China on Sunday accused Taiwan's spy agencies of stepping up efforts to steal intelligence with the aim of "infiltration" and "sabotage", and warned the island against further damaging already strained cross-strait ties. The relevant agencies in Taiwan must end such activities immediately, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing An Fengshan, a spokesman of China's policy-making Taiwan Affairs Office. On Saturday, state television kicked off the first in a series of programs detailing cases in which Chinese students studying in Taiwan are said to be targeted by domestic spies who lure them with money, love and friendship. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2MzKh72 via Latest News

Donut County is a game that has been on my radar for the past few weeks. It is available on multiple platforms, including iOS but, most notably, not Android, and has received rave reviews from almost everyone who has played it. On Steam, for example, the game currently stands at 'Very Positive', which, when you consider the generally cynical Steam audience, is rather astonishing. So what is Donut County then? The game is essentially about controlling a hole in the ground that you can move around to swallow things. I should mention right now that this review contains innumerable... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2NTRWSF via IFTTT

The iPhones got bigger this week - literally! Apple has historically offered smaller screens but this week it unveiled a whopping 6.5" screen. Is it too much? Then there's the 5.8" model.

Let's talk about which of the three iPhones impressed you the most. Let's start with the iPhone XS Max, the largest, most impressive and most expensive of the three.

Apple's Fall event was very busy this year with the release of three new iPhones and a follow-up to the Apple Watch. And now that we've examined the devices themselves in detail it's time to focus on what they mean for the market. Here's our take on it. Winners Large screen iPhones Yeah, the iPhone XS Max isn't the first large-screened phone from Apple, but it's undoubtedly the first reasonably-sized iPhone with a big screen and good screen-to-body ratio thanks to the edge-to-edge front display. And if last year's iPhone X is anything to go by, the 6.5-inch OLED screen on the XS... from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2Otewyk via IFTTT

The vivo V11 (aka V11 Pro) felt what it's like to be loved by fans. Last week's poll ended up 70/30 in its favor. The reasoning behind the 30% that voted "hate it" is a tad surprising. For some a notch, no matter how small, is too much. The trendy teardrop design is as minimal as it gets, not taking up much room out of the status bar. And most people are quite fine with this design, though not all. Surprisingly, the outdated microUSB port was not much of an issue. We guess this means there are still people who haven't made the switch to USB-C. from GSMArena.com - Latest articles https://ift.tt/2D3bRdD via IFTTT

Emmanuel Macron has provoked ridicule and anger by telling an unemployed man that he could find him work "just by crossing the road”. The 25-year-old aspiring gardener complained of being unable to find a job when he spoke to the French president during a public open day at the Elysée Palace on Saturday.  Mr Macron advised him to change his line of work, saying jobs were readily available in catering or construction.  “Hotels, cafés, restaurants, I can find you [work] by crossing the road. They just want people who are ready to work,” he said. There’s not a single place I go to where they don’t say they’re looking for people." Industry officials say about 100,000 vacancies in hotel and restaurants need filling in France. They have urged Mr Macron to allow immigrants to take the jobs.  But the off-the-cuff remark by Mr Macron, often derided by critics as the "president of the rich”, was immediately mocked on social media.
