Another iPhone 7 Tipster Reveals A Significant Home Button Change

Posted on by

There has been speculation that Apple was going to completely revamp the home button feature in the iPhone 7. In October 2015, Piper Jaffray managing director and senior research analyst Gene Munster predicted that the home button on the iPhone 7 could be eliminated in favor of a digital button that would utilize 3D Touch. About 6 months later, supply chain sources told Storm Media that the iPhone 7 will have a touch-sensitive digital button rather than the traditional physical button separated from the display — which would make the front of the device completely flush. And this past week, sources with the Japan-based Apple news blog Mac Otakara agreed that the iPhone 7 will have touch-sensitive 3D Touch home button.

On The Marina Joyce Conspiracies And Bad Cybersleuthing

Posted on by

It was feared five days ago that 19-year-old beauty vlogger Marina Joyce was kidnapped by the terrorist group ISIS, and they were forcing her to make awkward videos on YouTube modeling dresses from Stylewe. No really, this was a popular enough fear that an associated hashtag trended worldwide and British police had to investigate and issue a statement (she’s fine). When imagining an e-detective that gets it so wrong and garners massive media attention, the mind typically conjures up a “Basement Dwelling Neckbeard” who frequents 4chan, reddit and Anonymous IRC channels. The Marina Joyce conspiracy theorists have effectively squashed that stereotype, proving even teen girls who love beauty vloggers can be raging keyboard investigators. We are all potential e-detectives now and the bad behavior the Internet Cool Kids used to cluck their tongues at is commonplace.
