iPhone 4 Recall
Apple stock has recently been declining and the problems with the iPhone 4 is one of the major reasons for this. The author of this article says that Apple will refuse to actually recall the iPhone 4 since it would cost them about $1.5 billion, but he also explains a different way Apple could compensate for their mistakes. If Apple gave out a free case with every iPhone 4 they sold, they could potentially save their company's money and the sale rate for the iPhone 4. Since the antennae is in the silver lining around the phone, it must be covered with a case in order to hold and use it. Therefore, it would seem that the only way a customer could use their iPhone is if they bought the $30 case to protect it.  Not only is the phone made of glass and easily breakable, but it has this sensitive antennae around the outside edge of the phone. It seems fair that Apple would provide a free case with the phone in order to save their sales rates. After the Macbook Adobe virus catastrophe, customers have been more reticent to rely on Apple and now that the new iPhone 4 has been problematic, Apple will have to make a dramatic change within the sales of their products.  I wouldn't think Apple would want to lose their prestigious position as one of the top electronic and computer companies in the world.  

Could Tumblr Rise Above Facebook and Twitter?

Although Tumblr was created after Facebook and Twitter, it is actually on a steady incline towards surpassing Facebook's and Twitter's amount of viewers. Tumblr is definitely increasing in its popularity and it is easy to see why.  This new form of social media creates a happy medium between blogging and tweeting, so you can maintain your own blog while sharing it with other users on the Dashboard page. I find that I have actually begun to use Tumblr more often than Facebook and Twitter. The chart seen in this article proves how quickly Tumblr has become a favorite of social media users.  Users mostly post images and videos and many of them are so relatable that you end up laughing out loud when reading them.  Tumblr is similar to instagram, an app of iPhones where you can post pictures you have taken and share it with your followers.  The difference with Tumblr is that you can share and reblog images that other users (whom you don't know personally) have created and enhanced.  Tumblr is all about individuality and creativity while maintaing a social connection.

New Mac Trojan Horse Virus
One of the most notable benefits of an Apple computer is its ability to avoid the millions of viruses that Microsoft computers fall prey to. Many college students and professionals pick Macs for just this reason. Now, a new trojan horse virus has recently been discovered by Apple that masquerades as an Adobe Flash Player update. One word of advice is to never confirm an update from a popup window, but to always go to the website and download it there. I have a macbook pro, and have already been bombarded by this popup asking me to update to the newest version of flash player. Believe me when I tell you, it looks exactly like Adobe Flash Player. Do not be fooled! This is the sneaky exterior of a Trojan Horse virus. The virus has already infected 600,000 MacBooks worldwide and many fear that the worst is yet to come. In fact mac security may be forever changing, due to the progressiveness of virus creators.  They are slowly moving on from attacking Microsoft computers and beginning to learn how to target Apple computers. It will be interesting to see how Apple computer sales are affected by this change, unless the company is able to step it up and fight this breach in security head on.
