The pictures that Malia made using different aspects of Google were pretty cool. I agree with some of the comments that people were making regarding the pictures especially with the guy who said Google should have these blown up and hung around the office. I don't feel that the Kanye story and his apology were very sympathetic. I love Kanye and think he's a sick rapper with good beats and tights verses and is always bringing something new to the rap game, but he is one of the most arrogant people ever and everyone knows that. I feel like he might have just been bringing that up to get a little attention for himself. Either way its good he "feels bad". I believe that putting an ap for newspapers on a smart phone or ipad would be a really good idea. I think a lot of people would benefit from it and really take advantage of it. It's more convenient than carrying around the real thing or having to sit at a computer to read.

Why would Mayer delete his twitter acount with that many follows. All his fans want to know what hes up to and hear about what hes working on that was an easy way for them to do that. I found the robbery article kinda funny actually. Who would be dumb enough to leave messages saying when they aren't going to be home. They probably should have something taken from them for being that dumb. Use your privacy settings and don't even talk about being home or gone. The who said it game sounds kind of funny but it is basically just asking you to judge somebody like the article says. I don't think I'd every really play it very often.

The guidebook for Twitter users is ridiculous, I had no idea what half of the stuff was or that it even existed so I guess it's a good thing that they do have a guidebook to use for people like me who don't know a ton about the social network. Speaking of Twitter I think its crazy that 3% of the content on the site or tweets and retweets have to do with Justin Beiber. Apparently everyone really does have Beiber fever, although he just doesn't quite seem to do it for me.. All his songs kind of sound the same and seem to be about the same stuff. I guess you have to be a teenage girl to understand? I also thought the article on Zuckerberg  was kind of funny and I could see those geniuses having all kinds of little games and pranks that they pull off through the Website. I like that Angry Birds is getting some love, I have it on my ipod touch and play it all the time, hopefully they'll get the bugs worked out for the people trying to play it on their Android smart phones.
