Bryce Williams, (aka Lester Lee Flanagan, who's birth name is Vester Lee Flanagan), opened fire on two reporters whom he blamed for his firing. Cameraman Adam Ward, 27, and reporter Alison Parker, 24, of WDBJ 7 TV, were killed during reporting in Roanoke, Virginia. Flanagan posted the incident on Facebook, which was recorded using a GoPro camera. He later shot himself.
Make no mistake: The wearables market is here to stay. Even though the market is incredibly young, it's already evolving very rapidly. A shift from relatively basic devices toward more full-featured devices is already well under way. IDC has just released its estimates for second-quarter 2015, and Apple has hit the ground running, promptly jumping to the No. 2 spot during Apple Watch's first quarter of availability.
Apple sold 3.6 million smartwatches in its opening quarter, blasting past competitors Samsung, Garmin, and Xiaomi to consume 20 percent of the overall wearables market. Apple shipped six times more smartwatches than Samsung did during the second quarter of the year, landing the Apple Watch maker in second place behind wearables market leader Fitbit. The entire category surged forward thanks to Apple's entry, which kickstarted wider interest in wearables.
