RUSSIA: Read how a Russian politician's 'man of the people' stunt was undermined by his luxury swiss watch

A Russian politician's attempt to look humble has been ridiculed after he was seen wearing a luxury swiss watch. Russian politician Vitaly Milonov, bought a new £6,000 Lada Vesta, a modest Russian family car, and invited a television crew to join him as he made the purchase.

However, his modesty and patriotism stunt wasn’t the main talking point to arise from the photo, as Twitter users focused on his wristwatch, a Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine which retails for £6,800.

He paid for half the car at the dealership with the other half to be paid over three years in installment.

APPLE iPHONE 6s: Get Yours While You can

Apple is expected to cut its iPhone 6S and 6S Plus production by 30 percent in the January to March quarter, Japan's Nikkei reported Tuesday.

P. Post

The report said the cut is due to the excess level of inventories of the latest iPhone models, which in part was due to the higher exchange rate that made iPhones more expensive in emerging countries.

It added the iPhone production level is expected to get back to normal levels in the April to June quarter, citing foreign suppliers.

Nikkei's report is the latest in a series of gloomy projections that predicted a drop in iPhone sales in the coming months. Last month, a number of Wall Street analysts forecast that iPhone sales will drop for the first time ever, citing a decline in sales by some of the major iPhone component makers.

Gene Munster of PiperJaffray wrote in a note Tuesday that investor concerns of an iPhone sales drop is growing, with some thinking sales for the March quarter could be as low as 50 million units, way below the 58.5 million estimate.

President Obama On Drake's Jumpman... Cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His favorite song of 2015 may have been Kendrick Lamar’s “How Much A Dollar Cost?,” but President Obama sure seems to like rapping along to Drake.

P. Post

Or, at least, the Internet sure seems to enjoy splicing together his words from speeches and setting them to Drake songs. Last month, the President gave us a little “Hotline Bling,” and now he’s at it again with Aubrey and Future’s “Jumpman.”

The video was actually made by the Detroit Pistons, who want to use it to get fans to vote for their starting center, Andre Drummond, for the All-Star Game. And they actually switched “Jumpman” with “Drummond” because why not?

USA & GUNS: Gun Stocks Surge In USA After President Obama...

Shortly before noon on Tuesday, Mark Barden stepped to a lectern in the East Room of the White House to introduce President Obama, who would go on to announce a series of executive orders aimed at curbing gun violence in the U.S.

P. Post

Barden wasn’t just any warm-up act: he was the father of a boy named Daniel, an auburn-haired first grader with a gap-toothed smile who was killed in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012. ”In the three years since those 26 precious lives were lost at that school, far too many more lives have been lost to gun tragedies in this country,” he said. “As a nation, we have to do better.”
