Man Chops off both his Arms in Home Depot

     On April 11th, a man entered the Covina Home Depot and began cutting both of his arms off. It scared and scarred many people who were present.  A off duty paramedic  by the name of Art Hurtado was there as well. As soon as the Paramedic saw him he had limited supplies to help the man bleeding on the ground. First he thought it was a crime scene with foul play, but he saw movement, and he had to formulate a plan to help save the 50 year old man. As soon as paramedics with the ambulance came with the right equipment to help, Hurtado backed off to let the men do their job.  If it wasn't for Hurtado in that moment of time to help the man, he would have died. They don't know what provoked the man to do what he did, but suspect drug use or mental complications.

World Controversy over Art and Sports

On the threat scale, we have progressed to next dangerous level as of April 1st, 2013. Going from 'Moo Goo Gai Pan' all the way to the dangerous level 'vanilla rice pudding'. From the controversy over art blogs, publications and notifications have sky rocketed. It links back to two high-schoolers, whom had a small debate over who could not only create better blogs than each other, but keep up on the latest news, and have the most knowledge on their topics. Lately, people from all over the globe have been raving about these topics, also disturbing the peace in Hong Kong. The art exhibit being held by the famous art blogger Art Fearing next to the Hong Kong Buffet in Sturgeon Bay, has caused the restaurant to remain in a state of silent delightedness (Possibly Confusion.) If the controversy continues to acerbate, the president is preparing our country's army for breakouts, riots, and threats.

Apple due for New Products


Apple stocks have gone down 1.2% and is standing at ($465.43 per share). The reason behind the decline is that Apple is lacking innovation and ingenuity. Apple has been said to have their "heads stuck in the  sand". At a reason share-holders meeting, Apple wanted to ensure their stock holders that they are working hard on new products that have great new features. Updates, surface designs, and software adjustments are constantly being worked on states CEO, Tim Cook. Tim Cook also mentioned that there would be a new product category, but didn't expand on the notion much. Since the big hit to Apple, Cook is under pressure to return monies to  share holders in which it stands, $137(billion). Apple's largest competitor is Samsung. With Samsung's new product lines,as well as Google, Apple has started to feel the strain of one-uping. Apple has many products rumored to come out soon. One of those products possibly being the iWatch. Cook may not have wanted to expand on the secret because of other competitors. Some of these products may also 
move to Tv, wearable products, etc.

Steve Pearce on Drug Testing Proposal

A new law proposal has been presented to Obama by a Republic representative, Steve Pearce. Since people with jobs have to pass drug tests, people whom are government assisted (homeless, jobless) would have to pass these drug tests as well. Pearce expresses his anger toward the ongoing issue of unaccountability that the US Government has had towards the people that they offer the assistance programs to. Pearce has misstated that the government has completely avoided these issues. When in the meeting when the potential law was proposed, Pearce's spokesmen was asked if Pearce thought that the drug screening that was already stated in the legislature wasn't effective enough to him, the spokesmen didn't reply right away. It turns out that the drug test proposal that Pearce had was actually more broad than the legislature that was already in place.

Hacked!

Evernote is an app that is designed for note taking, picture keepsakes, and reminders. Evernote is great for a wide selection of occupations. By this last Saturday, a unknown hacker was able to get into the company's user's passwords and capture them. Evernote editors are resetting all of their 50 million users passwords. The hacker wasn't interested in getting into user's profiles and messing with their accounts, they wanted their payment accounts and information. "However the company said the attack did not appear to be linked to Java, a commonly used computer programming language whose weaknesses have been used as springboards for other recent hacks."

Not Too Far Away


     As you can see in this inspiring video by Corning, the possibilities of future technologies. Though of course we haven't fully gotten to this point in time when this technology can be sold on the market, it isn't too far away. 

Corning Glass Video

     A new glass phone prototype has just presented to the press by Polytron Technologies. The new device isn't technically see through, it uses light lasers inside of the top and bottom enclosed square glass piece. It projects the pictures and buttons onto the glass inside. As you can see in the picture, it includes the SIM card, SD card, and batteries. Polytron is keeping in mind that they may use darker glass or use cameras to hide the needed components to appear see-through. Here's my thought: Enough people have trouble enough finding their phones when their ringer is off, that's a real blast isn't it? Think about having a clear glass phone, and the ringer is off. (Double the fun to find!)
