Apple faces damages bill after jury finds iPhone and iPad chip violates processor patent



Apple could face lose it on alo of money as they have used  technoloy which didnt belong to them and beloged to Univeristy of  wisconsin. They have had chips being in their iphone 6 and 6 plus and ipads. This means that they could be in alot of toruble and could end up giving out alot of money as the chips didnt belong to them. There will be trial on how mcuh apple owes them.

• The jury was considering whether Apple’s A7, A8 and A8X processors, found in the iPhone 5s, 6 and 6 Plus, as well as versions of the iPad, violated the patent
• Apple Inc could face up to $862m in damages
• He scheduled the trial to proceed in three phases: liability, damages, and finally, whether Apple infringed the patent willfully, which could lead to enhanced penalties.

I think that Apple was wrong to use technology taht didnt belong to them even if they made more moeny by it. They shouldnt be allowed to get away with it as its soemthing that needs to be dealt with. As Apple didnt have it in all of their products then it may benefit them as the charges of momney may go down a bit. Apple may lose some customers after this but thats because they did wrong.

USA Today's Facebook-inspired use of emojis gets thumbs down




Facebook had put cartoon symbols as they needed to show whether they though stories were happy or sad. This got criticsed in many ways. They had decided to put cartoon emojis on each page of a USA newspaper to see whether they thought the stories were happy or sad. The audeience didnt like this process very much as they didnt understand the purpose and didnt find it intresting. For example, the stories which had things to do ith death had a sad face or angry face-and some of these topics are sensitive to some people. That why it sparked man problems.

• An article about Russian bombing of Syria was illustrated with an angry red face, while a story about the stabbing of a US citizen – who had recently helped stop a terrorist attack in France – carried a sad face with a tear emerging from one eye.
• He said: “I doubt they will become a core part of print articles, but we wanted to see what it would look like ... I think we’ll see more experimenting with digital practices in print, even if they don’t become mainstream.”
• The stunt received a mixed reaction on Twitter, with some pointing out that it jarred with the serious nature of the stories being covered and others questioning whether emojis had a place in print.

I think that Facebook shouldnt have intorduced this new thing to print media as its soemthing that needs to stay on digital media and not print. These emojis seem weird to have on print and by having them makes people a bit confused. Also, they shouldnt have it emojis down where they thought was relelvent some stories will be sad or happy but because its their opinion it could be done wrong. Everyone has different opinions and by them doing this makes it worse in a way.
