FBI says it has accessed data on terrorist’s iPhone 5c without Apple, will withdraw case
» ‎ 9to5Mac

Tags: [edit]

Update #2: Apple has issued a statement in which it says that it is committed to continuing to fight for cilvil liberties and collective security and privacy. The company doesn’t, however, comment on the possibility that the FBI was able to get into the iPhone anyways. The full statement is below (via Verge):

From the beginning, we objected to the FBI’s demand that Apple build a backdoor into the iPhone because we believed it was wrong and would set a dangerous precedent. As a result of the government’s dismissal, neither of these occurred. This case should never have been brought.

We will continue to help law enforcement with their investigations, as we have done all along, and we will continue to increase the security of our products as the threats and attacks on our data become more frequent and more sophisticated.

Apple believes deeply that people in the United States and around the world deserve data protection, security and privacy. Sacrificing one for the other only puts people and countries at greater risk.

This case raised issues which deserve a national conversation about our civil liberties, and our collective security and privacy. Apple remains committed to participating in that discussion.

Update: CNN reports that the method used by the FBI to unlock the iPhone 5c only works on this specific device.

Revealed in a filing today, the FBI has successfully unlocked the iPhone 5c used by one of the San Bernardino gunmen. Apple, which has refused to comply with the FBI’s request, was set to face off with the government last Tuesday. The FBI, however, requested a delay for the hearing stating that it had found an outside method that could potentially unlock the device in question without Apple’s help. Now, the FBI has announced that it has been successful in unlocking the device.

This chart shows how far away virtual reality still is from reaching the mass-market
» ‎ Tech

Tags: [edit]

The Oculus Rift virtual reality headset launched on Monday, but many game developers believe it could take as much as 15 more years before the gadgets are widely adopted by mainstream consumers.

According to a survey by the Game Developers Conference, charted for us by BI Intelligence, many developers don't see virtual reality and augment reality devices reaching 40% household adoption — the penetration rate of gaming consoles in North America — until after 2030.

Given many advances in consumer technology first started by hardware and software developed by the gaming community, the results could be a telling sign that VR/AR technology still has a long way to go to reach its full potential. But despite expectations of slow consumer adoption, developers and hardware manufacturers are flocking to the VR/AR field, BI Intelligence noted.

Perhaps, the more worrisome figure is that a lot of developers don't believe in VR/AR technologies at all: 27% of the respondents said it would "never" get to 40% adoption in North America.

Sju mål i baken för HIF i Vinberg
» ‎ Norra Skåne - NorraSkåne.se

Tags: [edit]

Sport Veckan före veckan före premiären – då vill man inte åka på 2–7 i baken.
Men det var precis vad Hässleholms IF gjorde borta mot division två-kollegan Vinberg.
– Vi är inte riktigt där, säger HIF-tränaren Dan Olofsson.
Hässleholms IF var åderlåtet på mittbackar mot Vinberg.
Eric Svensson är ännu inte tillbaka efter knäskadan, Jonathan Ikonen har varit sjuk i veckan, William Andersson är fotskadad, Emil Szymanski är sjuk och Johan Hansson har känning av en baksida.
Dessutom saknades också tänkbare ersättaren Joel Svensson som har börjat på ett nytt jobb och även kommer att missa premiären.

Flera spelare dök därför upp på ovana positioner på Vinåvallen.
– Vi ska ändå klara av att lösa det bättre än vad vi gör, anser Dan Olofsson.
HIF startade piggast och Tommy Filipovic gav gästerna ledningen.
– Jag tycker att vi har rätt bra koll. Vi har också ett par lägen att göra 2–0.
Men två snabba mål från Vinberg ledde till pyspunka i HIF-kollektivet.
– Efter det slutar vi att jobba som ett lag. Vi är sega och jobbar när det är för sent. De får gott om tid och spelar bort oss, analyserar Olofsson.
3–1 i halvtid mynnade ut i 7–2 när 90 minuter var spelade.
– Vi försöker komma in i det i andra. Men så får de 4–1 ganska enkelt och sedan är matchen körd.
Tommy Filipovic gjorde HIF:s andra mål i den andra halvleken.

HIF-tränaren manar till självrannsakan.
– Den här matchen får bli en lärdom. Allihop får gå till sig själva och fundera på vad man kan göra bättre.

2–7 med två veckor kvar till premiären – blir du orolig?
– Det är oroväckande på ett vis men samtidigt en väckarklocka som visar vad som krävs. Vi måste prestera på topp i 26 matcher. Dippar vi och inte är där, då blir det så här.
Ett par ljusglimtar i annandagpåskmörkret:
8 Röntgen visade inga skelettskador på William Anderssons fot utan det rör sig ”bara” om en stukning.
8 Johan Hansson och Emil Szymanski räknas vara tillbaka i träning redan i kväll.

Hässleholms IF: Christoffer Eklund – Mattias Andersson, Liridon Ahmeti, Egzon Ademi, Max Gustafsson (75) – Kristian Eriksson (75), Anton Persson, Viktor Ekström, Gazmend Xhemajli (utvisad efter två gula kort, 80) – Arber Sabani, Tommy Filipovic.
Ersättare: Otto Nilsson (75), Hannes Strand (75), Anders Karlsson (80).

Sport
Hanaskog har under påskhelgen gett samtliga 24 spelare chansen till speltid. Något som kanske gått ut över resultatet. I fredags blev det en 1–5-förlust borta mot Tomelilla medan Fjälkinge i går vann med 2–1 på Västra Heds naturgräsunderlag.
– Tror jag gjorde rätt som lät alla i truppen spela, säger Hanaskogstränaren Jörgen Isaksson.
– Vi möter IFK Osby i en träningsmatch på lördag och då ska jag starta med det tänkta premiärlaget.
Anton Nordfeldt gav Hanaskog ledningen redan i den fjärde minuten. Kvitteringen kom i den 20 minuten och en bit in på den andra halvleken kunde Fjälkinge också göra ett segermål.
– Efter paus hade vi ett flertal bra lägen. Bland annat tre nickar från bara tre meter som oförklarligt nickades över, säger Isaksson som dock var nöjd med matchen.
– Det var en jämn och bra match i högt tempo som kunde slutat hur som helst.

Tvåsiffrigt för Glimåkradamer
» ‎ Norra Skåne - NorraSkåne.se

Tags: [edit]

Sport Glimåkradamerna visade fin målform då de träningsspelade mot division 2-laget Fjälkinge hemma på konstgräset.
– Vi visade upp bra anfallsspel, säger nöjde tränaren Rikard Svensson som fick se sitt lag göra tvåsiffrigt.
Glimåkra gjorde första målet redan efter två minuter och ledde med 3–0 efter en kvart. Fjälkinge reducerade till 1–3 på straff vilket var ställningen i halvtid. 4–1 kom två minuter in på den andra halvleken och sedan ramlade bollen in bakom gästernas målvakt med jämna mellanrum.
De tio Glimåkramålen fördelades på Sofie Andersson tre, Olivia Johansson och Louise Persson två medan Matilda Agardius, Tintin Hansson samt Erika Martinsson gjorde ett vardera.
– Efter paus dominerade vi matchen fullständigt, säger tränare Svensson som förutom anfallsspelet var nöjd med försvaret.
– De vann bollen högt vilket gjorde att vi kunde behålla bollen i anfallsposition.
Svenssons Glimåkra har tidigare under säsongen matchat mot tufft motstånd som Halmia och IFK Kalmar.
– Något vi har nytta av när vi möter lite sämre motstånd. Vi har fått ett betydligt högre tempo vilket lag som till exempel Fjälkinge inte orkar med i längden.

Sport IFK Hässlehom spelade årets första match på naturgräs då de på annandagen besegrade Nosaby med matchens enda mål.
– En prestation jag är nöjd med, säger IFK-tränaren Daniel Nilsson.
Precis om de flesta klubbarna i grannskapet spelade de gulsvarta dubbla träningsmatcher under påskhelgen. Förlusten på långfredagen mot Bromölla följdes upp med seger i går mot Nosaby.

– Har låtit samtliga disponibla spelare i truppen starta i en match, säger IFK-tränaren och tillägger.
– Tycker att många visade att de kommer vara med och konkurrera om platserna i laget. Tycker att jag börjar se något som liknar startelvan.
Att det var årspremiär för IFK Hässleholm på riktigt gräs märktes i den första halvleken. Då hade Nosaby den bästa målchansen men IFK-målvakten Krenar Ejupi kunde rädda.
Efter paus fungerade IFK-spelet bättre och det skapades en hel del chanser. I den 87:e minuten kom också segermålet som gjordes av Philip Bengtsson. Som från 35 meter slog på ett skott som via ribban gick in i mål.

– Tycker nog att vi till slut vinner matchen rättvist, säger Daniel Nilsson vars lag fram till premiären kommer att träna på konstgräs.
– Då våra premiärmotståndare Lindsdal spelar på gräs så fortsätter vi med det.

U.S. government gains access to shooter’s iPhone, asks court to vacate order
» ‎ VentureBeat

Tags: [edit]

The U.S. government today officially said it has gotten into San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan Farook’s iPhone 5c and it is now asking the court to vacate the court’s original order to compel Apple to help the government unlock the phone.

The government has issued a proposed order to vacate.
View this document on Scribd View this document on Scribd

The judge in the case has not officially ordered that the case be vacated, but that is presumably what will happen soon.

The development comes days after the government disclosed that it was examining a “possible method” of getting into the phone, with help from an “outside party,” which turned out to be Israeli company Cellebrite. Today’s filing does not specify whether it was in fact Cellebrite that successfully got the phone open or some other organization.

In any case, this is big news in an a saga that has mobilized support from several technology companies, including Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.

It might seem like a relief to Apple, but now the company must deal with the fact that a third party has gained access into one of its iPhones.

Meanwhile, for the FBI, it has gotten the short term win of getting into the phone, but the federal agency remains keen on obtaining a repeatable way to get into iPhones, as FBI director James Comey explained in a congressional hearing a few weeks ago. Plus, that the FBI said it had exhausted all options to unlock the phone but ultimately got the phone open in a short span of time doesn’t make the bureau look very good.

Deadpool is officially the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever
» ‎ The Verge - All Posts

Tags: [edit]

Deadpool, in a development few could have seen coming, is now the top-earning R-rated movie in cinema history. The unlikely hit, starring Ryan Reynolds as the "Merc with a Mouth," has so far earned $746 million dollars globally, putting it ahead of 2003's The Matrix Reloaded, which earned $742 million worldwide during its run.

Deadpool has been setting records left and right

Deadpool's success in theaters and with critics has surprised everyone. After winning the affection of reviewers and fans who were looking for something different in their superhero films, the movie crushed its opening weekend by pulling in a record-shattering $152.2 million, miles ahead of its R-rated competition. However, the film still has a way to go before it owns the domestic box office. Having earned $349.5 million in the US, there's still time for it to beat the current record holder, The Passion of the Christ, which is a stone's throw away at $370.8 million.

With Deadpool now leading the way, it's only a matter of time before studios leap into the fray with R-rated superhero projects of their own. Indeed, an R-rated cut of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is due out this summer. However, it's important to note that Deadpool wasn't good just because it was a hard-R romp. It's funny, heartfelt, and astoundingly different from what Marvel and DC typically produce. Hopefully, those following its success learn the rating isn't what matters most.

After months of work, the FBI finally has a way into the San Bernardino iPhone. In a court filing today, prosecutors told the court the new method for breaking into the phone is sound, and Apple's assistance is no longer required. "The government has now successfully accessed the data stored on Farook’s iPhone," the filing reads, "and therefore no longer requires assistance from Apple." The filing provides no further details on the nature of the new method. Still, the result effectively finishes the court fight that has consumed Apple since February.

The Department of Justice first announced the existence of the new attack on March 21st, less than 24 hours before the first hearing on the order was scheduled to begin. According to prosecutors, the method was first demonstrated to law enforcement on the 20th and was sufficiently plausible that the bureau could no longer continue its case, which was premised on the claim that only Apple was capable of unlocking the San Bernardino iPhone. The government was scheduled to report on the effectiveness of the exploit on April 5th, but the FBI's researchers appear to have finished early.

"The government has now successfully accessed the data stored on Farook's phone."

The result is an abrupt end to this chapter of the FBI's fight against encryption. We still don't know the exact nature of the government's exploit or how many different iPhones it could be used to unlock, but it's unlikely to grant the broad powers that the proposed GovtOS would have. That raises the possibility of similar court challenges in the future or, more likely, congressional action on encryption of the kind proposed by Senators Dianne Feinstein and Richard Burr.

In a statement, the Department of Justice promised to continue its efforts to gather data from encrypted devices. "It remains a priority for the government to ensure that law enforcement can obtain crucial digital information to protect national security and public safety," the department said in a statement, "either with cooperation from relevant parties or through the court system."

Review: Prong PWR Case Adds a Folding Plug to Your iPhone 6/6s
» ‎ MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors - All Stories

Tags: [edit]
While there are numerous battery cases for iPhones, the Prong PWR Case for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s differentiates itself with a built-in, collapsible wall charger. The folding prongs enable you to charge your iPhone by simply plugging it into a wall outlet, making it ideal for work, home, travel, or wherever receptacles are available.

Better yet, the PWR Case eliminates the need to have a Lightning charging cable wherever you go for cord-free convenience. But, as with all battery cases, there are important variables to consider before making your purchase, ranging from size and weight to battery capacity and price. Find out how the PWR Case stacks up ahead.

Design
The Prong PWR is a two-piece case consisting of a detachable outer battery pack with rear folding prongs, and a slimmer inner case that resembles a typical silicon bumper for iPhones. You place your iPhone in the bumper case, which slides into the sled-shaped, tapered battery pack with a built-in male Lightning connector.

You could technically fit a naked iPhone, or use another case, but the device would fit loosely inside the battery pack and could fall out.

The battery pack has a smooth polycarbonate finish that easily collects fingerprints and smudges, especially if you have oily or sweaty hands. The outer case has a small lightning logo between the folding prongs, but otherwise it has no outward-facing branding or markings. Inside the case is a debossed Prong logo and a regulatory label.

Meanwhile, the inner case has thermoplastic edges that should offer average protection against minor drops and scratches, and provide added grip that the iPhone 6s so desperately needs. The rear is covered by clear plastic, except for the area between the top antenna band and upper edge of the smartphone, which is exposed to avoid obstruction of the rear camera and dual-LED flash.

The side power button and volume controls are both covered by plastic that is easy to press, while there are small pass-through cutouts for the Lightning connector, 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker, and bottom microphone. When the outer battery case is attached, these ports are all covered by the thick polycarbonate shell.

The PWR is undeniably thick and heavy, which was likely an unavoidable design tradeoff in order to integrate folding prongs. As someone who wears skinny jeans, one of my main concerns with battery cases is pocketability, and the PWR has a noticeably tight fit in my front pocket that leaves little to no room for my keys or wallet.

The PWR is also tall, adding about half an inch of height to your device. While the iPhone 6s form factor allows for acceptable one-handed usage, using this case will move you into two-handed usage territory unless you consistently rely on Reachability. If you deliberately avoided a Plus-sized iPhone for this reason, you may find this to be a nuisance.

The two-piece design, however, helps to mitigate these problems if you are okay with leaving the outer battery pack behind at times.

This half-inch chin contains a wide speaker grille that channels the iPhone 6s audio from the bottom to the front of the smartphone, but the sound quality becomes somewhat muffled and tinnier in the process. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack opening with an extension adapter included in the box.

Functionality
PWR Case has a built-in 2,600 mAh lithium polymer rechargeable battery pack that delivers on Prong's promise of up to 100% additional battery life. Comparatively, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s have 1,810 mAh and 1,715 mAh battery capacities respectively, so the PWR Case provides just over double the milliampere-hours on a full charge.

The folding prongs can charge both the internal iPhone battery and external battery pack simultaneously, or just the battery pack. The case took about two hours to fully charge from 0%. The charging level is indicated by four LED lights on the back of the case that can be seen on both the inside and outside of the shell.

A square button on the bottom of the PWR Case can be pressed to check the battery pack level and activate iPhone charging from backup battery. Holding the button down for 2-3 seconds will turn off the charging. Prong's FAQ details how to reset or put your PWR Case in Sleep Mode.

The case delivers output of 5V/1A (5 watts), which is equal to Apple's 5W USB Power Adapter and is the maximum charge rate that Apple allows for iPhone charging accessories. Prong also includes a Micro-USB cable in the box as a backup charging method, or to sync your iPhone with iTunes without detaching the outer battery case.

Meanwhile, the case has universal input that works with any 100-240V AC power outlet. However, the folding prongs can only be used with plugs in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, and select countries in South America. Elsewhere, a plug adapter is needed. Prong says PWR Case has both UL and FCC safety certification.

Value
PWR Case for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s is available for $99 with a 2,500 mAh lithium polymer battery through Amazon and Prong's website in four colors: black, clear, blue-black, and red-white. A larger 3,500 mAh capacity model is also listed for $119, but it is listed as out of stock on Prong's website. PWR Case is not available for iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6s Plus models at this time.

At least one contributing factor to the PWR Case's higher price is that it is certified under the MFi Program, meaning the accessory has been designed to connect specifically to iPhone and has been certified by the developer to meet Apple performance standards. MFi accessories are often more expensive than uncertified products.

The baseline for comparison should be Anker's Ultra Slim Extended Battery Case, which Wirecutter ranks as the best battery case for iPhone 6/6s. Anker's MFi certified case is just $40, slimmer, and has a larger 2,850 mAh battery capacity, so your decision should primarily be based on whether you think folding prongs are worth 2.5x extra.

Many other MFi-certified iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s battery cases without folding prongs are available in the $50 to $130 range, including models from Incipio, iBattz, Odoyo, PowerSkin, LifeProof, Boostcase, OtterBox, and other accessory makers, so Prong's PWR Case is on the higher end of prices compared to the overall market.

Pros
- Folding prongs
- Two-piece design
- Up to 100% extra battery life
- 1.0-1.2A quick charging
- LED charging level indicators
- MFi certified
- Sleep Mode
- Nice book-like magnetic packaging
Cons
- Big and bulky
- Higher-end price
- Makes one-handed usage difficult
- Speaker sounds muffled
Bottom Line
$60.

That's the price difference between Prong's PWR Case and Anker's Ultra Slim Extended Battery Case for iPhone 6/6s.

If folding prongs are something you are looking for, the PWR Case is your best bet. Otherwise, consider Anker or other brands.

iPhone SE early reviews: Retro on the outside, modern on the inside
» ‎ CIO

Tags: [edit]

On the surface, the fascination with the size of the iPhone SE seems odd. It’s not like we’ve never seen a 4-inch iPhone before. To understand what the big deal is, you have to go underneath the surface—you have to experience what’s behind the 4-inch screen to understand what the hype is all about.
Form the looks of the early reviews, the consensus is that the iPhone SE packs a lot of power in a smaller package. iPhone SE preorders began on March 24, and actual phones won’t reach the general public until March 31. In the meantime, a few media outlets got their hands on the iPhone SE and posted their reviews after a day or two of use. Here’s what they have to say. (Our review of the iPhone SE is in the works.

The FBI says it has hacked into the San Bernardino shooter's phone without Apple's help (AAPL)
» ‎ Tech

Tags: [edit]

The US Justice Department said on Monday that it had managed to access encrypted information stored on the iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters, ending a contentious standoff between the government and Apple.

The Justice Department told a federal court on Monday that it no longer needed Apple's help bypassing the iPhone's security measures, and it requested that its original order for Apple's technical assistance be withdrawn.

According to the DOJ, the reason it withdrew is because it was successfully able to access the data on the iPhone without Apple's help.

Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym vacated the original order.

Apple had vigorously fought the government's order to help it access the data by developing special software, arguing that it would effectively create a "backdoor" that compromised the security of its products. But the fact that the FBI was apparently able to get the encrypted data without Apple's help raised new questions about the strength of the security of Apple's devices.

Last week, the DOJ asked to delay a hearing over the issue because the FBI said it had found a "third-party" that may have been able to get into shooter Syed Farook's iPhone, meaning that Apple's help would not be needed. Monday's developments indicate that the FBI was successful.

The DOJ said in a statement:

The FBI has now successfully retrieved the data stored on the San Bernardino terrorist's iPhone and therefore no longer requires the assistance from Apple required by the Court Order. The FBI is currently reviewing the information on the phone, consistent with standard investigatory procedures.

It remains a priority for the government to ensure that law enforcement can obtain crucial digital information to protect national security and public safety, either with cooperation from relevant parties, or through the court system when cooperation fails. We will continue to pursue all available options for this mission, including seeking the cooperation of manufacturers and relying upon the creativity of both the public and private sectors.

The battle between the FBI and Apple surrounds Syed Farook's work-issued iPhone. After he and his wife killed 14 people in San Bernardino in December, investigators found his work phone, but were not able to access the data on it because it is encrypted.
Third-party workaround?
It is still unclear what the government did to access the data on Farook's phone. Speculation about the third party has centered on an experimental technique called NAND flash mirroring and an Israeli company, Cellebrite, that specializes in digital-forensic tools.

Apple lawyers said last week that they did not know the technique the FBI was using and said that they would seek to force the FBI to reveal it.

An FBI spokesman declined to reveal what data was found on Farook's iPhone or how law enforcement gained access in a phone call with reporters.

Monday's developments mark the end to a saga that began when a court order directing Apple to help the FBI bypass a lock-screen security measure on Farook's iPhone was unsealed. Apple appealed not only in court documents, but in an open letter from CEO Tim Cook posted on Apple's site, turning the legal battle into a public dispute.

Since then, the two sides have exchanged a volley of barbed legal filings, often loaded with hyperbolic language. The DOJ called Apple's stance "corrosive." Cook said the FBI wanted Apple to create "the software equivalent of cancer" during a TV interview.

The FBI was seeking to force Apple to write software that would allow investigators to try as many passcodes needed to unlock the device without tripping a security measure on the phone that would automatically erase any information on the device.

Here's the status report the FBI filed that says that it had successfully accessed the data on Farook's iPhone and requesting that the original court order be vacated:

FBI Apple CDCal Govts Status Report

Here's the order from Pym vacating the original court order:

Vacate Apple-FBI

An Apple spokesman issued this statement:

From the beginning, we objected to the FBI's demand that Apple build a backdoor into the iPhone because we believed it was wrong and would set a dangerous precedent. As a result of the government’s dismissal, neither of these occurred. This case should never have been brought.

We will continue to help law enforcement with their investigations, as we have done all along, and we will continue to increase the security of our products as the threats and attacks on our data become more frequent and more sophisticated.

Apple believes deeply that people in the United States and around the world deserve data protection, security and privacy. Sacrificing one for the other only puts people and countries at greater risk.

This case raised issues which deserve a national conversation about our civil liberties, and our collective security and privacy. Apple remains committed to participating in that discussion.

We Expect Women to Have Impostor Syndrome. That’s Why We Can’t Handle Hillary Clinton.
» ‎ Stories from Slate

Tags: [edit]

Since impostor syndrome became the workplace anxiety du jour a few years back, women have tried all manner of tricks to boost feelings of self-worth and convince themselves that they deserve every granule of success they achieve. New York Times editor Jazmine Hughes dressed like Cookie from Empire to help her feel like a boss at her new gig. A Harvard Business School professor prescribed “power poses” that boost testosterone. Writer Sarah Hagi has beseeched the heavens to grant her “the confidence of a mediocre white man.”

But wait! Once you’ve got a healthy self-image and are aware of all the strengths that landed you in a well-deserved job, you’re bound to fall into an equally damaging trap at the other end of the confidence spectrum. Women who achieve leadership positions in male-dominated industries are viewed with suspicion, especially when they ask to be compensated in money, power, or autonomy for their accomplishments. In the Huffington Post, Anna Kegler writes that Hillary Clinton and Melissa Harris-Perry demonstrate the pitfalls of competence bias, which holds women to higher standards than men:

While boys are raised to exaggerate their skills, take risks, fall down and pick themselves back up, girls are taught to think things through and second-guess, avoid risk and failure, and not raise their hand unless they’re sure they have the right answer. Lastly, girls absorb from the media that their real value [lies] in their appearance, at the same time that boys absorb the message that girls are not to be trusted.

That last bit is particularly relevant in Clinton’s case. The concept of trust has taken on gendered import in the current presidential campaign. Pegging Clinton as an inauthentic, conniving phony with little concrete evidence to support that characterization is, essentially, calling her an impostor. In a Guardian editorial on Monday, former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson pointed out that Clinton has the best truth-telling record of any candidate in the race, yet even 40 percent of Democrats think she can’t be trusted.

Kegler writes that voters and pundits are excruciatingly hard on Clinton and other women seeking political office because they shed the impostor syndrome impulse to cower in self-doubt and toil away in obscurity while risk-taking, self-promoting men get all the credit. By exhibiting confidence and publicly extolling their own virtues, female politicians running for office break the rules of the game and subvert existing power structures. As a politician, Clinton makes repeated asks for for money and votes. Implied at the end of every ask is “because I deserve it,” and often, “more than that white man I’m running against.”

A political campaign is almost like one complex, extended job interview—and in job interviews, women who ask to be rewarded for their relevant achievements face gendered discrimination. Studies have shown that women who negotiate their salaries are seen as greedy and less likable, while men who negotiate are also deemed less nice, but they don’t suffer the ensuing social cost that women do. Another way to look at a campaign, Kegler says, is as a “huge, public performance review.” In performance reviews, women get far more critical feedback than men, and they’re often critiqued for their personalities while men receive feedback on their work-related skills. Clinton and Bernie Sanders are a perfect duo to represent that trend. When professor and MSNBC host Harris-Perry demanded continued editorial control over her show after four years on the network, MSNBC responded by condemning her “challenging and unpredictable personality.” Kegler argues that she was punished for having the confidence and audacity to advocate for her own ambitions.

Competence bias breeds impostor syndrome by encouraging women to attribute their successes to elements outside their control, while attributing their failures to personal flaws. It also breeds entitlement syndrome, which causes men to chalk their failures up to external forces and credit their own skills and pluck for any successes. Seeing a woman like Clinton buck those expectations and buoy enough self-confidence to consider herself right for the presidency is an affront to the status quo. It’s a threatening prospect for those accustomed to watching women credit others for their accomplishments and cede power to men. For young women grappling with feelings of inadequacy in positions they fully deserve, Clinton and Harris-Perry offer a vision of what happens when women take the opposite route.

What Does Easter Sunday Fashion Look Like in South Africa?
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]

Unlike the soft pastels and frilly dresses that traditionally proliferate in the United States, “Easter Sunday best” has a decidedly more colorful take in tropical Durban, South Africa. Each year, crowds of holiday observers from all over the country migrate to the coastal city for the weekend, dressed in an array of styles according to their varied religious beliefs. In local churches and on the beaches, photographer Chris Saunders encountered Zulu traditional healers wrapped up in animal-printed sarongs as well as evangelical Congolese immigrants sporting traditional African wax prints offset by Dior jewelry—disparate fashions that speak to the diversity of the peoples and faiths that call this region home. “I wanted to show the multicultural aspect of South African urban life,” he says.

Above, a look at some of the local fashions that define Easter Sunday in Durban, South Africa.

Supermodel Veronica Webb on Perfect Skin and Starting Over
» ‎ Vogue

Tags: [edit]
Whether she was walking for Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent, breaking boundaries as the first black model to land a major beauty contract, appearing in seminal films like Jungle Fever, or publishing her own collection of autobiographical essays, Veronica Webb—whose career provided the template for today’s model multi-hyphenates—was an essential presence on the fashion scene of the 1990s.

Returning to the catwalk during the Fall 2016 season, Webb both joined Naomi Campbell and Alek Wek at Yeezy’s much-hyped presentation and treated Sophie Theallet’s audience to a rare runway appearance. Though she still enjoys the thrill of fashion month’s controlled chaos and is signed to Trump’s Legends Division, these days Webb is involved in a whole new side of the industry, launching a skin-care business with Rodan + Fields; kick-starting her official website, TheRealVeronicaWebb.com; and serving as beauty editor of luxury indie mag As If. Now a mother, entrepreneur, and editor, Webb reflects on more than 30 years of success—and why her 50s may be the most exciting time of her life.

What made you want to come back and do fashion shows again this season?
Well, fashion is my first love and has been since I was a kid, because my mother made all my clothes when I was a child. To me, making clothes is so much fun and so intimate. It makes me happy, like baking cookies. My kids are bigger now, my youngest is now 11 1/2, so I’ve got some time as well. They still need me just as much, but in a different way. Sophie Theallet is such a great friend of mine, and we worked together in all kinds of capacities. She’s like family, and she asked me to do her show, and then Kanye asked me to do his show—the timing was right.

Fashion is always exciting. It’s extremely so because of the newness of it, because of the number of people who have to come together in order to make it happen, so there’s a lot of creativity. It’s like the circus, so it’s a fun world. At one point in my life I used to be part of this circus, traveling in the caravan with everyone. Now it’s really fun to sort of be the special guest star.

1990s nostalgia is back in a big way—why do you think that the ’90s remain so influential?
The ’90s was an extremely strong period in terms of design, and I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that new fabrics were invented. The competition to get into art schools was incredibly fierce, and also it was at that time when everyone still knew how to do everything by hand. The best of what machines were doing was coming in. So it was the beginning of being able to laser-cut patterns and do heat seams. A lot of clothes that had previously been completely out of reach for people started to become more available as a result of the new technology.

Then bridge fashion started to happen, and things like DKNY, which revolutionized the whole market and put designer clothes within the reach of a lot of people. So it was an exciting time, a period of real change. For models, everything was still shot on film then, and you had a group of models that was really highly trained, because you had to remember everything you were doing; every single shot was a performance. You had to retain everything you did that worked and repeat frame by frame, and the same was true for the photographers. There was the mystery of “What are we going to get?” The closest you got to seeing the final product was looking at a Polaroid.

Coming from working on film, how do you feel the switch to digital impacts your work?
I mean, it really shorthands everything. It’s so quick. I took ballet, so it’s kind of like being in class and having that mirror in front of you. Steven Meisel always had a mirror there so you could see what you were doing. Having that monitor there is a bit like having that mirror. It feels very natural for me; I love technology because it’s so productive and because it stretches creativity for you in other directions. The one thing that it does take away is the mystery, as well as the idea. You don’t have that time to really ruminate and fantasize about what it is that you’re making and how it’s going to turn out. That is another state of creativity that I like a lot because it’s much more dreamlike. We would wait three months to see what an editorial was going to look like, and it would be a big surprise once you got the final product.

You’ve been working with Isaac Mizrahi since the start of your career; what is it like now to see him getting a retrospective?
Isaac and I were actually in the halls at Parsons at the same time. Isaac was graduating when I was there in my senior year in the summer program. Isaac is like family. Teri Agins said it best; she calls him a bottomless pit of creativity. He never ceases to amaze me and he never ceases to inspire me; it’s like ideas ooze out of his pores and he’s a completionist—so when he gets an idea, he has to see it through to the end. It’s amazing to see someone who’s driven that way, in so many directions, whether it’s film, theater, singing, dancing, playing the piano, cooking, decorating, making furniture—if he dreams it up, it happens.

As beauty editor of As If and now an entrepreneur, cosmetics and skin care play a big part in your life; how did your fascination with beauty begin?
My grandmother, who came from Louisville, Kentucky, was incredibly interested in beauty. She used to save all the hair out of her brush and make wigs from it. She wore high heels every day, to the point where her heels couldn’t touch the floor anymore. She had vinegar rinses for her hair, and she used to sleep with gloves on at night. She was a very manicured, perfect-looking lady. My mother was sort of the opposite end of the spectrum; she was incredibly simple when it came to beauty. No makeup, no nothing, all-natural products. My mother made everything, because she grew up on a farm with my grandmother—although, you could never tell that my grandmother had gone anywhere near a farm. My mother made soap, she made balms for her hands, she was just kind of self-sufficient and very well groomed.

I have always liked makeup; it went hand in hand with my love of clothes. Makeup was not something that I used a lot of, but I loved its transformative power. One thing that I learned early on was to find one good feature and play it up. It’s the easiest thing to do and it’s the easiest way not to make a mistake. I became famous in the ’90s for those big brows and just really perfect skin, really little foundation, and no color, no lipstick, no eyeshadow, nothing. That was my look for a long time.

How has your look evolved these days?
Once you get to be over 25, your beauty needs start to change—especially in an industry like fashion, where your face is your stock-in-trade. I really started to get very serious about finding different treatments and finding different things that were specifically there to keep my skin looking great. It wasn’t until my late 20s when I embraced the combination of health and beauty. It’s very easy to do beauty only from the outside when you’re young, because you look perfect anyway—and you’re young. Around 26 or 27, that’s when I started to add in health very seriously. I’m not really a gym person, but I’ve made it a habit since then to learn to do something new athletically every year. This year it was figure skating, but in the past I’ve run marathons, done boxing—it’s about challenging yourself.

It’s my job to know what is available in terms of health and beauty treatments, and to try it out and figure out what works for me. I’ve used a lot of different things to deal with the changes from pregnancy and hormones and to deal with my melasma. I used a lot of things that were fast-acting, but in the end were harsh, and they didn’t give me the results that I really wanted, which was a slow, steady progression to a very natural-looking skin tone, which is how I came to Rodan + Fields. I think people need to educate themselves a bit about ingredients; they really need to think about what their primary needs are and understand their health.

What would you say defines this period of your life and career?
One thing that I also learned from my mother is that you’re never too old to be something, to do something, or to try something. For me, starting this business with my sisters is amazing, because I have my own franchise and I have my own business. At 51, to strike out on starting another global business—I have to thank my mother for giving me the courage to do that.

Making these three changes to my tech habits helped me sleep better and could do the same for you
» ‎ Tech

Tags: [edit]

Since the explosion of smartphone and tablet sales in the past decade, you may have started to hear more about "blue light" and how staring at a screen before bedtime can make it hard to fall asleep.

To get a better sense of "blue light" and what it means for your sleep, we spoke to a medical school professor and fellow at the American Academy of Sleep Medicine who explained the benefits and potential pitfalls that come with reducing your blue light intake.

His message was that although reducing the amount of blue light in your life will do your body good, doing so while increasing the amount of time you spend with electronics before bed will make the benefits moot. It's like driving a four wheel drive car in the snow, the technology will help you in that situation, but shouldn't replace cautious driving.

As a longtime insomniac and gadget geek, I wanted to see how blue light was impacting my sleep, so I made a few big changes to my technology and my lifestyle over the course of a few months. The results have been incredible. My eyes no longer feel strained, and the amount of time it takes me to fall asleep has dropped sharply.

Blue light shouldn't be demonized, it's all around us — thanks sun! — but reducing it can't hurt.
Change #1: I Installed F.lux on my computer

All the colors displayed on your computer's screen are a combination of red, green, and blue. F.lux is a software program that adjusts the color balance over the course of your day, slowly turning the dial down on blue colors while turning up the red and green. The results take a little getting used to — your screen takes on a saturated looking orange tinge, but that can be tweaked depending on how much blue light you want getting through. Considering how much time we spend in front of a computer if you're only able to make one change to reduce blue light F.lux is a good choice.
Change #2 I Enabled blue light settings on my phone and tablet

F.lux hasn't yet made the jump to mobile, although in one case that's really not their choice, but that doesn't mean mobile developers haven't taken notice. Apple has chosen to bake blue light reduction directly into iOS through Night Shift, a setting that, like F.lux, reduces the amount of blue light your screen outputs over the course of your day. On Android, the Twilight app offers similar features. I've only had limited hands on time with Apple's Night Shift, but so far it feels like a nice improvement for all those late-night social media sessions. Apple is getting so aggressive about this that the 9.7 inch iPad Pro has a "true tone" display which changes your screen's screen tone depending on the light temperature in the room.
Change #3 I bought blue light reducing glasses

Searching "blue light glasses" on Amazon will bring up a ton of results, and if you're committed to reducing your blue light intake at all times these special specs can be a sound investment. Most aren't fashion-focused, and are meant to be used in the evening, the time when reducing blue light is shown to help the most. Tokyo-based eyemaker JINS took a different approach: make a line of glasses that only reduces 25% of blue light, and make them look like an average pair of glasses. This line of glasses, called JINS 'Screens' are useful because it's not always possible to install software like F.lux on a work computer, which is the screen many of us stare at for a majority of the day. I've gone through stretches of wearing and not wearing them to see if I could tell the difference and my eyes were definitely more strained during the periods where I didn't wear them. JINS Screens are available in both prescription and non perscription variations and a couple of different frame styles.
It might not help you that much but it's worth a try
Those are the three changes I made, and although they made a difference the best way to lower your blue light exposure is to put down any device with a screen on it. But that's becoming more difficult whether for work or play, so reducing blue light any way you can is the next best thing. This isn't a problem that will be going away any time soon, so it wouldn't be surprising to see more companies take it into consideration.

It Took Belgium Three Days to Realize It Had Arrested the Wrong Man for the Brussels Airport Bombing
» ‎ Stories from Slate

Tags: [edit]

This is bad:

The Belgian authorities on Monday conceded another enormous blunder in their investigation into the attacks last week on Brussels. They freed a man they had charged with terrorism and murder, acknowledging that a witness had mistakenly identified him as a bomber in a dark hat and white coat in an airport surveillance photo.

The man, who was arrested on Thursday and charged on Friday, was released after three days in custody, during which some officials publicly vilified him as a terrorist.

That's from the New York Times. The man in question is named Fayçal Cheffou and had been identified in a photo lineup by a cab driver who is believed to have (unwittingly) driven the airport suicide bombers to their target destination; the third suspect was captured on a security camera and is believed to have possibly abandoned plans to set off a third bomb.

Here's more on Belgian law enforcement officials' missed opportunities to apprehend several suspects in the March 22 attacks before the attacks were carried out.

The death toll from the attacks is now officially at 35 with 96 individuals still hospitalized.

Transmission, the popular Mac torrent app, is now on Windows

Tags: [edit]

Everyone who downloads torrents has his or her own preferred bit torrent app, and now Windows users can try out one client that's among the most popular for OS X. Transmission, which has been around for Macs since 2005, has made its way to Windows, promising the same speed, reliability, and lightweight footprint that it's known for on Apple's operating system.

Everyone who downloads torrents has his or her own preferred bit torrent app, and now Windows users can try out one client that's among the most popular for OS X. Transmission, which has been around for Macs since 2005, has made its way to Windows, promising the same speed, reliability, and lightweight footprint that it's known for on Apple's operating system. As TorrentFreak notes, the layout and overall feel of Transmission hasn't changed much and it's still free to use; even better, it remains ad-free on Windows just as on Macs.

“The only difference right now is that it runs on Windows,” Mike Gelfand, who leads the Transmission for Windows project, told TorrentFreak. "We’ll see how it goes, some features could be added later on which are specific to Windows and aren’t needed on other platforms." Windows support was the last missing piece for Transmission, though the app still isn't being heavily promoted. That's likely to soon change, but it may be a little late to pull some users away from their chosen apps like Deluge, uTorrent, or Vuze. If you're up for giving it a shot, you can download Transmission for Windows right here.
