Apple is known for the number one products that they sell. This is from the IPhone, iPad, and computers.

Technology is one of the things that keeps advancing as times goes by. The new technology that has come out recently is IOS 8. This new technology has more advance features than iOS 7. For example, apps can display useful information on the today screen, like the weather and sports scores. Siri can identify a song playing in its surroundings, and it even lets you share iTunes purchases with your family. The update is only available to iPhone 4S, 5, 5C and 5S. Since this is just coming out, users have to be patients to all get on the server at the same time. Whether you can get it, depends on your memory, operating system, and if you have a lot of apps. Reason is that the new software has bugs and that will probably slow down some applications or drain your battery life.

Comparing the two different search engines: Google Both Yahoo! Relevance is more up to date Show relevant information on topic Has more advertisements Focuses more on finding the topic for its user(S) Numerous results Powered by Bing, another search engine More professional, you select what you need such as images, news, maps, etc Offers a lot of products, such as mail, news, finance, etc
When doing my research on my topic, I found that Google helped me more because the information related to my topic was accessible and useful. Unlike Google, Yahoo had more articles that it was really easy to see that they were more biased than reliable. 4. The article that stands out to me most is the first one 1a. it was written September 18, 2014 at 5:15 pm by Chris Isidore and Jose Pagliery @CNNTech. It has been published before earlier the same day but in the morning. It relates to my topic because it shows examples of how the emerging technology is all around us. It also talks about the different actions that the user will be able to do with the new iPhone and how the company protects its customers information. This looks like accurate information because it has been published on a news website and all the information pertaining cannot be biased. The evidence to support this is that the article is published on New York (CNNMoney) website. This article has been written to inform the audience of the new features of the iPhone 6 and the material is objective. 5.

6. When comparing the two articles, I want to compare, iOS 8: Official features, Now available for download and Personal Computer Companies; Apple Announces iOS 8 Available September 17. The two articles focus on the new features of the iPhone 6, but the first article mentioned has listed the features from the getgo. For example, the first article jumps into talking about the earlier versions of the technology and how it has changed. The article shows quick access to the material and it does not have paragraphs of background information. The second article, you have to skim through it to find the new updates on the iOS 8 and the keywords are highlighted so the user can identify the relevance to the topic. For the timeliness, both articles have recently been written but the second one shows more accuracy. This is because the first one states that the article is in response to a recent blog as to where the second article is written to inform and has no comments or suggestions at the bottom of the page. That ties into the authority that the article belongs to. The second one seems more credible because the references are listed on the bottom of the article and it shows where the information was obtained from. The first article you have to look for the author and the references.
