    This article deals with frozen foods. It connects with the discussion we have had about fast food and home cooked meals. This article lists reasons why frozen foods can taste better than fresh produce, and why frozen foods can be more healthy for you. All in all, this article makes a pretty good argument as to why you should drop the fast food you are eating and make a nice healthy home cooked meal.

DailyTech - Security Researchers Use Digital Ants to Battle Computer Worms - 0 views

  •  
    This article details a new type of anti virus software currently being developed at Wake Forest University. The software uses small crawler programs called ants to identify worms so administrators can tackle the problem. This is relevant to CIT in that when we graduate we may be using this type of software as network admins. i like the fact that the programs are smaller than your normal antivirus software, and dont have to be loaded onto every computer. a single program can take care of an entire network.

DailyTech - Twitter Changes Terms of Service to Allow Ads - 0 views

Some companies spend more on online advertising than all other forms of advertising combined.

Some new technologies even scan your personal page allowing websites to better fit advertisements to your tastes and hobbies.

    This site gives some great examples of how images can convey messages, and even arguments. this correlates with the image rhetoric reading we did from the owl web site. reading through i found it interesting how much i realized i am influenced through images on a daily basis. This site altered my perceptions of advertisements and propaganda. I see now that the two are more related than they are different.
