CUPERTINO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – When Apple’s iPhone 6 and 6 Plus first hit the market last year, there were complaints that the new smartphone was easily bent because of its thin, aluminum casing. Instead of going back to the drawing board, Apple applied for and received a patent on the defective phone.

Now, Apple is suing smartphone manufacture LG for the latter’s latest product, the LG G Flex 2,  accusing LG of infringement of intellectual property.

Contoured to fit the curve of your hand and angle of your face, the LG G Flex 2 is sleek, stylish and comfortable to use. With a flexible body that seamlessly moves from curved to straight and back again, the G Flex2 features a 5.5-inch full HD P-OLED screen, a 64-bit octa-core processor, 13-megapixel camera with laser auto focus, and a 3,000 mAH battery for fast charging and long-lasting performance. Plus, with its self-healing coating, the curved phone can recover beautifully from minor scratches – so it always looks like new.

“LG basically copied the bending mechanism of our iPhone 6 and 6 Plus,” a spokesperson for Apple said.

Apple is suing for an undisclosed amount.

JOHN BOEHNER STEPS DOWN AS HOUSE SPEAKER, HANDS GAVEL TO NANCY PELOSI

Leave a comment

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – It is the end of the Republican Party as we know it.

Citing the fact that he has lost all credibility and support even from his fellow Republicans, John Boehner made the shocking announcement today that he was stepping down as speaker of the House of Representatives.

The final straw came when Boehner invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before a joint session of Congress, bypassing the Office of the President. He came under intense criticism not just from Democrats but his fellow Republicans, especially those who are familiar with the U.S. Constitution’s provision for the separation of powers among the three branches of government.

What was more shocking in today’s announcement was that Boehner said he had tried to convince other House Republican leaders to step up to assume the position of speaker, but none of them wanted to do so (especially after that embarrassing letter signed by 47 Senate Republicans to Iran, undermining the Obama administrations’s nuclear negotiations with that country.)

So, in an unprecedented move never before seen, or imagined, in U.S. history, Boehner turned over the gavel to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The historic photograph of the turnover says it all (see photo).

Was it a kiss of unity and reconciliation, or a Judas kiss?

The eyes of the entire nation, and entire world, are on the U.S. Congress.

BREAKING NEWS: FILIPINOS WANT A REFUND OF ONE DIRECTION CONCERT TICKETS

1 Comment

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The 5-member English band One Direction is now a quartet, after one of its members, Zayn Malik quit the group just as it was scheduled to stage a concert in Manila.

No reason was given for Malik’s sudden resignation, but many are speculating that it was because of the Philippines’ Bureau of Immigration’s decision to impose a marijuana bond on Malik and one other band member to ensure that the duo will not smoke or promote the smoking of weed during their Philippine concert tour.  The Philippines had earlier imposed the payment of a bond in the amount of two hundred pesos each for the duo which would be forefeited if they are caught smoking or promoting MJ during their Philippines visit.

Upon learning of the news, thousands of Filipino music fans stormed the concert venue at the Mall of Asia demanding a refund of their concert  tickets, saying that they paid for five band members, not four.

As of press time, it wasn’t clear whether or not the concert will even be held as scheduled.

It is a a clear sign that no foreign group can mess with Filipinos.
