Myspace And Suicide

Annals of Crime
By: Lauren Collins


Ah... well MySpace. Well.... uhhh.... Damn.
Bottom line its not okay to terrorize a kid online because your kid had a fight with him or her. If they're so pathetic as to not be adults and handle it as such then they shouldn't be allowed to... well... DO ANYTHING!!
First and foremost I have to give my opinion and give facts in my own words. But This is so flipping crazy!
So there was a girl, Megan Meier, and she had a good friend who lived down the street form her. Apparently, Megan's friend's parents heard that they were in the middle of a quarrel. So them, being the parents of the year( that was sarcasm), wanted to do something to snipe at the offender. So they also being geniuses decide to make a fake name on myspace. "But trying on identities is, in the fluid environment of the Internet, a riskier experiment than raiding mom's makeup bag." (pg.1; Annals of Crime) The fact of the matter is that I hate parents that can't pick on their own kids and cause shit like this!

Avenged Sevenfold!!

Disorderly Conduct
By: Jenny Eliscu

For the record i love this band and the first time I heard them was on MTV. That song was Beast And The Harlot.
Anyways they are a band out of Huntington Beach, CA. At first they were a group of four. It was Zacky Vengeance, Matt Shadows, The Rev( Formerly The Reverend Theolomew Plauge), and Demon Ash( replaced by Johnny Christ). Then Demon Ash had to leave and Avenged was on tour so then Johnny stepped in. that was for Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. The first time. The version that i have is the one that Synyster Gates was on.. at least the first track... At this point thy're a group of five. Johnny, Matt, The Rev, Zacky, and Syn. So Johnny wasn't on the bill yet. and eventually he won them over or something happened, and he's the permenent bassist. So around this time Waking the Fallen was taking form in matt's mind. Their first (and only) REAL hit was Unholy Confessions. So that CD was a huge sucess! that's when Warner Bros. Records was starting to look at them. Then came City of Evil. And then i became a fan with Beast and the Harlot. Now they have their self titled and self produced album out.
Good stuff!

Wireless Technology

What is Wireless Technology?

Wireless Technology Changing Work And Play
By: Jason White; CNN

The main focus of both articles is the fact humans have become relyant on wireless technology to entertain, communicate, and do their work. The CNN article focuses on one man's thriving job- and his dissatisfaction with his life. The definition of wireless tech though is what you think it is tech to go. While its nothing like McDonald's it is portable. Not like the computer that I used to type this post. As with anything we (as humans) come up with there are limitations to what we can and cannot do. In the Cites article, they tell you straight up what the f*** wireless tech is. My own example would be the iPhone. Its a cell phone, an iPod, and a computer McDonald's style. That is To Go. the best part is that you can use them all you want and not gain weight! Awesome! Now the bad part- drawbacks. Wireless Networks aren't a natural thing. Meaning that the Wireless internet that you may or may not use on your laptop has its restrictions too. like if it gets too far from the provider then it gets slower. That's a drag, non pas? But you can take it anywhere. A definite bonus. S the question i have is: Efficenent or Portable?

Insourcing

What is Insourcing?
By: Whatis.TechTarget.com

Insourcing is as the name suggests, the opposite of out sourcing. Another way of putting it would be contracting in. Normally a company would make a contract outside of itself. I.E. if Apple gave Google a contract saying that Google could upload music to a page and include it in their music page. But Google would give Apple fifty percent of its revenues from tracks downloaded from that particular page. However if Apple decided to say... give the contract to the branch of their own company I.E the part that handles the webpages. Then the main part of the company could take a part of the profits and let the branch use the rest to improve and repair the system.
