| Trump vows to outspend Russia without new missile pact Posted: 05 Feb 2019 09:07 PM PST  President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday that the United States would outspend Russia on missiles without a fresh international accord after he ditched a landmark Cold War treaty. Trump's warning during his annual State of the Union address cemented fears of an emerging arms race, with Russia hours earlier pledging to design new missiles over the next two years. The United States last week started the process of exiting the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, saying that Russia has been violating the pact through a new missile system and ignored repeated complaints.

Early in the speech, as Trump declared the state of the union to be "strong" and said the country was enjoying an "unprecedented economic boom," some Democrats in white sat on their hands.

| Samsung finally decided to cancel its eyebrow-raising partnership with a fake Supreme brand Posted: 04 Feb 2019 11:42 AM PST ![Samsung finally decided to cancel its eyebrow-raising partnership with a fake Supreme brand]( "Samsung finally decided to cancel its eyebrow-raising partnership with a fake Supreme brand") It took almost two months, but it seems that Samsung has finally come to its senses. After a splashy announcement in December about a partnership between Samsung, of course one of the world's premiere technology companies, and a knock-off of the iconic New York-based streetwear fashion brand Supreme, the tech giant quickly garnered backlash over the deal. Supreme Italia is the name of the fake Supreme brand, which drew the ire of the real Supreme folks who quickly pushed back that the partnership had nothing to do with the real company ("These claims are blatantly false and propagated by a counterfeit organization" read a scathing press response to the impending deal). Samsung almost immediately reversed course, saying it would re-evaluate the team-up, and now the company has decided to put the final nail in its coffin. According to a post from Samsung on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, the deal is not going forward, though Samsung doesn't say much at all in the somewhat terse update. A translation of that post reads, in full: "Samsung Electronics mentioned the cooperation with Supreme Italia at the Galaxy A8s China conference held on December 10 last year. Samsung Electronics has decided to stop the cooperation." As we mentioned back in December, this was a pretty weird story from the get-go. At that Galaxy A8s event, Samsung allowed a few executives from Supreme Italia to join the company on stage. It gave them that prominent moment in the spotlight, at a high-profile tech industry event no less, while knowing full well that Supreme Italia is very much not the same NYC company that everyone knows. As a reminder, because of a trademark law oddity, the US company is actually not registered in a few places around the world, including in Italy. That's the reason for Supreme Italia is allowed to legally operate. Both companies have sparred over the perception of legitimacy, but setting aside that for a moment, it's still pretty odd that this potential arrangement with Samsung got as far as it did. It's not clear who at the South Korea-based tech giant thought this was a good idea, but it's not like the company is hurting for publicity or buzz. It's releasing a few new exciting devices this year alone, including a foldable phone that's got the tech industry buzzing, which presumably would eliminate the need to team up with a controversial knock-off clothing brand to gin up excitement.

| Trump says US backs Venezuela's 'quest for freedom': speech excerpts Posted: 05 Feb 2019 06:12 PM PST  President Donald Trump plans to ramp up the pressure on Venezuela's embattled leader Nicolas Maduro in his State of the Union address on Tuesday, doubling down on US support for his challenger Juan Guaido.
