Current Events 4.4

1.  Apple is trying to keep from having to unlock a suspect's phone, because it would makes millions of other phones vulnerable to hackers and criminals.

2.  Carnitine is the food supplement that Texas A&M researches have found may help autistic kids.  It's found in red meats and whole milk, and it can be bought as an over-the-counter supplement.

3.  Walmart blames online shopping for its decline in earnings.  They've tried going mobile and internet-friendly (and it has worked), but it's still a struggle.  (Amazon is mentioned, and who doesn't like Amazon?)

4.  They're appealing to UIL because traveling through Austin traffic would result in extra money spent in order to get where the need to be.  They were all denied.

5.  A popular VR device coming to the market soon is the Oculus Rift.

6.  The Court is having to promote someone to being the justice due to the death of the old one (Justice Antonin Scalia), and people aren't really agreeing over things.
     Pressure should be put on congress to deal with this deadlock problem.  Things could end up going downhill fast if things aren't solved relatively soon (although it can be that way with even the most mundane of problems).
     I'm mostly unaware of politics in general, to be honest, so I have no idea what should happen.
