Samsung is definitely not launching the Galaxy S8 but it will reveal the launch date of the new premium flagship smartphone during the Mobile World Congress. Samsung will have a special event on February 27 and by then we’ll know when the Galaxy S8 will be announced. The South Korean tech giant usually introduces its newest Galaxy S phone at the MWC each year but this year is different as the S8 will be delayed. Samsung is believed to be holding an Unpacked event this March in New York. We’re guessing it will be late March because that’s what we’ve been saying the past few weeks–late March or early April launch. As for the exact date, reporters in Korea will know earlier when the Galaxy S8 will be announced according to Koh Dong-jin, President of Samsung’s mobile business. This year will be a bit different but we’re expecting that Samsung has finally and properly addressed the battery issue. Hopefully, the  Quality Assurance tests ,  protocols, and safety measures , the next...

RUSSIA-UK RELATIONS British actor and writer Stephen Fry joked about Russian hacking at the opening ceremony of the 70th British Academy Film Awards. Source: imago stock&people/Global Look Press British actor and writer Stephen Fry joked about Russian hacking at the opening ceremony of the 70 th  British Academy Film Awards. “Let’s crack on with the awards themselves and find out who the Russians have decided has won,” Fry said, Metro news UK  reported on Feb. 12.  In suggesting that the Russians might have messed with the results of the BAFTA vote, Fry humorously referred to allegations that Russian hackers influenced the result of the 2016 presidential elections in the United States, which resulted in the election of Donald Trump as president. It was one of many remarks about the American president, who is despised by left-leaning groups. The comedian also called Meryl Streep, “One of the greatest actresses of all time,” adding that, “only a blithering idiot w...

 6 OF THE 14 corners of Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo, the scariest is the hard left-hander at the end of the half-mile straightaway. That’s because by the time you hit it, you’ve had the space to accumulate a triple-digit velocity, and for me, the time to worry about how to drop enough speed and make the turn without losing control of a half-million dollar supercar. The  2017 Aventador S  produces all the skin-tickling sounds and riotous thrust you expect from a  Lamborghini . But this revised version of Sant’Agata Bolognese’s current flagship, which starts at $421,350, promises more than  Sturm und Drang . Lamborghini built this car to make you race through that corner, and love doing it. More Everything Take that corner at speed in the first generation Aventador, which launched in 2011, and anything can happen. That car paired Lamborghini’s trademark alien looks with parent company Audi’s left-brain innovation, but...

Compact SUV confirmed as the first model in an all-new Volvo 40-series family by  Mark Tisshaw Volvo ’s crucial new  XC40 compact SUV  will be launched this autumn, R&D boss Henrik Green has confirmed. Speaking to Autocar at the  Detroit motor show , Green said the XC40 will be the first model to use Volvo’s CMA architecture and the base development work of the car has been completed. “There’s a big chance it’ll be one of the most successful cars in our line-up,” he said. The family of 40-series models, which is also set to be sold in the US, will represent “a significant part of growth in the next three to four years”, said Green.

A V40 replacement will also be spun off the CMA platform, which Volvo has co-de...

Aaron Bower Featured ColumnistFebruary 7, 2017 Credit: WWE.com Monday's edition of WWE Raw saw the first two matches officially announced on the card for Fastlane on March 5, but expect plenty more to follow over the coming weeks. With a number of weeks still to go until the show airs, WWE Creative has the chance to ensure the right matches are made to set up Fastlane as a well-rounded precursor for WrestleMania 33 later this year. And if the show is done right, there will be a lot of development in terms of the matches made for the 'Mania card following the events of Fastlane. Here's a look at the feuds on the Fastlane card that will help shape what could be one of the best WrestleMania shows in a good while.  Since WWE screwed Sheamus and Cesaro out of the Raw Tag Team Championships on Monday night, it doesn't quite feel like their rivalry with The Club is over just yet. Expect that to culminate at Fastlane, and in doing so, it will help shape the WrestleMania...

Over the past few years, a number of automakers have sought to create a mid-range offering that occupies a space between standard models and hardcore high performance counterparts – as evidenced by the BMW M Performance, Cadillac V-Sport, and Audi S lineups. These models seek to find a balance between civility, price and performance, delivering a driving experience that’s more performance-oriented than the garden-variety model, but not nearly as hard-edged as the full-bore performance variant. For Mercedes, that comes in the form of the Mercedes-AMG 43 lineup, which in turn results in the E43 for the E-Class sedan. It slots nicely between the E300 and the gorilla-in-a-suit that is the 603 horsepower E63, and while it might be a bit closer to the E300 than it is the E63 as a package overall, the combination does an excellent job of closing the rather sizable performance gap between those two. Although the stats sheet of the E43 certainly looks promising, numbers don’t...

6Facebook Inc cruised past Wall Street's earnings and revenue expectations on Wednesday with strong growth in its mobile ad business, demonstrating that controversy over so-called "fake news" and inaccurate advertising measurements had little impact on its financial performance. With quarterly profit of $3.57 billion, more than double the $1.56 billion it reported a year ago, the company showed no signs of slowdown in growth. The results handily beat analysts' expectations, and shares ticked up about 0.2 percent in after-hours trading. The company had warned in November that ad growth would likely slow "meaningfully" due to limits on ad load - the total number of ads Facebook can show to each user. But there was little sign of that in the fourth quarter as total revenue soared to $8.81 billion from $5.84 billion a year ago. "I think the rate of growth will decline, but it will remain very high," said analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities...
