Rouhani warns Revolutionary Guards not to meddle in Iran election

Posted: 17 May 2017 10:39 AM PDT

Rouhani warns Revolutionary Guards not to meddle in Iran electionBy Babak Dehghanpisheh BEIRUT (Reuters) - President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday urged Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards and the Basij militia under its control not to meddle in Friday's presidential election, in a rare warning that underscored rising political tensions. The Guards, who oversee an economic empire worth billions of dollars, are seldom criticized in public, but the pragmatist Rouhani is locked in an unexpectedly tight race against hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi, who is believed to have their support. "We just have one request: for the Basij and the Revolutionary Guards to stay in their own place for their own work," Rouhani said in a campaign speech in the city of Mashad, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency (ILNA).  Rouhani reinforced his appeal by quoting the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic, who he said had warned the armed forces against interfering in politics.

‘Find My Device’ is Google’s new app to find your lost phone

'Find My Device' is Google's new app to find your lost phone

Moments before the start of the Google I/O developer conference, Google put its new device-finding app up on the Google Play Store. It's named "Find My Device," which is going to draw a few comparisons to Apple's famous "Find My iPhone" feature.

The new app is more than just a name, though. It has received a serious visual overhaul, with a new 3-D map that looks much more 2017. Devices are listed like tabs across the top of the app, which makes it easier to find your smartwatch in case it just slipped off your wrist.

The core functions of the app remain the same: you can see a device on the map, provided it's online, or see the last known location. Provided the device is connected to the internet, you can make it play a sound, lock it, or put it into a "lost device" mode to make it easier to retrieve.

The app is obviously designed for use on a friend's Android device, or for using on your own phone to find a lost tablet or watch. If you're trying to find a device from a PC web browser, you're still much better off typing "find my phone" into Google, and using the built-in interface to ping it.

The app is available to download right now in the Google Play Store, although we're expecting to here a little more about the redesign at Google's event today.

The OnePlus 5 might ‘steal’ an iconic iPhone feature

The OnePlus 5 might 'steal' an iconic iPhone feature

Earlier this week, a OnePlus 5 photo leak showed us a purported prototype photographed in the real world complete with news that the phone might be a lot more expensive than we thought. But new images leaked from China now show a different design for the alleged next-gen OnePlus handset.

From the looks of it, OnePlus might be testing a several prototypes in the wild, assuming these leaks are genuine. That means there's no telling what the final OnePlus 5 will look like. But the dual-lens rear camera appears in all these recent leaks, so at least one thing seems like a safe bet.

The new images posted to Weibo show a handset that's somewhat similar to the supposed prototype we saw before. However, there are some obvious differences. This model doesn't have any antenna lines on the top or bottom. The rear camera setup is also different, with the flash sitting between the two lenses rather than below them.

The most surprising difference comes from the phone's bottom side, which lacks a headphone jack, just like the iPhone 7 and recent Moto flagship phones.

Apple has faced plenty of criticism for its decision to remove the traditional headphone jack from the iPhone 7 series, although other Android device makers including Motorola did it without dealing with much backlash at all. OnePlus might be next to adopt this smartphone design change.

The iPhone 7 also made dual lens cameras great again, with various other Android makers expected to ship similar smartphones this year, including OnePlus and Samsung.

Military graft undermines Nigeria's fight against Boko Haram: Transparency Int'l

Posted: 18 May 2017 12:34 AM PDT

Military graft undermines Nigeria's fight against Boko Haram: Transparency Int'lMilitary corruption is weakening Nigeria's efforts to battle the Islamist insurgency of Boko Haram, the watchdog Transparency International said on Thursday. Its report underlines the difficulty of achieving two key promises of President Muhammadu Buhari's 2015 election campaign: tackling endemic corruption and defeating an insurgency that has claimed over 20,000 lives and displaced millions. "Corrupt military officials have been able to benefit from the conflict through the creation of fake defence contracts, the proceeds of which are often laundered abroad in the UK, U.S. and elsewhere," the watchdog said in a statement.
