Hackers Caught

Two hackers stole personal info from over 100,000 I pad users including famous performers and politicians. They are telling the charges for the two men on Tuesday. AT&T revealed the security problems months ago, but there is no evidence that says the criminals used the information for criminal purposes.
I think the hackers were paid to show everyone the are problems with the I pad. AT&T probably just paid the hackers to go do so Apple would go ask for their help. AT&T should realize that they might get in trouble if they did do that.

Man Injured in Prison Week

A former inmate is suing the federal government after the staff were slow to come to his aid. Resident Timothy Elliott, 37 alleges that he suffered permanent disabling injuries during the prison riot on Jan. 10, 2009. According to Elliott he was moving from one prison area to the next before a group of inmates started a riot. He was stabbed a couple of times and beaten from head to toe. The correction staff were informed but did not stop to help Robert, instead Robert was left bleeding without assistance.
This is disturbing because the correction staff is payed to stop stuff like this but they just watched as someone got hurt.Even if the man was an inmate getting hurt, they have to protect everyone in the prison as if they were like their child. This is how a job of protecting people works and no one should get hurt, so the government should be getting sued for hiring people who do not do their job.

No One Comes to Aid

A elderly woman was found in a Toronto Driveway without vital signs in the bitter cold. It was said that no one answered her cries for help. There might have been a different outcome if the police were informed earlier or at all. A newspaper women found the women at 5:30 a.m. in a driveway at Kennaley Crescent just a block away from her home. It is said that the women had Alzheimer's disease which had her walk away her from her house around 2 in the morning in the bitter cold. The is no foul play suspected in the case but she looked distraught and looking for help. It is suspected that many people saw this and did not call the police.
This is surprising because an old lady like this asking for help everyone just watching and not helping sounds rotten. This does not feel real and not really happening. If this true it is just wrong and out of this world. People who saw this should have to jail because I do not know how you watch it and not do anything

The Battle Continues

There has always a selling battle between AT&T and Verizon wireless. To get ahead of it's rival Verizon is trying to bring in the I phone 4 to help bring up sales. It took 3 years for Verizon to get apple tomake a  deal while their rivals had the I Phone's since the release of them. This will also help apple compete with their rivals, Google Inc. Verizon revealed that the I Phone was not a year old when the negotiations became serious. That is when Apple realized they needed another provider in the states to keep their U.S. a strong momentum.
This is showing people will do anything to gain money and do not care who gets hurt. If people cared more there would never be people who are rich or poor. Everyone would have the same stuff because we can all afford the same stuff and all afford the same thing. This is why we should find a way for everyone to to get everyone to have the same amount of money.

New Mayor

After a long ten month race for the mayor position is over. Rob Ford has surpassed all and taken control of Ontario for the position of mayor. Previous mayor David Miller did not seek a third term. Many people thought Liberal leader George Smitherman was going to come up on top.41% percent of the votes when to Rob Ford so it makes it a minority. As the race for mayor got close to voting day it was full of ugly incidents with the homophobic commercials targeting the openly gay Smitherman and the article targeting Ford's weight. But only only one person can come out on top and that was Ford.
With mayoral race you really think about the days looking up to this moment which was filled with things that are not supposed to be there like ads and articles about the opponent. The race is where your supposed to put out your points not to chirp your opponent. Make points and put out why you would be a better mayor

Climate Change Conference in Cnacun

Ministers have started to fly down to a resort in Cancun for a climate control conference.Chris Huhne, the energy and climate mister is the leader of 45 other British delegates that are staying in Mexico for climate control conference. The expensive conference will be guarded by the Mexican army. This conference is being criticized by environmentalist because of the destruction of forest in the hotel where it is being held. More than 15,000 people have flown down for the annual United Nations meeting to see how they are going to cut down carbon emissions.
This is a big threat to the existence of our planet and many countries do not as much as they should right now. If everyone were aware of this problem then there would be less of a threat of carbon emissions. I think if everyone in the world did something to this then our earth would be safe for a longer period of time.

CES gadget show dominated by tablet

The Consumer Electronic Show(CES) was dominated by none other than the tablets.It is thought that over a hundred or more portable gadgets are to be shown off at the four-day technology show. There is gonna be over 120,000 people visiting the 150,000 sq m hall in Las Vegas. These computers is smarter living and has greater mobility, and is going to be sold more in 2011.
I think a tablet is not nearly as good as a normal laptop because a tablet is flat and easy to break. It could easily fall and break on something on the floor. It could also be easily crushed by books or scratched by anything sharp. This is why i would never would like to use a tablet over a laptop.

No Brown Apples

Don't you hate when your apples turn brown. Well a Canadian biotechnology company is asking the U.S. to genetically enhance apples so they would not turn brown even after sliced. U.S. apple farmers are not sure they want to grow the product because even with the apple they are not sure how well the apple will grow, the cost of planting, and whether people would buy it. They are just like normal apples but the only difference is that when they are cut from the tree it does not turn brown. This would increase the eating of apples and making many more kids eating more healthy.
I think this would be a great idea and good for healthy eating if this goes through. Even though it is said that we will never know for sure when they will accept the idea of genetically enhancing apples. this is also bad because if this goes through apple sellers can give away apples away that look way younger than they actually are.

Are winter tire worth it?

Now is the time of year when the snow starts falling and everyone starts getting winter tires on their car. Are the tires even worth it though. Normal tires use a rubber that at -10C they become useless and start sliding around. There is still a difference of winter and all season tires which is that all season gives the same performance as winter tires till the temperature reaches a low -5 when the it lowers it's traction a bit. Winter tires are also completely useless during the other months so you need two sets of tires. This puts the price at $500 to $2000 per set of tires.
I feel that the market is ripping people off. They want people to buy two sets of tires and spend their money out on this. They are many things the economy does that hurts us.

Fastest Dinosaur

It is now said that the T-Rex has a fast side to it. The findings in the Anatomical Record state that the reptile is a slow-scavenger that served as a counterbalance for its massive head. In the University of Alberta they found that the T-Rex can grow larger tail muscles than modern day reptiles. The tail muscles are attached to the upper leg bones in both dinosaur's and modern day reptiles. The T-Rex's lowest ribs are much higher than modern day reptiles which gives more room for the other muscles to grow massively. They said they underestimated the T-Rex's tail mass and know now the T-Rex could outrun any other animal in the ecosystem.

This just shows how unfair it was when the dinosaurs ruled the Earth. One animal could outrun all, crush all, and just destroy everyone. If everything was fair and not like the dinosaurs then no one would stand out and there would not be any useless killings today.
