  The Shocking Truth about...

  Consumer rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements that individuals have when purchasing goods or services. These rights ensure that consumers are treated fairly and are provided with products and services that meet specific standards of safety, quality, and honesty. The concept of consumer rights emerged in response to historical practices that exploited consumers, especially during industrialization when unscrupulous business practices became rampant. 
  The evolution of consumer rights can be traced back to the early 20th century, when the need for consumer protection became increasingly evident. The rise of mass production and the growth of markets introduced significant risks, including the sale of substandard goods, misleading advertising, and fraud. Over time, governments and advocacy groups recognized the necessity of enacting laws to safeguard consumers. This led to the formation of organizations and agencies dedicated to consumer protection, as well as the establishment of laws aimed at ensuring fair business practices. 
  In the United States, one of the most significant milestones in the development of consumer rights was the signing of the Consumer Bill of Rights by President John F. Kennedy in 1962. This document outlined basic rights that every consumer should have, including the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose, and the right to be heard. These principles formed the foundation of many of the consumer protection laws we have today, such as those addressing product safety, fraud prevention, and fair trading.

  Dogfight - How Apple and Google...

  Behind the bitter rivalry between Apple and Google—and how it's reshaping the way we think about technologyThe rise of smartphones and tablets has altered the industry of making computers. At the center of this change are Apple and Google, two companies whose philosophies, leaders, and commercial acumen have steamrolled the competition. In the age of Android and the iPad, these corporations are locked in a feud that will play out not just in the mobile marketplace but in the courts and on screens around the world.     Fred Vogelstein has reported on this rivalry for more than a decade and has rare access to its major players. In Dogfight, he takes us into the offices and board rooms where company dogma translates into ruthless business; behind outsize personalities like Steve Jobs, Apple's now-lionized CEO, and Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman; and inside the deals, lawsuits, and allegations that mold the way we communicate. Apple and Google are poaching each other's employees. They bid up the price of each other's acquisitions for spite, and they forge alliances with major players like Facebook and Microsoft in pursuit of market dominance.Dogfight reads like a novel: vivid nonfiction with never-before-heard details. This is more than a story about what devices will replace our cell phones and laptops. It's about who will control the content on those devices and where that content will come from—about the future of media and the Internet in Silicon Valley, New York, and Hollywood.
