蘋果iPhone「電池門」事態嚴重了，南韓6萬名消費者控告蘋果

蘋果有難了！南韓6萬多名消費者，正式控告蘋果，要求賠償每人20萬韓圜（約1,480港元），總金額約127億韓圜（約8千多萬港元），同時是南韓史上原告最多的單一官司，事件引起南韓媒體關注。

去年有用家發現蘋果在用家不知情情況下將舊iPhone的效能刻意下降，蘋果的說法是為了配合電池損耗，提升電池的壽命，但此舉卻引來全球消費者的批評。媒體指出，律師事務所Hannuri Law代表63,767名南韓的iPhone用家，向首爾中央地方法院提出控告蘋果欺騙消費者。

雖然蘋果去年很快就iPhone電池問題道歉，並提供以優惠價更換電池的方案。但有多個國家消費者依然提告，在美國，去年底已經有數起集體官司控告蘋果。義大利反壟斷機構亦已開始調查蘋果iPhone電池問題。在南韓，這已不是第一宗官司，一家消費者機構早在今年初已經提出控告蘋果，地方法院亦已經展開調查。

The current most handsome Mazda, the CX-50, is it worth it?

There is a saying in the automotive circle, "Mazda's exterior design never disappoints, except for the CX-30 EV." So, at first glance, I believe most people will be attracted by the handsome front fascia of the CX-50. The iconic wing-shaped grille, matched with narrower headlights and the "forehead" created by the extended hood, gives the CX-50 a deep and fierce gaze, completely different from the harmless styling of an ordinary family SUV. The extensive crossover body kit around the vehicle is cleverly designed by Mazda and does not compromise the overall posture of the car. Instead, it brings a sense of wild power, creating a completely different feeling from the CX-30 EV. At this point, you have to admire Mazda's design prowess. The side profile of the all-new CX-50 demonstrates Mazda's persistence in traditional car styling. Although it is a transverse engine model, the length of the CX-50's hood has reached the level of longitudinally engine mod

A truly conscientious car manufacturer! Investing a whopping $10 billion in research and development.

Tesla's annual R&D investment exceeds $10 billion, which is over 70 billion Chinese yuan! But have you noticed that Tesla's vehicle models seem to have little variation? So, where does this massive R&D budget go? Recently, Elon Musk tweeted on the X platform, "Tesla will invest approximately $10 billion this year in comprehensive training and reasoning artificial intelligence, with the latter primarily used for vehicles. Any company that cannot achieve this level of expenditure and cannot spend efficiently will not be able to compete." From the very beginning, Tesla established a unique product design principle: sticking to first principles, focusing on ultimate performance, pursuing sleek and diverse exterior designs, and constructing vehicles using high-strength martensitic steel, which is not easily modified once finalized. The same applies to the hardware of the three-electric systems. This doesn't mean Tesla is standing still. On the contrary, through

劍禮

警隊自成立以來，在多方面都受英軍影響，禮儀和操練多仿照英軍，但加入香港本土特色和元素，例如沿自英軍的咖哩，加入了牛腩和魚蛋，成為警隊特定的咖哩。因警隊實際上是最後一個本地化的部門，直至回歸前仍有大量外籍高級警官（老外），所以他們和英軍保持良好關係，公事合作外，亦有很多禮節性和社交活動，一直影響警隊，很多已融合成為香港特色和文化遺產，好像香港富有殖民地色彩的路牌一樣，是香港的一部份。 很多其他紀律或制服部隊和團體，都與警隊有密切關係，而警隊亦一直提供各種訓練給他們，所以很多辦事方式和禮儀都和警隊很接近或甚至一樣，最佳例子是香港交通安全隊（見圖），所有禮儀和步操都和警隊一樣。 劍禮是另一種仍保留和普遍使用於紀律部隊和制服團體的儀式，用於婚禮中，過往因老外主要在教堂行禮，只限用於教堂。現在華人結婚，儀式在甚麼地方舉行都有，所以劍禮亦在不同地方，包括酒店和酒樓舉行。 在警隊，如舉行劍禮儀式，新郎或新娘子一般是警隊督察級或以上人員，獲警察總部批准後，便可邀請六至八位同袍（一般是在警察學院的同班同學）為劍手（持劍人），各劍手亦須穿上警隊禮服，由警察物料供應部借出，而配劍（是英國偉堅信刀劍廠鑄造）亦是由警隊不同訓練機構借出，儀式是一對新人手拉手通過由同袍組成的劍陣，六或八位同事分成兩排面對面站立，手持劍向上，和對面高舉的劍，劍鋒對劍鋒成交叉狀態，當新人通過時，劍可隨時降下，把新人「圍困」在劍陣，可要求新人做一些動作，像一般婚禮中的「玩新人」，才讓他們通過劍陣，儀式便告完成。 劍禮沿自英國海軍，但現在很多國家都有，包括澳洲和德國等，雖然舉行方法有些不同，但都是大同小異。現在不但用於軍警和紀律部隊，而一般平民百姓亦有改良版本，用於婚禮上，很有特色。相信在本文出街後，很快便有婚禮禮儀公司有興趣採用，介紹給他們的客人，各位準新人可考慮此傳統和有特色的禮儀！
