The Senate-passed resolution directs lawmakers working to resolve differences on an unrelated spending bill to include language that would give Congress more say on tariffs imposed in the name of national security.The provision is toothless, but it represents the first concrete step by Republicans toward reining in a protectionist agenda that has upended decades of the party's dogma in support of free trade.It remains to be seen whether President Donald Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from China will set off a trade war.Kevin Madden, a longtime Republican consultant, described the vote as something "short of a warning shot" and noted that building a coalition of senators to support a binding change in policy would be a much heavier lift."Tariffs are a tax on the American people, and as the United States economy and American businesses and consumers begin to feel the damaging effects of incoherent trade policy, I believe support for our legislation will only grow", Corker … [Read more...] about Senate approves non-binding resolution to reign-in Trump’s tariff authority

United Nations team arrives in Bangladesh to meet Rohingya refugees
The probe could be carried out either by the International Criminal Court or Myanmar's own government, Pierce added. "The second would be for the Burmese government to do it themselves", she said."This is a humanitarian crisis and a human rights issue", Kuwait's ambassador to the UN, Mansour al-Otaibi, told reporters after the delegation ended a three-day visit to Bangladesh and headed for Myanmar. This was the council's first visit to Southeast Asia since ambassadors visited East Timor in 2012.India favoured a long-term strategy for socio-economic development of the Rakhine State, the spokesperson said, adding that New Delhi had also welcomed the agreement between Myanmar and Bangladesh on the rehabilitation of displaced people.Reported by Min Thein Aung, Nay Rein Kyaw, and Wai Mar Tun for RFA's Myanmar Service.Government officials have denied the military's complicity in instigating violence against the Rohingya, though pledged on Tuesday to take "harsh" action against any … [Read more...] about United Nations team arrives in Bangladesh to meet Rohingya refugees

GOP RACE NARROWING to 3 – JEB, sporting new look, buffeted by Hurricane Haley – CRUZ, RUBIO attack Obama’s Cuba visit — BILL KRISTOL explains his lame predictions
By Mike Allen (@mikeallen; [email protected]) and Daniel Lippman (@dlippman; [email protected]) QUICK TURNAROUND: Rubio begins airing ad in S.C. featuring game-changing endorsement by Gov. Nikki Haley. YouTube http://bit.ly/1oMp1PVStory Continued Below Good Thursday morning. Yesterday was the GOP campaign’s biggest psychological shift, not tied to a debate, since voting began in Iowa 17 days ago. The clarifying day points to the three-man race that insiders have so long expected, with a revived Rubio on the path to go the distance as an establishment alternative to Trump and Cruz. The surprise endorsement of Rubio by South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley came a day after Jeb had told NBC’s Peter Alexander that her nod, ahead of Saturday’s GOP primary, is “probably the most meaningful endorsement ... would be the most powerful meaningful one in the state.” Oof! --“Rubio adviser: ‘I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people on … [Read more...] about GOP RACE NARROWING to 3 – JEB, sporting new look, buffeted by Hurricane Haley – CRUZ, RUBIO attack Obama’s Cuba visit — BILL KRISTOL explains his lame predictions

Windows Phone: May the Most Gorgeous OS Win
Last Updated Feb 16, 2010 4:49 PM EST Microsoft (MSFT) unveiled a fresh-faced revision of their mobile phone OS on February 15th, and industry reactions have been virtual paeans. But the praise isn't about connectivity or compatibility or multimedia. No, Windows 7 Phone is impressive because it's beautiful -- and it will succeed for the same reason. The Apple (AAPL) iPhone was the original beauty queen that ripped us from our homely Blackberrys. Distinctive iconography, clean typography and minimalist layout made users eager for any excuse to use their phone. The kind of beauty I'm referring to isn't static; I'm not talking about pretty weather widgets. (If it were that easy, then user interfaces like HTC's TouchFLO would be more popular.) I'm talking about visual design in motion, married to smart interactive design: beauty you want to use. Windows 7 Phone is following the same track blazed by the iPhone. Look no further than the accounts of people at Mobile World Congress who … [Read more...] about Windows Phone: May the Most Gorgeous OS Win
Want to Protect Your Emails? Don’t Use these 11 Android and iPhone Email Apps
Last Updated Feb 2, 2011 10:32 AM EST Want your email to be secure? Of course. But if you lose your smartphone or tablet, you might be out of luck, if it runs Google's (GOOG) Android or Apple (AAPL) iOS operating system. Some popular apps actually store emails, user names, or even passwords in plain text. Readily available free software and instructions can give access to the person who finds, steals, or buys the phone. viaForensics, which runs the appWatchdog web page, checked whether an app encrypted passwords, user names, or actual email content before storing it on the phone. A full pass meant that all three were stored in encrypted form. An app received a warning if the user name was left in plain text but password and content were encrypted. If either the password or content was stored in plain text, the app failed. App perp walk Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Live Messenger on the iPhone got a warning. Everything else failed. Android Mail was at the bottom of the list, as it stored … [Read more...] about Want to Protect Your Emails? Don’t Use these 11 Android and iPhone Email Apps
CBS News Logo Dear Android: Here’s your last chance
Commentary - The morning of October 4, I had my credit card in hand, ready to buy an iPhone 5 and wave good-bye to Android forever. Sadly, the iPhone 4S isn't quite what I'd hoped for: it's too expensive for the high-capacity models I'd prefer, I want a bigger screen, there's no 4G, and I'd hoped for integrated turn-by-turn directions. The 4S has left an opening for Android to reassert itself and win my continued loyalty...but it's a tiny opening, indeed. This is Android's last chance, and here's why. Fragmentation (still)written about this problem before, and it's still a problem. Sure, it's a problem Google has pledged to address, by forming the Android Update Alliance back in May. Google announced it would work with manufacturers and carriers to deliver timelier updates on a standardized schedule, and to keep updating every device for at least 18 months after its creation. That seemed like good news, and a pretty straightforward acknowledgement that fragmentation was a serious … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Dear Android: Here’s your last chance
How Google plans to beat Apple at its own game
Rick Osterloh’s second stint at Google has been happier than his first. Six years ago, when he first joined the company, it was amid one of the most disastrous acquisitions in its history. In 2012, Google spent $12.5bn (£9bn) on Motorola Mobility, the iconic American mobile phone maker where Osterloh was a senior executive, in an attempt to enter the cut-throat world of smartphones. But it floundered under Google ownership, failing to compete with Apple and sharper Asian rivals, and was sold two years later for $2.9bn. The episode was far from the company’s proudest moment, but Osterloh, who took charge of Motorola shortly after Google elected to sell it, clearly made an impression. Two years ago, he was brought back with a new aim: turning a company rooted in software and the internet into a hardware powerhouse. Google has since released a dozen devices, from smartphones to speakers and virtual reality headsets. In a statement of intent, last year it spent … [Read more...] about How Google plans to beat Apple at its own game
