In telecommunication, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for high-

speed wireless communication for mobile devicesand data terminals, based on


the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies. It increases the capacity and speed using a
different radio interface together with core network improvements.[1][2] The standard is developed by
the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and is specified in its Release 8 document series,
with minor enhancements described in Release 9. LTE is the upgrade path for carriers with both
GSM/UMTS networks and CDMA2000 networks. The different LTE frequencies and bands used in
different countries mean that only multi-band phones are able to use LTE in all countries where it is
supported.

Apple continued to release innovative devices, and they all followed that naming scheme,
making it iconic. While perhaps "individual" or "inspire" was the i-meaning for the earlier iPod,
the "internet" meaning came back around when the iPhone was released in 2007.Feb 23, 2016

Apple has been using a lowercase "i" to begin many of its product names ever since
Steve Jobs introduced the first iMac computer on May 7, 1998. His explanation for the
"i" at the time was as follows:

iMac comes from the marriage of the excitement of the Internet with the simplicity of
Macintosh. Even though this is a full-blooded Macintosh, we are targeting this for the

#1 use that consumers tell us they want a computer for, which is to get on the Internet --
simply, and fast. And that is what this product is targeted for.

"i" also means some other things to us. We are a personal computer company, and
although this product is born to network, it also is a beautiful stand-alone product. We
are targeting it also for education. They want to buy these. And it is perfect for most of
the things they do in instruction. It is perfect for finding tremendous sources of
information over the Internet. And we hope as you see the product it will inspire us all to
make even better products in the future.

Internet. Individual. Instruct. Inform. Inspire. Steve Jobs may have originally used
those words to describe the iMac, but they sure do apply quite nicely to the iPhone, don't
they?

Of course, there was a long road from the "i" in iMac to the "i" in iPhone. In July of
1999, Apple announced the iBook, Apple's consumer laptop (which evolved into the
current MacBook). In October of 1999, Apple announced the iMac DV and introduced
iMovie, Apple's consumer video software. On January 5, 2000, Apple released iTools
(which evolved into the current MobileMe), iCards (now defunct) and iDisk. On January
9, 2001, Apple released iTunes and iDVD.
Reddit (/ˈrɛdɪt/, stylized in its logo as reddit) is an American social news aggregation, web
content rating, and discussionwebsite. Registered members submit content to the site such as links,
text posts, and images, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by
subject into user-created boards called "subreddits", which cover a variety of topics including news,
science, movies, video games, music, books, fitness, food, and image-sharing. Submissions with
more up-votes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough votes, ultimately
on the site's front page. Despite strict rules prohibiting harassment, Reddit's administrators spend
considerable resources on moderating the site.[3]
As of February 2018, Reddit had 542 million monthly visitors (234 million unique users), ranking as
the #3 most visited website in U.S. and #6 in the world, according to Alexa Internet, with 57.4% of its
user base coming from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.5% and Canada at
6.3%.[4] Across 2015, Reddit saw 82.54 billion pageviews, 73.15 million submissions, 725.85 million
comments, and 6.89 billion upvotes from its users.[5]
Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in
2005. Condé Nast Publicationsacquired the site in October 2006. Reddit became a subsidiary of
Condé Nast's parent company, Advance Publications, in September 2011. As of August 2012,
Reddit operated as an independent entity, although Advance was its largest shareholder.[6] Reddit is
based in San Francisco, California. In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led
by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg,
and Jared Leto.[7] Their investment valued the company at $500 million then.[8][9] In July 2017, Reddit
raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with Advance Publications remaining the majority
stakeholder.[10]
