Marketplace Tech for Wednesday, September 11, 2013

And Apple announced a host of new products this week. Two new iPhones, a new operating system iOS 7, and a streaming music service iTunes Radio. But the announcement that might truly push the boundaries of modern technology is the company's new fingerprint scanning tool. Apple's new iPhones have scanning hardware and software that will unlock the phone itself. It also could unlock new legal and hacking challenges.
