iPhone 6: Yay or Nay?

Getting sick of the same old iPhone features that freeze, or half the time you don't have enough room to even download updates?

Apple recently unveiled the iPhone 6 and the technology world is buzzing with speculation of whether the newest model is a must-have or not.

The new iPhone 6 has a few key features that Apple fans are excited about. 

1. Bigger and Better Screen. Screen size matters to iPhone users. Ever since the development of the original few iPhone models, customers have always requested a larger screen. Apple listened to their customers and took their feedback into consideration when crafting the iPhone 6. The new iPhone features a 4.7 inch screen. The iPhone 6 Plus features a 5.5 inch screen. The screen also has a refreshed Retina display allowing for improved quality. 

2. Improved Look and Feel. The bigger body of the iPhone 6 also has curved glass edges for comfortable holding. The phone, of course, is super slim at 0.27-inch. Color is always an important aspect for the iPhone. We've seen gold, black, white, rose gold, silver, and then of course, the series of colors that were birthed through the iPhone 5c. The iPhone 6 comes in gold, silver, and space gray. The power button has also moved to the right side of the phone, for easier use. 

3. Camera. The new features of the camera help to take even better videos and photographs. Apple says that focus time is down. This means that you can take great quality pictures quicker than ever before. Also, colors are supposed to look more lifelike when flash is engaged on the iPhone 6. The HDR option is now automatically applied for all photos taken on the camera. 

4. Internals. The iPhone 6 has an A8 processor that allows for 50 percent faster graphics and 25 percent faster CPU. These features should make the phone more power efficient. Power efficiency is something important to iPhone users because in the past battery life has tended to be an issue. With support added in the WiFi standard means that the iPhone 6 will have WiFi speeds three times faster than in the iPhone 5S. 

The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus will be available in eight countries on September 19. However, pre-orders begin September 12 in the U.S. for those of you dying to get your paws on the bigger and better iPhone 6. The new iPhone starts at $199.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
