GAYDAR? THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!

SILICON VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – How would you know if you’re in a gay-friendly neighborhood? How can you tell if someone you just met at a party is gay or straight? Don’t you wish there was a way for you to get an alert when a hot-looking, shirtless guy is jogging along a sidewalk within blocks of where you’re driving?

Well, wonder no more.

Apple has announced that it will be releasing a new smart phone app that will do all that, plus much more. It’s calling it the Gayzapp and it works not just on Apple devices but also on Androids.

The new app will be rolled out beginning August 30 which happens to be Silicon Valley Pride Day to be marked by a parade and festival. Festival headliner is openly-gay country singer and recording artist Steve Grand (no need for an app for that).

The app will be available for free to all who attend the festival in San Jose. Thereafter, the app can be downloaded from the App Store for $6.90.

APPLE TO SUE LG FOR INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

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.
