This video of a fish 'walking' along the ocean floor is making scientists scratch their heads Posted: 06 Jun 2017 04:22 PM PDT Imagine taking an evening dive and seeing a fish casually strolling along the ocean floor ... on what looks like a pair of legs.  That's exactly what happened to a French diver off the coast of Bali, Indonesia on a recent night expedition. Luckily, he filmed the encounter so scientists (and the internet) could enjoy.  SEE ALSO: Beachgoers should be wary of this deadly sea creature The diver, Emeric Benhalassa, said he suspected the creature was a type of stingfish (one of the world's most venomous fish), National Geographic reports. However, scientists have not been so sure, and have been unable to reach a consensus about what the bizarre creature actually is since Benhalassa's video surfaced on Monday. The footage shows an orange-ish colored fish with billowy brown fins and what appear to be spiny legs scuttling around the ocean floor. While stingfish don't actually have legs, they do have "pectoral filaments" (a part of their pectoral fins which separated through evolution), which they use to root around for crustaceans and worms. Yum. According to National Geographic, possible scientific identifications of the fish have included a striped stingfish, a painted stinger, a whitetail goblinfish, or even an undescribed species. A blue-eyed stingfishImage: Colin Marshall/REX/ShutterstockWithout being able to hold the fish in their hands, scientists say it's hard to make an exact identification. It doesn't help that very little is known about the behavior of the stingfish, because they spend their days buried in the mud.  Stingfish are viewed as a delicacy in Japan and make expensive menu items, while in parts of Southeast Asia they are tossed back into the ocean because they are believed to be devils.  One thing's for sure- there's definitely some weird stuff in the ocean.  WATCH: Stay among the coral reefs in this unique underwater hotel room

It took less than a day for bloggers to convince themselves WWDC was a disaster Posted: 06 Jun 2017 02:31 PM PDT During Apple's WWDC keynote yesterday, Tim Cook and a slew of Apple executives introduced a number of new software and hardware initiatives, including a peer-to-peer payment feature via Apple Pay, a brand new iMac Pro, a sleek new 10.5-inch iPad, refreshed notebooks across the board, a brand new augmented reality platform, and a premium-oriented home speaker dubbed HomePod, just to name a few. All in all, Apple's WWDC event this year was solid from start to finish, though perhaps not the most exciting WWDC event we've ever seen. Nonetheless, Apple introduced enough new software and hardware to get developers and iOS users alike excited for the future of Apple's ecosystem. Indeed, the augmented reality demo was particularly enthralling. Predictably, though, it didn't take long for critics and naysayers to start chirping about how Apple has lost its luster, with some even trotting out the same old tired lines about how Tim Cook isn't the visionary that Steve Jobs was. An example: try and digest this blurb from Christopher Versace over at Forbes. While we tend to be Apple devotees when it comes to the hardware and its ease of use, our view is this year's WWDC is it was one largely filled with refinements and incremental additions. Not entirely surprising, given the fact that Apple is now led by an expert operations manager, Tim Cook, and not a visionary like Steve Jobs. As we see it, Apple will either need to bring in some visionary expertise, or perhaps, and more likely, use its war chest of $20 billion to buy some vision in the form of acquisitions, but that's another story. This is a curious take because Tim Cook was never supposed to be the second coming of Steve Jobs. Yes, he's an operations guy, but he's still the man who Jobs tapped to take Apple to new heights. And sure, Cook may not be as dynamic as Jobs, and he may not be the visionary that Jobs was, but there's no denying that Apple has absolutely thrived with him steering the ship. It's almost comical that some critics, in the same breath that they praise all things Steve Jobs, bemoan Jobs' choice of successor. Further, Tim Cook may not be Steve Jobs, but no one is Steve Jobs. Jobs was an incredibly unique individual who possessed the rare skill of being able to anticipate how the tech landscape was going to unfold. To expect Cook, or any one for that matter, to live up to Jobs' standard is absurd. Indeed, one of the key pieces of advice that Jobs told Cook was that he shouldn't fall prey to "What would Steve Jobs do?" syndrome. As to the WWDC announcements themselves, they were admittedly incremental in some regards, but that's how Apple actually operates more often than not. It doesn't roll out wild new ideas on a consistent basis. On the contrary, it refines and polishes its existing hardware and software lines, continually offering users more bang for their buck. Versace himself concedes this point: The problem as we see it is Apple is trapped inside a near yearly refresh rate that makes it challenging to deliver breakthrough features each and every year. Even the new iOS name, iOS 11, is uninspiring. And yet, the urge to criticize all things Apple is so great that even the iOS 11 name itself can't escape derision. The crazy thing is that Apple's WWDC event, in the eyes of some, is already being viewed as a failure. This is mind-boggling given that such critiques aren't even giving Apple's new software and hardware an opportunity to hit the marketplace.

Inside an ISIS prison in Mosul Posted: 07 Jun 2017 09:24 AM PDT Islamic State built prison cells inside an ordinary villa in Mosul as part of the group's tactic of boosting the safety of its jails and security centers by concealing them among regular houses.

"This is to keep the prisoners subdued," said the Iraqi military intelligence officer showing the villa to journalists.

Scientists Have Found the Oldest Known Human Fossils Posted: 07 Jun 2017 10:00 AM PDT Hundreds of thousands of years ago, around 62 miles west of what would eventually become Marrakesh, a group of people lived in a cave overlooking a lush Moroccan landscape. They rested there, building fires to keep themselves warm. They hunted there, sharpening stone tools to bring down animals. And they died there, leaving their bones behind in the dirt. At the time, there would have been nothing particularly notable about these cave-dwellers. They were yet more Homo sapiens, members of a nascent ape species that had spread across Africa. But in their death, they have become singularly important.

Comey's bombshell recollections of Trump talks Posted: 07 Jun 2017 02:20 PM PDT Former FBI director James Comey gave damaging details Wednesday of a series of nine meetings or conversations he had with President Donald Trump before being sacked last month.
