Read full storyKiller Still Loose After Slithering Out of Prison
A convicted murderer is somehow still on the lam after busting out of a Pennsylvania prison last week. Danelo Cavalcante's brazen escape has baffled officials and terrorized local residents for over a week now. Cavalcante managed to slip through the cracks on August 31st by "crab-walking" between two walls and shimmying right out of the prison yard unnoticed. The tower guard on duty at the time has now been fired over the massive security lapse. But how Cavalcante pulled off this "Shawshank Redemption"-style escape remains a mystery. Authorities are dumbfounded that the killer has evaded capture for so long despite hundreds of officers swarming the area. "He'll make a mistake. He'll become more desperate," said Lt. Col. George Bivens, who's leading the exhaustive search. Cavalcante was doing time for brutally stabbing his ex-girlfriend to death in 2021. And he's wanted for another murder in Brazil. Understandably, local residents are on edge with this dangerous fugitive still on the loose. Some have even reported spotting him lurking on their properties. "It was an acute moment of terror when I saw him in my home," said Pocopson Township local Ryan Drummond. "My stomach dropped." How much longer can Cavalcante stay hidden? With his face splashed all over the news, it seems his time is running out. But so far, this cunning killer has made fools of the authorities pursuing him. The bizarre escape has gripped the nation. Will officials finally nab their man? Or could the search drag on if Cavalcante exploits more shocking loopholes? The twists and turns continue...
Read full storyiPhone 15 Charging Into USB-C Era
The Lightning cable's reign of terror is finally over. According to rampant rumors, Apple will ditch its proprietary charger and adopt USB-C for the upcoming iPhone 15 line. This marks a tectonic shift for Apple, closing the book on a decade of Lightning cables. But it could also spark a accessories Armageddon as billions of old chargers face obsolescence overnight. Apple is essentially being forced into this move by an EU mandate requiring small electronics to use USB-C by 2024. But it's still a shocking reversal after years of the company defending Lightning as superior. "This is the end of an era," said longtime Apple analyst Mark Sullivan. "Lightning has had a good run, but global standardization wins out in the end." The shift will streamline charging across devices and brands. But it deals a financial blow to Apple, nixing billions in lucrative licensing fees and sales of 1st-party Lightning accessories. For consumers, it means shelling out yet again for new cables. And with closets already crammed with obsolete Apple chargers, e-waste piles could rapidly climb. "It's progress through chaos," Sullivan said. "A necessary growing pain to advance universal standards." So ready those credit cards and brace for impact. The Apple charger revolution is nigh! Will thisSpec help or hurt consumers? As the Lightning era fades, share your thoughts on Apple's seismic shift.
Read full storyWild West No More: New Mexico Bans Public Carry of Firearms
In a controversial move, New Mexico's governor has suspended the right to carry guns in public across Albuquerque and surrounding areas. The 30-day emergency order comes in response to an eruption of deadly shootings plaguing the state. "We must take action to protect innocent lives from gun violence," said Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. "This temporary measure will help restore peace while upholding constitutional rights." The decree sparked an instant revolt among pro-gun activists who see it as an unconstitutional breach of Second Amendment freedoms. "This is an attack on law-abiding citizens' right to self-defense," argued local gun owner Alex Garcia. But victim advocacy groups praised the order as a bold step towards curbing violence. "Children here live in fear. This will start making New Mexico's streets safer," said Miranda Viscoli of New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence. Albuquerque has seen a particularly horrifying wave of shootings, including the recent road-rage slaying of an 11-year old boy outside a baseball game. Police data shows a 54% spike in homicides over 2021. With political tensions firing up, all eyes are on how this showdown between state power and individual rights will play out. But for now, the Wild West spirit of public carry has been tamed in Albuquerque.
