Barnes and Noble's New ultra-light nook GlowLight e-reader

• This is a completely redesigned Nook GlowLight e-reader.
• This product was announced just weeks after the Kindle Paperwhite e-reader.
• It features an updated 6 inch display with 62% more pixels than it's previous model.
• Barnes and Noble also increased the LED light source just below the bottom edge of the screen. 
• The only thing similar the GlowLight has to the Paperwhite is that the shape is basically the same. 
• The color is a basic white with a curved power/sleep button on the back. 
• The GlowLight weighs only 6.2 ounces which is amazing because of it's capability.

Wiki Research


  1. A wiki can be used in my current class like World History. For example if we learn about George Washington I can use his wiki to learn more about his life and people in his life, Or in Biology we can learn more about Issac Newton. 
  2. The benefits of using a wiki could be to learn about the people and places that these people have met and seen.
  3. We can create a wiki on whatever we enjoy and can utilize it on the class and get a god output from our peers. 
  4. I have experience creating my own wiki's because I have done it for two years now.

Invisibility

     If I was invisible for one day I would help a lot of people cross the crowded streets of NYC. More and more people build up at the street corners and wait to be crossed but never do. I will run the street lights so the cars and the people can have an equal amount of time to cross the street. Many jobs will be saved since most people are running late or going out for coffee runs. This would be a very good deed for many people.

I would do this by getting inside the police station. Going to the monitor room, and pressing the buttons to cause the lights to go on and off. If a police officer comes into the room I would let go of the buttons so he would not notice me in there. This would help a lot of people get where they are going. This is a good dedd that  would never get noticed for.

The New iPad Air

The new iPad is now so much thinner and lighter and seemingly faster like all of the other devices that they have tweaked. There was no fingerprint scanner or a new camera upgrade that came with the new 5S. The new $499 dollar iPad is now named the iPad air which comes after the iPad mini. When apple presented the iPad it could hide behind a no. 2 pencil. It has a 64-bit A7 processor which is the same chip as the 5S. This is a nice table but it is unusual to not have the fingerprint scanner. To see the full article click here.

BIGGEST GOOGLE UPDATE IN 3 YEARS


       Google has now advanced their technology to support the surfers very complex questions. This update was called the hummingbird because it was very quiet and it happened at a very fast time. According to Amit Singhal this redesign will affect the analysis of about 90% of the searches Google gets. Every two out of three questions that are asked on the internet in the USA are asked on Google. But Google gets even more in Europe. Google's revenue is expected to reach 60 billion dollars this year. Humming bird is primarily aimed at giving Google's search engine a better grasp at understanding concepts instead of mere words, Singhal said. For more information from the real article click here.
