"Trump's executive orders are going to cut the heart out of these programs," said Kassa, who came to the U.S. from Ethiopia at age 4 as an asylum seeker.

How the Galaxy S8 compares to the competition Posted: 29 Mar 2017 10:43 AM PDT Samsung has finally taken the wraps off the Galaxy S8, its game-changing flagship smartphone for the year. It's unlike any other device we've seen before in terms of design and functionality, and it promises to mark a major change in the way that smartphones look and feel and work. But despite all that, it's still another smartphone that's going to have to compete for sales in stores and online, just like any other device. Specs don't tell the whole story, especially given the software features that Samsung has crammed into the Galaxy S8. But until we've had a chance to extensively test the Galaxy S8 next to the best iPhones and Android devices in the world, a fight on paper is the best we can do. Even just looking at the specs shows that the Galaxy S8 blows 2016 smartphones out of the water. On raw performance, it's top of the pack thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. It's the first smartphone to launch with Qualcomm's latest and greatest, and from what we've seen and heard so far, it should offer unrivalled performance while also being more energy efficient, which should hopefully mean longer battery life. Thanks to the lack of bezel, Samsung can fit a huge screen in a very manageable device. 5.8 inches looks big on paper, especially compared to something like the iPhone 7's 4.7-inch screen, but it shouldn't prove unwieldy. The resolution also looks sufficient for the size of screen Samsung went with: enough pixels to allow for crisp photos, video and VR content, but not so many that it's a waste of money and battery life. All in all, it's clear from the specs that the Galaxy S8 is a step above anything that launched in 2016. It's even a noticeable step above the newly-released LG G6, thanks to the more up-to-date processor. As we said, real-world testing is the ultimate decider, but just looking at the specs sheet, the Galaxy S8 is going to be hard to beat.

British soldier's sentence for killing injured Taliban cut Posted: 28 Mar 2017 03:22 AM PDT A British court on Tuesday cut a soldier's sentence for killing an injured Taliban fighter to seven years after his murder conviction was reduced to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. Veterans hugged, cheered and waved flags bearing former Royal Marine Alexander Blackman's image outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London after the ruling, which means he could be released within weeks. Blackman was sentenced in 2013 for shooting the fighter at close range in Afghanistan's Helmand Province on September 15, 2011, after the man was seriously injured by fire from an Apache helicopter.

OAS discusses Venezuela crisis, Caracas protests Posted: 28 Mar 2017 06:38 PM PDT The Organization of American States held a special meeting on the crisis in Venezuela on Tuesday, triggering a furious reaction from the Venezuelan government and its staunchest regional allies.

iOS 10.3 fixes a nasty Safari bug and includes hundreds of other security fixes Posted: 28 Mar 2017 01:55 PM PDT Apple yesterday released iOS 10.3 for the iPhone and iPad, an update that brought with it a number of interesting new features, including a new "Find My AirPods" feature and a brand new file system dubbed APFS (complete with full disk encryption) that Apple originally introduced at WWDC last year. Lurking beneath the surface of iOS 10.3, however, are a number of important security updates worth highlighting. iOS has always been a rather robust OS, but as the recent CIA leak from Wikileaks demonstrates, there are always hackers and government agencies dead set on unearthing and exploiting iOS security holes. As a prime example, iOS 10.3 fixes a Safari security vulnerability that allowed hackers to prevent affected users from browsing the web (via an endless stream of pop-ups) without ponying up some cash in the form of an iTunes gift card code. Lookout, the security firm which first discovered the attack a few weeks ago, writes of the patch: Lookout found this attack in the wild last month, along with several related websites used in the campaign, discovered the root cause, and shared the details with Apple. As part of the iOS 10.3 patch released today, Apple closed the attack vector by changing how Mobile Safari handles website pop-up dialogs, making them per-tab rather than taking over the entire app. All told, iOS 10.3 introduces hundreds of security fixes, a tally which makes iOS 10.3 an update you'd be well advised to download sooner rather than later. While some of the fixes are rather obscure, a good number of them address exploits that allow for arbitrary code execution with root privileges. A full list of Apple's numerous security fixes in iOS 10.3 can be viewed over here.

U.S. attorney general escalates pressure on 'sanctuary' cities Posted: 27 Mar 2017 06:33 PM PDT Attorney General Jeff Sessions threatened on Monday to cut off U.S. Justice Department grants to cities that fail to assist federal immigration authorities, moving the Trump administration closer to a potential clash with leaders of America's largest urban centers. Sessions' statements were aimed at a dozens of cities and other local governments, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, that have joined a growing "sanctuary" movement aimed at shielding illegal immigrants from stepped-up deportation efforts. Police agencies in those jurisdictions have barred their officers from routinely checking on immigration status when making arrests or traffic stops.

Did an astroid strike a Martian ocean and create a cataclysmic tsunami? Posted: 27 Mar 2017 06:01 PM PDT There's no shortage of theories about what Mars was like billions of years ago. The prevailing guess is that water was abundant, and there may have even been enough to form huge oceans. New research into an existing geographical feature on the red planet could provide new evidence of not only the existence of a massive body of water, but also an astroid impact that could have generated multiple devastating tsunamis. Evidence that water existed on Mars is ample, and many researchers believe that telltale signs of tsunamis are also present. In an effort to explain how a tsunami might have been generated, scientists have been looking for the spot (or spots) on the Martian surface where an astroid or other celestial object could have come crashing down. One particularly interesting spot on the planet, which NASA describes as "thumbprint-looking," was long thought to be the result of mud or other debris sliding downward after being pushed up by a glacier or other geographical shift. It's called the Lomonosov crater, and new research supports a very different theory as to how it got there. Instead of being simply the result of gravity pulling dirt downhill, scientists now believe it could very well be the last remaining mark of an astroid that violently struck Mars billions of years ago. What's more, the characteristics of the crater support the idea that when the rock struck the planet, the spot it hit was actually an ocean, leading to multiple huge tidal waves as the displaced water was pushed from and pulled into resulting crater.

Hidden changes in iOS 10.3 will give your iPhone a speed boost Posted: 28 Mar 2017 07:43 AM PDT After releasing a few hundred different beta versions over the past month or so, Apple on Monday finally released iOS 10.3 to the public. Eager iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users rushed to download and install the update, and they were greeted with some nifty new features. In a post on Monday afternoon, we went through the eight best new features in iOS 10.3, including a new Find My AirPods feature, updates to the Maps app, Apple's new file system and more. There was one feature in particular that we listed in the post that deserves more attention though, and not many people realize it's even there. When Apple releases any new iOS software, hardcore Apple fans always rush to download and install it immediately, regardless of what new features Apple adds. This is a good thing for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that new iOS software always includes security updates that are crucial. iOS 10.3 is no different — it's packed full of security fixes that users should be eager to install immediately. Of course, the user-facing features are typically the main draw for new iOS updates, and iOS 10.3 has a few nice additions and changes. One set of changes in particular is worth noting, but it's hiding in plain sight so most iPhone and iPad users won't even notice it's there. Apple engineer Renaud Lienhart‏ tweeted on Monday afternoon about something that we mentioned in passing in our post covering the best new features in iOS 10.3. "iOS 10.3 feels 'snappier,'" he said, "because many animations were slightly tweaked & shortened, for the better." https://twitter.com/NotoriousBUGS/status/846539233305124865 Long story short, Apple has made a number of small adjustments to the animations that are played when the user does things like opening an app, closing an app, or switching from one app to another. Longtime iPhone users may recall that Apple did something similar back in 2014 with iOS 7.1. The speed difference back then was much more dramatic and noticeable, but the improvements in iOS 10.3 are still nothing to scoff at. If you have an iPhone or iPad and haven't yet updated to iOS 10.3, a faster UI should be reason enough to install the update as soon as you can. iOS 10.3 is available to download in iTunes, or as an over the air (OTA) update accessing in the Settings app by navigating to General > Software Update.
