New York, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – In the aftermath of nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities appearing on social media, technology giants Apple, Google, Facebook and other companies all vowed to institute more security measures to prevent similar occurences in the future.

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter is not happy. She says that limiting what people can download or hack from iCloud and other file servers is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. “As a journalist, I categorically oppose any attempt to curtail my freedom of speech, expression and public display of beauty,” Coulter said.

Coulter admitted to The Adobo Chronicles that she had personally and willingly uploaded her own nude photos to her iCloud account in the hopes that someone would hack it and post the photos on social media. That has not happened so far. She is very disappointed but remains hopeful that someone will eventually discover her nude photos.

Calls to Apple, Google abd Facebook for comment were not returned.

Leave a comment

imageCupertino, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Apple has been working with Visa, Mastercard and American Express for the latest iteration of its iPhone scheduled to be released September 9.

Contrary to speculation, Apple will not be announcing the iPhone 6. Rather, it will be releasing the iPhone Wallet, capable of making payments at retail stores that accept credit or debit cards.

The new iPhone will come in black or brown pure leather but will not have a screen. The keypad is imbedded in the wallet, as are the microphone and speaker. Calls and payments can be made using the keypad. The keypad is automatically connected to cash registers via bluetooth.

While the iPhone Wallet will not have the capability of taking pictures, sending emails or browsing the Internet, it has a special compartment that can hold the user’s old iPhone.

The good news is that the new iPhone will retail for only $99 , with no two-year contract required.

MILLION MARCH PLANNED TO PROTEST PROPOSED PHILIPPINE LAW BANNING SELFIES

1 Comment

imageMakati City, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – A proposed bill banning the taking of selfies in public passed on first reading in the Philippine House of Representatives, and the residents of Makati City, recenty named the selfie capital of the world, are not happy.

The proposed law is meant to discourage paparazzis and others from taking their own photos in parks and other public venues because it could possibly invade the privacy of others. The bill also aims to stop the spread of selfitis, the mental disorder associated with selfies, as declared just a few months ago by the American Psychiatric Association.

Makati Mayor Junjun Binay, son of Vice President Jejomar Binay, annouced that the local government is organizing a million people’s march to protest the proposed law. “I call upon one milllion Makati residents to unite and take to the streets on September 1st to show our national lawmakers how we feel about this infringement of our freedom,” the young Binay said, not realizing that his city only has a population of 500,000.

Binay encouraged every participant to bring their smart phones so that “at the appointed time during the march, we will all simultaneously take selfie photos. We are aiming at the Guinness World Record for the most number of selfies taken in a single venue.”

Another feather in the cap for Makati City?
