SEE ALSO: China debuts driverless train that only needs white painted lines as tracks According to CNN, the Madrid Municipal Transport Company created a warning icon similar to NYC's "Dude, Stop the Spread, Please" campaign, which encourages bus riders to please keep their legs to one seat, and one seat only.  Madrid's anti-manspreading iconImage: EMT Madrid"This new icon's mission is to remind people of the need to keep a civil behavior and respect the space of everyone on the bus," the Madrid Municipal Transport Company said. "This new icon is similar to those already existing in other transport systems around the world to indicate the barring of body posture that bothers other people." The transportation agency's decision to stop the spread came after months of campaigning by women's rights groups. One group called Mujeres en Lucha started the campaign #MadridSinManspreading (#MadridWithoutManspreading) for the good of women everywhere who've had their seat taken over by a man's wandering knee.  Men, close your legs or get off the bus.

Bear stuck in a strong current gets sucked into a waterfall Posted: 09 Jun 2017 12:07 PM PDT A camper in Yosemite National Park witnessed an embarrassing moment for a juvenile bear.  Backpackers stumbled across two bears near a river on Tuesday. Naturally, the backpackers tried to avoid the bears, but when one bear entered the water, things took a turn for the worse.  The current was much stronger than the bear likely anticipated, and after a bit of a struggle, the bear was sucked down a small falls and rocketed into a section of strong rapids below.  "I started laughing when I initially realize it's fighting hard against the current," the cameraman wrote in the video description. Soon his laughter turned into worry. "By the time the bear and I both realize it's not getting out, the current has already sucked the bear down the waterfall behind me and shoots the whitewater rapids tumbling end over end until the video ends." The uploader says that he were expecting the worst, so he stopped filming. Thankfully, it appears as if the bear made it out of the rapids alive. The uploader wrote that after he stopped recording, he saw the bear exit the river safely.

Amazon axes unlimited Drive storage Posted: 08 Jun 2017 08:06 PM PDT For a little while now, Amazon Drive has quietly had one of the best deals around for large amounts of cloud storage. For $60 a year, you could get unlimited storage for any of your files, which is an objectively unbeatable deal. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and Amazon is now capping the storage for its $60-a-year program at 1TB. That ain't bad, but it also means your dreams of archiving Wikipedia in the sky are going to be a lot more expensive. There are now two tiers of storage: 100GB for $12 a year, or 1TB for $60. Every extra TB of storage on top of that costs another $60, with the total capping out at 30TB. Those are good and competitive pricing tiers, but older subscribers who moved all of their files and movies to Amazon's cloud with the promise of unlimited storage are going to be rightly peeved. There's another thing longtime subscribers are going to have to watch out for: the auto-renew. Anyone currently signed up for unlimited storage will have their plan switched over to the 1TB/$60-per-month deal when their current subscription runs out, so you'll want to change that if you don't want to stay with Amazon. The one piece of good news is that anyone signed up for Amazon Prime still gets free unlimited photo storage, and anyone who signs up for Amazon Drive still gets 5GB of data for free.

99-million-year-old bird found preserved in amber stuns scientists Posted: 09 Jun 2017 11:00 AM PDT Archeologists have just discovered a nearly complete bird, encased in fossilized tree sap, that has remained intact for almost 100 million years. The bird, which was just a few days old at the time of its death, is one of the most stunningly preserved examples of pre-history avian life ever recovered — but this is no ordinary bird. The dream of resurrecting dinosaurs from their ancient remains, like in Jurassic Park, might be nothing more than science fiction, but one aspect of the pseudoscience depicted in the film franchise is actually quite true: archaeologists regularly find prehistoric bugs and other small creatures perfectly preserved in amber. This newly-discovered fossil, which was located in Burma, includes half of the bird's entire body, including a wing, claws, and head. Unlike modern birds, this newborn hatchling is from a now-extinct branch of the family tree called Enantiornithines. Researchers say they would have looked a lot like modern-day avians, with the exception of some added features such as claws on their wing tips and small teeth tucked away in their beaks. The fossil has already taught researchers a lot about the ancient species. They've determined that birds like these were able to take care of themselves much earlier than most modern bird species, thanks to fully developed flight feathers at the time of their hatching, suggesting that they could take to the skies immediately rather than being confined to a nest for the early part of their lives. The amber treasure will soon be put on display at the Shanghai Museum of Natural History until the end of July.

Boeing and Iran's Aseman finalise $3bn deal for 30 jets Posted: 10 Jun 2017 04:55 AM PDT Iran's Aseman Airlines has finalised an agreement to buy 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets for $3.0 billion, the company said Saturday, with an option to buy 30 more.

Comey testimony raises questions over Trump acts amid Russia probe Posted: 09 Jun 2017 04:06 AM PDT Washington buzzed with new questions Friday after ousted FBI director James Comey accused President Donald Trump of lies and defamation, in gripping testimony that undermined an already troubled White House.

Detailing one-on-one talks with a sitting president -- which under normal circumstances are private -- Comey said he took painstaking notes for fear Trump might "lie" about the unusual encounters.

Can you live with an iPhone 8 that looks like this? Posted: 09 Jun 2017 10:31 AM PDT Now that Apple has released iOS 11 into the wild, designers working on iPhone 8 concepts don't have to imagine operating system features and can create renders that are even more realistic. Add to that the most common iPhone 8 rumors and leaks, and you may end up with an iPhone 8 concept that foreshadows the real thing. Someone did exactly that, and the end result is equally impressive and troubling at the same time. A constant source of iPhone 8 leaks, including conflicting reports about Apple's next iPhone release is Twitter user Benjamin Geskin. And while he's yet to prove himself as a leaker, he certainly can create sleek renders based on available information. In his latest series of images, he used the iPhone 8 design that most rumors agree on at this point, and merged it with iOS 11 screenshots. As you can see in the following images, it all looks great until you realize there's a massive problem staring you in the face. That area where the front-facing cameras and sensors are occupies a huge chunk of the front side of the display, and it needs to go. Or, if it's meant to stay, then Apple has to figure out exactly how to redesign iOS 11 so that the camera assembly fits nicely with iOS 11. An iPhone 8 running iOS 11 as suggested in these images is hideous. Just look at the time, which is usually placed in the center of the top bar. That just can't happen. It'd be even uglier than any questionable Apple decision has made in the past. One of the first things we noticed when Apple unveiled iOS 11 was the reintroduction of the antenna bars that replace the dots used in iOS 10. Apple may have done that to free up some space in the middle of the screen for that camera assembly. Apple also changed the way you open the notification pane on the phone — swiping up will open them on the lock screen — which may also have something to do with the central position of the complex camera system. But I can only hope that the final iPhone 8 design will not ruin iOS 11's appearance like that. There are ways to fix it, such as including the entire camera assembly under the display if such a thing is technologically possible right now, or reducing the size of the camera system. Alternatively, we can always live with bigger top and bottom bezels than what's shown in these images. As great as bezel-less designs are, I'm pretty convinced that we can still cope with bezels that are a few millimeters taller if it means getting a phone without that hideous cutout.

Hamas denies it built tunnel under UN schools in Gaza Posted: 10 Jun 2017 06:10 AM PDT Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas has denied that it or any other militant group built a tunnel under two UN schools in Gaza after its discovery drew a strong UN protest.

On June 1, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) found "part of a tunnel that passes under two adjacent agency schools in the Maghazi camp" during construction work, spokesman Christopher Gunness said on Friday.
