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.

Calming Meat

A study was just put out saying that if you want to calm a man down the best way to do it is to put out a big steak. Scientists say that the other theory of meat making men more aggressive is wrong. Psychologists were shocked by the results by saying meat brings out the caveman in all modern men by lowering aggressive tendencies. They say this because it reminds men and family at meal time. The lead researcher was surprised by the findings because he thought meat would increase aggression because of the growling and grunting when some tries to take the meat away reinforced.
This study is very surprising because this idea is very confusing because I never knew they would men are that easy to control. They are saying that all men can be controlled by looking at a single piece of meat.This is very demeaning they should find a study which finds that could save a disease  not this.

Bug on I Phone 4

Many users of the new I Phone 3 were late for school or work because there was an apparent bug in the phone's system.They say even though the phone automatically updates the time, the alarm clock did not. Many workers or scholars were an hour late for school.This glitch has already has happened to New Zealand and Australia last month when they turned back the clocks. It will happen next week when the clocks turn back for the start of winter. The over-sleepers in all across Europe vented their anger on twitter.

I think that Apple should have looked into this and tried to stop when it happened to Australia and New Zealand. It would have helped many people from depressing starts to the day. When it happened Apple should of clued in on all the frustration of all the users of the I Phone 4. This lowers the use of any Apple products because people now think that they are unreliable.
