Abandoned puppy found in Mass. euthanized, police investigate as animal cruelty
Police have been investigating an animal cruelty case in which two puppies were found abandoned in Randolph earlier this month, according to police. One of the puppies was in such bad condition that veterinarians decided to euthanize it. On the evening of Aug. 1, a passerby found two puppies abandoned along a walkway between the Martin E. Young Elementary School on Lou Courtney Drive and Barbara Road, Randolph police said in a press release. The passerby quickly notified police, and the puppies — a male and female around 11 weeks old — were immediately taken to VCA Weymouth. 'Unfortunately, shortly after arrival, it was determined that due to the extent of the condition of the male puppy, the most compassionate recourse was to provide him with a peaceful passing,' police wrote. Randolph police are now asking the public to help them identify 'the individual(s) responsible for dumping these helpless dogs,' the police department wrote. Investigators believe the suspects are likely basement breeders who live in Randolph or a neighboring community. The puppies are of mixed breed — possibly some sort of shepherd or hound mix — and have 'a distinct black tail,' police said. The female puppy is not currently up for adoption. Randolph police are asking anyone who thinks they may have seen suspicious activity in the area on or around Aug. 1 or who knows of home breeders in the area that breed similar dogs to contact them. Those with information about the case are asked to call Detective Kevin Aldred at 781-963-1212, police said. Alternatively, you can submit an anonymous tip by texting 'Randolph' to 847411 or by downloading the Randolph Police Department application onto your Apple or Android phone. No further information about the case has been released.

Apple faces lawsuit over alleged theft of mobile wallet technology for Apple Pay
Apple is currently facing a lawsuit filed in the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, by Fintiv, which accuses the tech giant of illicitly acquiring mobile wallet technology used to develop its payment service, Apple Pay. Fintiv is has been providing patented digital solutions for merchant payments, cross-border transactions, and digital asset tokenisation, with more than 100 ecosystems deployed in over 35 countries. The legal proceedings, initiated by Kasowitz on behalf of Fintiv, claim that Apple was involved in a pattern of criminal activities, including wire fraud and misappropriation of trade secrets. These actions were allegedly part of a scheme to appropriate Fintiv's mobile wallet technology, which has been a factor in the success and revenue generation of Apple Pay. The lawsuit details that over a decade ago, Apple purportedly sought a business partnership with CorFire, Fintiv's predecessor, under the guise of licencing their mobile wallet technology. During 2011 and 2012, Apple is said to have attended meetings with CorFire, receiving confidential information under NDAs with the intention of forming a licencing agreement. Contrary to this, the lawsuit alleges that Apple used this information for its own benefit, subsequently launching Apple Pay in 2014 with features that Fintiv claims were derived from CorFire's technology. Furthermore, the complaint accuses Apple of creating an enterprise with banks and payment networks to utilise the contested technology in processing Apple Pay transactions, resulting in substantial annual earnings for the involved parties. The complaint alleged: "By modifying Apple Pay for use on four separate categories of its devices, Apple has repeated and compounded its theft by knowingly utilising Fintiv's stolen technology in the hundreds of millions of iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and MacBooks it has sold worldwide." This legal challenge comes on the heels of a separate case that was dismissed last month, where Apple, Visa, and Mastercard were accused of engaging in anti-competitive payment practices. According to the lawsuit, Apple allegedly received a "cash bribe" from Visa and Mastercard in exchange for not competing with them in the payment industry, resulting in transaction costs. "Apple faces lawsuit over alleged theft of mobile wallet technology for Apple Pay " was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.

Silly Goose frontman Jackson Foster arrested for pop-up concert at Chicago gas station after Lollapalooza gig
A rap-rock band's frontman was arrested for throwing a pop-up concert at a gas station just days after their 'legendary' Lollapalooza performance — despite claiming he had a deal to host the gig. Silly Goose frontman Jackson Foster, 23, was seen being handcuffed at a BP gas station in Chicago, Ill. on Saturday and taken into a police cruiser. 'What am I being arrested for?' Foster asked the officers in the video. Advertisement Foster walked through a crowd of cheering fans and yelled, 'They're only getting me, not the rest of the guys!' 4 Silly Goose frontman Jackson Foster was arrested during a pop-up concert at a gas station. sillygooseatl, /Instagram The arrest happened two days after Silly Goose performed at Lollapalooza's opening on Thursday, where an estimated 115,000 people attended each day. Advertisement 'Was I the only artist who played Lollapalooza and then went to jail?' Foster later wrote in an Instagram post. Foster was the only member of the band to be arrested for the impromptu performance. He claimed that the Atlanta-based band, which has 95,000 monthly Spotify listeners, received permission from the gas station manager to perform at the location for an hour in exchange for $100 nightly. 'We did the same thing last year and we had an arrangement with the dude who runs the gas station,' Foster told Chicago Q101. 'And he was cool with us playing there and we would just give him a couple of hundred bucks each night. Advertisement 4 Foster insisted that the band 'received permission from the manager' to perform. sillygooseatl, /Instagram 'We went to go do the same thing this year. He said we were all good and that we could play at the gas station.' Foster said the gig went well across the first two nights of the Lollapalooza weekend, but the band clashed with police on their third night playing at the gas station. 'We were playing and the cops showed up. I don't know if (the manager) changed his mind or what happened, but all of a sudden we stop playing, I get off the van and I'm put in handcuffs and brought to the police station,' he said. Advertisement 'At first, in the beginning of the set, the guy who worked there was standing in front like in the crowd smiling. When the cops got there, I saw the cars pull up and we kept playing. When they walked over to the van, we stopped playing. I never saw (the police) walk behind and talk to the guy at first. I'm sure they talked to him because I think he signed something for us to go to jail. I'm not really sure. 4 Video posted on social media showed Foster being handcuffed and taken into custody. sillygooseatl, /Instagram Police claimed the incident was much more serious than how Foster described it.
