BBC iPlayer catch-up window extended to 30 days
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/oct/06/bbc-iplayer-30-days-sherlock
This article is based on the fact that BBC have decided on extended the period of time that shows are left up on BBC iPlayer, which allows people to catch up on shows they haven't been able to watch, during the week on time. It explains how from a week, it will change to 30 days. Making it more and more convenient for the audience and not limiting them in any way.
- There are more than 7m requests for BBC iPlayer programming a day.
- The BBC said the Sherlock series three opener had received more than 3.6 million requests on the iPlayer.
I find this article quite interesting as it shows me and the rest of the population whom use this facility that we will be able to access programmes and radio stations that we have missed for a longer period. (4 times) This is a good thing for me, as it means that I wont just have a week to have to watch everything, however will be able to watch it whenever I want and whenever is convenient for me.
Alleged iPhone 6 prototype for sale on eBay for more than $60,000
This article is about how a prototype of the Apple iPhone 6, 64gb is in possession of an ebay seller and shouldn't be. It is stated that it came in her hands as she renewed her contract and it was sent to her. It doesn't have the original markings, which it should do and it does not run on the normal iOS8 software, however runs on something totally different and is believed to be in diagnostic mode. On the phone are apps that aren't available to normal iPhone holders. These are used in order to test new apps.
- An eBay seller is reported to be in possession of a prototype of Apple’s recently released iPhone 6 and is selling it for in excess of $61,000 (£38,200).
- It is unlikely that the auction will be allowed to complete, despite reaching $61,000 with 99 bids from 36 separate bidders and over three days left to run
I find this article quite interesting as it allows me to be more aware when shopping on these sites. Despite having never shopped on sites like Ebay and Ebay itself, it shows that not everything is authentic and real online. Some things are way overpriced and aren't what they are meant to be originally. Making the audience and consumers more and more aware of these scenarios.
