Bush signs stimulus package

Bush just sighned a $168 million stimulus package.... This means that there will soon be rebate checks ranging from $300 to $1,200 to 130 million Americans. This is really good for both the economy and Bush's reputation. Most poeple do not like President Bush but because he is showing that he gives back to the American people, they will atart to like him more as he approaches his last few months in office.

Google has a very well known program called "Google Earth". This program is desighned for public use. It lets you see anywhere in the whole world!.... But sometimes to much freedom is wrong.

Woman Sues Best Buy For $54 Million Over Lost Laptop

Best Buy is being Sued!!!!

This article cought my attention right away. A woman bought a new laptop from bestbuy and was going to pick it up one day. When she got to the counter she realized that the store had lost her laptop. She sued BestBuy for $54 Million!!!! Eveybody knew that $54 Mil. is way to much money. So the store decided to give the customer a 900$ gift card and a refund on the laptop. That is a pretty decent offer.


I was so suprised when I read this article. Granted, if a store lost my laptop, I would obviously be very upset. But I still wouldn't sue the store for $54 Million dollars!!!

Palm Realizes It's Not Apple; Closes Retail Shops

Palm Realizes It's Not Apple; Closes Retail ShopsThis article is very suprising and unexpected. The brand palm (palm pilot) is closing all of there retail shops because of loss of profit to Apple. Many americans know how much the american people depend on Apple products for everyday life, so it is logical to say that the brand "palm" would be obsolete by 2011 anyway. Eventhough this was bound to happen someday,I am very suprised that it is happening in 2008. I would of thought that palm would of stayed stong until at least 2011. This just shows the American people how much technology is evolving and how things that we think are important today, might not be tomorrow.
