Trump says May's Brexit plan kills hope of a U.S. trade deal

Trump says May's Brexit plan kills hope of a U.S. trade dealPresident Donald Trump directly criticized Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit strategy, saying it had probably killed off hope of a U.S.-British trade deal and that she had failed to take his advice on how to negotiate with the European Union. In an interview published just hours before he was due to have lunch with May and tea with Queen Elizabeth on Friday, Trump chided the "very unfortunate" results of the prime minister's Brexit negotiation. "If they do a deal like that, we would be dealing with the European Union instead of dealing with the UK, so it will probably kill the deal," Trump told the Rupert Murdoch-owned Sun newspaper.

Does J&J’s Baby Powder Cause Cancer? A Jury Just Said Yes With an Enormous $4.69 Billion Penalty

Johnson & Johnson has been hit with its biggest penalty yet over the allegation that its talcum powders cause cancer.

A Missouri jury decided Thursday that the pharma and consumer goods giant should pay a whopping $4.69 billion--$550 million in compensatory damages and $4.14 billion in punitive damages--to 22 women who say J&J’s talc-based products gave them ovarian cancer.

The claims rest on the fact that talc, a clay mineral, is often found in deposits alongside asbestos ore, which definitely is a cancer risk.

J&J says there is no asbestos in its baby powder and other talc-based products, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted a survey in 2009 and 2010 that seemed to back this up. However, the prosecution in this case argued that J&J and the FDA’s tests were flawed.

The company faces around 9,000 of these cases. The previous highest damages ruling was for $417 million, in August last year. However, this and a $72 million award in a separate case were both overturned on the basis of insufficient evidence and alleged jury misconduct in setting high damages.

J&J says it will appeal the latest verdict, which it argues is “the product of a fundamentally unfair process.”

“Every verdict against Johnson & Johnson in this court that has gone through the appeals process has been reversed and the multiple errors present in this trial were worse than those in the prior trials which have been reversed,” the company said.

Its shares fell 1.9% following the ruling.

Meanwhile, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Mark Lanier, said in a statement that J&J should either pull its talc products from shelves or mark them with a “serious warning.”

WhatsApp to get handy ‘mark as read’ and ‘mute’ shortcuts in notification shade

The WhatsApp logo on Android.

  • WhatsApp is adding a ‘mark as read’ and ‘mute’ option for messages in the notification shade.
  • The feature hasn’t appeared in the latest Play Store beta just yet, but we expect it to launch in the near future.
  • The platform has seen several new features this year, including better group chat functionality and group calls.

WhatsApp has gained quite a few features in 2018 already, from new group chat controls to hiding media from your gallery. The messaging platform isn’t done for the year though, because it’s gaining two tiny but useful features, according to WABetaInfo.

The outlet reports that a ‘mark as read’ shortcut is in the works for the notification shade. This button will live alongside the in-line reply button, allowing you to quickly give an incoming message those two blue ticks for the sender’s convenience.

The website also spotted a ‘mute’ shortcut, letting you quickly silence a contact or group via the notification shade too. The current way to mute a contact/group is to press and hold on the chat in question, then tap the resulting mute icon at the top.

We’re not seeing either feature in the latest WhatsApp beta version from the Play Store ourselves, but we’re expecting it in the coming weeks. These aren’t the biggest WhatsApp additions by any measure, but they’re in keeping with the steady stream of improvements and features we’ve seen on the platform this year.

Google “working on a fix” for long-standing Pixel 2 camera problem

The top half of the Google Pixel 2 in light blue showing a closeup of the camera module.

  • Google has said it is working to address a Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL camera bug that has been with the phones since launch.
  • The “fatal camera error” message sometimes appears when the user launches the Pixel 2 camera app or tries to snap a picture.
  • Google made the comments on Twitter last weekend.

Google has acknowledged a camera issue that has affected Pixel 2 devices since launch. Responding to a question on Twitter last weekend, Google said it was aware of the “fatal camera error” bug and “working on a fix.”

Google’s tweets flew under our radar until folks on Reddit pointed them out yesterday. The issue, mentioned in our Pixel 2 problems article, sees the camera app sometimes crash when trying to open it or take a picture. For some people, clearing the camera app cache in the settings menu has been a temporary fix, while others have had to factory reset their device. The Pixel user chatting to Google on Twitter said neither solution had worked for them, however.

The earliest complaints about this appeared online on November 2, a couple of weeks after the Pixel 2 was released on October 19. It has been reported on both the standard Pixel 2 and the larger Pixel 2 XL.

Pixel 2 owners still encountering the message will likely be pleased to hear Google is working to solve the problem, though some might still be asking why it is taking so long to address. We’re expecting the Pixel 3 to launch in the next three months or so — will it be fixed before the new model arrives? The jury’s still out, but we’ll let you know when we have more information.

Android 8.0 Oreo update tracker: July 13, 2018

Welcome to our Android 8.0 Oreo update tracker. Following its public release in August 2017, Oreo is steadily finding its way to more and more Android smartphones.

Google has been working to reduce fragmentation and ensure that more devices receive the latest Android version in a timely fashion. It’s still a work in progress though; the Android 8.0 Oreo update is still far from widespread, as the Android version distribution figures show.

You’re probably wondering “When will my phone get Oreo?” This tracker will help with that question. We’re collecting all the information we can find on the rollout of Android 8, including past OTAs and upcoming releases.

Without further ado, here’s what we know so far about the Android 8.0 Oreo update.

What’s new in Android 8.0 Oreo? We have all the features here

Got Oreo?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Before we start

As with older versions, the update to Android 8.0 Oreo has been released by Google, but many factors influence its actual availability. First and foremost, your manufacturer and carrier (in case you own a carrier version) control when your phone will get Oreo. Other factors are your specific model, your location in the world, and whether you bought the device unlocked or through a carrier.

Just because your specific phone or tablet is not on the list, it doesn’t mean it won’t get the Oreo update. The opposite is also true. We make efforts to collect accurate information for all manufacturers, but mistakes happen – if you spot one, let us know.
