Trump slams Obama, demands &#39;apology&#39; over Russia probe

Posted: 26 Jun 2017 09:58 AM PDT

Trump slams Obama, demands 'apology' over Russia probeUS President Donald Trump on Monday demanded an apology over the Russia investigation rocking his presidency, as he kept up a days-long attack on Barack Obama for his handling of intelligence about election meddling by Moscow. Trump's young administration has been consumed by allegations -- under investigation both by Congress and the FBI, and furiously denied by the Republican president -- that members of his campaign team colluded with a Russian effort to tip the electoral scales in his favor. The Washington Post's recent publication of a behind-the-scenes account of Obama's reportedly hesitant response to the Russian threat has triggered a stream of angry tweets and televised attacks from Trump on his predecessor.

Eric Christopher Conn, 56, used a fake passport to flee to a country he did not identify, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader, which said it exchanged emails with a person it identified as Conn. The paper said on Sunday that person answered correctly questions only Conn would know. Scott White, Conn's attorney, could not be reached by Reuters for comment, but he told the newspaper that he also received emails from that same address, from a person he believed to be Conn.

Latest huge Galaxy Note 8 leak points to troubling trend in 2017

Latest huge Galaxy Note 8 leak points to troubling trend in 2017

Late last week, a blogger with a very strong track record leaked a slew of details surrounding Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 8. According to the report, Samsung's hotly anticipated new flagship phablet will feature killers specs highlighted by a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display with the same 18.5:9 aspect ratio as the Galaxy S8, 6GB of RAM, Exynos 8895 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipsets depending on region, dual 12-megapixel rear cameras, a 3,300 mAh battery, and an updated S Pen stylus with new features. All of that sounds like terrific news, but there was one other detail offered in the report that isn't very good news: The Galaxy Note 8's price.

According to the report — which, again, comes from a source in a position to know — the Galaxy Note 8 will launch with a €999 price point in Europe. In other words, after taxes the Note 8 will retail for more than €1,000. In the United States, the leak suggests a likely price tag of "a little over $900," which would put the price of the Galaxy Note 8 at just under $1,000 after taxes.

Welcome to the era of the $1,000 smartphone.

Apple has been known as a trendsetter for decades, but the company appears to have started a troubling trend last year when it increased the price of each iPhone 7 Plus tier by $20. Samsung's Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus would be the next phones to launch with heftier than normal price tags, and multiple rumors have suggested that the upcoming iPhone 8 will cost around $1,000 when it's released later this year. Now, it appears as though the Galaxy Note 8 can be added to the growing list of current and flagship phones with monstrous price tags.

Pricing always increases for everything over time, so why is it so troubling that leading flagship phones are getting more expensive? Let's consider the two companies currently pushing up smartphone prices.

Apple is the most valuable company in the world, and it's also the most profitable consumer electronics company in history. That record-shattering profitability is thanks almost entirely to the company's iPhone lineup, which provides margins that are borderline obscene. Meanwhile, Samsung posted a net profit of $6.8 billion in the most recent quarter, and that was even before the company's new Galaxy S8 flagship phones were released. Do these companies really need to fleece customers even more than they're already being fleeced?

The problem, of course, is that the demand is there. Plenty of other smartphone makers are selling comparable phones at much lower prices, but not many people in tier 1 smartphone markets seem to care. In the US, for example, those insanely expensive smartphones are paid for in monthly installments so the price tags are far less daunting. Worst of all, sky-high sales numbers despite the recent price increases mean we can likely expect this troubling trend to continue for the foreseeable future.


SeaWorld under federal investigation over impact of the &apos;Blackfish&apos; documentary about orcas in captivity

Posted: 26 Jun 2017 04:18 AM PDT

SeaWorld under federal investigation over impact of the 'Blackfish' documentary about orcas in captivitySeaWorld is being investigated by two US federal agencies investigating disclosures and public statements by executives, including comments about the Blackfish documentary, which led to a public backlash against keeping orcas in enclosures. Shares in the Florida based company fell 33 per cent on a single day in August 2014 when the theme park operator blamed the scrutiny of its treatment of animals for reported earnings that missed analysts' estimates. Blackfish, which was released in 2013, led activists to claim SeaWorld was keeping the creatures in small tanks instead of pens at sea.

Someone put Drake in a movie because his &apos;Get Out&apos; Steph Curry parody is absolutely perfect

Someone put Drake in a movie because his 'Get Out' Steph Curry parody is absolutely perfectIn addition to the new songs Drake's been churning out, the Canadian rapper took some time to host the NBA Awards. During his hosting gig, he flexed his acting chops with hilarious skits—one that poked fun of everyone's favorite point guard.  Drake mocked Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry's home-loving lifestyle with a Get Out parody, using themes from the critically acclaimed horror film to explain for why he's never out partying with the rest of the team.   SEE ALSO: Kevin Durant and Steph Curry's moms adorably celebrated their sons' Game 3 win together Kylie Bunbury from Pitch and Lil Rel of Get Out fame join Drake to poke fun at Ayesha Curry and Draymond Green, respectively. In this hilarious skit, 'Green' tries to persuade 'Steph' to celebrate his win with the Warriors, while 'Ayesha' has other plans (that involves tea and "the sunken place").  Drake is close friends with the Curry's so despite this perfect dig, it's safe to say his dinner invites are probably still intact.  WATCH: IKEA's new adult coloring sheets are actually foolproof recipe posters for aspiring cooks
