Google Security
I think that Google's scanning can be important. However, is it possible for people to block so that their searches cannot be traced? To act on things that do not present a threat would be mistreating its rights.
Standby Problem
This problem is occuring more and more frequently and it is really annoying! one time in English it happened and finally got it turned back on and reopened the documents when my battery fell out! i had to focus on doing that instead of the class so this is very bad!! it also makes weird noises.

Wikipedia
I am a fan of Wikipedia because if I am not sure of something, I will quickly google it and usually Wikipeida will come up and offer an answer. If you are using it for a research project, it is up to you to determine its reliability. However, it provides a great deal of info and is in a good format.

Vanished
I think what Evan did to vanish and create a new identity was very cool. If I were to do this, I think I would be very lonely. I could never be able to track someone the way the people who tried to find him did.
Science Fair

Complaints about Google phone
Google has been receiving lots of complaints from its newly released google smart phone due to bad 3G coverage. If customers who bought a contract want to resign, they end up paying around $550 dollars. The phone can only be ordered through Google stores, and although they have partnered with T-mobile, it cannot be found in a T-mobile store.
