I picked slashdot.org because...well...slashdot is for NERDS! GEEKS!!! Someone who might be in the Computer Information Technology learning community! LIKE ME! On a more serious note though, I picked slashdot because it involves people like the CIT learning community. We are nerds/geeks we know it, and love it. Slashdot is composed of authors that are IT gurus and love to talk about as what there title says, 'news that matters' which is straight and to the point.\n\nLike any good nerd we like to put in our two cents. Slashdot added a message board to reply to any post the authors make. The articles composed by Slashdot will always involve technology in someway. Whether it's a post on the internet's birthday or a post about how red hat enterprise linux 5.4 has been released. Slashdot has posts to the point for people like "us". Its not filled with clutter or garbage about stupid news about Jon and Kate + 43000, its news that MATTERS. Simple as that.\n

Thursday is a big day for Windows users. Microsoft is finally making Windows 7 publicly available, and i think it is a very much needed step for geeks. It is the upgrade XP users has been waiting for. The reason i think that this concerns us as tech geeks is that the majority of people will be running this operating system in the next few years. All laptops will be equipped with it and so will most of the desk tops. This article includes things that you might want to know about the new operating system.

This article is a very interesting one for the computer geeks of the world and maybe even for government. Google is wanting to map out the inside of businesses and large buildings so that you can no only find your way to the building but the nearest door and which stair case to take and which hallway to turn down. Google is starting a new generation of maps online.   Government on the other hand might not like this. If you map out the inside of the building isn't that making it more accessible to terrorists to plan an attack or for thieves to plan and escape after a jewelry heist? Where will google go from there? Could this turn into and invasion of privacy?   What this means to the CIT majors is that almost anything is possible. If google can map out the indoors what is to stop us from doing anything? The sky.... The basement is our limit.

This is a follow up article on my previous diigo post. This one shows how well the game actually did. For us computer geeks this is a big deal. This game is predicted to become the most successful game to ever hit the market. If we can learn something from this we can be successful too. The reason i think that they sold 7 million copies world-wide is because of the previous game CoD4. Not to mention that they had game stop hosting release parties and that there was a huge party in New York for its release. This could be the biggest game of the century, lets make sure you get in on it.
