Apple and AT&T Sued in Class-Action Lawsuit in Louisiana

Reported by Logan Leger on Fri, Aug 14th, 2009 — begin the discussion

A recent class-action lawsuit has been brought before a Louisiana district court against Apple, the maker of the wildly popular iPhone, and AT&T, the exclusive carrier of the mobile device. The suit is tantamount to a false advertising lawsuit, claiming both companies heavily advertised the availability of MMS capability with the release of the iPhone 3.0 OS update and neither has delivered upon said promise. After Apple released the new OS with the disclaimer that MMS, tethering and other features would be available immediately on other international carriers but not AT&T, the internet erupted and AT&T has received much negative PR because of this. However, the disclaimer did say that these features would be available in the late summer of 2009. Not only is that extremely vague, but the time is also up. This lawsuit could gain traction and if so similar cases could spring up around the nation. However, it is important to note that this lawsuit is brought under Louisiana statutes that may not exist in other states.

John Lennon Bus on LSU Campus; Free Shwag

Reported by Logan Leger on Thu, Jun 04th, 2009 — begin the discussion

The John Lennon Bus is a non-profit educational bus that travels the country. Ten months out of the year, the team of three is on the road going to various campus and community organizations to educate through music. Through the generous support of companies such as Apple, Sony, and Maxell, the bus helps kids realize their music potential.

This week, the bus is on campus. Today, in front of the Union, you can go to the bus to get a free t-shirt from Apple and miscellaneous free electronics from Maxell and take a tour of the bus. It’s absolutely incredible inside and the exact type of opportunity I’d want if I were at all musically inclined. It’s definitely a worthwhile stop if you’re on campus (if nothing else for the free shirt, I mean, it’s Apple and American Apparel, what more could you ask for?).

Tomorrow, the three on-board producers are working with a digital media class at LSU to create, shoot and produce a live music video in a one eight-hour session.

You can learn more about the bus by visiting their website.
