Image
By Nadoun Coulibaly OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) - Attackers in Burkina Faso's capital killed eight people and wounded dozens more in a coordinated assault on the army headquarters and French embassy that France's foreign minister said was likely carried out by "terrorist groups". West Africa's arid Sahel region is suffering a spike in violence by militant groups, some with links to al Qaeda and Islamic State, that is drawing an increasingly aggressive response from countries including France and the United States. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which is the third major assault on Ouagadougou in just over two years. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2Fjou43 via Latest News

DJI Mavic Air Review - A rookie's perspective

Image
Introduction I'd been thinking about buying a drone for a long time. On a recent holiday in Thailand, as I was bouncing around on a quad-bike trying to film the rest of the family, I knew drone footage would look an order of magnitude better. A couple of the guys in the office wax lyrical about theirs so I thought it was about time I took the plunge. This rookie was about to get his first aircraft. For once, I kept my sensible head on and decided against buying the most expensive model by default - but which one? All that I was sure of was that it had to record 4K footage.

Weekly poll results: the ideal weight for a phone is between 140g and 170g

Image
For most people, the ideal weight of a phone is between 140g and 170g. We were surprised to see how many people commented on our poll that "lighter is better". There's a sort of stigma around light phones - the heavier handsets just feel more durable. Of course, that is mostly an illusion. A phone made of polycarbonate will like outlive a metal phone while being lighter. But "plastic" doesn't sell phones, metal and glass do - just look at a list of the best-selling phones.
