Apple due for New Products


Apple stocks have gone down 1.2% and is standing at ($465.43 per share). The reason behind the decline is that Apple is lacking innovation and ingenuity. Apple has been said to have their "heads stuck in the  sand". At a reason share-holders meeting, Apple wanted to ensure their stock holders that they are working hard on new products that have great new features. Updates, surface designs, and software adjustments are constantly being worked on states CEO, Tim Cook. Tim Cook also mentioned that there would be a new product category, but didn't expand on the notion much. Since the big hit to Apple, Cook is under pressure to return monies to  share holders in which it stands, $137(billion). Apple's largest competitor is Samsung. With Samsung's new product lines,as well as Google, Apple has started to feel the strain of one-uping. Apple has many products rumored to come out soon. One of those products possibly being the iWatch. Cook may not have wanted to expand on the secret because of other competitors. Some of these products may also 
move to Tv, wearable products, etc.

Steve Pearce on Drug Testing Proposal

A new law proposal has been presented to Obama by a Republic representative, Steve Pearce. Since people with jobs have to pass drug tests, people whom are government assisted (homeless, jobless) would have to pass these drug tests as well. Pearce expresses his anger toward the ongoing issue of unaccountability that the US Government has had towards the people that they offer the assistance programs to. Pearce has misstated that the government has completely avoided these issues. When in the meeting when the potential law was proposed, Pearce's spokesmen was asked if Pearce thought that the drug screening that was already stated in the legislature wasn't effective enough to him, the spokesmen didn't reply right away. It turns out that the drug test proposal that Pearce had was actually more broad than the legislature that was already in place.

The hacker wasn't interested in getting into user's profiles and messing with their accounts, they wanted their payment accounts and information. "However the company said the attack did not appear to be linked to Java, a commonly used computer programming language whose weaknesses have been used as springboards for other recent hacks."
