Touchscreen PC's are the future?

http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2009/03/kitchen-pcs-gai.html

I was wondering when some of these CPU's were going to be exposed to the public. This could possibly be the first wave of many new touchscreen CPU's to come in the very near future. More and more devices are slowly becoming touchscreen operated, so is this really the future for the CPU?

World Map Turned Into Animal Shapes

Twelve Animals is a creative project by Kentaro Naga that pieces together the continents and islands from a world map to form the twelve animal signs of the Japanese Zodiac. As a project for peace, the different continents and islands are pieced together to form the animal. The project is pretty cool. During the presentation, you can see the pieces move around to form the different animals which were pieced together really well.

Mac Or PC: Two Business Owners, Two Opinions

This blog is very interesting because it gives us insight on whether to use a Mac or PC. There are opinions in this blog which give both the positve and negative in buying either of these platforms. Both are business based opinions and I find both very interesting. For me personally I am a PC user. I agree with a lot of aspects the PC review gets but very little with the bad reviews on the PC. Hey if your a Mac person read this blog and tell me what you find better about a Mac then PC and we could have a nice little conversation about the positive and negatice written in this article.

Scams Aimed at Social Networks

Social networks have made scamming so much easier for people. Pictures and user names are used to represent people. Hackers are easily able to use your information to act as if they were you. There have been many scams caused by hacking. One of which was a story of a guy named Bryan who's profile was hacked. A buletin was posted telling his friends that he was trapped over seas without any money to come home because he was held at gunpoint. It was taken to the point where one of his close friends sent money to him. Scamming might not seem like a big deal in some cases, but it can cause huge problems if and when people take it seriously.

Signs of Dating Abuse

Some people might get flattered by either jealousy, possessiveness, or constant attention. A lot of the time, these are signs of dating abuse. Put together, these qualities can be the result of control more than love. Of 920 students that were questioned, more than one-third of them had been abused, emotionally and physically, by their romantic partners before they started college. This type of abuse has been known to influence people into doing horrible things such as committing suicide, binge drinking, and committing acts of violence. This is an issue that seems so small but can eventually cause very serious problems.

Facebook collaborates with Adobe for a smoother Flash Experience

It has been reported that the creators of the social networking site Facebook, have hooked up with the creators at Adobe, to provide a coding, that when used within the Facebook interface, would provide users with a much smoother and simpler experience with its interactive applications. Currently there is $516 Million dollars being funded towards this project, with talk of even more funding and support. If all works out, applications as well as videos will stream very fluidly, making their use less choppy and static-esque.
