If the Galaxy S8 leaks keep coming in at this rate, there won’t be anything left for Samsung to announce at its big March 29 launch event. The latest leak potentially reveals what it’ll be like to use the phone without a physical home button. Three images and a 5-second video posted by Slash Leaks show the Galaxy S8 in, uh, some of its glory. The first […]
Most entrepreneurs occasionally face unfavourable circumstances, from underperforming staff or chronic complaining customers to difficult economic conditions, mounting fees, and other often unforeseen hassles. However, there are outlier entrepreneurs, those whose decisions to persevere greatly outnumber the impediments they encounter. “I was stubborn. I had been dreaming about that project forever. I didn’t want to give up,” says Ziad Kamel, founder of Couqley UAE, a French bistro […]

BioWare’s next game in the Mass Effect series is set to debut in March and the developers of the game have been busy promoting it. Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s campaign will take the series in a new direction as it will not feature Commander Shepard and will instead focus on a new protagonist, Scott or Sara Ryder. Among all the excitement over the single player campaign, it seems BioWare […]
Muslim students visiting an Oklahoma lawmaker’s office in the state capitol were required to fill out a form that asked if they beat their wives and other questions that offended them, an Islamic advocacy group said. The two-page form from Republican state Representative John Bennett’s office, which was shared by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), also asked whether they believed an adherent to Islam should be […]
The Nintendo Switch had a successful March 3 global launch, but there are already a variety of issues being attached to the hybrid console. The latest problem that early owners of the Nintendo Switch have pointed out are dead pixels on the hybrid console’s screen. However, according to Nintendo, such a thing is normal, which is a claim that many users do not find acceptable. Dead Pixels On […]
“If you really care, you show up,” he said. “And I really care.” Still, during his daylong tour in Israel, Mr. Cuomo seemed to delicately embrace the idea of being an American statesman commenting on broader national themes. He called anti-Semitism a “social cancer” on underlying American ideals and spoke about its economic and social roots as evidenced in the November election. Continue reading the main story […]
It’s four in the morning. Other than a spectacular blanket of stars, there isn’t much to see. While there are certainly other boats in the water, the crew feel completely alone in an unforgiving ocean. Tonight, my thoughts are on keeping a steady course, all part of our quest to break the extreme sailing record for a transatlantic crossing. Back on dry land with ample time to […]
Image: Nick Heath/TechRepublic One of the most useful things about the smartphone is how many different technologies and tools it has consolidated into a single device that fits in your pocket. It replaced the point-and-shoot camera, calculator, alarm clock, watch, MP3 player, radio, ebook reader, GPS, flashlight, compass, address book, photo album, airline ticket, and more. But even as our smartphones grow in size and barely fit […]
The robots are coming. Automation, both in the form of mechanised robots (human or drone-shaped) as well as artificially intelligent software programs, are predicted to get rid of a huge number of jobs over the next five years. A report by Citibank in partnership with the University of Oxford predicted that 47 percent of US jobs are at risk of automation, 35 percent in the UK, and […]

Via Daniel Mitchell of The Foundation for Economic Education, I focus most of my ire on the federal government because bad policy from Washington is the biggest threat to our nation’s freedom and prosperity. But we also get plenty of bad policy from other levels of government. I periodically focus on the foibles of states such as California, Illinois, and New York. Today, though, let’s contemplate the […]
How do you describe yourself? As an entrepreneur with experience in building recurring revenue technology businesses, having mastered the intersection of technology, consumer marketing, customer behaviour and in-store insights. What’s your greatest achievement in life? My biggest achievement is not materialistic which can be displayed – it is more of a personal augmentation that is based on the knowledge and experience accumulated over my lifetime. Your greatest […]
It looks as if your plain Gray or Neon Nintendo Switch will have to do for now, as it appears heavily applying custom skins on the system might destroy its default coating. Leading accessory maker dbrand, which creates customs skins for nearly every gadget there is, recently took to Reddit to caution users planning to send in their Switch systems for customization not to bother, because doing such […]
A Friday session as part of the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature presented an undeniably emotional moment – the author and subject on a public stage together for the first time. The latter was Nujeen Mustafa, the Syrian teenager who travelled more than 5,000 kilometres in a wheelchair to escape the civil war ripping apart her homeland. The writer was veteran journalist Christina Lamb, who documented Mustafa’s […]
François Fillon put his future as French presidential candidate for the centre right in the hands of party leaders after mobilising tens of thousands of supporters at a rally in Paris. Mr Fillon said he was the victim of a “manhunt” but notably omitted to tell the crowd — mobilised as show of strength among grassroots Republicans — that he would fight on as Republican candidate despite […]
I have a confession to make: It’s been four months since Microsoft publicly unveiled the name of the next big Windows 10 feature update, and I still have no idea why it’s called the Creators Update. From Microsoft’s perspective, of course, the aspirational tagline makes perfect marketing sense and is much easier to sell than a version number or a release date. It also gives marketers the […]
Maritime security will head the agenda as Australia and other Indian Ocean nations meet in Jakarta, with Indonesia pushing governance in a bid to prevent another South China Sea. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will meet with President Joko Widodo for the second time in less than two weeks when he attends the 20th anniversary of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) summit in Jakarta this week. With […]
Apple has had a pretty good quarter so far, and they have plenty of reasons to be happy apart from their whopping $78.4 billion revenue. A large part of the massive revenue is thanks to strong demand for the iPhone 7 and its new features. What’s more, Apple saw not just upgraders from the older iPhones but also the highest number of switchers from Android to Apple […]
ISTANBUL President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday German actions in stopping political meetings of resident Turks that were due to be addressed by Turkish officials “were no different to those of the Nazi period”. German authorities withdrew permission for two meetings in German cities last week that were part of a government campaign to win the 1.5 million-strong Turkish community’s support for sweeping new powers for Erdogan […]

Award-winning British artist and designer Zoe Bradley is not your average couturier. She rarely meets her clients for fittings of their gowns, her pieces are commonly only worn once, and some have been “thrown away” after use. This is because Bradley works exclusively in paper. Such is her pedigree that her clients for one-off commissions have included the likes of enigmatic Icelandic pop singer Björk and late […]
Poynter’s Ren LaForme has spent a lot of time with digital tools (the things you use to create new things, not the online know-it-alls). (OK, Maybe both.) As we look at the big ideas that explain what local journalism needs to evolve, we want to look at the small ideas, too. Tools seem like a good place to start. So, beginning this week, LaForme and I are […]
