Samsung is a company that hates to fail.

That may seem obvious (who actually revels in failure?), but most companies don't react to setbacks the way Samsung does.

The best example? That famous story from 1995 where the company’s chairman set 150,000 defective phones ablaze in a giant bonfire in front of Samsung’s factory in Gumi, South Korea with thousands of employees watching.

The demonstration doubled as a dire warning: Don’t let it happen again.

Two decades later... Читать дальше...

"Guys" is one of those words that you probably use a lot without really thinking about it.

A Ferrari engine is merely a baby compared to this engine, both in its size and power. The most powerful diesel engine in the world is designed by a Finnish company, Wärtsilä, and it can do more than you can imagine.

LG's new V20 smartphone has a relatively unique feature-set that you won't find on many other premium Android phones.

While some of these features are nice to have, LG seems to be avoiding requested features that helped catapult the Galaxy S7 into the top spot — like water-resistance, a beautiful design, and a camera that challenges (and beats) the long-time champion of smartphone cameras, the iPhone.

Still, the V20 is a solid phone, but... Читать дальше...

MILAN, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Italy's tax police said they had found a clear link between people trafficking and militants after detaining a Syrian man who entered Italy on a migrant boat who they allege to be a member of the al-Nusra group.

A series of deadly attacks carried out by militants across Europe over the past year have fuelled a debate about how to handle the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees and other migrants propelled by civil war in Syria, Iraq and Libya. Читать дальше...

$50 trillion dollars is sitting on the sidelines as cash right now. BlackRock argues this cash has piled up because many investors are too risk averse to put money into the markets. The current economic and political climate scares them. What options do people have?

Negative interest rates rule all over the globe. This means that the old saw, “Put your cash to work,” no longer holds true. Nearly three-fourths of that $50 trillion of cash is receiving less than ½% annual interest. Читать дальше...

If you're wondering whether you can come in late or leave work early to cast your vote in this year's presidential election, the short answer is, quite possibly — it depends where you work.

Currently, there is no federal law that mandates employers provide their employees time off to cast their ballots. But the majority of US states have time-off-to-vote laws, also referred to as voter-leave laws, and have different requirements and exceptions for employers and employees. Читать дальше...

It’s hard to miss Google’s “in the news” box, which often sits just above the first of the organic web results on any given search page.

With Wikipedia-fed informational sidebars, campaign issue blocks, and other elements, Google continues to push organic web links farther and farther down in the results page, instead privileging these types of algorithmically curated content on your results page.

Judging by the healthy SEO industry around helping sites get included in Google News... Читать дальше...

Nature creates beautiful landscapes like no human can. On the other hand, humans can create grand scale artificial structures that can never be made through a natural process.

This is purely a matter of taste, but as far as I'm concerned, there aren't any good (theatrically released) movies based on video games. For one reason or another, every one of them falls apart somehow.

That being said, there are a handful of tolerable video game movies. You could even call some of them entertaining! Not good, but entertaining, at least.

Since I recently wrote about the worst of the worst video game movies, I thought I'd give... Читать дальше...

Britain's Bar Council — the body that represents barristers in England and Wales — just joined the rallying cry from politicians to bring an end to the harsh criticism of the judges who dealt a blow to the government's Brexit preparations.

The Bar Council said in a statement on its website on Saturday, Lord Chancellor Liz Truss should come forward to condemn the recent attacks on the three judges, which dubbed "enemies of the people" by one of Britain's most divisive media outlets The Daily Mail... Читать дальше...

There's a widely held conviction among people who support Donald Trump for president that goes something like this: Despite some of the more wacky things he says, or a lack of specific policy proposals, they say, "He's a successful businessman."

When CNN's Poppy Harlow recently talked to voters in Ohio, a swing state that's struggling economically, she heard that line "a lot." Harlow asked one woman what about Trump's career made her confident that he's a "successful businessman."

When the Los Angeles Dodgers traveled to Chicago for a series with the Cubs in May, the team stayed at the Trump International Hotel and Tower. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez, who is Mexican American, stayed elsewhere. “I had my reasons,” he told the Long Beach Press Telegram.

It’s tempting to draw the conclusion that for a certain type of conscious business traveler, the Trump brand ain’t what it used to be. A number of recent articles—my own included—have suggested that in one way or another... Читать дальше...

Thanks to eBay there is never a shortage of weird things you can buy. And now, you can add voting machines to that list.

But this isn't just any ordinary voting machine. This one is a Votomatic machine from Florida that was used in the 2000 Bush vs. Gore election. 

Those voting machines gained a lot of attention when voters complained that punch card voting was confusing and they were worried that their votes were being under-counted. In fact, voters in Palm Beach County... Читать дальше...

Presidential elections in America are typically seen as a binary choice between two major-party candidates — currently, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

But the 2016 election brings the potential of a spoiler — and Republicans have taken notice.

If independent candidate Evan McMullin, a former Republican congressional policy leader who just entered the race three months ago as the "Never Trump" candidate, wins his home state of Utah, it's possible... Читать дальше...
