Tech Article 1/30: Apple Watch

Apple CEO Tim Cook announces that the Apple Watch will be released sometime in April the starting price will be $349. He also stated, Developers are hard at work on apps, notifications and information summaries that we call Glances, all designed specifically for the Watch's user interface.” 

There will be three models: Watch, Watch Sport, and Watch Edition.

The Apple Watch will include an Activity app that will be able to track calories burned. It will also have a Work app that will be able to set up pacing for running/cycling and a built in heart race sensor. Also Apple Pay can be used on the watch too. Apple stated, "Double‑click the button next to the Digital Crown and...a pulse and beep confirm that your payment information was sent," 

The only downside can be that the iPhone acts as an anchor for the watch.

Nintendo Wii U

The Nintendo Wii U controller includes a second screen on it. So you can see both the screen on the TV and the screen on the controller. But the screen on the controller is 6-2 inches of touch screen. The second screen provides both TV supplement and replacement. Also it displays maps, objects, and other things. I find that this is very cool and I hope Nintendo makes a great success in this project.   

Do Now~!! aka Do Period

I keep my computer organized in a hierarchical system. So I have a folder inside a folder kind of thing. In my document folder I have a folder for school and inside that folder I separate it by class. That is the same for my photos. I have a folder for pictures which is organized by date. So every month as it's own folder. 


Social bookmarking is a method on the internet for internet users to organize, store, and search for bookmarks. Twitter is an example of social bookmarking site. Tagging is non hierarchical. It is a term assigned to a piece of information (information like bookmarking). An example is when you tag someone in a photo on Facebook.

Review: Android takes big leap with Galaxy Nexus

The Galaxy Nexus is a Smartphone that just arrived in Verizon. The Smartphone has been out for weeks in Britain. The difference between the UK and the US version is that the UK version uses Google Wallet but the US version doesn't. It also is the first android phone to run Android 4.0 also known as the Ice Cream Sandwich. The Android 4.0 was created by Google and Samsung. Something that Google has changed that will make a small yet big difference is that they took out the hardware buttons bellow the screen. Now these buttons are touch screen.

Weekend/First Marking Period Reflection

My Weekend:
My weekend was pretty boring. I didn't do much. I had to babysit.But I was aloud to hang out with my friends.I also don't have internet or cable so my weekend was really boring. haha >.< I was also supposed to go to the football game Saturday with my friends. But I ended up not going. I didn't really do much. I guess the highlight of my weekend was walking around the trailer park with my friend and Alex. Or you can say the one hour phone call with Jeremy was my highlight of this weekend >.< Yeah my weekend was really really boring. I don't even know how I survived. 

My Reflection on Last Marking Period:
Well I guess Web 2.0 wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. To keep your grade up wasn't hard unless you don't do your homework. But over all it was a pretty great class. One that I actually look forward for. :D not like other classes that I wish would end really really fast...
But still Web 2.0 is one of my favorite class right next to History. In Web 2.0 we did many things. Like surveys, voki, web articles, and other things. Yeah I didn't do much of my tech articles but i did most of them >.< Overall Web 2.0 is a great class where I learn more about technology!  :D
