Phone Companies: 1,2,3 Fight!!

Im sure people have seen commercials of At&t vs. Verizon fighting one another.  I have found the commercials funny and entertaining.  But one of the questions I have asked myself, where is the other major company in the war-Sprint . When I watch t.v I don’t really notice many commercials for Sprint.  It is an excellent company and I have Sprint which I have had for almost 6 years.  Sprint has excellent reception everywhere I go,has good plans, and the customer service has been good to me, and last but not least it’s is cheaper then the other three major companies. Maybe Sprint is letting Verizon and At&t take each other out, and then they will make their move.  Last year, Sprint Realeased their first Android phone, The HTC-Hero, which was a much anticipated phone for Sprint users, was realeased last year.  I as well as other people applaud this move because some people are switching over to other companies from Sprint because they didn’t have and Android phones,but now they do.  This move saved Sprint thousands of customers from leaving.

Murderer of an abortion Doctor found Guilty

Today, Scott Roeder was found guilty for the murder of an abortion doctor George R. Tiller. It didn’t take long for the jury to decide there verdict.  When the jury read their verdict, Mr. Roeder had a straight face and didnt seem to show much emotion. Mr. Roeder pleaded guilty to the murder of Mr. Tiller, but thought that if he didnt kill Tiller then he would keep killing babies.  This is more then just a murder case, but also a case that deals with abortion.  Outside the courthouse, were people who supported Mr. Roeder and applauded him for what he had done.  Some of the signs outside said:(NY Times Site).

Mr. Roeder said that he had planned to kill him 10 years earlier or just cut his hands of so he wouldn’t be able to perform abortions.  He also stated that a year before he actually killed the doctor, he sat in the church with a gun, but Mr. Tiller wasn’t present at the

New York Times Site makes a Stupid Move!

 Today, The New York Times annouced that they will start charging for content on its site to users. Users can view few articles before they are asked to pay to continue viewing. This could be a terrible move on NYT part because there are many people who won’t pay for the content.  People will just move on to other sources like the L.A Times, Washington Post and others that have about the same headlines for free. In the past there have been papers that have tried to charge users to read their content but it had no success. What makes you think this will? I believe the only way people will start paying for content is to have all major newspaper sites to start charging as well.  If one doesn’t charge for its online content, then this will surely not succeed as people would rather get something for free then to pay for it. However, there are a few users who will gladly pay for the content:

I’ll pay to read the NY Times, you’ll never get a dime from me to read Plashke destroy the English language or Steve Lopez write another cornball fell-good story. And you wonder why your newspaper is dying? Just go for the Pulitzers, Baltimore.  (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/comments_blog/2010/01/new-york-times-to-charge-frequent-users-of-its-site.html)

Space Meets Cyberspace

According to yahoo.com , astronauts finally have internet in space.  Before this came about they already ” had an Internet Protocol phone for private calls to family and friends.”  Astronauts have been waiting for this for quite awhile now because being in space is quite a long state of isolation. Being in space long can surely be lonesome and boring at times.  Today astronaut Timothy Creamer, posted the first twitt from space, “Hello Twitterverse!” he wrote. “We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! More soon, send your ?s” I know I get distracted if I had Internet, and some people think the astronauts will get distracted to, but NASA doesnt think they will though. NASA says that they are professionals ”so they’re going to get their work done first.” Internet in Space will be great because they will now be able to talk to family and friends and also report if something happens.
