flash

Personally, I find that Flash is a very neat tool to learn how to use. You can use it for projects, to create games, or just to have fun. There are so many things you can do with flash, so you can never get bored. The more you practice using flash, the more things you learn how to do, and the more useful it gets.

sirius/xm radio merging

If i was a gambling man, I would bet my house on satellite radio in the future. Sattelite radio has been introduced since ten years ago, and it hasn't expanded like most people would like. Sattelite radio is a great idea, good music, limited commercials, something Americans in rush hour traffic thrive for. But now that there is no competition and it is a monopoly, the xm/sirius company will have more than twice the customers. As much as it helps the company, it will most likely hurt the consumers. Obviously the monopoly will allow them to inflate the prices as consumers have no choice if they want commercial free radio.

What I do online

Something interesting I do online is I play internet checkers with my friends Nathan and Omar. It is set up so you can create private rooms, thus making it easy for us to play each other. In my career in this class I have about a 83% win percentage over Omar, and a 60% win percentage over Nathan. We could play online chess all day everyday and never get tired of it.

Online life

1. I believe this statement to be very true because people at the bottom in society are desparate to be someone. Desparation for popularity can make people do things they never thought they would ever do.
2. I would be upset if that happened and I didn't give him/her permission. I think everybody deserves a right to privacy, and they should be the judge of their own picture being put on the internet for millions to see.
3. The truly private life is an illusion in today's society because technology is so advanced that it is nearly impossible to keep things from the public eye. Ex. Spy cameras, internet, patriot act
4. The creolization of the media means that the media is changing way that Americas think, live, act and complete daily tasks.
5. Yes it could because the newspaper business sole purpose is to make money. They make money by selling newspapers. So they will do anything or right any story to get people to read them.
6. I think it is very weird because I don't think many people want to have their occupation status and progress put on the internet for anybody to see it.
7. I think the man who created the website isn't an actual idiot, he is just a man that loves to make money, and he did a good job of doing that.
8. I did enjoy the article very much because it is a topic that catches almost every young adults eye. Public nudity, right or wrong. I believe is she wants to have the whole world see her naked, let her practice her first amendment rights. Nudity has been around for thousands 0f years. God made everybody naked at first, we just adapted. Jesus was naked, gods and kings in Europe are remembered in nude statues. Just because she isnt a god or a king, it doesnt mean she can't be freely nude.
