IN THE NEWS: MICROSOFT-XBOX ONE CHANGES
NEW YORK (AP) -- Xbox One isn't out yet, but Microsoft is already making changes.
The company is rolling back the requirement the gaming console must be regularly connected to the Internet. It's also making clear that there will be no limitations on sharing games.
Microsoft has been criticized for vague statements about whether it will allow Xbox One buyers to play secondhand software.
Company officials say the changes are in response to feedback received since unveiling plans for the console.
The new gaming system will go on sale later this year.
Apple-iPads For School
NEW YORK (AP) -- Every L-A school kid will be getting an iPad.
The Los Angeles Board of Education has approved spending $30 million for iPads as the first part of a multi-year commitment. It found that the iPad was the least expensive option that met its specifications.
The initial order is for more than 31,000 iPads. The Los Angeles Unified School District is the nation's second largest, with more than 640,000 students.
It's a major victory for Apple, as the company touts the iPad as a replacement for conventional textbooks.
