Donald Sterling and girlfriend

This past weekend longtime racist and Clippers owner Donald Sterling was caught on tape in conversation with his girlfriend (who is Mexican and African American) saying he doesn't want black people attending the games, especially NBA legend Magic Johnson after she posted a picture with the NBA legend on Instagram at a LA Dodgers game. Over the last few days the world has been in uproar about this situation, protests and walkouts were in place by 5 NBA teams that were to play Tuesday night if the players' didn't like the decision the league was to make Tuesday afternoon. NBA commissioner Adam Silver banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the NBA for life (he's 80 so that's not a lot of time) and it was really the only move that could be made. Sterling has the mentality of a slave master 400 years ago and not of a businessman in American where we are proud to have a black President. A lot of NBA owners, players and former players seem to be happy about the decision to ban Sterling from the league forever and the NBA has stated they will forced Sterling to force the team and hopefully he complies so we can put this ugliness behind us and move forward as an equal society.

Racist comments of Donald Sterling.

Are You Eating Though? Childish Gambino 'Sweatpants' Video

Yesterday Childish Gambino dropped a new music video for 'Sweatpants' off of his latest album, Because of the Internet. If you haven't heard the album yet you're slipping because it's amazing from start to finish.

 The video shows several Childish Gambinos in a diner after what looks like a long night. It loops the same scene over and over adding something different every time. Sounds trippy right? Well if you know Gambino you know he's nothing like your typical rapper and this video proves it. Check it out below! 

 

Tech Tuesday: iPad Pro Concept

So how awesome would it be if the macbook Pro and iPad got together in tech world and birthed a new phenomenon known as the iPad Pro? As owners of many Apple products, personally we'll be stoked. Maybe if Apple sees how much customers would want this new technology they will feel pressure to take this design serious. Ramotion is a technology agency that is known to build apps as well as many other mobile technologies. We think they have definitely hit gold with this new concept that they pitched to Apple. Take a look at all the cools specs below. 

3D Video Calls (I mean how crazy would that be?)

Taking multi-tasking to a whole new level

Now we know how it feels to get hyped on dream that Apple sells, but hopefully Ramotion is successful in their proposal with Apple and we can see this in stores next year!

Would you add this to your apple connection?
