Samsung confirms battery as cause of Note 7 fires

Samsung's probe into its Galaxy Note 7  has found that the overheating and burning of the phones was caused by faults with their batteries.
The firm had axed its iphone competitor
 in October last year after an earlier botched recall and re-release.
The recall is thought to have cost $5.3bn (£4.3bn) and was hugely damaging for the South Korean firm's reputation.
On Monday, Samsung said that neither software nor hardware were at fault, only the batteries.
Internal and independent investigations "concluded that batteries were found to be the cause of the Note 7 incidents", the South Korean technology giant said in a statement.

So what went wrong?

The company said that errors both in design and manufacturing affected batteries by two different manufacturers.


According to the findings, the problems centred on insufficient insulation material within the batteries and a design that did not give enough room to safely accommodate the batteries' electrodes.

Why the next black president could be a Republican

Two years before Donald Trump became president, he tweeted, “Sadly, because president Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations!” But six months into Trump’s tenure, there’s a growing buzz among Democrats that the next black president has already been identified: first-term Sen. Kamala Harris of California. “She’s running for president,” one fundraiser told the Hill. “Take it to the bank.” “The dominant trend in Democratic Party politics is fresh, new and interesting,” another fundraiser told Politico. “And Kamala is the trifecta on that.” I’m bullish on the idea that we’ll have another black president. But I wouldn’t bet that he or she will be a Democrat. That might seem like a wild assertion, particularly given the role that racial resentment played in Trump’s electoral victory. It’s no secret that the GOP continues to fail spectacularly at messaging to black voters. The party’s present approach to African Americans is bes...
