Samsung has announced a new app called Linux on Galaxy that works with its DeX docking station to bring a full Linux desktop experience to Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphone users.
Comments from IDC sounded skeptical saying the concept is "interesting at best", but "the No. 1 challenge is that there is no public infrastructure for where you can dock your phone, other than in your home or office... Where you really would like to have that is at a hotel, at an airport, etc."
Samsung is touting their DeX environment as "supremely better than all the earlier attempts to have a smartphone docking into a big screen".

Nixon: Some people tied to his campaign break into the DNC, and then he covers it up. He is not impeached.
Bill: Takes money from China. Gives ICBM guidance tech to China. Lies under oath, and is actually impeached.
Obama and Hillary together: They try to wiretap Trump tower, get turned down. They pay $9 million for a fake "dossier", which they then use to get a warrant for the wiretap, succeeding with the falsified evidence. They then electronically spy on their political opponent.
Bill and Hillary together: Take money from Russia. Let 20% of our uranium go to Russia.
By those standards, especially if you add in the recent JFK-related suspicions about two other past presidents, Nixon is looking mighty nice. Carter, Reagan, and Trump are the only ones who might be more respectable than Nixon.

Heh. Another History alliterate.
Trump violates The Emoluments Clause of the Constitution multiple times daily.
It will be interesting to see just who pulled what strings in the Whitefish Energy/Puerto Rico thing.
Reagan sold weapons to Iran without congressional approval and sent the money to Nicaragua where it was used by The Contras to continue their program of burning villages, rape, torture, "disappearing" people, and mass murder.
I would have liked to have seen Carter completely abandon regime change efforts in South America, but I will give him partial credit for throttling back on that.

Um, gweg_, do you mean illiterate, as in not literate, or unable to read? Alliteration is fine for the lower sorts of English doggerel, but I do not think "alliterate" means what you think it means.

I meant aliterate.
It's clear that he is -able- to read.
It's his Trump-like aversion to the process that I am noting.

Running a normal business does not violate the emoluments clause. Numerous presidents have done it, going all the way back to George Washington.
The deal with Whitefish energy looks absurd at first glance, but the cringeworthy explanation makes perfect sense: every other company took one look at Puerto Rico's credit rating and then demanded a huge down payment. Whitefish was willing to do a pay-as-you-go job. Obviously there was no way that a huge down payment would happen. Whitefish got together 400 people and started work, so it all looks 100% legit.
It does sort of look corrupt to kill the Whitefish deal. The big companies won't stand for a little company coming in and taking their business. The big companies can lobby to kill Whitefish's contract. We can however explain this one too: the unconventional choice was turning into a public relations embarrassment.
