch from planes - state paper Posted: 06 Mar 2017 06:33 PM PST China will develop rockets that can be launched into space from aircraft, a senior official told the state-run China Daily newspaper, as Beijing aims to send hundreds of satellites into orbit for military, commercial and scientific aims. The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology has designed a solid-fuel rocket that could carry a 100 kg (220 lb) payload into low Earth orbit, said Li Tongyu, the head of the agency's carrier rocket development. Chinese President Xi Jinping has prioritised advancing China's space programme, saying it was needed to enhance national security and defence, although its progress still lags behind the United States and Russia. |
Google vows fix for 'inappropriate' search results Posted: 06 Mar 2017 08:10 AM PST Google said Monday it was working to fix a search algorithm glitch that produced "inappropriate and misleading" results from its search engine and connected speaker. The internet giant reacted after a blog post highlighted unsubstantiated search results indicating former president Barack Obama was planning a "coup d'etat' and that four former US presidents were members of the Ku Klux Klan. The weekend post from Search Engine Land editor Danny Sullivan found Google delivered "terribly wrong" answers to some queries in its "one true answer" box at the top of search results and in queries to its Google Home speaker. |
Poachers kill rare giant elephant in Kenya Posted: 06 Mar 2017 07:25 AM PST One of Africa's oldest and largest elephants was killed by poachers in Kenya on Monday, according to a conservation group that protects the dwindling group of giant "tuskers". Richard Moller of the Tsavo Trust told AFP that Satao II, named after another famed giant killed in 2014, was found dead on Monday and was believed to have been shot with a poisoned arrow, though this had not been confirmed. "Luckily, through the work we do with the Kenyan Wildlife Service (KWS), we were able to find the carcass before the poachers could recover the ivory," said Moller. |

Kenya government opposed to lawmaker move to break up Vodafone unit Posted: 06 Mar 2017 02:36 AM PST By Duncan Miriri NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's government is opposed to a move by a legislator to amend the law to break up the country's biggest telecoms operator, Safaricom, the information minister said on Monday. Jakoyo Midiwo, the deputy minority leader in Kenya's national assembly, proposed amendments to the country's communication and banking laws aimed at breaking up Safaricom, which is 40 percent owned by Britain's Vodafone. Joe Mucheru, the information, communication and technology minister, said the move would punish operators for innovations, and discourage investments. |

U.S. Navy ship changes course after Iran vessels come close: U.S. official Posted: 06 Mar 2017 04:11 PM PST By Idrees Ali WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Multiple fast-attack vessels from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps came close to a U.S. Navy ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, forcing it to change direction, a U.S. official told Reuters on Monday. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the boats came within 600 yards (meters) of the USNS Invincible, a tracking ship, and stopped. The Invincible and three ships from the British Royal Navy accompanying it had to change course. |
North Korea says missiles were drill for strike on US bases Posted: 07 Mar 2017 03:24 AM PST Nuclear-armed North Korea said Tuesday its missile launches were training for a strike on US bases in Japan, as global condemnation of the regime swelled. Three of the four missiles fired Monday came down provocatively close to US ally Japan, in waters that are part of its exclusive economic zone, representing a challenge to US President Donald Trump. In separate phone calls, Trump -- whose rhetoric on the campaign trail had raised doubts about the issue -- reaffirmed Washington's "ironclad commitment" to Japan and South Korea. |

Another painful reminder of Android’s most infuriating problem Posted: 06 Mar 2017 08:42 AM PST I'm a big fan of what Google has done with the Android platform. The company saw a huge shift coming in the mobile space, and its strategy was ingenious. By building a wonderfully capable and modern mobile platform and then handing it out to hardware vendors for free, Google created a scenario where its apps and services are at the center of the user experience on hundreds of millions of devices — in fact, that figure is quickly approaching 2 billion. Of course, there are upsides and downsides to every software platform, and Android is no different in this regard. And there's one downside in particular that continues to rear its ugly head time and time again. Google's latest version of Android is called Android 7 Nougat, and it's packed full of great new features. My personal favorites include the brilliant new software update mechanism, and Google's new "Instant Apps" feature that lets users start trying an app instantly without having to purchase or even download anything from the Google Play store. You can read about those new features and more in our previous coverage. Android 7.0 Nougat was first released on August 22nd, 2016, and the latest version, Android 7.1.2 Nougat, was released in late February. Google's new OS is now six months old, and it's well on its way to becoming the world's most popular version of Android... at some point in late 2018. That's right, it'll be two years before the majority of Android phones gain access to some version of Android 7, and by then Android 9 will have been released. According to Google's own data, the most common version of Android right now is Android Lollipop, which was first released two years ago back in 2014. Meanwhile, the six-month-old Android Nougat is currently installed on a whopping 1.2% of active Android devices. Ugh. This story is as painful to read over and over again as it is to write over and over again, but that makes it no less important. Why are we bringing it up now? Because a tweet from an official Samsung account last week serves as the latest painful reminder of how aggravating this problem truly is. https://twitter.com/SamsungUK/status/836204740870537217 Samsung's Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge were released just 22 months ago, and to this day they remain two of Samsung's most popular smartphones ever. Millions and millions of people purchased them since they were the first Samsung phones to feature a design and build quality that matched the killer performance and beautiful displays that Samsung has always been known for. Plenty of those phones are still in use since most people do not upgrade their smartphones every year, and yet all those flagship phones that were purchased for $650+ still don't have access to Google's six-month-old Android update. Now, all we can do is hope that Samsung manages to release Android N for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge before Android O is released in the coming months. |
