Like every week, there is new news on the next iPhone. The newest updates say an announcement will be made on Tuesday Oct. 4 by Apple's new CEO Tim Cook.

As of this year, 2.095 BILLION people use the Internet, that's 30.2 percent of the world population!

In a move that isn't very shocking, Sprint is filing a lawsuit to block the AT&T/T-Mobile merger. Not only has Sprint filed the lawsuit, but the federal government has as well.

I somewhat agree with this but taking T-Mobile out of the picture still leaves Sprint and Verizon as strong competitors.
