Apple’s POS Discriminates Against The Visually Impaired, According To Lawsuit

Apples POS Discriminates Against The Visually Impaired, According To LawsuitIf you have ever shopped at an Apple retail store, you might have noticed that all the staff there are equipped with iPods, iPads, and so on. Not only are the iOS devices used to bring up customer information, but they are also used to make payments.

    US Government Sues Sprint For Overcharging For Wire Taps

Touted as a free-to-play title most of the time, this business model is not an idea that the European Commission is comfortable with, where they have received their fair share of complaints from consumers “all over Europe.”
