On Friday, Apple opened up the pre-order of the much-anticipated iPhone 7. The phone comes in a variety of colors from jet black, matte black, silver, rose gold and gold, but it you want the iPhone 7 in jet black then you’re out of luck. The jet black iPhone 7 sold out within minutes of pre-order. This is crazy considering Apple is warning users that this phone scratches easily. Life hack: buy a jet black case. In U.S. stores, you will receive a shipping date regardless of which color you buy. But, by choosing any form of the black iPhone 7, you will have to wait an additional two weeks – two months from original shipping date of September 16. (Source: Mashable)

It was supposed to allow Twitter users to subscribe to live feed notifications and alert users when their Periscope feed is live. The button’s goal was to make Twitter a more video prominent platform and score live content deals with NFL, MLB and NHL. However, when asked why Twitter removed their button so quickly a spokesperson stated, “We’re experimenting with different ways to discover live video on Twitter.” Guess the button failed the experiment.
