Naomi Watts sounds pretty chuffed to have taken on a role in the forthcoming Game of Thrones prequel series, in which she plays what’s been described as a “charismatic socialite” with a dark secret. That is, she sounds pretty excited even if she’s not revealing too much at the moment other than her giddiness at what’s to come and about having joined what she describes as the “fantastic world” presented in George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy franchise.

The ongoing US-led opposition to Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., the biggest telecommunications equipment maker in the world, took a sharp turn today with the unveiling of 23 criminal charges against the China-based company.

Acting US Attorney General Matthew Whitaker led a news conference this afternoon, during which he explained that a grand jury in Seattle had indicted two affiliates of Huawei on 10 federal crimes related to accusations that Huawei stole technology from T-Mobile. Specifically, robotic technology that tests the durability of smartphones. Meanwhile, a grand jury in New York has also returned an indictment alleging 13 crimes committed by Huawei, its CFO, an affiliate in Iran and one of its subsidiaries in the US. Those charges are related to allegations that Huawei committed financial fraud by violating US sanctions against doing business with Iran.

$%name Smartphone users are more loyal to operating systems than ever by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

This likely won’t come as a shock to many of you, but new research from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) shows that smartphone users are more likely to stick with the same mobile operating system than ever before. CIRP says that from October to December 2018, both Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS “enjoyed their highest loyalty rates measured to-date.” If you got a new phone last quarter, chances are it had the same operating system as your previous phone, as the percentage of activations with the same OS was over 90% for Android and iOS.

One of the more peculiar — and yet wholly unsurprising — aspects of Donald Trump’s presidency is his ongoing insistence that Apple manufacture the iPhone in the United States.

“Don’t forget, Apple makes their products in China,” Trump said at a press conference a few weeks ago. “I told Tim Cook, a friend of mine, make your product in the US. Build those big, beautiful plants that go on for miles. Build those plants in the US. I like that even better…”

$%name The world’s loneliest duck has been murdered by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

For about a year, the tiny Pacific island of Niue had a mallard duck population of exactly one. Trevor, a friendly duck that showed up on the island out of seemingly nowhere, quickly became a local celebrity, which is fairly easy when the human population of the entire island is only around 1,600.

He was a beloved mascot for island dwellers, but it now seems as though his life has been cut tragically short. Local fans who maintain a Facebook page dedicated to the duck have confirmed that he was found dead near his favorite puddle, and a pack of dogs are the suspected culprits.

Hearing someone across a crowded room can be close to impossible thanks to the way sound waves spread, but what if we could project audio with the same precision that we can project light?

Researchers from MIT have developed a system capable of doing just that, creating a targeted audio stream that can be fired at a person’s ears in much the same way that a laser pointer fires a beam of light. It’s accurate, safe, and can transmit music and even speech to a target without being heard by others.
