Amazon and eBay brawl over Web sales tax

  • Click Here!!!!!!! For spam!
  • On Wednesday, during a congressional hearing the two fought about whether states should collect sales tax on Internet purchases
  • Cnn.com says " EBay's stance is that tougher sales tax collection laws would hurt the small merchants that use its sales platform"
  • To this Amazon said that Ebay was hardly a small buisness
  • Though Ebay is not the one that would be paying all of this, It's the subscibers
  • If anything this would hurt Ebay more then it would hurt Amazon and it would cause more to go to Amazon
  • In my opinion I don't think that we should have this because we already have to pay a lot for shipping and original price 
  • Though there are somethings that are better found on Ebay then On Amazon like cars and such but with Amazon you can get newer stuff
  • Video :D!

Android crushed the smartphone competition last quarter

  • CLICK ME FOR FUN STUFF :D 
  • Android has brought up it's game and has is now the top dog
  • Symbian, another competitor in this race, has been destroyed in this race
  • Android OS  now leads the pack with 52.5% of the global market store
  • Two major factors lead to the decline of Apple's iPhone: Rumors of a new iPhone and price cuts for older models, both never happened
  • While Apple is falling behind in new models, Android has a huge selection of phones to pick from
  • Though iOs believes it will begin a massive counter-attack that will sweep the enemy away for awhile
  • though the iPhone seems cool I feel that I would rather want a Android

What I learned in boating school is!

In the first Semester I took Web 2.0. I learned a lot from this class in the first marking period. From tech articles to videos we have watched in class I have learned that world is becoming 1) more dependent on electric devices today. 2) that these also make the world go faster. I have also learned how many websites in this world that were used for entertainment can help you in school. An example, of this is Voki.

What I did this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All I did this was play video games and do a project. I managed to FINALLY beat Black Ops. I did Really bad in this one game that I play called R.U.S.E. Then I started a massive campaign to take out this bulge the Germans have made in my lines in another game called HEARTS OF IRON 3. The part of the game I am talking about now though is when I am playing as the Russians between February 1, 1943 and then to 1948. I start at 1943 for the Russians because it's after the battle of Stalingrad. I am now trying to push the Germans out. Will I succeed? I don't know, I hope I do because I have to win World War 2 on the Eastern Front by June 6, because if I don't then the Allies will have a harder time to land in the West and we will not win fast enough before the Germans get the weapons that will change the war.

It's Nook vs. Kindle: Round II

click here for article

  • Barnes and Nobles is not afraid of Amazon.
  • Round 1 was between the original Kindle and the original Nook.
  • Next week the second battle, however, will begin between the Kindle Fire, and the Nook
  • The battle will only be over after the holiday season and everyone has received their tablet
  • You see the thing is that the Kindle is $50 less and the Nook has more storage and battery life
  • For me this battle has little effect because I already have a Kindle
  • I also like that the Kindle has no glare and that Kindle tried to but a screen that can't have glare.
