Philippine top cop says police try to save lives of drugs war victims Posted: 30 Jun 2017 09:43 AM PDT The Philippines' police chief on Friday stood by anti-narcotics officers and rejected a Reuters investigation that pointed to a pattern of police sending corpses of drug suspects to hospitals to destroy crime scene evidence and hide executions.

U.S. farmers running out of opportunities to sell corn at profit Posted: 30 Jun 2017 12:14 PM PDT By Mark Weinraub WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. farmers who have been holding out for higher prices for their corn may finally sell their grain below target levels in the next few weeks as a government report released on Friday underscores the huge supplies left in storage bins around the country, analysts said. The U.S. Agriculture Department said that farmers still had 2.841 billion bushels of corn in their storage bins as of June 1, the fifth most ever for that time period. It was the highest June 1 on-farm corn storage recording in 29 years and an indication that the market could remain under pressure until harvest.

China's Xi draws 'red line' in Hong Kong as protesters march Posted: 01 Jul 2017 12:46 AM PDT China's President Xi Jinping warned on Saturday that any challenge to Beijing's control over Hong Kong crossed a "red line", as thousands calling for more democracy marched through the city 20 years since it was handed back by Britain. Xi spoke in a televised address after swearing in new Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, who is already being cast by critics as a China stooge in a city where many are angry at Beijing's tightening grip on the freedoms of its nearly eight million people. A huge security operation shut down large parts of Hong Kong for Xi's three-day visit, reflecting Beijing's concern that there should be no embarrassment ahead of a key Communist Party congress later this year which is expected to cement his position as the most powerful Chinese leader in a generation.

Analysis: Can IS be ousted from Syria without Assad's help?

Sorry, but Apple probably won’t release an iPhone 8, 7s, or 7s Plus this year Posted: 30 Jun 2017 05:51 AM PDT After three years with the same iPhone design, Apple fans will finally get what they want in 2017. Rumors suggest Apple is planning to release not one, not even two, but three redesigned iPhone models this year. One of them is expected to be updates to the iPhone 7, and the second will be an updated iPhone 7 Plus. Rather than sticking with the same design as has been the case in the past, however, both of these phones are expected to get makeovers that include glass housings to enable wireless charging. Then, the star of the show will be a third new iPhone model that features a top-to-bottom redesign. It'll ditch the physical home button so that the new OLED display can occupy as much of the phone's front side as possible, and it'll have a Touch ID fingerprint sensor embedded beneath the screen. The new crown jewel of the iPhone lineup is also expected to have a new dual-lens camera that marks a big upgrade over 2016's iPhone 7 Plus. We know plenty about Apple's upcoming new iPhones, indeed — but there's one thing that everyone has been getting all wrong ever since details first began leaking last year. Remember the gorgeous "iPhone 8" mockup we saw appear in a video earlier this week? That's almost certainly not an iPhone 8. It's been a long time coming, but 2017 is shaping up to be the year that Apple finally switches up its naming scheme for the iPhone lineup. Let's think about it for a moment. Unless dozens of independent reports are wrong, Apple plans to release three new iPhone models this year. Tech blogs have to refer to them by some names, and they've landed on names that seem logical at first glance. But they're not logical at all. Going by the names we've all been using, here's what Apple's 2017 iPhone lineup would look like: iPhone 7s iPhone 7s Plus iPhone 8 That seems fine, right? You've got two iPhones that are upgrades to last year's models, and then a third brand new one with a brand new name. But... what happens in 2018? iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus iPhone 8s Not. A. Chance. First, there's no way Apple would ever release an "S" model in the same year that it releases new numbered models. Second, and far worse, would be the idea that Apple would upgrade the "iPhone 8" to "iPhone 8s" while also upgrading the "iPhone 7s" to "iPhone 8." Would Apple really give the same name to two different phones in two consecutive years? No way. Unfortunately, the only thing I can say with any certainty is that Apple absolutely will not release three iPhones this year named iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone 8. I have no idea what Apple is going to call them, I just know what the company won't be calling them, though I can certainly speculate a bit. If Apple decides to combine iPhone and iPad naming schemes with its new iPhone lineup, it might look like this: iPhone iPhone Plus iPhone Pro If the rumors are wrong and Apple really only plans to launch two new iPhones in 2017, they might be named as follows: iPhone iPhone Pro Or the company could go full iPad, and opt for: 4.7-inch iPhone 5.5-inch iPhone 5.8-inch iPhone In all three of those instances, Apple would follow the iPad lineup's lead. Then, in the years that follow, Apple might slap year designators on its iPhones as it does with MacBook models. Of course, there are still glaring problems with each of those three suggestions. For the first two, the "Pro" designator doesn't align with Apple's other product lines. Some have argued that the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro are both professional-grade device lines, while Apple's tenth-anniversary iPhone would clearly be a consumer device. I'm not so sure about this argument, however. If you want to buy into Apple's marketing, that's fine, but the "iPad Pro" is a consumer device. Sorry. To me, the third suggestion above is the least likely. Sure it makes sense, and sure it aligns with the iPad lineup, but would Apple really release a "5.5-inch iPhone" that's larger than a "5.8-inch iPhone"? Remember, the upcoming tenth-anniversary iPhone will be far more compact than the iPhone 7 Plus even though it has a larger display. There are plenty of other directions Apple could move in. "iPhone X" has been tossed around a bit, though I'm not sure Apple would move back to "X" after dumping the OS X name in favor of macOS. Then again, perhaps Apple was clearing a path so that there would be no overlap between OS X and iPhone X. But still, what happens next year? iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone Xs? How about in 2019? iPhone 8s, iPhone 8s Plus, and iPhone X2? Nope, not a chance. I've also seen a few people suggest that Apple might ditch the iPhone brand entirely and move to "Apple Phone," like Apple Watch. Perhaps someday, but I don't see that happening right now. In the end, it's still a mystery and we all still really have no choice but to call Apple's upcoming new phones the iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone 8. Come September, however, don't expect to see any of those names on stage during Apple's big unveiling.

Field studies fuel dispute over whether banned pesticides harm bees Posted: 29 Jun 2017 11:04 AM PDT By Kate Kelland LONDON (Reuters) - Two major studies into how bees are affected by a group of pesticides banned in Europe gave mixed results on Thursday, fuelling a row over whether the chemicals, called neonicotinoids, are safe. The studies, one conducted across three European countries and another in Canada, found some negative effects after exposure to neonicotinoids in wild and honeybee populations, but also some positives, depending on the environmental context. Scientists who conducted the European research - in Britain, Hungary and Germany - told reporters their overall findings suggested neonicotinoids are harmful to honeybee and wild bee populations and are "a cause for concern".

Pope's close aide charged, bringing sex abuse scandal to Vatican Posted: 29 Jun 2017 06:12 PM PDT By Philip Pullella and Byron Kaye VATICAN CITY/SYDNEY (Reuters) - A top adviser to Pope Francis was charged with multiple historical sex crimes in his native Australia on Thursday, bringing a worldwide abuse scandal to the heart of the Vatican. Appointed Vatican economy minister by Francis, Cardinal George Pell is the highest-ranking Church official to face such accusations. "The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me." Pell's high-profile departure, even if temporary, puts pressure on a pontiff who has made compassion for the vulnerable his watchword, and has declared zero tolerance for a child abuse scandal that has beset the Church for decades, but has struggled to overcome resistance in the Church hierarchy and clergy.

Five N. Koreans sail across tense border to S. Korea Posted: 01 Jul 2017 08:09 AM PDT Five North Koreans in a small boat crossed the sea border into South Korean waters Saturday, a Coast Guard official said, in an apparent bid to defect to the South.

How camera quality on the iPhone has improved over the last 10 years Posted: 30 Jun 2017 06:20 AM PDT With the iPhone's 10th anniversary being celebrated this week, we thought it would be a good time to sit back and reminisce about the myriad of ways in which Apple's iconic device has changed the way we live. At a base level, the iPhone has had a profound impact on how individuals communicate with one another and the world at large.  More specifically, one area that the iPhone helped revolutionize quite drastically is mobile photography. Today, the quality of photos one can take with an iPhone is simply astounding. Coupled with a seemingly endless selection of editing tools, the iPhone has become a bona-fide camera replacement for many non-professional users. Going back in time, the camera on the original iPhone was rather paltry and featured a pedestrian 2 megapixel shooter on the back. Before long, however, Apple began devoting more and more resources towards its iPhone camera engineering team. Over time, photo quality on the iPhone began to improve drastically. One particularly notable release was the iPhone 4 which saw Apple roll out a 5 megapixel sensor alongside a new LED flash module. Subsequent releases saw the iPhone feature a larger aperture, improved low-light performance, better color balancing, a burst-mode option and many more features designed to improve performance and photo quality. With the iPhone 7 Plus, Apple took iPhone photography to the next level with the incorporation of an advanced dual-camera sensor. Looking ahead, it stands to reason that the upcoming iPhone 8 will take mobile photography to even greater heights. In the meantime, you might want to take a few minutes and have a look how drastically the iPhone camera has evolved over the last 10 years. That said, the following video from EverythingApplePro highlights how camera quality on the iPhone has improved, starting with the original iPhone all the way up to last year's iPhone 7. https://youtu.be/xOIJL0ec6QM?t=4m54s

Samsung is investing billions in manufacturing plants for the next iPhones Posted: 30 Jun 2017 05:00 PM PDT When you think of Samsung and smartphones, chances are you're imagining the Galaxy S8 or a gently smoldering Galaxy Note 7. But as well as making its own smartphones, Samsung is also a significant supplier of components to its rival, including Apple. Since there's only a couple months left until the iPhone 8 is made official, we already have a good idea that Samsung is going to have a hand in supplying OLED panels for Apple's latest and greatest. But according to a new supply chain rumor, Samsung isn't going to stop there. ETNews quotes supply chain sources as saying that Samsung will shortly invest billions of dollars into a pair of new plants for producing OLED panels. The plants won't be up and churning out displays until 2019, but when they are, they'll represent a significant portion of the overall OLED supply. With Apple expected to transition its entire iPhone lineup to OLED panels in the next two years (and Apple is the Pied Piper of component design choices), demand is set to explode. Samsung plans to be sitting there, bucket of panels in one hand and bank account in the other. The price tag is significant: approximately $21 billion over the next few years. The end result should be a total production capacity of 270,000 panels per month. That should be sufficient for Samsung to keep its dominance of the OLED panel market, which has obvious immediate benefits for Samsung's displays division. But it also means that Apple will have to stay on good terms with Samsung, even as Apple's Chinese manufacturing partner makes new moves into the display business.
