August 20, 2008: When the 3G iPhone released, some people started complaining about the connection. Apple (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/apple)wasn’t saying anything. An independant company stated that the “Infineon” chip that helped control 3G was to blame for the issue. It was suspected that a software update would fix the problem.However the 2.0.2 software update didn’t really help with the connection problems. Add to it the fact that a woman was suing Apple over the 3G network being slower than advertised.

Steve Jobs (http://www.geekazine.com/tag/steve-jobs) finally put out a letter stating that by 2.1 the issues will be resolved.

This would be far from the first time a company, especially a tech company, was accused of avoiding taxes. For example, Bernie Sanders believes that Amazon has skirted tax law in the United States. However, this might be the first time that the country in question believes that the company paid what they were supposed to.read full article (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3317-apple-and-ireland-to-fight-european-union-control-over-taxes.html)Piltch Point with Avram PiltchPowered by PureVPN (http://piltchpoint.live/purevpn)Extra LifePowered by Razer (http://f5live.tv/razer)Twitch made a new page for Ninja, accidentally suggested porn (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3318-twitch-made-a-new-page-for-ninja-accidentally-suggested-porn.html)At the beginning of the month, popular Twitch streamer Tyler "Ninja" Blevins announced that he would be leaving (https://plughitzlive.com/theupstream/3310-ninja-is-jumping-ship-moving-from-twitch-to-microsofts-mixer.html) his home of 8 years on Twitch to exclusively stream on Microsoft's Mixer platform.

August 18, 1992: Wang Computers had been growing, but their financial outlook didn’t seem good. In 1992, they filed for Bankruptcy protection. They eventually got out of bankruptcy, but not before they changed the scope of the business. They changed to Wang Global, then in 1999 were bought out by “Gentronics”

2011 – CEO Leo Apatheker made an announcement HP will be focusing on Enterprise, and putting the PC division on sale. This sale did not include the WebOS software. He instantly discontinued the HP TouchPad tablet and Pre series of smart phone. By the evening, most stores would discount the TouchPad to $99. This brought a lot of controversy, as some people would go to buy a TouchPad at Best Buy and they were denied as HP told them to ship the units back. BTW – HP was incorporated back in 1947 on this day.
