New case leaks give us another peek at Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 Posted: 04 Jul 2017 11:53 AM PDT The questions surrounding Samsung's upcoming new Galaxy Note 8 continues to become less of a mystery with each passing day. Following a string of specs leaks, BGR exclusively leaked the Note 8's final design late last month. According to our sources, Samsung's upcoming new flagship phablet will feature a look similar to the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, but with a few key refinements. The screen-to-body ratio will likely be even more impressive on the Galaxy Note 8 than the 83% figure Samsung achieved on the S8 duo, and there will be a new dual-lens camera setup on the back. Sadly, there's still a fingerprint scanner on the back as well, and it's still peculiarly positioned next to the camera cluster. We've seen it before but as hot as Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 8 is shaping up to be, it can't hurt to take another look. Now, thanks to a pair of Note 8 case leaks, we can do just that. We have two recent leaks to share that show renders of Samsung's unreleased Galaxy Note 8 in third-party cases. The first comes from a Weibo user whose name translates to "I ice universe," and he's been known in the past to be the source of genuine leaks. This time around, he has a number of renders from a case maker called Senfeng that give us a pretty clear look at the front of the Note 8, as well as the camera and fingerprint sensor cluster on the back. The same Weibo user also shared a series of actual photos of a third-party Galaxy Note 8 case, and it reinforces the design elements we've seen leak a number of times now. And finally, he posted one last render of the bottom of the Note 8 in a third-party protective case. If that last image turns out to be the real deal, it reaffirms the notion that Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack. We all know it's on borrowed time, of course, but at least it has a stay of execution for the time being. Samsung is expected to unveil the new Galaxy Note 8 in late August ahead of its release in early September.

Why has Iran's investment gold rush been so slow to emerge? Posted: 03 Jul 2017 06:33 AM PDT When Iran signed its landmark deal with world powers in 2015, curbing its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief, many expected an investment gold rush.

Hotel group Accor says it is working on 10 to 15 projects in Iran, hoping to capitalise on the tourism boom since the nuclear deal.

Dude uses Google Autocomplete to help him fill out resumé, will definitely never get a job Posted: 03 Jul 2017 04:36 AM PDT Writing your CV is one of life's necessary — but highly time-consuming — evils. And, many of us take all the help we can get.  SEE ALSO: Irish teens sing 'Despacito' in Gaelic and they're better than Bieber London-based author Aaron Gillies decided to let Google Autocomplete give him a hand in updating his CV.

Sorry Aaron, but we're not sure these skills are the right fit for any job.  Gillies listed his date of birth as "born to love you," a detail I'm not entirely sure any employer would be comfortable with.  I needed to update my CV so I did it all through google autocomplete and soon I will have every job pic.twitter.com/pjCBtUhtmw — TechnicallyRon (@TechnicallyRon) June 29, 2017 Gillies also noted that he is "good at nothing," a statement which — though refreshingly honest — isn't going to land him a job anywhere anytime soon.  His core competencies include his belief that "children are our future," and his experience includes once seeing an elephant and being "the chosen one".  "I am trained in gorilla warfare and I can prove it mathematically," reads Gillies' professional qualifications.  "Please hire me. I need money so I can purchase apps on my iPhone," Gillies continues.  You and me both, pal.  WATCH: Emma Roberts draws Dave Franco in a dress and heels in this crayon masterpiece
