In this article, Rob Beschizza examines how many medals each country in the olympics has per 10 million people living in that country. Canada has only 4 medals per 10 million people whereas Norway holds 27.9 medals per 10 million people. This graph shows a new way of calculating who has the most medals. Rob Beschizza has a career in writing articles for the site: BoingBoing, and each Olympian has a career in their favourite sport.

Missed the mark here. The intention was to post something related to Careers in Computing.

This article is about a new spy plane that costs $195,000 and fits in the palm of your hand. Now the British soldiers will be a bit safer thanks to this little plane and it flies nearly silently. Prox Dynamics of Norway designed this little plane and it is only 4 inches long and 1 inch tall. This plane can provide videos to the soldiers hand from up to 1000 meters away. It has been used in Afghanistan since August of 2012 and has impressed so far. It is also very hard so see or hear. This article relates to the selected tag because it impacts the lives of both the locals and the military. It affects the locals because they do not have much privacy and security anymore due to this new spy plane. This is unethical and illegal because people want their privacy and if people are spying on them daily they are not secure. Even though it is unethical to do this I think that it would be much safer for most people to use this new plane. The only thing I do not understand is why the plane costs so much and if they will be able to reduce the price.
