Dreamweaver is hard to work with!

Dreamweaver is a program that you can make htmls in, or that is what I am learning to do. If I had my own web page I could load the pages from dreamweaver onto your cite. However there is one problem. It does not have a friendly user interface. it is very hard to find where to even change the color of the text. For an every day user, what would be made is a very boring website, that they would have to go through a google search to find how to load it to their web page. Iweb is a way easier app, as long as you have mobile me. It may cost a bit more, but it is also easier to make a quality web page. The website I created with the help of my computer teacher is extremely basic, and I wouldn't be able to make it without help. Anyway, if you are thinking about dreamweaver and don't have extensive training don't!

Who is going to use the Ipad and what is it good for?

The biggest question of the latest and greatest Apple product is what is the use of it? It is at the top of the products in its catagory but what is the point of the catagory? There is two ways to use the ipad, student uses, and entertainment. The Ipad is great for taking notes as long as you buy the attatchable 70-80$ keyboard. College students can also buy all their textbooks on it for half the price, on a 1.5 pound device. The device allows you to get all the books you need, type, and if someone develops it, it is possible to make a handwriting app.
Next the enjoyment section. This is one of the greatest portable movie watching expieriences you will have. Also you can download music to it from itunes. All of the Itouch apps are availible on the Ipad. The Ipad is great as an entertainment device and you won't get bored of it.
Lastly, the problems of the Ipad. Most people are going to get the 32 GB memory if they buy the Ipad. 32 GB is not enough to make it a laptop killer. Until it gets more memory it is not that great. Lastly, it is easy to break without the case. Overall rating, 4 stars.

Truphone

Truphone is the latest and greatest iphone/touch app that allows you to get $17 a month unlimited calling using wifi. To call someone, you need wifi, so just stop at the nearest starbucks. The app is a breakthrough, considdering that unlimited calling is usually around $70 a month for the first six months. Then the price goes up. If you get truphone and a mifi card it would cost $45 a month overall. In addition, the mifi card can connect up to 5 mobile devices, so it wouldn't just be for phone service. The question is now, will this kill AT&T. If AT&T thought this then they wouldn't allow this app to go through. Although this could bight them in the back. Next, truphone doesn't only connect to the iphone/touch. It can be downloaded to a blackberry too. Why get an expensive unlimited plan when you can get a great app like truphone?

LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Tiger Woods has been harassed by the paparazzi for cheating on his wife. The press has made up stories of multiple women, and of prostitution. Now they make a story of divorce. ESPN said "Elin Nordegren, the wife of Tiger Woods, will seek a divorce..." Tiger Woods was also recently voted athlete of the decade. Some people say he didn't deserve it. However, there is no case saying he doesn't deserve this award.
Tiger woods has won multiple golf championships, and is the richest player in golf. He is on the path to make over a billion dollars. He is the greatest golf player ever, and the only other contender possibly is Michael Phelps.
All sports players have their problems, and the press hits so hard on these people, sometimes they don't turn out the same. In the times of the most trauma, there should only be a small article and then they should be left alone. Because of the press, Tiger Woods will not play golf for who knows what. Tiger Woods may be the best golfer of all time, so in times like these, the person should be given a chance to not be reported on and to try to fix the problem they have made. Please, give me comments on what you think of the situation of Tiger Woods.

Is the Saints record a deserved one?

The New Orleans Saints have a record of 13-0. They are tied for the best team in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. However, they have had many close games and won one game they deserved to lose. Versus the Redskins, they had the game of a lifetime.
The Saints were down by 7 to the Redskins in the fourth quarter. There were less than two minutes left and the Redskins had the ball on the 23 yard line. They decided to kick a field goal to make it a two posession game. This would pretty much win the game for the Redskins, and end the undefeated streak of the Saints. The Redskins missed the field goal, which is usually automatic. This cost the game.
By the time the Saints got the ball back there was about a minute left. In thirty three seconds they managed to get a touchdown and take the game into overtime. However, the Redskins got the ball and got a chance to redeem themselves. They took the ball to the thirty yard line on their drive and had a good chance at a field goal. However, because of the last field goal attempt they decided to keep the drive going. They threw an interseption. The Saints took it back to the fourty yard line, and kicked a field goal to win.
This game was a win they didn't deserve. I am a Saints fan and I know they don't come close to the team the Colts have. I feel the Saints are a great team, but are extremely overated. If all the games weren't won out of the other teams fault, at this point (week 15) they would be maybe 10-3 or 9-4. However I always want opinions. Tell me what you think.

Alternative Energy Position


Geothermal energy is my favorite alternative energy. It is not very expensive and makes electrical and heating energy. The only problem is the possibility, which is very rare, of earthquakes. In addition, I believe a combination of nuclear, geothermal, and solar powers is the best. I find these make the cleanest energy, and make the least changes to the environment. However, there are problems with all of these energies and I am open for opinion. If there are problems with these please post something. Here is why I think that this combination is the best.
1. Geothermal energy- Geothermal energy is made from taking superheated fluid from the earth. Then the fluid is made under different amounts of pressure to make steam. This pushes a turbine to make electrical energy. This energy is good for electric power and heating power.
2. Nuclear power- Nuclear power is made under a similar process. The water is heated however, using nuclear fission of uranium. This makes great electrical energy.
3. Solar power- Solar energy is made in a complicated process. Basically, solar panels take in sunlight an convert it into energy. This would be used in vehicles, space missions, and electrical energy.
Overall, these powers are clean and can be easily made. Please tell me if you disagree.
