Uber Sued

The popular company, Uber, which uses an app to connect those who have a car and need money, and those who have money but need a ride, was sued for tricking its users. The claim was that Uber lied to its users by promising a certain amount of income they would receive by driving for them and how much financing a car would cost, both of which proved false. The FTC claimed that Uber published that their drivers in eight major U.S. cities were earning far more than they actually were. Uber technologies settled the allegations with twenty million dollars.

Apple's IPhone Turns 10, where does it go from there?

Ten years ago today the IPhone was created and Marketed by Steve Jobs. It has become such a success, that there is currently over 2 million app and 74.5 million people own one. This product has revolutionized the way that we communicate and connect with eachother.

Today, IPhones are used for almost everything. They are used for everything from paying someone's bills, to figuring out where you want to have dinner that night. Because of the smart technology, it is able to do things that past iPhones have not been able to do before. With the new touch screens, those were very new as well and helped the sale of this product in my opinion.
