Comcast says it will not sell customer browsing histories

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 11:15 AM PDT

Comcast says it will not sell customer browsing historiesBy David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Comcast Corp said Friday it would not sell customers' individual internet browsing information, days after the U.S. Congress approved legislation reversing Obama administration era internet privacy rules. The bill would repeal regulations adopted in October by the Federal Communications Commission under the Obama administration requiring internet service providers to do more to protect customers' privacy than websites like Alphabet Inc's Google or Facebook Inc. The easing of restrictions has sparked growing anger on social media sites. "We do not sell our broadband customers' individual web browsing history. We did not do it before the FCC's rules were adopted, and we have no plans to do so," said Gerard Lewis, Comcast's chief privacy officer.

Treasury head Mnuchin writes to ethics office: I shouldn't have plugged ‘Lego Batman Movie’

Treasury head Mnuchin writes to ethics office: I shouldn't have plugged 'Lego Batman Movie'Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin attempted to get ahead of a potential Lego-related violation Friday with a letter to the Office for Government Ethics. Last week during an interview with the website Axios, Mnuchin answered a question asking if he had any movie recommendations by urging people to see "The Lego Batman Movie." The suggestion was potentially troublesome because he was an executive producer on the film, with his name one of the first to appear in the film's closing credits.


Trump administration appeals latest ruling blocking travel ban

Trump administration appeals latest ruling blocking travel banThe Donald Trump administration appealed the ruling of a US federal judge who maintained his freeze on the president's revised travel ban. The Justice Department's filing means the case will land back at the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld a halt of Trump's first travel ban before the US president revised it. The appeal comes a day after US District Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii dealt another blow to the White House, issuing a longer-lasting suspension of the president's travel restrictions by changing it from a temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction.

U.S. priority on Syria no longer focused on 'getting Assad out': HaleyBy Michelle Nichols NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States' diplomatic policy on Syria for now is no longer focused on making the war-torn country's president, Bashar al-Assad, leave power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said on Thursday, in a departure from the Obama administration's initial and public stance on Assad's fate. The view of the Trump administration is also at odds with European powers, who insist Assad must step down. "You pick and choose your battles and when we're looking at this, it's about changing up priorities and our priority is no longer to sit there and focus on getting Assad out," U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told a small group of reporters.

These two Alexa-enabled smart thermostats cost way less than Google's Nest

Remember how exciting it was when the first Nest Learning Thermostat came out? Holy moly it can adjust your temperature automatically based on your habits and preferences! It'll save you so much money! Those features are still compelling, of course, but they're no longer advantages for the Nest. Rivals have caught up with the Nest, and even surpassed it in some ways. But the biggest blow is the fact that rival offerings are so much more affordable.

In this post you'll find two smart thermostats that are as good or even better than Nest, but they cost much less. One is the 2nd-generation Ecobee3 Thermostat with Sensor, which is on sale for $50 off right now on Amazon. Then you've got the even more affordable Sensi Smart Thermostat, which is even cheaper. And best of all, both models work with Amazon Alexa!

Ecobee3 Thermostat with Sensor

  • Works with Amazon Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)
  • Smart, really smart - intuitively understands when to turn on your heating or cooling equipment based on your home's unique energy profile, the weather outside, and thousands of other data points to make sure you're comfortable at all times
  • Knows you have a life - senses whether anyone's home and which rooms are occupied, delivering comfort when you're at home and saving you energy and money when you're not
  • Lowers your energy bills - ecobee saves homeowners an average of 23%* annually, paying for itself in energy savings (*Learn more at ecobee.com/savings)
  • Homekit-enabled Ecobee3 - the world's first homekit-enabled smart thermostat - is an evolution of our previous Ecobee3 smarter wi-fi thermostat.

Trump's comments Thursday appeared to herald a return to a tougher line from the president, who took a hawkish tone on the Asian giant in the weeks after his election before softening his rhetoric. "The meeting next week with China will be a very difficult one," Trump tweeted, in apparent reference to a Xi visit planned for next week in Mar-a-Lago.

US warns Israel on 'unrestrained' settlement building

US warns Israel on 'unrestrained' settlement buildingThe United States warned Friday that "unrestrained" building of settler homes could hinder peace, after Israel approved a new settlement in the occupied West Bank for the first time in a quarter century. The Palestinians reacted angrily at what is widely seen as the most right-wing government in Israeli history presses ahead with settlement expansion in defiance of international concern. US President Donald Trump's administration refrained from criticising the new settlement, which was approved by the Israeli security cabinet late Thursday, but warned that further expansion could undermine peace efforts.

Strong iPhone 7 sales saved Apple’s manufacturer from record decline

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 04:04 PM PDT

Strong iPhone 7 sales saved Apple's manufacturer from record decline

The fate of Apple and Foxconn, its gargantuan Chinese manufacturing partner, are closely linked. When iPhone and iPad sales flatlined a little around the iPhone 6s era, Foxconn slipped into decline. From Q3 2015 to Q3 2016, Foxconn's revenue was declining on a year-by-year basis. With little structural change in the business, a decline was expected for the fourth quarter of 2016. But once again, analysts underestimated the iPhone 7.

Net profit was up 30 percent for Foxconn compared to the same quarter in 2015, a major jump by any measure. The fact that it beat analysts' predictions of a loss -- and beat it by $660 million -- shows how far off some predictions were. Net profit was T$68.77 billion ($2.26 billion), up from T$52.93 billion in Q4 2015, according to Reuters.

The turnaround was mostly attributed to increased iPhone sales. Apple drives about half of Foxconn's profits, so it makes sense that Apple's record shipment of iPhones in Q4 last year would see Foxconn turn around sharply. Other investments, such as Foxconn's in-house manufacturing robots division and its purchase of screen-maker Sharp, are also starting to pay dividends.

With a strong 2016 final quarter on record, Foxconn is now well set up for a record year. Apple is expected to release three new iPhone models this year, including updates to the iPhone 7 generation and an all-new iPhone 8 (also referred to as the iPhone Edition or iPhone X). Those updates promise a growth in the number of iPhone sales overall, and if the iPhone 8 actually sells for more than $1,000 as has been rumored, the profit margin on every iPhone could also go up.

Add in a revamped iPad line with a new budget model, and things are looking rosy for Foxconn.

Things we wish our pets could say

Posted: 01 Apr 2017 01:00 PM PDT

Things we wish our pets could sayPets are magical, whimsical mysteries that come into our lives to make us less miserable. Without pets, we'd just live with humans and honestly, who really wants to do that?  If you're like us, whenever you look at your cat or dog (or ferret, if that's your thing) and stare into those big eyes, you can't help but wonder what they're thinking. You feel like there are thoughts and words behind the facade, but alas, animals can't talk and we're left wondering what they would say if they could say anything.  SEE ALSO: This transparent bowl swing is what cat dreams are made of Communicating with and understanding your pets is frustrating and we just wish it were easier. If they could talk, here's what we'd want them to say. "Hi." We greet our pets every time we catch a view of them, so they should greet us back.  "Hi..." Image: justin sullivan/Getty Images "I love you." Obviously, this would make our hearts melt. Pet owners could hear this over and over again and never get tired of it. We usually question if our pets really like us. This way, we'll always know.  Image: David mcnew/Getty Images "I don't feel well."  Nothing is more heartbreaking than knowing something is wrong with your pet, but not knowing exactly what it is. They are your fur babies, so knowing how they're feeling will would be super helpful and would put our minds at ease.  "Don't touch me." Apparently, a pet showing you their belly isn't always an invitation to touch it, but we do it anyway. Maybe they're just stretching. Maybe they're just mean. It might not be something we want to hear, but something we need to hear. This cat clearly doesn't want to be touched. Image: wang he/Getty Images "Seriously, don't touch me." Just in case we do it again, which we probably will because we can't help it. "Please put me down." If you're like us, you pick up your pet every time you pass them them on the way to the kitchen. Imagine if someone picked you up literally every time they saw you. Seriously, think about it. Maybe hearing them say they don't like it will make you stop and will make your pet love you more. Or not. They could just be mean. Birds are pets, too. Image: Cultura/REX/Shutterstock "Let's listen to this cool new podcast I just found instead." Animals have to do something more than sleeping and eating when we're not around, right? Don't they get bored? We think they snoop around on our computers when we're gone and find cool things to occupy their time. Though we're over taking suggestions from other people on what podcasts are ~hip~ at the moment, we'd surely take them from our pets. They know us best. "I love this sweater you've put me in." How great would it be to know that your pets actually like it when you dress them up? They look so cute! Now you can organize that pet Halloween party you've always wanted to plan, but was never quite sure about. "Does this coat make me look fat?" Image: China photos/Getty Images "Why?" Image: junko kimura/Getty Images So stylish. Image: china photos/Getty Images "I think you're really cute, too." It would be nice for them to to compliment us every once in a while. JEEZ.  "This food sucks." Pet food looks like straight up garbage. Do our pets think so, too? Do they like that goopy stuff that comes out of a can? Or do they prefer those crunchy, smelly crackers? Would be good to know. "I hate your friend, ______." We all have that one friend our pets can't stand. Since our pets are more important than our human friends, it would be nice to know flat out which friend we could never have over again. Maybe we'll never speak to this friend again. It's all up to the pet because after all, they do rule our lives.  Don't worry, these guys are friends. I checked. Image: Koichi kamoshida/Getty Images "Hey guy, why do you think we're all here? Like, on this planet." Might be a cool convo to have. We'll save this one for 3 a.m. after a night of drinking. This lizard would totally ask that. Image: carl court/Getty Images Can someone please invent a human to pet translator ASAP? WATCH: This smart collar will make pet care a walk in the park


South Africa cabinet bloodbath exposes ANC generational divide

Malusi Gigaba, 45, who replaced Pravin Gordhan, 67, as finance minister is a fervent Zuma loyalist always ready to defend the president despite corruption scandals and mounting legal troubles. Gigaba, who was previously home affairs minister, is accused by the radical opposition EFF party of having "unexplained wealth" and was criticised for mismanagement at state-run South African Airlines during his time as public enterprises minister.

The Galaxy S8 is more powerful than the iPhone 7, but yours won’t be

Posted: 31 Mar 2017 07:37 AM PDT

The Galaxy S8 is more powerful than the iPhone 7, but yours won't be

Samsung expects its new Galaxy S8 smartphone to become its best-selling handset of all time. Combined lifetime sales of its next-generation Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are expected to top last year's Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, which currently combine to hold that title for Samsung. While the company hasn't shared any specific targets, rumors suggest Samsung is aiming to sell about 60 million units, which is certainly nothing to scoff at. In fact, thousands of people reading this post right now probably plan to buy a Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ themselves. Most of those people are likely situated in the United States though, so there's something they should know: There are two different versions of Samsung's hot new flagship smartphones, and the ones you buy won't be as powerful as the versions available elsewhere.

As Samsung has done in previous years with its flagship smartphones, the company uses two different processors depending on region. In the US, Qualcomm's new 10nm Snapdragon 835 is running the show. Elsewhere, Samsung's 10nm Exynos 8895 SoC powers the S8 and S8+. The two chipsets are comparable, but not identical.

Samsung notes in its Galaxy S8 specs that the Snapdragon 835 consists of a 2.3GHz quad-core for heavy lifting that is coupled with a power-efficient 1.7GHz quad that powers typical tasks. Meanwhile, the Exynos 8895 in the global versions of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ features a 2.35GHz quad and a 1.9GHz quad. As a number of tests have shown, these two chipsets do not deliver the same performance when they're pushed to their limits.

Using the popular AnTuTu benchmark test to measure performance, the Snapdragon 835-powered US version of the Galaxy S8 generally scores in the 162,000-165,000 range. For the Exynos 8895-powered global model, however, we've seen AnTuTu scores as high as a whopping 205,000 points. That's plenty good enough to top the previous market leader, Apple's iPhone 7 Plus, which tops out around 185,000.

You read that correctly, and it's really going to hurt Android fanboys in the US. The Galaxy S8 actually is powerful enough to crush the iPhone 7 Plus, at least, as measured by AnTuTu. But the version sold in the US will fall short of matching the iPhone's impressive performance.

We spent some time with the new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, and we shared our early impressions in a hands-on Galaxy S8 preview. To most people, benchmark scores are meaningless, and we can confirm that the US version of the Galaxy S8 felt lightning fast while we were testing it. This just means that hardcore Android fans who thought they were going to have bragging rights over Apple fans are in for a bit of disappointment.
