Under 100 and Homeless

Almost all of these objects were around $100.00 not under $100.00. These little pieces of tech were pretty cool two or three years ago. Now they are just out dated. It would have been better to watch a newer one. Over the past couple years the child poverty rate has gone up, more then 2 million more kids in the past two years. One over the highest rate is located around Disney World. More and more people have been helping each other in these times. Many people were and still are helping each other through their tough times. They are helping to improve the lives of these kid with donations and school run programs.

Hacking

A while ago some very talented hackers in Europe put out a computer virus that spread to about four million people world wide about 500,000 in the US alone. They could lead you to sites that you think you know a "look-a-like" iTunes and get information, it was one big scam. They other problem was that they were saying that they would shut down the whole internet on a specific date. Then the FBI got involved and started investigating and put up counter measures against this cyber threat. You could go online and have then check your computer for you. This lasted about a year, so the FBI held them off for a year but then everybody needed to update their computers defence software and many people didn't so then they were at risk again. It all ended well the FBI found the group responsible and made the arrests.

Attack in Algeria

In gas field, owned by BP in Algeria was attacked by terrorist. Of the eight Americans that were present at the plant only five survived. Of the three that 60 Minutes interviewed one of them was bus driver that transported personal back-and-forth from the plant. He thought that bus blown a tier. Then he started to see the bullets flying by the bus and as he said everyone on the bus as quickly as possible tried to get on the floor of the bus and as flat as possible. He said it was like they trained for this attack but hey hadn't. The manager at the plant gathered up all of his staff and they hid him in a room and locked the door. They could hear the terrorist kicking down doors, but by the grace of god he was in one of the two doors that were not kicked down he was in one. He described it as the most nerve racking experience in his life. He thought he was going to die.

Patent Wars/Google Glasses

If the goal of this video was to decide if tablets are going to replace PCs, then it didn't work. As the guy said in the video "The PC is not dead and will not die." Sales of the tablet will start to grow faster but they still can't do the things a regular PC can do. These Google Glasses look AMAZZAZING. When they come out everybody will want to jump in and buy one. I want one. A topic came up that these glasses might hinder the future population at doing more physical activity. This could be a problem because people are already having trouble with physical exercise.

BlackJet: Fly private for less

At Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, BlackJet CEO Dean Rotchin spoke with CNNMoney aboard a private jet known as the Challenger 300. It seats eight passengers and would normally cost upwards of $20,000 for a coast-to-coast flight. Using BlackJet, a customer can book a seat on the plane for $3,500. It's not cheap, but it's far less than the going price for the whole plane. BlackJet's goal is to sell enough seats to profit from the flight. Even if the plane doesn't fill up, any ticket you purchase is guaranteed.Right now, BlackJet's service is limited to flights from New York, Florida, San Francisco and Los Angeles.  BlackJet charges members a $2,500 annual fee, but it's waiving that fee right now for many of its early adopters. I think that this is a good idea because it will be able to cut fuel and travel costs.
