The airlines today are filling up close to 85% of available seats. Recently, Delta has made a new feature for the people coming on board the plane. The airline has added a new trait that lets people pay an extra to give a spot next to an unsold seat. Delta’s move to get ” money for nothing” addresses a problem for the business. As every seat for an airliner counts as a sum of the total revenue, this new feature Delta proposed is stopping them from getting their potential revenues. To explain, by letting someone buy off another empty seat with such a relatively cheap price compared to another potential buyer for the seat that would pay even more, Delta would not only lose from the money gained by the seats but also on trivial matters. For instance, in an airline, they serve drinks that needs to be paid. When people who board the plane buy off the seats, there would be not as much customers to buy the drinks than when all the seats are full with people.

LG is a conglomerate enterprise that is particularly strong with their home appliance products such as refrigerators, washing machines and televisions. Right now, they are also enlarging their mobile phone market share to even strengthen the company’s brand image and bottom line. Recently, the service manual of LG Nexus 5 has been leaked online. Reported by the Verge, the service manual gave out the specifications of the upcoming flagship device along with the schematics and instructions. Showcasing a series of drawings of the phone’s design as well as the full specifications sheet, a 281 page internal service manual was posted online. This sort of issue can be a great damage to the company as this not only reveals the company’s technology but as it also diminishes the consumer’s expectations toward LG’s newly introduced mobile phone, LG Nexus 5 would not be as successful than what LG would have expected.
