On Wednesday this past week I bet a lot of tumblr users were a bit scared of what was happening on their dashboard. First there was a link that said what was going on. That there was a law that was being discussed about censorship. This law is to have less chance of something being posted with out copyright. A lot of people take pictures as their own and it's unfair to the people that worked hard on making the post. In order to get their word around they censored your dashboard. But unlike a few people, once i refreshed the page it was back to normal. Tumblr as of right now is back to normal with no changes.

My weekend and reflection on the 1st marking period

Over the weekend I hung out with my friends around town. Wednesday night I went to the WR .vs. HH freshman game. We lost unfortunately (but i knew we were). On Saturday night I went to the movies to see the new movie Jack and Jill. It was really funny and my friends and i loved it. On Sunday i didn't do much. Towards the end of the day I hung out with friends. It was a fun weekend even though i didn't go or do much.

MP1 reflection: This marking period i did pretty good i think. In this class the last time i checked i had an A- which is great! In the beginning I had a B- and i didn't like that especially  in the first 2 weeks of school but i brought it up a while letter grade. I learned how to use a Gmail account and it helped so much because we use it a lot. I was used to printing papers out but now its all through the internet and this class really helps.

Remember when Google, Yahoo and other websites wanted to buy Facebook? Well those days are over. Facebook is now too big to buy. The website can still be bought for about 15 billion dollars. In july there were over 500 million active users on Facebook. In my opinion i think facebook should stay the way it is and not be owned by any other website.

Since the new Iphone Siri has launched the same question has been asked more than a few times. The question is "Why is the voice, a female?" The answer is because a female voice is easier to find that speaks clear and everyone likes verse a male's voice. This probably is because navigators in WW2 were female and telephone operators were female. But when female voices were put into cars costumers liked the female voice much better. to read the full article click here.
