Chloe Kim’s article has covered a topic that perhaps we take for granted most of the time. Whether you own a Blackberry, iPhone, or Android, we all know whether it’s the games we purchase, or the GPS we use on it to go somewhere, or even checking email, these apps are cutting edge and the potential seems limitless. It is crazy at times to reflect and think how far along the human race has truly come. I doubt most tech pundits could even imagine in their wildest dreams the devices we would have today ranging from the iPod even to the idea of a basic and simple laptop.

A few days ago, a company just announced that they had come up with an app that would allow a person to start their car replacing the key the dealership provided. I know what you’re thinking, that’s crazy isn’t it? The fact of the matter is whether we like it or not, we’re living in a world now where we have to keep ourselves up to speed on new creations, and if necessary they should be implemented in our lives. I’m not telling anyone what phone they should be buying, but whichever one you possess make the most of it!

It’s quite remarkable and somewhat ironic too that the day after the new iPhone 4S was released by Tim Cook, Steve Jobs passed away. Many people were expecting the iPhone 5 to be released, however only a revamped version of the previous phone was presented to an eager crowd in the auditorium in California. I feel that the death of Jobs perhaps sparked a little more interest than usual in Apple products, specifically the iPhone. The stock had dropped almost $18 the day the product was released, but still somehow managed to sell out their online stock of the phone set to be released on October 14th.

The new phone offers 1080p playback and a longer lasting battery life (no surprise), hardly making it an upgrade for one who already owns an iPhone 4 as there is 720p and a 10 hour life. However, for someone who’s tired of the phone they currently have and are shopping for a new one, perhaps the iPhone would be a good choice. Perhaps the most exciting addition is the iOS 5 which features iMessage (dubbed as the BBM killer). It’s a bittersweet moment for Apple losing their heart and soul in Steve Jobs, but feeling success once again with a new phone….For more information on the features this phone offers please visit here. Fellow blogger Akash Patel has done a wonderful job at breaking down the features as well.

As times are getting tougher financially, people are starting to get frustrated. What started out as a gathering by a dozen college students has turned into a nationwide phenomenon  now sparking protests anywhere from Pittsburgh all the way to San Francisco. The students started protesting on Wall Street three weeks ago and have gradually gained hundreds of supporters standing by their side. Social inequality, citizens arrested for unpaid bills, and global warming are some of the causes that ignited this. The protests in the other cities mentioned are quite smaller but their voices are being heard loud and clear as well. More on how the cities it has spread to and the origination of it can be found here.

Hundreds of people have now joined the twelve college students who started this protest and have been making their voices loud and clear.

I truly feel that America is in an interesting but nonetheless stressful time in its history. Every second property is being foreclosed, people are unable to pay their bills, employers are cutting down on costs by letting go workers, and for those have been able to keep their jobs are not getting raises. The people have a right to voice their anger, frustration, and concern, but I am not certain if this is the right way to do it…
