Two Articles on Cnn
The first article that I've read was ''Spider-Man 3': Biggest weekend ever'' the article talks about how Spider Man 3 movie premiere was the biggest weekend ever, and that it sold 373 million worth of weekends tickets. Also, the article talks about how in Spider Man 3 he changed the costume from red to black. Spider Man 3 is the highest opening since Star Wars: Episode 3, his nerdy side must also fight to keep Mary Jane.
The second article that i read was ''Gas prices hit record high'' its talks about how the gas prices has reach up to $3.07 reported Sunday. In the time of March 1981 the article states that gas prices was as lower than $1.35, which is over ten years ago. The prices of gas now is 12 cents higher that what it normally was last year. In cities right now Memphis has the cheapest gas, and Chicago has the highest

Terms
1)Blog-I think that it would be relevant to both a small and large business because everyone should have a blog so that they can write down what they think about websites, and other businesses.
2)Web Site- This should also be use for both corporations because another business always want to look at another business website to see what there competition is.
3)FTP- This should definitely be used for both businesses, because FTP is used for sending files across the Internet, but mostly large businesses used FTP.
4)HTTP-I think this should be used only for a small business because it is so small and it don't have much to go on, so they can used HTTP to send them information across the Internet.
5)Web services-Both businesses should used this because it can help them with information that they will probably need.
6)Podcast-I think that this should be used for a large corporation because they can use the videos to attract people to work with them instead.
7)RSS feeds-I think that this should be used for both because this way you don't have to physically go get the information, it would be send to you which would make things faster and easier.
8)VOIP-I would have to say both business because you can talk to people over the Internet therefore people won't know how big or small your business is until they come in, so you could basically tell them what they want to here.
9)Web mail- Both business need to used this because everyone need to check there mail once and a while.
10)Web browser: FireFox vs. Internet Explorer- Internet, because it is worldwide, and most people don't know what FireFox is.

More Video Games in School Summary
This article mainly talks about how students will enjoy to attend school after the Indiana University are developing games to put into our schools. It also talks about what types of video games and their themes that they are putting in the school, one women says she limits her son to six hours a weeks on video games. My opinion about this is that this is a dumb idea because students will not focus on their work.

Favorite Movie ''Ray''
My favorite movie was ''Ray'' because it took so long for Jamie Foxx to play such an important role, and for him to keep his eyes shut for over days and hours, he deserve an award. The movie was mainly about a blind singer that was doing herion, and always suffered from his brother death because he felt it was his fault. I mean if we would have known CPR back then hid brother probably would still be alive today. This movie is the life of Ray Charles, and the only Ray Charles Robinson.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0350258/

How can a system be designed so students care more for learning?
-I think that the school board should fire the teachers that are elderly because alot have change since they was in school. Also, because the teachers are teaching us the same thing, because, I'm still learning the same thing from Elementary, I mean I'm still learning Mean, Median, and Mode in Algebra1 Honors. Another thing that I think will help us learn more is if the school should not make us pay for certain books, because some students does not have the money to buy the book and they miss out on a lot of work without those particular books.
