The iPhone 5 introduced by Les Guignols
An Evergrowing Market  This year, 567 million smartphones will be sold in the world  750 million smartphones in 2014  One billion in 2016  More and more competition  Higher and higher expectations
Apple vs. Everyone Else  Apple won the recent case on copyright violations:  Samsung was prohibited the sale of 8 models of the Samsung Galaxy range
“The Innocence of ”
“The Innocence of ”  The film made by American right- wing Christians, depicts the Prophet Mohammad as a fraud and philanderer  Viewed over 5 million times on YouTube, the clip has caused reactions of fury and violent Anti- American riots across the Islam world
The White House’s request to remove the film clip  Google refused, arguing that the film does not violate YouTube’s Terms of Service  Google restricted access to the film in India and Indonesia because it violates their local laws, and then in Lybia and in Egypt given the sensitive situations
The Debate  Google’s role as a private company in governing free expression by determining which content is acceptable and which is not to show online  “Over reactions has turned the shittiest movie ever made into a worldwide phenomenon” -YouTube user comment
