The Pirate Party in Iceland is back at the top of the polls as the largest political party in Iceland.
A new poll conducted by the Social Science Research Institute of the University of Iceland shows that the Pirate Party has a following of 29.9 % going up by 1.6 % since the last poll. The second largest party in Iceland is the Independence Party with 22.7 % which means that it has gone down by 5.5 percent since May.
The party which runs on a platform of direct democracy, freedom of information and civil and political rights has been topping opinion polls for over a year, but went down recently to second place to the centre-right Independence Party.
The next elections in Iceland will take place this autumn following political uproar over the connections of PM Sigmundur Dav Gunnlaugsson to the Panama Papers. Gunnlaugsson stepped down and has been replaced by a new Prime Minister, Sigurur Ingi Jhannsson.

Mujer del autor de la matanza de Orlando puede ser encausada por callar sus intenciones
Orlando. Einem Medienbericht zufolge wollte die Frau des Todesschtzen von Orlando ihren Mann angeblich von seiner Tat abhalten.
Das habe sie dem FBI gesagt, berichtete der Sender NBC am Dienstag ohne nhere Angaben von Quellen. Sie sei bei ihm gewesen, als Omar Mateen Munition und ein Holster gekauft habe. Weiterhin habe die Frau angegeben, ihren Mann einmal zu dem Club gefahren zu haben, der am Sonntag Ziel des Terroranschlags wurde, bei dem Mateen mindestens 49 Menschen erschoss. Ihr Mann habe das "Pulse" auskundschaften wollen, habe sie gesagt.
NBC berichtete unter Berufung auf Justizkreise, Noor Mateen msse mit einer Anklage rechnen, weil sie die Behrden nicht informiert habe.
Mateen war zwei Mal verheiratet. Mit seiner Frau Noor hatte er einen dreijhrigen Sohn.
Nick Jonas delivered an emotional speech at New York Citys historic Stonewall Inn, where thousands gathered for a vigil to mourn the 49 victims of the horrific mass shooting in Orlando. Find out how Nicks upbringing and childhood theater experience helped him develop an open mind and open heart for those in the LGBT community from an early age.
Yesterday"s WWDC presentation started with Apple CEO Tim Cook asking for a moment of silence to honor the men and women killed in Sunday"s attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The keynote ended with Cook"s presentation of Swift Playgrounds, a way for Apple to encourage children to learn how to code. In between, Cook had exactly zero moments on the stage. This was definitely a case of "less is more." Cook ceded the stage to his team, and allowed them to present the most ambitious definition yet of the "Apple experience"one that is defined not simply by incredible devices, but by a seamless, increasingly omnipresent and intelligent platform experience accessed via those devices.
Cooks gravitas and flat delivery serve him well when speaking on matters of moral import. Neither the Orlando tribute nor the Swift Playgrounds presentation came off as mere PR efforts. This seems to have been the keynote where Apple finally gave up on the idea that its CEO must be the center of the presentation. This is surely a relief to Cook, who never wanted to be as much of a showman as his predecessor, Steve Jobs. Instead of having to anchor everything, Cook bookended a set of surprising presentations by a surprisingly diverse array of executives. There were, of course, the traditional "white techie guys in Silicon Valley garb," all interchangeable on stage except for Craig Federighi, SVP of software engineering, who has real stage presence. But there was also some racial diversity, there was some female representation, and evengasp!an African-American woman, Bozoma Saint John, who was a big, bright moment of energy on the stage.
None of this would be noteworthy, of course, outside of Silicon Valley. But coming from Apple, it was noteworthy indeed. Cook doesnt sweat the details of a keynote the way Jobs didno one did, or shouldbut he is ensuring that Apple projects the diversity he has championed over the years.
Perhaps more notably, the keynote made clear that Cook is determined to fix whatever Apple products seem less than stellar, including the Watch, Apple Music, the App Store, and many services dependent on wireless connectivity. Thats a continuation of the companys longtime focus on spending time and money to continually improve existing products. But the keynote was even more notable because it made clear that Apples business concerns and goals are differentand more ambitious and complicatedthan the ones Cook inherited from Jobs. Once upon a time, Jobs defined the "Apple experience" as the merging of hardware and software in a single device in a way that no other company could match. Over time, that definition grew to encompass an iPad, a Mac, and an iPhone, and all that a user could accomplish because these were wirelessly connected. Cook is expanding that universe significantly.
While some commentators believe that the company is still focused on individual devices, the keynote was full of improvements devoted to two concepts: continuity and artificial intelligence. The continuity part made clear that Apple wants you to be able to do whatever you need on whichever of its devices you are using. Start a document on a Mac, you can wrap it up on your iPhone. Start editing a slide show on your iPad, finish it up on a Mac or an iPhone. Track your physical activity on a Watch, check it out later on your iPad.
The artificial intelligence side is evident in many smaller features. Siri can control your TV and your Mac now, and answer more complicated questions than before. Apples software can anticipate your needs betterin one example from yesterdays presentation, an iPhone didnt just alert its owner to an upcoming meeting; it also asked if she wanted to order an Uber. Apples Photos app can now arrange your photos in sensible collections, like "That April Party" or "Beach shots."
Almost all of this can be done with software from other companies. But Google and Amazon can"t yet combine continuity, AI, and multiple first-rate devices seamlessly. Only Apple has shown the ability to do this kind of thing in a way that makes this all relatively effortless for consumers. It will take lots of work to ensure that this effortlessness continues, and Apple will have to improve those "less than stellar" offerings. But if Apple can pull this off, Cook is taking Apple somewhere thats far more complicated and all-encompassing than the device-centric "Apple experience" that Steve Jobs was able to engineer. Cooks goal, it seems, is for Apple to create the technology that will serve your needs all day long and everywhere you gothe devices are simply the (excellently designed) doorway to that world. At home, with Siri on your TV and with developers creating apps that control your Home network. At work, with an integration of software, services, and devices that allow you great flexibility. And even in between, perhaps, on your commuteall the rumored R&D investment in car technology seems designed to service that portion of your day, too.
This idea that a single company could be your primary, and perhaps only, technological steward is an old one. Microsoft had it long ago, approaching it with its onetime ownership of the business computing world, and Amazon, Google, Facebook, and others aspire to it, as well. But with over a billion devices in use around the world, and a strong history of making easy-to-use technology that improves the lives of its customers, Apple is as natural a candidate for this stewardship as anyone.
Its true that, for now, that vision is built up from four operating systems for four device formats (Watch, iPhone (and iPad), AppleTV, and Macs.) But Mondays keynote made clear that the ambition of the vision is hardly limited to just those devices, that Apple is committed to blurring the lines between those devices with increased connectivity, and that the company is intent on making Siri an interface that can manage any number of environments, including a car. Apple fully intends to compete strongly in the race toward a technologic future thats enabled and informed by artificial intelligence. Like its competitors, it wants to be the operating system for your life.
This, then, is Tim Cooks Apple; publicly moral, consumer-focused, and all-encompassing. If Cook is successful, he may even one day shake off the shadow of Steve Jobs.
