The narrow-body C919 jet -- white with green and blue stripes -- soared over Pudong international airport in the commercial hub Shanghai as a crowd of thousands cheered.

Donald Trump takes huge step toward repealing Obamacare as House passes new healthcare bill Posted: 04 May 2017 10:09 AM PDT Donald Trump is one huge step closer to repealing Obamacare, after the House of Representatives narrowly passed a healthcare bill aimed at undoing one of his predecessor's biggest accomplishments. The 217-213 vote is a significant triumph for Mr Trump, who repeatedly promised during his campaign to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama's healthcare law. Mr Trump suffered a major setback in March after a vote on an earlier version of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) was dramatically cancelled at the last minute when it failed to gain enough Republican support.

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.

Deadly unrest grips Venezuela as students rally Posted: 05 May 2017 01:47 AM PDT A student leader was shot dead as protests raged on in the streets of Venezuela Thursday in the latest spasm of anger aimed at removing President Nicolas Maduro from power.

Vorayuth "Boss" Yoovidhya left Thailand for Singapore on April 25, two days before he had been ordered to report to prosecutors to be formally charged in court, police said.

With maiden jet flight, China enters dog-fight with Boeing, Airbus Posted: 05 May 2017 05:10 AM PDT By Jackie Cai and Adam Jourdan SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's home-grown C919 passenger jet completed its long-delayed maiden flight on Friday, a major first step for Beijing as it looks to raise its profile in the global aviation market and boost high-tech manufacturing at home. The jet is a symbol of China's ambitions to muscle into a global jet market estimated to be worth $2 trillion over the next two decades, as well as of Beijing's broader "Made in China 2025" plan to spur home-made products, from medicines to robots. This is a moment we have waited to see for a very long time," Wang Mingfeng, 42, who witnessed the maiden flight at the Shanghai airport, told Reuters.

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.

Pregnancy to cost 425% more under Donald Trump's health plan compared to Obamacare Posted: 04 May 2017 04:06 AM PDT US citizens with the most serious forms of cancer could have to pay up to 35 times more for health insurance under a proposed amendment to Donald Trump's new healthcare bill, analysts have claimed. Fierce debate over what the bill will mean for people with 'pre-existing conditions' has threatened to derail a fresh bid to push the reforms through after they collapsed in March. The President has tried to make clear that provisions for people with illnesses such as cancer and diabetes will not be reduced, saying earlier this week the new healthcare plan "will be every bit as good on pre-existing conditions as Obamacare".

Syrian rebels reject Russia's proposal for safe zones Posted: 04 May 2017 06:04 PM PDT Syria's armed opposition on Thursday rejected a Russian plan to create safe zones in Syria, calling it a threat to the country's territorial integrity, and said it would also not recognize Iran as a guarantor of any ceasefire plan. Turkey, which supports Syrian rebels, and Iran, which backs Syrian President Bashar Assad, agreed earlier in the day to Russia's proposal for "de-escalation zones" in Syria, a move welcomed by the United Nations but met with scepticism from the United States.

If you try and pre-order the OnePlus 5 right now, you’ll be sorely disappointed Posted: 05 May 2017 04:34 PM PDT The OnePlus 5 rumors are in full swing as we speak, as the phone is likely going to arrive by the end of June. But that doesn't mean you can already preorder one, regardless of what product page you might see online. A OnePlus 5 listing on OppoMart says the phone will cost $449 and will ship in early June. You can't preorder the device yet, and the device is marked as out of stock. Conversely, the 64GB OnePlus 3T retails for $439, while the 128GB version costs $40 more. However, that doesn't mean the retailer has access to accurate availability information for the OnePlus 5. All the information presented on the page can be taken from the various OnePlus 5 rumors out there. Mix in a few guesses, and you end up with a full specs list for the phone that makes plenty of sense for a 2017 Android flagship handset. The OnePlus 5 is rumored to have a 5.5-inch Full HD display not QHD screen as listed on the site. Previous rumors have also claimed the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 platform and feature 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. A recent report said the handset will have a horizontal dual-lens camera on the back, not vertical as shown in the placeholder image, and that the fingerprint sensor will be placed on the front side. OppoMart lists these specs and features, adding that the rear camera has a 12-megapixel sensor, with an 8-megapixel selfie camera to be found on the front side. OnePlus has not announced a launch event for the handset, although it did start teasing the phone over on social media.
