PC users

Just recently I have viewed the "I'm a PC" commercial and I think it is great. Being a PC user, I was constantly on the low with all the MAC commercials, I felt that PCs were getting degraded time and time again. With all the celebrities in this commercial I think its safe to say that this commercial is a success because it is targeting all types of people. I love how it goes on to the stereotypes of a PC user although i really don't think there was any to begin with. Either way, its a great commercial and definitely puts it message across that MAC isn't trendy anymore.

Wikis

Because our wonderful technology is ever changing and adaptable to pretty much anything, it becomes a little difficult to keep up with the new stuff being introduced every so often. Just recently I began to work on a wiki for a class and although it is quite easy to work with, I can't help but wonder how easily accessible it is to others who don't have it. For those who don't know what it is, a wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit web page content using a web browser. So its obvious to see that it is a very beneficial tool to use for any type of work environment. However, how does one look for a specific wiki or search for a wiki that may or may not be on the web?...

Bad Day




For most football fans, especially followers of UT, Vince Young's performance this past week has put everybody on edge. In college he was known as the MVP of the Rose Bowl and perhaps the greatest quaterback of his time. With his rise in fame and his draft to the Titans, expectations of his great success grew heavier and even more complicated. Although he may have had a rough game this past week, he is still human and trying to cope with his bad game. After fans "booed" him off the field, I would assume the amount of pressure this man is going through and can't help but want to be alone and think about his mistakes. While coaches proceeded in calling authorities to check up on him the following days that proceeded, Young appeared to be fine and just down in the dumps. In a recent article from Fox sports news, they bash Young's performance with two interceptions and claims that he is simply not cut out for such a big job. If you look at other quarterback's records, Young is considered to be one of the top qbs. Matt Leinhart didn't do so well his rookie year, Tom Brady wasn't so good either his first couple of years, so what's the deal with Young? Why the harsh criticism? Everyone has a bad day every once and a while, so leave the man alone...Thanks to such criticism from the press we can see how truly valuable he is to his team.
