Little men with big erasers1 are saying that iPhone 6 design resembles anything but the original iPhone.
“Shameless” is not just the title of some TV Shows in the UK and the US; it is also the word many people use to describe Samsung’s Galaxy S6 phones (via Daring Fireball). Some also described it as “the lovechild of an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 6” (via The Verge).
Then there’s the “<insert name here> Pay”, just like Apple Pay (stylized as Pay).
Truly shameless.

From EFF.org:
Today the FCC voted three to two to reclassify broadband Internet access as a common carrier service under Title II of the Communications Act, and forbear from the parts of the Act that aren’t necessary for net neutrality rules. This reclassification gives the FCC the authority to enact (and enforce) narrow, clear rules which will help keep the Internet the open platform it is today.
Three out of five FCC Commissioners voted for “Net Neutrality”. Historic moment, but there are still a long way to go.
Apple has sent invitations to March 9, 2015 Special Event aptly titled “Spring Forward” at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. The event will be streamed live at 10:00 a.m., Monday, March 9, 2015.

Apple has just announced MacBook Pro Repair Extension Program for Video Issues on Thursday, February 19, 2015.
Apple has determined that a small percentage of MacBook Pro systems may exhibit distorted video, no video, or unexpected system restarts. These MacBook Pro systems were sold between February 2011 and December 2013.
Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will repair affected MacBook Pro systems, free of charge. See below for details on affected models and service options.
As of February 20, 2015, the repair process will be available in the U.S. and Canada. In other countries, it will be available as of February 27, 2015.
I have encountered numerous 2011 MacBook Pro with the video issues. Two of them were repaired out-of-warranty in the past 3 months. I spoke to an AppleCare representative and was informed that Apple will reimburse the repair costs.
Affected Models
My personal MacBook Pros are 2010 and 2014 models which do not have the video issues.
My kind of games, no In-App-Purchases.
I just purchased XCOM: Enemy Within which does not offer any In-App-Purchases at all.
