By Julia Fioretti | BRUSSELS BRUSSELS The United States has not satisfied the European Union’s concerns about Yahoo’s (YHOO.O) scanning of all customers’ incoming emails for U.S. intelligence purposes, the bloc’s justice chief told Reuters in an interview.

Photo Sue Fulton Credit Andrew T. Warman for The New York Times You were a member of the first co-ed class at West Point, then you served in the Army for five and a half years, but it’s safe to say that you’ve spent more time on a different battle: fighting for civil rights within the military. Do you think there are any similarities between what drew […]

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s attempt to take control of all levers of power and a mounting terrorist threat has begun to alarm investors, sending the Turkish lira down 4 per cent to an all-time low on Wednesday.

When it comes to web browsers, Chrome is on top, Safari is second, and once-dominant IE is now far back in third. For over a decade, Internet Explorer (IE), thanks to Microsoft’s illegal crushing of Netscape, ruled the web browser field. Competitors, such as Mozilla Firefox, made runs at IE, but they barely dented IE’s lead. Then came Google Chrome in 2008, and in short order, IE […]

Things are starting to look up for Samsung. After announcing expectations of record fourth quarter 2016 profits, the South Korean electronics company on January 11 announced “over 96 percent” of the recalled Galaxy Note 7 smartphones have been returned. That’s up from 93 percent in early December, when Samsung announced a software update would soon render all remaining Note 7 devices useless. As of January 8, all […]

To an outsider, it looked preposterous. The archaeologists were cataloging and storing absolutely everything, treating this physical material as though it were digital information — JPEGs of itself. And yet they couldn’t afford not to: Everything a Neanderthal came into contact with was a valuable clue. (In 28 years of excavations here, archaeologists have yet to find a fossil of an actual Neanderthal.) “This is like putting […]

Staff costs are rising faster than beer prices and its market faces intense competition. Still, Hong Kong investors sent Bar Pacific soaring as much as 1,600 per cent on its debut for the best-ever opening day by a pub group anywhere in the world. The group, which specialises in local neighbourhood bars rather than the glitzy city centre offerings more usually associated with Hong Kong, raised HK$45.2m […]

Recent political headaches could have been avoided if people learned to encrypt a file once and a while. In 2003, I advocated for licensing computer users just like you license drivers. This idea remains valid, maybe even more so if you consider last year’s election hacks. At the time, nobody took it seriously. But as we saw in the 2016 election, […]

The grooves in fingerprints enhance our ability to sense textures, according to a recent study. Image credit: Wikimedia. Could flashing the “peace” sign in photos lead to fingerprint data being stolen? Research by a team at Japan’s National Institute of Informatics (NII) says so, raising alarm bells over the popular two-fingered pose. Fingerprint recognition technology is becoming widely available to verify identities, such as when logging […]

Adenan’s short tenure had probably won the Sarawak government more support than his predecessors could ever have. PETALING JAYA: Politicians from both sides of the divide have mourned the death of Adenan Satem, the Sarawak chief minister whose short tenure was marked by the state’s push for greater economic and political autonomy. Among many of his measures include his announcement in 2015 to make English the other […]

In order to survive, the Syrian regime has had to rely to an extraordinary degree on Russian and Iranian forces, and their proxies, like Hezbollah. It really wasn’t the Syrian Arab Army that retook Aleppo. Indeed, the Syrian military is stretched so thin by geography and attrition that last month it lost most of the city of Palmyra (again) to the Islamic State while pro-government forces were […]

On Wall Street, Donald Trump’s election win spelt pain for the dollar and stock markets right up until the moment he began his acceptance speech in the early hours of November 9 at the New York Hilton. Then the dollar began a trough-to-peak surge that would leave it up almost 3 per cent, a performance only bettered in 2016 on the day after the Brexit vote. S&P […]

It would be premature to decide whether an agreement among OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers to cut output, reached late last year, needs to be extended beyond six months, the United Arab Emirates’ energy minister said on Wednesday. Speaking at an oil industry conference, Suhail bin Mohammed al-Mazroui said there needed to be competition in the oil market and trying to fix the market to achieve a […]

Sonos has promoted former BlackBerry manager Patrick Spence to take over as chief executive from founder John MacFarlane, after the rise of streaming music services propelled the wireless speaker maker to further growth last year. The change comes as 15-year-old Sonos repositions itself to take advantage of a new wave of voice-controlled “virtual assistants” such as Amazon’s Alexa and connected-home technologies. Mr Spence joined the California-based company […]

Posada made his first professional stop in Oneonta, N.Y., in the shadow of Cooperstown, in 1991.
