IPhone 4S Battery Complaints

The iPhone 4S, the latest revolution in smartphone technology. Sales of A new iPhone come with much fanfare, but also seem to come with at least one major complaint. This holds true for the 4S which is said to have an extremely low battery life, with battery draining even when the phone is barely being used. Iphone users have scarmbled to find a solution to the problem, with some saying that turnoning off the time zone feature on the phone might help the longevity of the phones battery. Apple is used to controversy as shown by the "Antennagate" incident in which the IPhone 4 had difficulty taking calls. Apple however, believes that the Antenna gate controversy had been overblown, and that only a few customers had complained about the product.
When you release a product, it is supposed to have gone through a series of test. Any product that has been released onto the market has to be a finished product. There is no period for mistakes, those had to have been addressed earlier in the testing stages. However, repeatedly Apple uses the advantage it has of a superior quality and an abundance of customer loyalty to release sub par products onto the market. In my opinion, this is one time too many. I say tat the consumers should put the power back into their hands, if consumers really want an Iphone 5 that isn't released with a bug, or glitch. If the consumers want an Iphone 5 that got all the kinks worked out when they should have, they should boycott apple products until this problem is fixed. Maybe next time the product will live up to its expected billing. Rest in peace Steve Jobs.

Facebook Assaulted By Spam

Facebook is being assaulted by spam. Viruses as a result of users lacking caution when dealing with unknown URL has lead to pornographic images being shared on the social networking site. Facebook is working quickly to make sure that the targeted accounts are cleansed or removed from the system as to not cause further problems. The images included pornography as I previously stated, and violent images. Facebook has stated that in order to avoid these problems their users should use up to date browsers and report any suspicious content.
13. Thats the age that Mark Zuckerberg has decided is the right age for children to begin to use social networking sites like Facebook. 7 500 000. The amount of kids under 13 on Facebook. Porn. Something that children , never mind those under 13,  shouldn't being seeing. When I go on Facebook, I go to socialize with friends, not to see 100's of inappropriate images on the site. The images affected a lot of people, I had several friends afflicted with the issue. Facebook's inability to protect its users from this atrocity is unacceptable, especially when the age minimum is only 13. Its a known rule, that once children are invited to a party certain standards are to be upheld. All discussion should be censored so that the children aren't exposed to anything malicious. This is a lesson Mark Zuckerberg needs to learn.

"It Ain't a Day For Quitting Nothing"

"Oops." That's all Presidential Rick Perry had to say about his monumental slip up in Wednesday night's debate. In  a debate that appeared destined to be dominated by the abundance of sex scandals that Herman Cain, one of Perry's main competitors, had encountered, Perry stole the show. Perry was talking about one of the main foundations for his campaign , his plan to eliminate 3 government departments, as a way to cut spending. He listed the first: education, and then followed with the second: commerce, but the third seemed to allude him. Even his fellow debators attempted to help him.  He later recalled after the debate, that the agency he wished to cut was the Energy department. Rick Perry has a lot of damages to deal with as the result of his misstep. Some say it has hurt his chance s of winning the election.
In my opinion, Rick Perry's gaffe is was too great for me. A presidential candidate who cannot remember a key part of his policy, becomes a president who cannot remember the lesser known people in the community. He had only needed to remember three departments, if it had been a longer list, I would be more sympathetic. I also disagree with his department cuts. The department of Education? Energy? Commerce? The are the exact areas that are in need of more funding, not funding cuts. On Wednesday night Rick Perry lost a debate, but more importantly he may have also lost the election.

What's Next for Dr Conrad Murray?

The first step in the long process of putting the killer of Michael Jackson behind bars began on November 8th. Dr.Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, of which the maximum sentence is 4 years. Dr Conrad Murray, however, will most likely receive a shorter sentence, due to the fact that he has mostly a clean slate in terms of criminal offenses. The next step of the process, has already started. The defense team of Dr. Murray have began the process of appealing the ruling. This may take the case all the way to the U.S supreme court, though, it is highly unlikely. Next Murray will be held in prison until his sentencing on the 29th. He is currently under suicide watch. Michael Jackson Mom and Dad are both taking it upon themselves to file civil lawsuits, against AEG Entertainment and Murray respectively. Also books about the case are likely to be published about the case.
My opinion on the case is not exactly straightforward. Yes, Dr. Murray held a hand in Michael Jackson's death. He did not call 911 soon enough, and also he did supply the deadly drugs to Jackson. However, one has to wonder, is Jackson's death the doctors fault or someone else's. Is it's Joe Jackson's, Michael's father, fault, for stealing Michael Jackson's childhood from him, resulting in the depression that led to the need for medication. Is it society's fault, for slowly breaking Jackson down through constant attacks , always contributing an insult to the man whenever one was needed. More likely, it was Jackson's fault. Michael Jackson is a grown man. He should accept the fault for all of his mistakes. He brought upon a lot of the criticism from society, and also he would not be as successful as he is if not for his father. He asked for the medicine, all Dr.Murray did was provide the doses. In my opinion, the man that was ruled guilty today is not the killer. To identify the killer, all Michael needs to do, is look at the man in the mirror. Rest In Peace Michael, we miss you.

Sudbury robot goes to Chile

Chile is a country located in South America. However, most of us know it more for the mining disaster that trapped 33 Chilean men under the ground for  69 days. After the devastation brought upon the Chilean mining community by that horrific event, Chile is investing in the improvement of their mining industry. A mining company called COLDECO is interested in purchasing a robot, mad in Sudbury. This robot's primary use is to go in front of the miner's and detect whether the air in the mine is survivable , or if the geography in the mine is easily disturbed.
This robot can save lives. Every year miners die while working. Mining is one of the most dangerous industries and its great that a world that is constantly evolving in terms of technology that this industry could be made more safe.  However, I feel Chile has been forced to improve upon their mine safety records due to the amount of attention they received when the miners were trapped. 1 Billion people watched news broadcasts which showed them being brought out from the mine. If that's what it takes for mining industry's to stop caring only about the money, and care about the lives of the miners, I'm afraid it won't be long, until we're on the edge of our seats, waiting for more lives to be brought out of the earth.

Rant on Facebook

Is Facebook really helping society or is it slowly destroying centuries of human values?

To further my viewpoint on the matter I feel that Facebook has slowly create a new form of friendship. On Facebook, someone can have a friend, whom they've never actually met. Whereas before somebody tended to want to meet a person in the flesh before deciding upon whether or not they'll be friends, nowadays someone can see pictures of a possible friend, see how they interact with other people, and talk to them on a daily basis with no additional charge, without leaving there seats. Slowly, the days where kids would just spend time together to talk, are dissipating, quickly being replaced, by an era that is being ushered in by Mark Zuckerberg and other pioneers of social networking, an era in which the line between real friend and virtual friend, will be non-existent. Please comment and post your thoughts on this matter

Germany Returns 20 Skulls to Africa

Skulls. 20 of them, used in Berlin for the purpose of proving racial superiority by the shape of one's skull. That what Nambian government officials and the tribe leaders of the Hereo and Nama tribes received at a ceremony. These skulls were a product of extensive experimentation carried out during the World Wars by Germany when they were trying to create the Ultimate soldier. There are reportedly 7000 more skulls that have yet to be returned.
Personally, I think this is a symbolization of a dark time in German history and, Germany's repentance for their actions. The fact they have 7000 skulls is completely ridiculous. I have to wonder when I look around the class,whenever I see the children of people who died in the war. Which one of your grandfathers died in the war fighting for their country, and which ones died fighting for their sanity.
