Philippine casino attacker a gambling addict, not terrorist: police

Posted: 04 Jun 2017 04:54 AM PDT

Philippine casino attacker a gambling addict, not terrorist: policeAn armed man who killed 37 people when he set fire to a casino in the Philippine capital was a father-of-three from Manila motivated by heavy gambling debts and not terrorism, authorities said Sunday. The identification of the attacker as Jessie Javier Carlos, a Catholic, proves that claims of responsibility by the Islamic State group for Friday's attack were false, President Rodrigo Duterte and police said. Manila police chief Oscar Albayalde said Carlos, 43, had three children and had been banned from all casinos in April by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) following a request from his family because of his gambling addiction.

Very determined man mows the grass as a tornado swirls nearbyWhat, was the grass supposed to cut itself? A particularly diligent man in Alberta, Canada, was recently photographed mowing his lawn as a tornado swirled menacingly in the distance.  SEE ALSO: America's newest eye in the sky is proving itself one tornado outbreak at a time Theunis Wessels told the Canadian Press that he was "keeping an eye on it" and that the twister was moving away from the house as he pushed the red mower along. His wife, Cecilia, said she snapped the photo to show her parents in South Africa, who rarely see tornados. Cecilia Wessels wasn't the only resident of Three Hills, Alberta, to capture the two-toned tornado as it swirled through the small town last Friday. Videos cropped up in recent days showing the 31-mile-an-hour twister rattling trees and ripping across the grass.  No injuries were reported from the tornado, though some photos show downed trees and a barn with its roof ripped off, the Canadian Press reported. Other images showed driveways slick with tiny spheres of hail. Just 27 minutes after the first tornado alert was issued, Alberta emergency officials reported the tornado threat was over. WATCH:

Today is the day tens of millions of Apple fans around the world have been waiting for all year long. That's right, Apple is kicking off its annual developers conference with the WWDC 2017 keynote you've all been waiting for. WWDC itself is a great event, if for no other reason than the fact that it helps third-party developers learn how to make better apps — and every iPhone and iPad user out there obviously benefits from that. But the real action for consumers takes place at the very start of the show, when Apple unveils new software and hardware products during its big WWDC keynote presentation.

If you want to watch live streaming video of Apple's big WWDC 2017 keynote, you can do so right here. In this post, you'll find constant live updates from the entire BGR team as Apple unveils all of its latest software and hardware products set to hit Apple devices and store shelves over the course of the next few months.

So, what should we expect to see Apple show off on stage in San Jose, California on Monday? The biggest news will undoubtedly be iOS 11, which will usher in an exciting new set of features for iPhone and iPad users around the globe. New versions of macOS, watchOS, and tvOS will be unveiled as well during the WWDC 2017 keynote.

As for hardware, nothing is set in stone but there have been plenty of leaks leading up to today's big event. Rumor has it we can expect new MacBook Pro models with more modern processors, a redesigned iPad Pro that fits a 10.5-inch display into a device that's roughly the same size as the current 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and a new Siri Speaker designer to combat leading smart speakers like the Amazon Echo and Google Home.

IS fighters will "come back with battlefield skills, they'll come back with hardened ideology, they'll come back angry, frustrated, and we need to be very aware of that," Australian Defence Minister Marise Payne said.

Saudi, Egypt lead Arab states cutting Qatar ties, Iran blames TrumpBy Noah Browning DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain severed their ties with Qatar on Monday, accusing it of supporting terrorism and opening up the worst rift in years among some of the most powerful states in the Arab world. Iran -- long at odds with Saudi Arabia and a behind-the-scenes target of the move -- immediately blamed U.S. President Donald Trump for setting the stage during his recent trip to Riyadh. Gulf Arab states and Egypt have already long resented Qatar's support for Islamists, especially the Muslim Brotherhood which they regard as a dangerous political enemy.

This video of iOS 11 on the iPhone 8 is almost definitely better than the real thing

Posted: 05 Jun 2017 07:27 AM PDT

This video of iOS 11 on the iPhone 8 is almost definitely better than the real thingWe now have just a few short hours to go before Apple kicks off its second-biggest event of 2017 (the first is the company's upcoming iPhone 8 launch event, of course). We're all expecting an action-packed WWDC 2017 keynote that focuses on a surprisingly wide range of hardware and software products. Apple apparently has refreshed MacBook Pro models in store, a brand new iPad Pro with a larger display packed into a case that's the same size as the 9.7-inch model, and even a new Siri Speaker that marks the company's first brand new iOS product of 2017. Speaking of iOS, we're also expecting Apple to show off dozens of new features in its various software platforms, including macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and of course iOS 11. All the action is scheduled to kick off later today at 1:00PM EDT / 10:00AM PDT, and we can't wait to see what Apple has in store for us with iOS 11. Aside from a few small leaks from this past weekend, no one outside Apple really has any idea of what to expect. While we can't say anything conclusive yet about iOS 11, we can say that once Apple's fresh new iOS 11 is finally unveiled, it probably won't be quite as impressive as this video, which imagines iOS 11 running on Apple's upcoming new iPhone 8. Rumors surrounding Apple's next-generation iPhone 8 obviously focus on the hardware, since Apple fans are about to get their major iPhone hardware refresh in three years. Three years is a very long time to use iPhones that look almost exactly the same, so anticipation is huge in 2017. Rumors suggest the new iPhone 8 will feature an all-screen front side, a Touch ID fingerprint sensor embedded into the display, a new glass housing with a stainless steel midframe and polished edges, an upgraded dual-camera system on the back, wireless charging support, and plenty more. The new hardware will obviously be the most talked-about iPhone 8 change, but let's not forget that none of that means a thing without the exciting new software features coming in iOS 11. On Monday, we'll get our first taste off many of the nifty new features Apple has planned for us in iOS 11. Apple will undoubtedly hold anything back that might give away details surrounding its upcoming iPhone 8, but which is obviously a bummer. There's nothing we can do about that, I'm afraid, but we can at least have some fun imagining what iOS 11 might be like on an all-screen  iPhone 8 thanks to the video embedded below. Please be warned that there's a bunch of flickering and flashing in the video, so anyone with a medial condition that might be impacted should skip it.

Vice President Pence urges Congress to complete Obamacare repealBy David Morgan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday urged the Republican-controlled Congress to complete the job of dismantling Obamacare this summer and move on quickly to another big-ticket item on President Donald Trump's agenda: tax cuts. Speaking days before lawmakers return to Washington amid doubts about their ability to agree on legislation, Pence sought to add urgency to the debate by warning that consumers face dwindling access to Obamacare health coverage in some states. Trump-backed legislation to dismantle former President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul narrowly passed the House of Representatives last month.

Mexico ruling party claims win in key state, rivals cry foulMexico's ruling party narrowly held onto the governorship of the country's largest state Sunday, according to preliminary election results, but a fiery leftist hoping to ride the race to the presidency cried foul. The election in the state of Mexico, President Enrique Pena Nieto's home state, was closely watched as a bellwether ahead of presidential polls next year. It was a must-win race for Pena Nieto and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which had to fend off a fierce challenge from an upstart leftist party, the National Regeneration Movement (Morena), and its founder, presidential hopeful Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

The latest images show the new Hyundai in three-quarter views from the front and the back, and probably show a little more of the new design than we might expect at this point ahead of a formal launch. The Kona will be the fourth SUV in Hyundai's range and it's going to go head-to-head with the likes of the Kia Soul, Nissan Juke and the Toyota C-HR.


New leak sheds light on Apple’s secretive ‘smart glasses’ project

New leak sheds light on Apple's secretive 'smart glasses' project

Over the weekend, a Reddit user with the handle Foxconninsider released a treasure trove of information regarding a number of new products Apple has in the pipeline. While most of the Reddit AMA seemed to focus on upcoming iPhones and an assortment of Mac hardware, there was also some interesting information divulged regarding Apple's rumored smart glasses.

The notion that Apple has been exploring smart glasses with augmented reality features is certainly nothing new. On the contrary, in recent months we've seen a handful of reports from exceedingly credible sources indicating that Apple's smart glasses initiative is very much real. Not too long ago, for example, the Financial Times -- which has a solid track record with respect to Apple rumors -- published a report claiming that Apple was interested in taking its smart glasses project "from a science project towards a consumer product."

All the while, other reports have relayed that Apple's AR team continues to grow and now includes hundreds of researchers and engineers with varying experience in relevant fields like head-mounted displays, optics and more. What's more, it's also been reported that many of Apple's AR engineers previously worked on Facebook's Oculus Rift and Microsoft's HoloLens headset.

Suffice it to say, Apple's exploration into the field of smart glasses is very real. With that said, the purported Foxconn insider divulged an extensive amount of new information about the ultra-secretive project. With the AMA now closed, we went back and scoured every question and answer we could find about Apple's mythical smart glasses. Of course, everything should be taken with a requisite grain of salt, but that's simply par for the course in the world of Apple rumors.

With the standard disclaimer out of the way, let's get this thing rolling.

According to Foxconninsider, Apple's smart glasses -- at least in its current incarnation -- uses a prism to convey an image to the lens with a resolution of 428x240. As far as interacting with the device itself, Apple's smart glasses are outfitted with a microphone for Siri control and an accelerometer that can presumably register commands when a user moves his or her head in a certain direction. Additionally, it features a "small capacitive strip" for accepting calls and adjusting the volume.

Interestingly, the current Apple smart glasses reportedly do not include a camera due to design and battery life considerations. The product can house both polarized and prescription lenses and, if ever released, will be available in different sizes for both men and women. Some of the colored frames Foxconninsider claims to have seen include crystal, champagne, and black.

Based on the bill of materials, the Foxconninsider believes Apple's smart glasses might cost as much as $600.

Kopin NED Acetate frame Polarisized or prescription lens with Zeiss smart optics Bone induction modules Microphones (noise cancellation) Light sensor Accelerometer for step tracking and head movement app navigation Magnetometer for navigation Capacitive Pavel Ceramic battery Apple chipset Charging circuit BL5 Induction module

The million dollar question, though, is whether or not the current prototype will ever become a viable and shipping product. To this point, our fearless leaker claims that there's a 65% chance the entire smart glasses project might be scrapped altogether.

When asked why we should even care about Apple smart glasses, the leaker said that it is a very unique design and that "if it can be done properly" it will "be like what the iPhone did 10 years ago."

When asked how she came up with the 65% figure, the leaker answered: "Yield rate and amount of other products they scrap in new areas. Apple experiments a lot, 65% of these products never reach consumers." She later added that manufacturing a flexible battery is difficult at scale and that the device's display prism also has some technical hurdles Apple has to contend with.


North Korea says rejects new sanctions, to continue nuclear program

North Korea says rejects new sanctions, to continue nuclear programBy Christine Kim and Soyoung Kim SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea "fully rejects" the latest U.N sanctions against its citizens and entities as a "hostile act" and will continue its nuclear weapons development without a delay, its foreign ministry spokesman said on Sunday. The U.N. Security Council on Friday expanded targeted sanctions against North Korea after its repeated missile tests, adopting the first such resolution agreed by the United States and Pyongyang's only major ally China since U.S. President Donald Trump took office. The sanctions resolution "is a crafty hostile act with the purpose of putting a curb on the DPRK's buildup of nuclear forces, disarming it and causing economic suffocation to it," the foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement carried by its official KCNA news agency.

Another exciting new iOS 11 feature just leaked ahead of WWDC 2017

Another exciting new iOS 11 feature just leaked ahead of WWDC 2017

We've seen plenty of iPhone 8 rumors so far, but not so many iOS 11 leaks. However, with just a few hours to go until Apple kicks off its annual WWDC keynote, the iPhone maker inadvertently leaked two exciting iOS 11 features, including the brand new iOS Files app and a feature that goes hand in hand with it.

Discovered by Steven Troughton-Smith inside the Feedback app for beta testers, a new Drag and Drop feature will let users easily copy and paste content from one app to another. The full entry reads "Split View/Drag and Drop," and suggests it's supposed to serve iPad users who use the split view functionality.

https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/871654476549169153

No such feature exists in current iOS versions, including stable releases or betas, so it's likely that Apple will launch it as part of iOS 11.

The two features, including Files and drag and drop, would offer users better control over their files as well as a way to quickly move content between apps open side by side on an iPad. And that includes various actions such as saving and uploading attachments, or even downloading and uploading content to the web.

It's unclear whether the feature would work in any way on iPhones, which don't support the split view mode on Apple's iPad. The drag and drop mention is still present in the Feedback app, and you can find it even on the iPhone version of the app.

Apple will introduce iOS 11 on Monday during its WWDC 2017 keynote, at which point it should confirm both the Files app and the drag and drop feature.
