Republican president-elect Donald Trump has said he will not accept a salary for being president.

Questions have swirled concerning what'll happen to Trump's income in the wake of his winning the 2016 US presidential election, CBS News reported on Friday.

Trump said at a September 17, 2015, event in Rochester, New Hampshire: 'The first thing I'm going to do is tell you that if I'm elected president, I'm accepting no salary, okay? That's not a big deal for me.'


Someone on Twitter asked Trump in a Q & A session, a video of which was posted on Trump's Twitter account on September 21, 2015: '@realDonaldTrump, will you forgo the presidential salary if elected?'

Trump answered: 'As far as the salary is concerned — I won't take even one dollar. I am totally giving up my salary if I become president.

In the same video, Trump said he was 'totally self-funding' his campaign and said that he 'won't take money other than the small stuff'.


As of Friday, Forbes estimates that Trump's net worth is $3.7billion.

Herbert Hoover, who made millions of dollars in mining before becoming president in 1929, and John F. Kennedy, who came from a wealthy family and became president in 1961, both donated their presidential salaries to charity.

The US Code says on its website: 'The President shall receive in full for his services during the term for which he shall have been elected compensation in the aggregate amount of $400,000 a year, to be paid monthly, and in addition an expense allowance of $50,000 to assist in defraying expenses relating to or resulting from the discharge of his official duties.'

its real, i just signed up made my donation and waiting for confirmation

Apple had the courage to kill off the headphone jack on the iPhone 7. They also had the courage to force you to buy an adapter if you want to hook one up to a new MacBook Pro.

Connecting your iPhone 7 to your MacBook Pro will cost you $19. iPhone 7 that was just launched last month doesn't plug into MacBook Pro it was just revealed this month. An adapter is what you need in order to connect your iPhone 7 to your MacBook Pro through USB. Not a big deal you can get this adapter for as low as 19 USD.

the adapter is required now because the brand new macbook pro has shed several of the ports the antique model had. There’s no magsafe, no hdmi, and no usb kind of ports. They’ve all been ditched in want of usb-c and thunderbolt.so… they ditched the headphone jack and throw inside the lightning to headphone adapter with each iphone 7, but they’re charging you another $19 for a a usb type-c to usb a adapter for a laptop you paid not less than $1,499 for? once more, it’s probable all down to being brave.it’s no longer honestly that hard to see what the common sense is right here. lots of people don’t even plug their phone into their computer any more, thanks to quicker in-domestic wifi and the upward thrust of cloud services.

Russia is flexing its military muscle as tensions with the US simmer in the wake of a heated third presidential debate, where Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton called Republican candidate Donald Trump a “puppet” for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Now, Russia has declassified the first image of its new thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile.
The RS-28 Sarmat missile—better known as the Satan 2 nuclear missile—has finally been revealed after years of being hyped by the Russian government. According to a Russian publication aligned with the Kremlin called Sputnik, the super-nuke has a payload capable of destroying an area “the size of Texas.”
The new weapon can deploy warheads of 40 megatons, or about 2,000 times as powerful as the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagaski in 1945.
Former assistant secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy Dr. Paul Craig Roberts called the atomic bombs that Washington dropped on Japan “popguns” compared to today’s thermo-nuclear weapons. “One Russian SS-18 wipes out three-fourths of New York state for thousands of years,” he said in a blog post. “Five or six of these ‘Satans’ as they are known by the US military, and the East Coast of the United States disappears.”
To make it even more frightening, the Satan 2 is also capable of evading radar defenses and could travel far enough to strike the US East and West Coast.

iPhone 7 joins Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in exploding.
Samsung Note 7 which have been on the news for exploding is not alone in the mess as the world leading smartphone producers "Apple" have joined in building exploding device.

Samsung company was sued repeatedly by Apple for stealing its technology and designs. It was learnt that Samsung created a 132-page internal document to help its engineers copy the iPhone pixel by pixel.

But now, things have gone the wrong way...

The latest report is that Apple was jealous that Samsung's exploding Galaxy Note 7 is stealing most of iPhone's features, so it built an exploding smartphone of its own.

The image above was posted by Reddit user "kroopthesnoop" on Wednesday, and it shows a black iPhone 7 that looks like it exploded. According to the phone's owner, the iPhone exploded while in transit.

"Something happened between the factory and delivery" is all the phone's owner had to say in his thread on Reddit. Apple hasn't commented publicly and neither has UPS.

Below are photos that the phone owner posted.

Its good news as iPhone 7 users can now have access to the hidden head-jack in the iPhone 7 device with the help of a "Fuze" case.

Diego Prince, a hardware developer from Austin, Texas, in a video reveals that the the company will be launching a fuze case which would be made for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

According to Prince, "What people put into their own ear holes is a very personal choice, and it's a choice we should all get the chance to make not one that should be made for us".

Fuze is a special innovative case for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus that restores the phone's 3.5mm audio jack. It delivers a doubled battery life as well as scratch and shock protection, while maintaining the iPhone's compact profile.

If the campaign goes well, the Fuze case will be shipped by December and the price goes for $49 per case plus shipping.

The battery pack is estimated to last for about eight hours of power, according to Prince.

With Fuze you will be able to listen to music with your favorite headphones whenever you want.

When you purchase Fuze, you're purchasing the freedom of choice, something that should be free.

But the brand will still be attached to handsets.



In BlackBerry's latest quarterly financials released today, the company revealed it's getting out of the hardware business once and for all, choosing instead to "outsource that function to partners." It's not a huge shock given BlackBerry CEO John Chen has foreshadowed the cut and run several times. Earlier this year, he warned that if hardware wasn't making a profit by September it would be time to call it quits, and he's kept his word after the Mobility Solutions division posted an $8 million loss for this past quarter. This doesn't mean we've seen the last of BlackBerry handsets, though; they just won't be produced in-house anymore.

This was the case for BlackBerry's last launch anyway, as the all-touch DTEK50 was more or less a repurposed Alcatel device manufactured by TCL. Furthermore, the company announced in today's financials that it's already licensed its name to an Indonesian firm that'll build and sell BlackBerry-branded devices in the region.

While BlackBerry still makes the best keyboards in the business, some of its last highly security-conscious enterprise customers are starting to move on -- not to mention that the security of consumer devices has been called into question. In the past few months, BlackBerry has lost several high-profile patrons, including the US Senate and President Obama.

BlackBerry's core business remains software, but gone are the days when secure, enterprise email solutions were all the company had to talk about. Much of its famed productivity software is now available on Android, BBM is still very much a thing, and the QNX platform is being expanded to power self-driving cars. BlackBerry has also started shipping Radar, a hardware and software combo that offers shipping companies and the like real-time tracking. And while BB10 OS may be all but retired, a renewed focus on software appears to be paying off.

"We are reaching an inflection point with our strategy. Our financial foundation is strong, and our pivot to software is taking hold," said Chen. "In Q2, we more than doubled our software revenue year over year and delivered the highest gross margin in the company's history." Cut through the corporate speak and the general takeaway is: BlackBerry is doing alright, hardware is expendable.
