Hasta La Gadget!

The other day thanks to a retailer listing the Moto G5 and G5 Plus, we managed to get a glimpse at the specs and images of the upcoming handset. In case that wasn’t enough, new alleged hands-on photos have made their way online thanks to Brazilian website Dudu Rocha Tec (via PhoneArena).

The leaked photos don’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know based on previous leaks, but we guess it more or less confirms what it will look like in real-life and we have to say it looks pretty good! The leaked photos also confirms that the Moto G5 will feature a fingerprint sensor at the bottom of the phone, which could also double up as a home button which will be something new for the company.

As for specs, just in case you missed the previous leaks, the Moto G5 and G5 Plus will differ mostly in its screen size and chipset. The former will feature a 5-inch display, while the latter will be slightly larger at 5.2-inches, but both are expected to have Full HD displays. Under the hood the Moto G5 will be powered by a Snapdragon 430 while the G5 Plus will pack a Snapdragon 625.

Motorola is expected to officially announce the Moto G5 at MWC 2017, or at least that’s what we’re assuming based on a countdown timer that was recently launched on their website, but do check back with us next week if you’d like the official details.

At the moment the current Android name is “Nougat” as Google makes their way through the alphabet, and so far Google has been going with different names of desserts. That being said in 2017 we can expect the next major build of Android, which we can only assume will be called Android “O”.

So the question is, what will the next build of Android be known as? In a recent tweet by Android SVP Hiroshi Lockheimer, it seems that Lockheimer is teasing that it could be called “Oreo” which we guess does make sense. However it should be noted that since Oreo isn’t a generic dessert name, we have to wonder if Google might have another partnership in place like they did with Android 4.4 KitKat.

It is also entirely possible that Lockheimer is trolling us with Oreo since it is a pretty obvious name, but we can’t really think of any other dessert that starts with O that is short and sweet, unless Google plans on going back to their “Ice Cream Sandwich” naming days. In any case it might be a while before we find out the details.

Google will be hosting Google I/O 2017 later this year from the 17-19th of May where they’ll presumably show off/tease the next Android build, but as to whether or not the name will be revealed remains to be seen.

Both Microsoft and Google have agreed to demote piracy links in search results in the UK, it has been announced, in their latest efforts to help crack down on Internet piracy. This move, if it proceeds, will be a first of its kind, and will result in Google Search and Bing demoting websites in search results that give access to … Continue reading

A battered red phone once belonging to Adolf Hitler, possibly used to send untold numbers of people to their deaths during World War II, has been sold at auction for $243,000.

The personal traveling phone, which features an engraved swastika and the Nazi leader’s name on the back, was sold to an unidentified buyer by telephone on Sunday, according to CNN.

The seller, Alexander Historical Auctions in Chesapeake City, Maryland, described the phone as “Hitler’s mobile device of destruction.”

Both the phone and a porcelain dog were recovered from the mass murderer’s bunker by British officer Ralph Rayner soon after the war ended, according to the auction house. Ranulf Rayner said the items were presented to his father as gifts by the Russian forces then in control of the city.

Speaking in a video on the auction house’s Facebook page, Ranulf Rayner says that Hitler’s personal telephonist had confirmed that the phone belonged to the dictator during his last two years of life.

The device was used for traveling. In the video, Rayner shows how the handset has to be twisted at an angle to be lifted, which prevented it from coming loose during transportation.

“It was then used, no doubt, as a cell phone and went wherever Hitler was traveling,” Rayner says in the video.

The auction house highlighted that point in its catalog.

“This was not a staid office telephone used to solicit contributions to the party, or to answer polite calls at the Berghof,” the catalog states, referring to Hitler’s home in the Bavarian Alps. “This was Hitler’s mobile device of destruction, used in vehicles, trains, his field headquarters, at the Wolf’s Lair … and in the last desperate days deep beneath Berlin.”

Perhaps just as sinister as the phone is the porcelain Alsatian, which The Associated Press reported was sold to a different buyer for $24,300. It was allegedly made by slave labor at the Dachau concentration camp and likely presented to Hitler by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, according to the auction house.

Although the phone and the figurine may be one-of-a-kind historical objects, many auction houses refuse to sell Nazi-related items. Sotheby’s and Christie’s do not trade in Third Reich memorabilia. Such items are outlawed for sale in France, Germany, Austria and Hungary, the Independent reported.

Ranulf Raynor expressed the hope to CNN that the phone would be purchased by a museum where it could help “remind the world of the horrors of war.”

“I certainly won’t miss it,” he said. “It’s a fairly sinister bit of kit and I’ve always lived in fear of someone trying to steal it. I’ve also been told it’ll bring me bad luck.”

Vandals in the St. Louis area have caused extensive damage to a Jewish cemetery in University City.

Numerous headstones at the Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery were toppled this weekend, among other damage, police said. Cemetery employees discovered the damage Monday morning. 

Fox2 St. Louis reporter Andy Banker said he counted at least 100 toppled headstones when he walked through the cemetery, which was established by a group of Jewish immigrants from Russia in 1893.

”Numerous plots were damaged and [headstones were] pushed over,” Lt. Fredrick Lemons of the University City Police Department told The Huffington Post. 

Lemons declined to comment on the possibility of the vandalism being classified as a hate crime. “Right now, everything is under investigation,” Lemons said. “We’re looking into all possible leads.”

Police say they’re reviewing security camera footage from the cemetery and surrounding businesses.

The damage is the latest in a string of anti-Semitic incidents that have occurred nationally since Donald Trump began his campaign. On Monday alone, 11 Jewish community centers across the country received threatening phone calls and bomb threats, forcing closures and evacuations. Since the beginning of the year, there have been such 67 incidents in 27 states and one Canadian province, according to Marla Cohen, communications manager for the Jewish Community Center Association. 

As HuffPost’s Matt Ferner reported Monday: 

Trump has mostly shrugged off questions about anti-Semitism. He ignored a question about it last week during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussing his margin of victory in the election instead, and cut off a Jewish journalist in a press conference the next day before he could ask a question about the issue.

In a statement to NBC’s Peter Alexander on Monday, the White House press secretary said the threats made against Jewish community centers were “unacceptable,” but made no reference to anti-Semitism.
