Boeing to Sell Phone That Self-Destructs

If you were a Mission Impossible fan, doesn't this sound absolutely awesome? The new Boeing Black is set to debut some time in the Summer and has a very new patent coming with it. Although there will be no explosions of fireworks, the phone will completely delete all data on the phone if the case or battery gets tampered with. So playing with your phone will be a bad thing to do. However these phones will most likely not be available for regular everyday consumers as they will most likely be used for a field of work that involves security. The phone will run on Google's Android engine. The phone has no set date or price yet, but Boeing developers are expecting this to be a great product to introduce them into the world of cellular devices.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

After reading Educational Technology and Copyright Law I have learned a few new things about the internet and it's endless rules about copyright. I personally had a very limited knowledge on the topic so this article really showed me something new about copyright laws. For example I didn't know that even a doodle can be copyrighted right away and I also didnt know of the 4 rights that a person gets once they create something. This article definitely enhanced my knowledge on the topic and now I know how to be smarter on the internet with copyright and fair use in mind.

New App Helps You Fight Parking Ticket

This new application to your phone called Fixed, is a new way  to fight a parking ticket that you had received. Here's how Fixed works, when someone gets a ticket they snap a photo of it on their iPhone and enter the violation code. Fixed will tell them what percentage of those types of tickets are usually overturned and then show a list of possible reasons it could be found invalid. For example, a street cleaning sign might be obscured by a leafy tree, or a parking meter could be broken. This new technology is innovative for the people, they now have a way to fight against a system that is very hard to beat. Fixed however comes with a price. With every ticket beat the app will charge the winner 25% of what the ticket was. If you lose, however, the Fixed App will not charge you. The app is still under construction and has no set release date.

Chemistry Class!

     This year in my Chemistry honors class I have been introduced to a new science that I have never seen before. The teacher is Mr.Maniscalco, all of his information will be displayed here. He has been teaching or three years here at WRHS and he has been very imprortnatn for the school because he teaches five different classes. At the beginnning of the year i couldnt wait to get into learning chemistry with such a great teacher and man like Mr.Maniscalco. We often visit the Youtube Channel Crash Crash Course Chemistry to help us with the criiteria in chemistry. The channel is great becuase the comedy from the channel makes it easier to learn the hard parts of chemistry. If you want to visit the channel then click here.
     So far in the course we haeve gotten through the periodic table and other common resources that are very relevant to the field of chemistry. The periodic table is shown to the right and it is a great tool to help solve equations and other common chemistry problems. Our teacher runs the common grading policy at WRHS. He is always there to help after or before school. He is a very great teacher because he knows how to connect to his students and how to help them surive the tough course of chemistry.


         
     My favorite parts of the course are the labs that we often do and the cool videos that we watch. During the course we have watched multiple videos abut common chemistry topics. My favorite was the video on the Northern light because they are so beautiful. Evryday we use a new piece of technology to help us gater data and other important resources.I love chemistry class at WRHS

Technology Article 2-7-14: Hunger Games to use CGI in the final Hunger Games Movie in replacement of Philip Seymour Hoffman

The late Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away on February 2 leaving his role unfinished in the first and second parts of the final Hunger Games movie. This technology is not new as it has been used in the role of Oliver Reed in the 2000 movie Gladiator. Multiple scenes in that movie had been regenerated using the then new technology of Computer Generated Imagery. Fortunately many parts of the movie wont be effected and the movie will release on the same dates of November 21, 2014 for art 1 and November 20, 2015.

CGI Technology is a fairly new technology. Like I had mentioned before it had been used in past movies but it will be making a very big appearance in a very big movie franchise. CGI uses computer art to make a moving picture that coincides with the actual real life characters in the movie. Some movies have been ruled terrible because of their use of really bad CGI effects. Here is a video of some of the worse CGI uses ever. CGI is a great technology that can really improve a movie, or make it ten times worse.

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog! My name is Joe Batcho, my blog is named Eddy's blog becuase that is a nickname I have inherited over the past few years from my friends. I enjoy playing sports and playing video games during my free time. I am an honor roll student and i plan to keep on that track the next two years here at WRHS. I dislike The Cowboys and The Yankees, I hate The Yankees. I have two wonderful parents and a sister and a dog. I currently take three honors classes and I am passing them all with A's. Thank you and good luck this year in Web 2.0!
