Posted: 18 Jun 2017 08:58 PM PDT

Boeing, Airbus to battle it out at Paris Air ShowThe aircraft industry descends on Paris for the world's biggest airshow Monday, which sees bitter rivals Boeing and Airbus battle for contracts as newcomers snap at the heels of the two giants. Single-aisle planes for short and medium distances are the hottest ticket in the world's civil aviation industry, with airline demand for models in the Airbus A320 family giving the European company an edge, for now, over its American opponent, which is racing to return in force to the mid-range segment. Boeing, meanwhile, is to showcase the 737 Max 9 model as its anti-Airbus weapon in a market segment where squeezing a few more seats into a narrow-body cabin while eking out increased fuel efficiency over greater ranges is key.

Teen slams hypocritical school dress code in the perfect senior quoteHigh school senior Tori DiPaolo is now a hero on Twitter for using her senior quote to fight sexism.

Qatar demands 'blockade' lifted before Gulf crisis talksQatar's foreign minister on Monday called on neighbouring states to lift their "blockade" of his country before Doha takes part in any negotiations on ending the Gulf diplomatic crisis. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani called measures to isolate Qatar imposed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and others "an act of aggression", adding that lifting them was a "pre-condition" for talks.

Design video explains almost every OnePlus 5 detail

Design video explains almost every OnePlus 5 detail

With one day to go until one of the most exciting smartphones of the summer becomes official, there's not much that we don't know about it. And thanks to a new video that looks at OnePlus's reasoning for designing the OnePlus 5, we now know why the handset looks like the iPhone 7 Plus but not the iPhone 8. We also know that it's going to be more expensive than last year's OnePlus flagships.

Talking to The Verge about making the OnePlus 5, various execs explained that the company's main goal this year is to make a great camera, one that can rival the camera experience on iPhone or top Samsung devices.

OnePlus apparently thought about equipping last year's OnePlus 3 with a dual camera, but the endeavor was too expensive. Or it was too expensive to inform the public why such a camera works. In the video below, you'll see OnePlus CEO Pete Lau thanking Apple for doing that last year.

You're also going to see a bunch of OnePlus 5 prototypes that don't look like the iPhone 7 Plus, yet the one that does, was ultimately chosen. "It's a little difficult to make two cameras, two holes in the back not look ugly," OnePlus Simon Liu says in the video.

Speaking of expensive decisions, Lau also told The Verge that it's interested in edge-to-edge screen designs. "But we don't currently have the resources or access to those displays," he said. That's why the phone will not look like the Galaxy S8 or the iPhone 8.

Finally, the video also reveals that the OnePlus 5 will be more expensive than its predecessors. How much will it cost? We'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

5 Surprising Ways to Get Most Value Out of Your Grill

5 Surprising Ways to Get Most Value Out of Your GrillBecause of the relatively long cook time, you won't want to do this next to fast-cooking items such as burgers or hot dogs, but if you're cooking something for a longer period, bread works wonderfully on the grill. The beans may need a bit more cooking later, but this technique will do most of the cooking for you. If you're cooking something low and slow, you might just find that the beans are done and ready to use with a side dish when the main course is done, making a pairing like black beans and barbecued ribs work out perfectly.


Georgia special election: Democrats bidding to humiliate Donald Trump in historic vote

Georgia special election: Democrats bidding to humiliate Donald Trump in historic voteAs Jon Ossoff sprang into a campaign office on the eve of the most closely watched – and costliest – special election in history, there were few clues on the 30-year-old's face that he had been shaking hands and banging on doors all year. If he does emerge as the victor, it would be the first time a Democrat has won Georgia's 6th congressional district in four decades. The polite and humble former documentary filmmaker has been careful throughout his campaign – situated in the green suburbs north of Atlanta – to avoid being overly critical of Donald Trump.

Reliable insider suggests the Galaxy Note 7 will launch sooner than we thought

Reliable insider suggests the Galaxy Note 7 will launch sooner than we thought

After a series of reports said that Samsung intends to unveil the Galaxy Note 8 in late August or early September, around the IFA tech event in Berlin, Germany, a new leak says the phone will be out even sooner than that.

Chinese leaker of Weibo fame Ice Universe said on Monday that Samsung has already settled on the Galaxy Note 8's launch date. Apparently, the Galaxy Note 8 will be unveiled in New York City during the third week of August in New York City.

If accurate, it means the Galaxy Note 8 will be unveiled anywhere between August 14th and August 20th, which would be up to two weeks earlier than the most recent estimates. Let's just hope that rushing to market to beat Apple's newest iPhone, a strategy that killed the Galaxy Note 7 last year, will work this time around.

The same leaker posted on Twitter an image that shows an alleged screen protector for the handset, that indicates the Galaxy Note 8 will have an Infinity display with extremely thin bezels, just like the Galaxy S8 before it. The phone is also expected to share some of the Galaxy S8's specs, although it'll have a few unique features, including a dual lens camera and a built-in S Pen stylus.

https://twitter.com/UniverseIce/status/875731253726556162

Before the Galaxy Note 8 arrives, Samsung will relaunch last year's failed Galaxy Note 7 as the Galaxy Note FE. The safe phablet will sport the same design and hardware as its predecessor. The only thing that's going to be changed is the battery.
