The LG G8 ThinQ was unveiled back in February at MWC, to much less fanfare than its Korean rival Samsung's flagships. Despite the lack of hype, before and after release, it's still a pretty interesting handset nevertheless. But the most important question is undoubtedly: how well can it survive a torture test? As always, we turn to Zack from YouTube channel JerryRigEverything to answer that question for us in video form. Like all of these durability tests, he starts out by scratching the phone, then goes on to burn its screen, and finally tries to bend it.

Economic growth exceeded expectations in April as the market added 263,000 new jobs and unemployment sank to its lowest level in 49 years, according to Labor Department data released Friday.The 263,000 new jobs easily surpassed the 217,000 analysts had predicted, while unemployment dropped 0.2 points to 3.6 percent, its lowest level since December 1969.The average wage grew 0.2 percent, 6 cents, to $27.77 an hour, falling just short of expectations. Average hourly earnings growth held steady at 3.2 percent year over year, while the average work week shrank by a tenth of an hour to 34.4 hours.The economic expansion is months away from breaking the record for the longest in U.S. history as the economy continues to add jobs despite a labor market close to saturation: The drop in the unemployment rate was aided by the exit of 490,000 workers from the labor force, bringing the labor-force-participation rate down to 62.8 percent.The biggest gains were seen in professional and business servic

The Islamic State group's self-proclaimed "caliphate" may have collapsed in the Middle East but Asia provides fertile territory for a resurrection, analysts say, as last month's bloody Easter Sunday suicide attacks in Sri Lanka have shown. Factors including poverty, discrimination, radicalisation via social media, weak governance, and poor gathering and sharing of intelligence mean the region is vulnerable to attacks by extremists operating under the IS banner -- even if they aren't directly supported by the group. IS lost the last of its Middle East territory in late March but analysts warned the defeat would not kill off their ideology, and just weeks later the group claimed responsibility for one of the worst militant strikes on civilians in Asia. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2JabvTK via Latest News
