Microsoft's
With Facebook hogging all the fame and Google making Google+ Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to create a social networking search website of their own. Microsoft's social network search would be called So.cl (social). So.cl is supposed to an experimental social network that is NOT supposed to be a 
 Facebook rival. It will have a "bookmarket" button which will be much like the like button from facebook.

Did you know that your are technically suing Apple too? Since Real Networks is suing about all iPods if you own any iPod then you are included in the lawsuit. Even if Real Networks win you will not receive any money because no actually money is yet involved.
Several iPod users filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple. Now -- eight years later -- it's gaining steam

click here for full story

The highly anticipated Call of  Duty Black Ops 2 released its trailer on Tuesday. The trailer revealed that the game would have a Si-Fi theme consisting of robots and near future events like the military having robot and other future technology. I think this SiFi theme will completely kill the series and completely defeat the point of Call of Duty being life like and real. I my opinion the company will reach an all time low in sales and make no money compared to past games they created.

My spring break

Over spring break I went to Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico I stayed at the Caribe Hilton. The weather was perfect. It was 85 degrees and sunny the entire week. Throughout the week we constantly went to Old San Juan and went to shops. I also visited many relatives. Puerto Rico was perfect and I had a great time. On Saturday, I played baseball game with some of my friends. At five thirty that evening I had a baseball game. At first the game was going good. In the first two innings we were winning 6-1. But after that we just choked each of the in fielders had an error and one of our outfielders in particular missed every ball that went to him and did not get a hit.

Review: New iPad neither dud nor 'revolution'

click here for full story

 

Does Apple's highly anticipated new ipad really live up to Apple's high revolutionary standards? According to John D. Sutter of CNN, the new ipad really just falls in the middle. The new ipad has a 44% better pixel increase compared to that of the ipad 2. The high resolution makes the ipad seem almost HD. In an app or gamming aspect the A5X processor just avoids lagging and is just a faster processor. I know this all seems good but Sutter means that the new ipad really has nothing distinct about it like how the ipad 2 had a camera. Honestly I would not buy this product right away I would wait for a new and improved ipad which will most likely come out soon.
