Amazon Fire Phone Review: Setting Nothing A blaze
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/07/amazon-fire-phone-review-android-smartphone
This article is about how the release of one of the most recent phones that have been released by amazon have not done as well as expected and have dissapointed a lot of customers. According to the critics the smartphone felt very outdated and the software inside of it, wasn't as great as expected.
- Instead the Fire Phone is restricted to Amazon’s own App Store, which has around 240,000 apps compared to Google’s Play Store with 1.3m apps.
This article is quite interesting as it shows that some things aren't as successful as others, ie the iphone 6 was more successful in comparison to this. It also shows the way in which media institutions are trying to expand and keep producing more and more things.

Message boards on a notorious website called 4Chan have been inundated with details of the “The Snappening”.
Hackers claim they have managed to break in to another image-saving service that allows users of Snapchat to store pictures received before they vanish.
As proof, they have reportedly posted pictures allegedly taken from this third party app but have since deleted them.
Half of Snapchat users are aged between 13 and 17, and there are grave fears that tens of thousands of leaked images will be of under-age UK children who have been.
This article is quite interesting as it gives awareness not only to kids but to adults to inform them that such social networking apps can be dangerous and nothing is hidden. Also it warns kids and teens to be careful as to who they send pictures to and when they do what capture do they portray to whom they are sending it to.It also shows the way in which media institutions are trying to inform and make sure people are aware of this.

The average Briton spends the equivalent of almost an entire day each week glued to their smartphone screen and uses it 221 times in every 24 hours for social networking, emailing, texting and other tasks.
An animalistic thirst for socialising has made us a nation addicted to our smartphones, often wandering blindly into Facebook without quite knowing why.
This article is quite interesting as it shows how people are addicted to there mobile phones, if its not for phone calls its for texting,emailing and so forth. It shows that many people without even knowing spend so much time on their mobile phones.It also shows the way in which media institutions are trying to explain to people how addicted they are without even knowing it.

21 Emotions We All Experience While Watching the X Factor
http://www.buzzfeed.com/xfactoruk/21-emotions-we-al;l-experience-while-watching-the-x-factor#22pq704
This listicle is all about the many different ways in which people feel when they are watching x factor. This lists 21 ways and expresses the many different ways, ie panic, anger, etc. They are each shown in GIFS, which relate well.
In my opinion, this is a very pointless article as it does not state anything interesting and just states pointless information. I believe no one would actually bother reading it as no one would care how one reacts to watching the X factor.
