iPhone Technology Patent: Why It Makes Me Feel Some Type Of Way
www.techcrunch.com

To all my iPhone enthusiasts and concerts lovers: there is something important that ya'll should know. It's MAJOR tea spilling.

So this Tuesday, the company Apple was granted a patent (Wikipedia defines this as, "a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention"). This patent will allow your precious iPhone to disable recording/photo taking functions mainly for concert venues. So possibly no more of dealing with this.

Which seems to be like life saver right?! While the sole purpose would be for concerts, I have a strange feeling that the government, SPECIFICALLY the police department will try to take advantage of this situation.

If Apple uses this patent, then people and companies would be able to use this in public spaces. Video recording/Snapchatting at concerts gets on my nerves but it is something that I live with because we all do it. Some are just way more excessive at it than others. The whole idea of an company having rights to a person's personal device doesn't sit well with me at all.

But BACK to my reason of how the police will try to work this in their favor (*major side eye*).

With police brutality being at an all time high, recording and taking pictures with our phones is what is helping the real truth come to surface despise what the police and the media tries to tell us. Many police departments in the U.S. are not trying to limit the use of recording/taking pictures in public. I wonder why?! Probably because this generation is not taking their mess anymore. Certain states are trying to limit this by giving regulations on how far you have to be from the police. I understand how a bystander shouldn't so close, due to safety personally, but don't try to shut up the people.


Clips and videos like these that show the world what some people see, would never surface if the police had a choice. This makes it more difficult for them to sweep their wrongfully choices under the rug and makes it easier for them to create a story to tell us to make us shut up. So I'm completely against this new iPhone patent, even if the only purpose is due to recording at concerts. If they use it towards concerts, they will wiggle their way to put limitations on iPhones for recording/taking pictures in public period, which I'm not having it. So if Apple decides to roll with this, I'll happily roll my behind over to Samsung.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
