Attention iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus users! Have you ever received a call from someone and when you went to answer the phone you just couldn’t swipe to answer? I don’t mean yours hands weren’t free, I mean when you keep swiping but your phone just was not answering the call. Or have you ever had an alarm on your phone go off but you couldn’t turn it off? Well you are not alone. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus have started experiencing a mechanical failure which has appropriately been named “Touch Disease”. It is typically first noticed as a gray bar showing up at the top of the screen. “Touch Disease” is when, overtime, the touch screen functionality begins to fail. It starts off very sporadically. This has caused users to think that it was just a small glitch. Ignoring the issue and continuing to use the phone users find that eventually it starts to occur more and more often. The end result is complete touch screen functionality failure, thus leaving iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users with a useless device.

Most people would then think that the simple fix to this would be taking it into an Apple Store and having the screen fixed. Well, apparently not. Apple is currently facing a several lawsuits. The two more commonly known lawsuits are from Utah and California. Three users from Utah have started a class action lawsuit against Apple. They took the phones in and explained the issue. They were told by Apple that they were not going to fix them and that they were all going to have to purchase new phones. SImilar results have been seen in California as well as other states.

McCuneWright, LLP, a litigation firm, actually has a way for you to join the class action lawsuit that they have against Apple. They will keep people involved updated. Click the following link to join the lawsuit against Apple. By giving your information you will also be updated as more information become available. http://mccunewright.com/iphone-6-touchscreen-defec...


It is recommended anyone who faces this problem report it to Apple so that they have record of yet another phone experiencing “Touch Disease”.

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.

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.
