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.

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.
