Macron stretches lead in last throes of French presidential campaign Posted: 05 May 2017 12:16 PM PDT By Mathieu Rosemain and Andrew Callus PARIS (Reuters) - Centrist French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron extended his lead in the polls over his far-right rival Marine Le Pen on Friday, the final day of campaigning in a tumultuous election race that has turned the country's politics upside down. Sunday's election is seen as the most important in France for decades, with two diametrically opposed views of Europe and France's place in the world at stake. The National Front's Le Pen would close borders and quit the euro currency, while independent Macron, who has never held elected office, wants closer European cooperation and an open economy.

College student crawls through air ducts in quest to steal stats exam Posted: 05 May 2017 11:41 AM PDT Friends, this is what happens when you watch Mission: Impossible too many times. Two students at the University of Kentucky are facing burglary charges after crawling through campus ceiling ducts to steal a statistics exam from their professor's office. According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, 21-year-old junior Henry Lynch II dropped into the room through the ceiling, let in his friend Troy through the door, then started to rummage around for the test. SEE ALSO: Teacher finds her fourth grade students passing secret, feminist notes Imagine writing a test so hard that your students pull a Mission Impossiblehttps://t.co/oUa7RumLVx — TieTuesday (@TieTuesdayLP) May 4, 2017 Unfortunately, their professor had only gone out for a snack, and when he returned to a barricaded office door, he called the police. And, uh, that was the end of that heist — a disappointment considering the two dudes had successfully pilfered another exam earlier that semester. Not to be a Boring Adult or whatever, but perhaps they should have studied instead. WATCH: Get better, stress-free sleep with this weighted blanket

Another iPhone supplier hit by Apple’s supply changes Posted: 06 May 2017 11:31 AM PDT The iPhone 8 is good news for various component suppliers who live and die by Apple's orders. The device is expected to pack a bunch of new features that require specialized hardware — that's why the phone is rumored to see launch delays of up to two months. But it appears that Apple is also shopping for other suppliers when it comes to smartphone components we're used to seeing in today's phone. And that means one more Apple suppliers will feel the pain of losing iPhone orders. According to Bloomberg, Bosch will manufacture some of the motion sensors that go into the iPhone, which means InvenSense will take a hit in the process. InvenSense joins a growing list of suppliers whose revenue can be seriously affected by Apple's business. Imagination announced that Apple will drop its GPU designs for the iPhone within two years. A report recently said Apple is developing its own battery management chip and dumping Dialog in the process. Bosch may supply as much as half of the motion sensor Apple needs for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7s this year, with the other half left to InvenSense, which was the sole manufacturer of such parts for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. Bosch also makes the barometric pressures for the iPhone. The motion sensors include gyroscopes and accelerometers and are critical for any iPhone, including the iPhone. They let the iPhone tell how the user is interacting with the device and apps, how the phone is held, and monitor health-related activity. InvenSense, however, saw this move coming. The company's CFO Mark Dentinger said during an August investor conference that while it was dominant "by a considerable margin" at the top of the smartphone market, it wasn't likely to keep that position. Apple is known for seeking more than one supplier for the same component to make sure it has enough parts to go around and to get better deals.

In the streets, looting and clashes between protesters and police have left 36 people dead since last month.

Prince Philip: Cyclone coinciding with retirement 'likely to cement God status among cult who worship him' Posted: 05 May 2017 02:04 AM PDT An island cult who worship Prince Philip as their God may believe his retirement has triggered a tropical cyclone, according to an author who has lived among the villagers. Residents of the remote village of Yaohnanen, on the Pacific island of Tanna, hailed a 2015 cyclone as a sign the Duke of Edinburgh would visit the islands. Now, just as the Duke announced news of his retirement, another storm is on the way, which may be interpreted in a similar way by the villagers.

New OnePlus 5 leak suggests one key spec is even better than we thought Posted: 05 May 2017 12:41 PM PDT A new flagship smartphone from a relatively small Chinese startup is shaping up to be the Galaxy S8's only real rival. There's no question whatsoever that the LG G6 is a terrific phone, but unfortunately for LG, the handset has no advantages whatsoever compared to the newer Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. Throw enthusiastic carrier support and Samsung's multi-billion dollar marketing budget into the mix, and you've got a pair of flagship phones that are nearly impossible to contend with. Nearly impossible, but not impossible. Leaks surrounding the upcoming OnePlus 5 are growing in frequency, and the phone is shaping up to be one of the most impressive smartphones of 2017. Now, a new leak suggests that earlier specs that spilled out just yesterday may have been inaccurate, and one key spec is even more impressive than we thought. According to a leak on Thursday, the next-generation OnePlus 5 will feature specs that line up almost perfectly with Samsung's Galaxy S8. Here's a quick rundown: 5.5 inch QHD+ Full Vision display Snapdragon 835 Processor 6GB RAM 13MP Dual-Lens Rear Camera Android 7.1.1 Nougat 3,600 mAh battery Apart from the display resolution (which probably isn't a big deal for most users), the OnePlus 5 certainly looks like a Galaxy S8 challenger on paper. And as we mentioned in an earlier post on Friday, all that power will be wrapped in a sleek all-metal and glass housing that likely sells for hundreds less than the Galaxy S8. As if things weren't already compelling enough, a new leak on Friday morning suggests that the upcoming new OnePlus 5 might be even more powerful than we thought. A supposed screenshot posted on Slashleaks shows specs that include 128GB of storage alongside not 6GB of RAM, but 8GB of RAM. Here's the screenshot in question: This leak is obviously unconfirmed, but it comes from a source that has posted some accurate leaks in the past. A OnePlus 5 with even better specs than the Galaxy S8 available for hundreds less would indeed be a compelling alternative to Samsung's latest flagships. While pricing for the OnePlus 5 hasn't yet leaked, last year's OnePlus 3T starts at just $439.

Spooked by Trump, Central American immigrants turn to Mexico Posted: 05 May 2017 06:58 AM PDT By Lizbeth Diaz TENOSIQUE, Mexico (Reuters) - Cradling her newborn son in a steamy migrant shelter near the Guatemalan border, Concepcion Bautista says she still plans to reach the United States, but will linger in Mexico to see how U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policies play out. "I have faith that we'll be able to cross but for now, at least, I'm staying in Mexico." The Trump administration has pointed to a sharp decline in immigrant detentions in the first few months of this year as a vindication for the president's tough immigration policies, which have sent shudders through immigrant communities across the continent. Mexican asylum data and testimony from migrants in Tenosique suggest that although fewer Central Americans are trying to enter the United States, plenty are still fleeing their poor, violent home countries, with many deciding to stay longer in Mexico, which has traditionally been a transit country.
