The only other right way to organize your computer is by using folders. You can bring a category of things that you want together in a folder. You can put the folder on the home screen of your computer so you go straight to the folder as soon as the computer turns on.

• Sprint has fallen to last on consumer reports list 

• "We've asked customers during the past year to 'pardon our dust' as we build out and upgrade our network," Sprint said in a statement. "We're working to deliver an advanced wireless network that we believe over time will deliver unmatched speed and performance to our customers."

• The rankings, released Thursday, were based on a survey of 58,399 wireless subscribers.

• So will they be able to come back from this colossal downfall? Only time will tell

Gandhi do now

Gandhi cared about the world and the people on it. He understood that the world needed people. He didn't care about what people looked like, who they were, or what they did. Everyone is equal and thats what ignites me. When people aren't treated equally then i get upset and do something.

Typhoon

I feel horrible about the situation in the Philippines. These people need to be evacuated and sent to safety. We need to donate to the red cross so they can go over their and help them. They are helpless right now and need to be rescued. We know how they feel so we should help them like we got help.

Wiki post

1. You can see how other people think about the topic and get other opinions.
2. Get a combined opinion of a wide range of people.
3. We can create a page and express our opinions on technology and we can form a big opinion form our class.
4. No experience.

             If i could be invisible for a day to do a good deed i would beat up bullies. Bulling is a big problem around the globe and need to be stopped. When people bully they don't realize how much damage they do to the victim. That is why i would beat up all of the bullies.
           I would go to a bunch of schools and see the bullies. Then I would take them out of school and teach them a lesson. The victims don't deserve the pain and suffering they get just because they are different. People need to be much more peaceful and realize that no one is perfect. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Tech talk "Leg"

Craig Hutto lost his right leg in a shark attack when he was 16 years old.

He survived but lost his leg in the attack.

Soon after that he became one of the first people to test out a new prosthetic leg created at Vanderbilt University.

This mechanism creates a more natural stride and allows users to do things that are not possible with normal prosthesis, such as run or go up and down steps and inclines in a natural way.

Although the whole thing is not worked yet they are considering manufacturing them shortly.

My favorite class

             My favorite class this year is Mr. Porfidos 3rd period T.V. production class. This class is about the communication field. We learn from our teacher Dave Porfido. Mr. Porfido is in his 9th year as an instructor at Wood-Ridge High School. Prior to assuming his current position, Mr. Porfido worked in the private sector for a software company. When he isn't working, Mr. Porfido enjoys playing & teaching golf, sports, reading, the beach, and his family.                                                                              
       

           He resides with his wife and 2 daughters. Mr. Porfido completed his undergraduate studies at Jersey City State University and earned his Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Saint Peters College. Mr. Porfido and I will go golfing before the year ends. He is a great mentor. Mr. Porfido is very knowledgeable in this subject and knows the ins and outs of communications.

             This class is about getting to know computers and technology. In todays world technology is huge and needs to be learned by everyone.This is a class that we will use the things we learn in the outside world. This class is a lot of fun and Mr. Porfido is the best teacher in the school.
