| Here’s the three new Nokia Android phones you’ve been waiting for Posted: 26 Feb 2017 09:26 AM PST  About five years too late, Nokia has finally entered the Android market. It's probably not quite what you were expecting: the phones really come from Nokia's new Finnish owner, HMD Global. But hey, they're Nokia phones running Android, and they look half-decent, so who are we to complain? Things get better when you hear about the design decisions HMD has been making. Just a few small companies (and Motorola) have done in the past, HMD is shipping all three phones with pure Android, no gimmicks, no bundled apps, and no bungled re-skinning. The three devices are called the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. The specs and price increase along with the number, but all three handsets look distinctly mid-range. It starts with the Nokia 3, the most basic of the new devices. It's featuring a 5-inch display up front, generic quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM underneath, and 16GB of storage, expandable with a microSD.  The design looks a lot like the Nokia we've recently become familiar with: curved edges, a polycarbonate frame, and most of the flair coming from color. It's not a bad design, normally, but in a world of aluminum unibody, it's sorely in danger of feeling cheap. That's exactly what the Nokia 3 is, though, as it should be available in the spring for around $150. Just like the new 3310, there's a range of colors for you to choose from.  The Nokia 5 looks like a small step up in price, but hits a much more attractive place with the specs. Ther's a 5.2-inch display, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a Wualcomm Snapdragon 430 underneath. That's a decent amount of power for a mid-range Android device, and especially given that it's running a naked version of Android with no bloat, should be enough for most day-to-day use. The polycarbonate body is also upgraded to aluminum, which helps with a more premium feel. It still looks to have a lot of bezel compared to this year's crop of smartphones, but at the price of the 5, you can lett that go. It should be shipping in Q2 for $200, which is a steal for a serious low-end handset these days. There's also one other piece of classic Nokia to be found in the 5's hardware: a 13-megapixel camera at the back and 6-megapixel front-facing camera. Provided that these are good lenses and not just gratuitously thrown on there to save the spec sheet, that could mean that Nokia's legendary mobile cameras are back for good.  Finally, we've got the Nokia 6. It many ways, it's similar to the 5: aluminum body, Snapdragon 430 processor, but the screen has been upgraded to 5.5-inches and the RAM to 3GB. The camera also gets a small bump to 16 megapixels. There's also a limited edition available with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, if that really catches your eye. It's still not priced anywhere close to flagship smartphone pricing, with the regular version running about $250. None of these phones are going to change the world or compete with a new iPhone, but it looks to be a solid first step back into the phone-making business for Nokia. We'll have to wait and see how sales actually go -- for low-end phones like these, it will probably depend if they can get into any carrier retail stores -- but the future looks a little brighter for Nokia after today.

The Oceti Sakowin camp in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, was cleared by law enforcement on Thursday and almost 50 people, many of them Native Americans and environmental activists, were arrested. The number of demonstrators had dwindled from the thousands who poured into the camp starting in August to oppose the pipeline that critics say threatens the water resources and sacred land of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

| South Carolina Republican's town hall starts rowdy, ends peaceably Posted: 25 Feb 2017 04:00 PM PST ![South Carolina Republican's town hall starts rowdy, ends peaceably]( "South Carolina Republican's town hall starts rowdy, ends peaceably") By Harriet McLeod NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Tim Scott faced a quandary on Saturday in hosting his town hall: he promised to meet with his South Carolina constituents, but he wanted to avoid the kind of adversarial free-for-all so many Republicans encountered this week. Scott decided to ban placards from his North Charlestown meeting in hopes of averting the raucousness that erupted at dozens of town halls during the first congressional recess of Donald Trump's month-old presidency. The senator also required the crowd submit questions in writing ahead of time after other Republican lawmakers faced a wave of anger on issues ranging from Trump's immigration and healthcare policies to the president's ties to Russia.

| Official Samsung teaser confirms the Galaxy S8 will launch March 29th Posted: 26 Feb 2017 11:12 AM PST  In an otherwise tablet-dominated press release in Barcelona, Samsung found 15 seconds to tease its next big smartphone for all of us. As expected, we're going to have to wait a month longer for the Galaxy S8 launch, but it could well be worth it. A Samsung invite sent out confirms that the launch event is going to happen in New York City on March 29th. Until then, this teaser trailer is all we've got to go on. https://twitter.com/SamMobiles/status/835927473896435713 The teaser takes us through the history of the cellphone, beginning in the 1980s. It's a showcase of design, decade-by-decade, with the oh-so-subtle hint being that the Galaxy S8 is going to dominate 2017. If we're really reading into it, the teaser also seems to confirm that there will be very little bezel on the side, no physical home buttons (or buttons of any kind), and some kind of symmetrical bezel top and bottom. That lines up pretty well with what the rumors have suggested so far. One thing we're still completely in the dark about is the number of devices that Samsung is going to reveal. We're expecting to see the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ at this event, but Samsung has only hinted at the one device so far. https://youtu.be/Ozng2cTF8_0

| Interview: Secret messaging app Confide wins new fans in the Trump era Posted: 25 Feb 2017 11:15 AM PST 
It started with an email, which led to a swapping of voicemails, which led to several days of back and forth until the two professionals trying to connect with each other finally decided -- this is taking too long; it shouldn't have to be this hard to communicate. So they did what any technology-minded executive with means would do in that scenario. They launched an app. It was back in 2013, and the result was Confide, a secret messaging app -- Snapchat for professionals, as they like to call it -- whose chats self-destruct after they've been read. Four years on, the service has raised $3.4 million, is available in 15 different languages and works across major platforms from iOS to Android to PCs. Its profile has also skyrocketed in recent weeks -- not due, really, to efforts from the company, which doesn't have much in the way of an advertising or marketing push to speak of. No, Confide is in the counterintuitive position of being a secret messaging service dealing with a gush of notoriety because -- well, ok, like so much of the news these days, there's a Trump connection in there somewhere. Anyone who's gotten whatever the news audience equivalent is of whiplash from trying to keep up with the head-spinning pace of news out of the Trump administration will already be clued in to this: not all of the press, shall we say, has painted the newest occupant of the White House in the most flattering of lights. And some of that coverage has been stoked by leaks from within the mighty bowels of the country's great ship of state. Trump tweeted on Feb. 16 that the hunt was on for "low-life leakers!" That's helped spawn a culture of secrecy throughout the administration, as staffers have reportedly begun taking steps to cover their tracks and communicate using Confide. Talk about an unexpected journey. Confide co-founder Jon Brod says they set out to help business people communicate securely. Now worried staffers are using it to keep themselves away from the scrutiny of the leader of the free world. From the beginning, Brod tells BGR, "what we realized was the permanent digital record of the Internet is truly an impediment to efficiency and is dangerous as it relates to sensitive communication. "And so we said -- Snapchat was gaining some popularity at that point and was getting people comfortable with the notion of ephemerality. And we sort of said, huh, what if we could apply some of those principles of security and ephemerality to communications particularly among professionals and business people. Wouldn't that solve some interesting problems and create a private and efficient way to communicate." The app he went on to co-found has tended to see spikes in use around big hacks and other security-related events like the Sony Pictures breach in 2014. Confide keeps user numbers close to the vest, but lately Brod says every month has been producing new record highs for the service -- and while the U.S. is its biggest market, usage overseas also represents a significant chunk of the business. Usage of Confide among GOP operatives and staffers to send messages securely -- which was reported by the digital political news outlet Axios -- has brought the service new recognition. That recognition will help with the go-forward game plan, which includes bringing Confide to additional platforms along with an even higher-level goal. Brod wants to see the brand reach the ubiquity of something like "follow us on Twitter" or "Like us on Facebook." Maybe one day, he hopes, people will say with the same familiarity, "send with Confide." Again, with a focus on business profiles -- we are to Snapchat, Brod says, what LinkedIn is to Facebook. Among other quick facts about Confide: - The service says its message encryption is based on the PGP standard.
- It's designed to detect and prevent screenshots.
- All messages between Confide can only be decrypted using a private key which is generated on, and never leaves, the user's device, according to the company.
- The team has both employed and contracted with engineers who Brod says have "strong security and cryptography backgrounds."
- The company uses "standard encryption protocols" and, following the example of other messengers like WhatsApp and iMessage, does not open source its code.
"If you think about conversations throughout history, they were the spoken word, whether through a face-to-face meeting or a phone call," Brod says. "And in those conversations, you generally know who you're speaking to, and only the intended recipient can hear those conversations. And then after the words are spoken, they disappear. "With the advent of digital communication, all of that got turned on its head. And now everything you communicate digitally is archived forever in the Internet's permanent record. While that's really good for innocuous conversations, because it allows you to communicate on any device, in real time, it's exactly those characteristics and those copies that make it vulnerable and dangerous for sensitive communication. So that's how we think about the business." And about what's next for getting users to confide in, well, Confide.

| Jerk alligator steals a huge fish off a little boy's line Posted: 26 Feb 2017 07:07 AM PST  Today, a little boy named Connor learned the brutal lesson that Mother Nature has no manners. In a clip posted to the Bass Masters And Fish Experts Facebook Page, a thieving alligator had an easy lunch thanks to some humans fishing off a pier. In the clip, a young boy hooks a pretty sizable fish, and as one man encourages the boy to reel in the fish all on his own, another spots an alligator lurking near the pier. The man tries to distract the gator by hitting the side of the pier with his arm, but the reptile was determined to get its eats. "You need to cut your line," one the of the men tells the little boy as the gator swims away with his catch. Although it's unclear where the incident occurred, many commenters insisted it happened in Florida. [h/t: UPI] BONUS: Giant nets harvest fog to solve water crisis in Morocco
