» How Apple Would Reinvent Your Big-Screen TV - 0 views

  •  
    Apple having their own line of Big screen TV's would be very interesting to see because apple is very good at connecting their devices such as the ipod the iphone the macs and the ipad. Adding an apple big screen TV would be very cool especially with the new icloud application that syncs all of your apple devices together. Having your TV synced with you ipod would make listening to music controllable from the TV and adding Siri to the TV would aslo be a very nice added luxury to have.

Would Anybody Else Upload Their Consciousness to the Internet? [Just Me?] - 0 views

  •  
    As seen in the popular show "The Big Bang Theory" when Sheldon attempts to preserve himself long enough so that he could move his entire consciousness to a machine in the future. Ideas arise about if this could be possible and if so, how? These questions can not be answered for sure at this point in time but it definitely seems like a possibility with the ever growth of new technology. I can't think of a reason of why this wouldn't be possible.

Japan's Ministry of Defense develops spherical drone - 0 views

  •  
    This drone is quite impressive because not only can this drone fly it is able to adapt to many obstacles that it may encounter such as being hit by something, in which case the drone would still be able to absorb the impact and continue flying. The drone also has the ability to move vertically and horizontally at speeds up to 60 mph. I find this drone incredible, and something that may lead to the future of our armed forces.

    Jersey Shore's very own Mike "The Situation" foolishly thought he could cut in line to buy the newest apple device and instead was kicked out of the store. Mike's personality on the shore doesn't seem to be much different from his real life as shown by this act he is cocky, and thinks way too much of himself.

Crime Predicting Software - 0 views

  •  
    A researcher at Santa Clara University has developed a software that is used to predict locations of crimes before they actually happen. The software uses locations of previous crimes to predict areas where crimes will happen. I think that this software could be very useful because even just having police around places that crimes may occur would stop criminals from committing them. The soft has been correct 25% of the time on locations of crimes which is truly astounding because that means that there is that much more of a chance that the criminals will be caught

    An example of how the demand for apple's products is constantly growing. Any upcoming apple product is always highly anticipated however this is more than ever, because in past years the market has always demanded the Iphone and all of the great features that come along with it and that pattern seems to continue and grow larger and larger every time a new model of the Iphone is released.  It also states in this article that Sprint will be introducing the Iphone 5 with an unlimited data plan available for purchase. Although the article does not state the monthly rate of this plan I would assume it will be quite expensive.
