Trump does not think U.S. should copy Australia's health system: White House Posted: 05 May 2017 01:06 PM PDT President Donald Trump was simply saying nice things to an ally when he called Australia's universal healthcare system better than the U.S. system, and he does not think his country should adopt a similar approach, the White House said on Friday. "The president was complimenting a foreign leader on the operations of their healthcare system," White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at a news briefing. "It didn't mean anything more than that." Trump raised eyebrows when he told Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Thursday in New York, "You have better health care than we do." Trump spoke shortly after he led a White House rally with Republicans from the House of Representatives, who had just passed legislation to overturn much of former President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law and move further away from a guarantee of universal coverage.

North Korea says the US planned biochemical attack to kill supreme leader Kim Jong-Un Posted: 05 May 2017 05:51 AM PDT Does the US want to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un? If real, a plan like that would certainly address a bunch of problems for the Trump administration, and for the rest of the world. Or, it would be just the kind of pretext the totalitarian regime north of the wall needs to start a nuclear war. Well, it turns out North Korea really believes that the US and South Korea have been working together to kill Kim by using biochemical weapons. According to CNN, North Korean state news agency KCNA uncovered a "hideous" plot by a terrorist group that attempted to kill the supreme leader. In a 1,800-word report, the agency said that the plot involved a North Korean citizen and the use of "biochemical substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance" to target Kim during a major event such as a military parade. No evidence whatsoever was provided in the report. This CNN paragraph tells the whole story and reads like a synopsis for an action movie that Hollywood should really consider making. KCNA laid out the alleged plot in great detail, saying it was hatched in 2014 when the South Korean and US intelligence agencies recruited a North Korean working in the timber industry in eastern Russia. Further contacts were made over subsequent years, and the assassination attempt was to have taken place at a military parade, KCNA said. The report didn't say when the plot was foiled, but only that it was "uncovered and smashed" recently. CNN points out that South Korea's plans to kill Kim aren't secret — well not all of them. There is at least one retaliatory plan that includes targeting North Korea's leadership if South Korea feels threatened by nuclear attack.

Iraqi forces gain foothold in northwest Mosul after surprise new push Posted: 05 May 2017 05:41 AM PDT By Isabel Coles HULAYLA, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi forces pushed further into Mosul from the north on the second day of a new push to speed up the nearly seven-month attempt to dislodge Islamic State, commanders said on Friday.

U.S. air support has proved vital for spotting suicide car bombs and for avoiding targets where civilians are trapped.

These new iPhone 8 renders are awful, but they still bring good news Posted: 05 May 2017 10:49 AM PDT We see new iPhone 8 leaks and rumors on an almost daily basis, which is crazy considering it's only early May. There are still more than four months to go until Apple unveils this thing, and then we may end up waiting up to two extra months to actually use it. But not all leaks are the same. Some deliver potential bad news, while others bring us the kind of good news we want to see. A series of 3D renders posted on Weibo by a source that's been providing plenty of mobile leaks over the years deliver the good news that we've been hoping for. Specifically, these images posted by user KK show an all-screen iPhone 8 design that features a vertical dual camera and absolutely no Touch ID button. There isn't one on the back or on the front of the handset. If these are based on accurate information, the renders offer us a preview of what the iPhone will look like. And thankfully, there's no annoying fingerprint sensor on the back, which would be a terrible choice for Apple regardless of how difficult it is to embed a Touch ID sensor in the display's complex layer structure. After using Touch ID on the iPhone for so long, I can't even imagine a scenario where I'd be comfortable unlocking a phone by blindly fishing for a fingerprint sensor on the back. Don't even get me started on the Galaxy S8's fingerprint sensor location. Samsung confirmed that it knows the sensor's position is awkward by including a software feature that reminds you to clean the camera from time to time. You know, because you'll often touch it while reaching for that sensor, inevitably covering it with grease and dirt. Wishful thinking aside, we'll point out the fact that it's still an unconfirmed leak. Even if it's genuine, it may showcase just one iPhone 8 design out of the various concepts Apple has reportedly been considering.

Apple isn’t as rich as it seems Posted: 04 May 2017 03:13 PM PDT As part of its earnings announcement this week, Apple revealed that it's sitting on $258 billion of cash, mostly overseas. That's more than the GDP of some small countries, and one of the easiest ways to understand just how rich Apple is. But that $250 billion figure is actually a little more impressive than it should be. Apple's money is held overseas, but it still needs to spend cash in the US. To get around paying tax, Apple has been borrowing money, and it's currently sitting on nearly $100 billion in debt. As the WSJ notes, Apple raised an eye-watering $11 billion in debt last quarter, bringing the total to around $100 billion. That number is set to increase: Apple is ramping up its share buyback program, and the new $1 billion investment fund it announced last night will be funded by debt. Apple opened up orders for its latest bond program this afternoon, and is said to already have raised $22 billion more. This doesn't mean Apple is doomed, or that its cash fund is underwhelming: $150 billion in net assets is still nothing to sneeze at, and is bigger than the market cap of most other companies. But it's worth bearing in mind in the context of Apple's ballooning stock price. A lot of that interest has been generated by rumors of a one-off overseas earnings tax break, which would allow companies like Apple to repatriate cash at a 10% rate or so, rather than the usual 35%. Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook have talked before, possibly about a one-off tax break, but plans can't be that far advanced if Apple is raising another $22 billion in the US.
