voki wednesdays 1.5

technology these days samsung

samsung is a company that makes computers phones tvs refrigerators and much more

as you probably know samsung released the best selling android phone a few months ago. the samsung galaxy s3 .personaly i find it a lot better than the iphone
i also like the "tec tiles" but they pretty much do the same thing as qr codes
the s3 has a nice display with vivid colors
it is good because it has 4g lte
voice control beats siri
awesome picture in everything
s beam is beast

the chrome books and chrome boxes are pretty fast but need more hard drive space

the galaxy notes are pretty good but the display is way to big for a phone
the galaxy note 10.1 is cool about equivilant with the i pad
i like the s pen

i love samsungs smart 3d hd blue ray players
they are so thin

the samsung smart tvs are a lot better than other tvs on the market
my favorite tv is the Samsung New 55" Class (54.6" Diag.) LED 7500 Series Smart TV

i want a home theater system in my house.

New Home Theater System with Vacuum Tube & Digital Amp (HT-E6730W) is pretty nice

the samsung cameras are not very popular because they are not that good
a really nice feature is that they are wifi enabled so you can share photos fairly easily

the laptops that samsung makes are really powerfel but slim and stylish i like the series 9 

the all in one desktops are nice . a good feature they have is that they can fold flat so many usb ports(6)

the moniters are relly good i am looking forward to buy a 3d one they design is realy strange 

this is all because i dont have enough time to write about the printers and home appliences
if you want more info check out the samsung website in the noteworthy website section
next week i will be talking about paper 53

Blog Name Change?

Hello there!
If you know us personally, you may have been asked about changing the name of the blog. Since we're going to create a Twitter, maybe a RSS feed, and possibly other stuff that needs the blog's name, we need to decide on a blog name. And you get to help!

So here are the choices...
1. Why Not? -- Keep it the same. It's not a bad blog name, just not very creative. Plus, I have trouble coming up with some sort of logo for it. We might have a logo contest if you vote for this.

2. Circle Eleven-- Inspired by a drawing game which was inspired by GM's student number a couple years a go. Her number was, you guessed it, 11. When circled, it resmemble's a pig's nose. Go ahead. Get a sheet of paper, write 11, circle it, and you have a pig's nose! I think it would make a nice logo.

3. Furry Dragons (or something like that)-- If you know GM, you probably know GM loves dragons and says "Furry dragons are cute!" a lot. The logo would probably be some type of dragon.

4. Notta-- Derived from the words "not a," it's a humorous approach. You know, Notta blog sounds a lot like "not a blog." I have a few ideas for he logo, but none are really good. If you vote for this one we'll probably have a logo contest or something.

5. Well, we don't have another one  yet. If you have a suggestion not listed above, please comment by Monday. Monday night, we'll put up a poll for you to vote for onw of our choices along with any of your suggestions, if we get any.

Thanks for reading! Comment if you have a suggestion. Poll will be put up Monday night. Remember to vote!

 

Musical Mondays #1.5

Sorry guys, but the next Musical Monday might be a little late. I'm pretty busy with homework and other things.  Also, I haven't decided on which lyrics to use yet, so comment if you have a suggestion!

♪ Musical Mondays #1 ♫

I'm starting Musical Mondays where I post the lyrics of some song and take them literally and add pictures for them. These will be posted every Monday or so. Enjoy!

For our first Musical Monday, I chose One Thing by One Direction. Sorry if you don't like their music.

Technology These Days- apple

apple is a horrible company all they do is go around suing companies for patent right to get millions and billions of dollars.
as many of you know a couple of weeks ago apple released some stuff the iPhone 5 is pretty much the same thing as the 4s. it is taller but not wider which is a horrible idea. a 16:9 ratio is horrible by the the time we get to i phone 10 the screen will by 10 feet tall but 4 inches wide. also the camera is better because the added a sapphire lens cover which is nice. its low light capabilities are amazing. its thinner and lighter but who cares. the new a6 processor is pretty good but if you ask me they should a couple of gigabytes of memory. its about time they added lte and panorama but panorama was on the apple store like two years ago.
the front facing camera is now 720 pixels which is awesome. lightning connector is good because it is reversible  but all apple is doing is trying to get money on the adapters. ear pods are good finally they got rid of the glass back it is so breakable

ios 6 is not that great the full screen safari is good the passbook is pretty good but maps is horrible it is even worse than mapquest they should have kept google maps and its about time they got rid of youtube because it is horrible google made their own app that is 100 times better

iPod nano is pretty good but they should really put the camera back on it

ipod touch is pretty good but they should sell a 16 gb ipod 5th generation the "loop" is horrible no one is going to use it and why did they put the black thing on the back again it looks ugly but the new colors are awesome i like the black one nice a5 chip

As you can tell, N wrote it. Please excuse his horrendous spelling and grammar. I corrected a little of it but soon gave up since there's too much. Hopefully you can tell what he means.

The Trivia-Poll

The Trivia-Poll

I have noticed that only Connor Hofeditz no one, not even Connor Hofeditz, has answered the trivia question! That means there's only one person nobody who has voted thus far. Come on, people! Why don't you answer the trivia question? Are you too lazy? Too stupid? Too fat? Or maybe you didn't see it? Why don't you prove to me that you are not lazy, stupid, fat, or blind by simply answering the trivia question? Thank you for your as-of-yet-nonexistent trivia answers.

 

Ridiculousness

A few days ago, in homeroom, I observed one of the most ridiculous things ever.  A male classmate stood by the teacher's desk, waiting for something I guess. Like a surprisingly big percentage of modern young men, his pants were sagging noticeably. He reached for his waistband. At first I thought he'd finally come to his senses and realized that having pants that are about to slip off is not anything to be proud of. I was wrong. Instead, he yanked his pants down a little further. They were practically on the verge of dropping, but he seemed unbothered. What has the world come to?

New Trivia Question!

Well, as the title states, I'm putting up a new trivia question/poll. Please do not use Google or any other search engine to answer! A good guess is good enough in this case.

The Trivia Answer Revealed!

              The Trivia Answer Revealed!

  The trivia question has now closed! Do you want to know the answer? I'll tell you! But first of all, I want you people who did it to know that I hope you didn't just Google the answer choices to answer the question. If you did, please refrain from doing that in the future. You are supposed to answer the question with prior knowledge. 

   Anyways, the answer to the the trivia question was the least clicked answer, Dog with LMNOP. No one clicked it, which proves that Google is unreliable.

  Just kidding. The correct answer was Cat with FCA. Most people chose that one, and I bet most of them Googled it. In fact, I bet a piece of paper that at least half of them Googled it.

Four

For those who enjoyed my number series, sorry I haven't updated. Without further ado, here is Four!
--
I never really realized how many things come in fours. North, south, east, west -the cardinal directions. The elements in alchemy-- earth, fire, water, air. Spring, summer, winter, and fall are the four seasons. Also, there are the four basic states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. It also has some unique mathematical properties.  First of all, it's the smallest square of a prime and also the only even squared prime. It's also the smallest composite number. In Buddhism, there are four noble truths as well as four stages of enlightenment. In the Jewish celebration of Passover, there are the Four Questions to be asked, four cups of wine to drink, the Four Expressions of Redemption to be said, and a story of four sons. Some Chinese are also superstitious about the number four because it's pronunciation is very similar to that of "death." In the game Tetris (we have one at the bottom of this blog), each piece is made of four pieces, hence. In Veronica Roth's Divergent, the main character's instructor and love interest is nicknamed Four. In the English language, many swear words have four letters. The number doesn't represent the best of things in some cases but still comes up a lot.

I have no idea when Five will be posted.

N is Too Lazy to Write Blog Posts According to GM

A few days ago, N announced that he was too lazy to write blog posts and that he didn't want to be an author anymore. That's pretty much all there is to say.

--

Actually, GM, he claims also not to have the time. It's possible that he pops up once in a while to write something.

He's still tech support, somewhat.
 

Time Travel

Time Travel
A collaboration by GM and RF

    
     Time travel. It is just an invention of science fiction, right? Well, maybe not. Technically, there is nothing in science that says it isn't possible (After all, time supposedly is always moving around us), but there are many things people should figure out before trying to make a time machine or heading towards the nearest wormhole.
     First of all, by traveling back in time, some horrible things are pretty much guaranteed to happen. For example, you could end up with no clothing, which is obviously pretty bad. Are you confused? I get the feeling you are. Well, here's an example. Say your 100% cotton shirt was made a year ago. You wear it to time travel two years back.Two years ago, that shirt was probably just a bunch of seeds. Wouldn't you be wearing a pile of seeds? Further more, would the seeds be around/on you in the time machine or in the field that it was in at that time? Think about your time machine too. If you time travel back to before your time machine was completed, it would malfunction and eventually collapse. Plus you could disappear if you un-age enough to stop existing.
     This brings us to the next point. The whole time travel concept is, as a guy who we think could be a clone says, a paradox. It's a huge contradiction, basically. Let's say you manage to go back in time five years without having a time machine breakdown. So would there be two of you? One? None? Infinite? Same goes for everything else that is time traveling with you. There's also that scenario where you go back in time and kill one of your ancestors or yourself (I'm not sure why anyone would ever do that, but I suppose stranger things have happened.). What happens?
     RF's dad claims by time travel, most people mean "they want to travel through time without being affected by it." To actually travel through time that way, you'd need to move faster than time itself. This is another mind boggling concept. How would this work? If you were to time travel back, you'd travel forwards for at least a tiny amount of time, right? The theory that moving backwards or forwards in time always causes aging is starting to sound a whole lot more logical.
     Also, if there's time travel in the future, then why has no one from the future come visit us? Did their machine break down or did they disappear? It all seems very strange. It's very possible they died in the process. There are theories that they may be disguised as normal people or no one will ever discover time travel. It's probably best for the human race if time travel isn't ever used, although many will disagree.
     GM's brother says that the point of time travel is to go to a different universe where time is slower. But how do you know there are more universes? If there aren't, wouldn't you have to transport the entire universe? It seems nearly impossible to transport the entire universe back in time. We'll need a immensely powerful source of energy to do that.
     On the other hand, it's possible time is but an illusion!*

* It's an interesting thing, but we'll leave that for another post.

Yes, this is not what we usually post and a little longer than the others. Sorry if you aren't into this type of stuff.
