WTF? 42 days of constant oil leakage.............and only one attempt to fix the problem? This is outrageous that between 12,000 to 19,000 barrels of oil is being leaked into the water DESTROYING the enviorment for plants, animals, and humans. It makes me sick that there "top Kill" FAILED! and they are SOON going to try something else. I have no appropriate words to express my frustration with the whole thing. I not trying to sound like a big enviromentalist hippy but this is a serious issue and my personal belief is after this incident off shore drilling should be banned to avoid another accident where we take 42 days, 1 attempt and another idea "Coming Soon" for such a serious disaster.

3D TV's future of television? or Just the latest Fad?
Are 3D tvs actually the future of televisions? Persionally I think its really a waste of money to throw in the extra feature that I will use only a few times. We have seen 3D before in past movies (ex. Spy kids 3D) but 3D has never really caught on until Avatar and its new 3D technology but you still have to wear the silly glasses. Now they have brought that 3D technology to tvs but there is still the problem with the glasses which I believe really holds the technology back. 3D is also hitting the handheld video game console with the confirmed Nintendo 3DS.
Unless they further the technology were we dont have to use the glasses I think it will just be a fad that the consumer will fall into for the next few months.

Bungie joins up with Activision
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3179047
I think Bungie joining up with activision was a terrible idea for Bungie. Activision has been sucking most of its top franchies dry such as Guitar hero and Call of Duty. Activision royaly screwed over Infinity Ward as they are still fighting for their royalties from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Overall I think Bungie made a mistake joining Activision on a 10 year contract but I guess we'll just have to wait and see where it goes.

I think this is a good thing for Jason and Vince will be able to move on from the Call of Duty series and work on their own ideas and new games. I hope to see some quality fps games and possibly different genre of games.

Key concept #6
I think highschool fro kids in the future won't be in class rooms or schools but from home were you and your classmates will see the teacher through holographic imaging and and voice chatting were all the classmates can hear other students ask questions when the teacher asks them. Notes will be automatically be recorded in computers and the pen and paper will become obselete.
Key concept # 4
Is it worth it? What do they get for their $3 mill?
I believe it is worth it not only do they advertise during one of televisons and sports biggest events for millons of veiwers to see but they also make huge profits after the event. The ads usally displayed may be food or beverages and if your watching the big game and you run out of chips or drinks and you see that doritos or coke commercial come on you may think to your self man i could go for one of those or a bag of those right now and it makes your crave that prodcut almost cause it caught you at a vunerable point when you were hungry or thirsty.

Key Concept #2
What effect do these media created 'versions' of reality have on society?
It will lead people to believe thats how certain things work and they will try to munipulate what happened in the show and may end up hurting others or themselves. People can tell the difference because the things showed seem so real and authentic due to actors and the further improvments in Computer animation. Another example of this would be gaming, everyday visuals for these games are improving making cars, weapons, buildings, scenery almost real.
