RIP Steve Job

Steve Jobs was co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple. He created computers, laptops, iPhones, and iPods. Steve Jobs was a  very creative man and a very important person in this world. In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer and he went under a liver transplant in 2009. Jobs knew he was going to die so he resigned as CEO of Apple and continued to work. At the age of 56, Jobs died in his home on October 5, 2011. He died of respiratory arrest also with a tumor. Jobs died with his family by his side, he had passed out the day before. Apple announced his death on the website by writing a message stating how sad they are that he died. 


Jobs has really changed the world. Mostly everybody owns a apple computer, laptop, iPhone or a iPod. Without Steve, things wouldn't be the same in the world. 


The social network , twitter, showed a lot of love for steve jobs. " RIP Steve Jobs" was a trending topic for quite a while. People also were talking about the next iPhone and would there be one. The iPhone 5 will be coming out without Steve Jobs. He will be very missed. Rest in peace.

Plan B pill

On the news they have been talking about trying to get the "plan B" pill over the counter. The Plan B pill is to be taking by the woman that think they are pregnant after 72 hours of having sex. It prevents the egg from fertilizing. They officially made passed the bill saying that the plan B pill will be sold at stores without a prescription for people 17 and older.

I think that its bad that they put it out like that because teenagers thats younger than 17 could just steal the pill from the store. I also think that some teenagers just have unprotected sex and don't care because if they feel pregnant they could take the pill without information. If they go to the doctors and get a prescription, the doctor will tell them more about STD's and transmitted diseases, so they will more likely to use condoms and not depend on the plan B pill or birth control.

I think they should change the law back, i think it's really dangerous to teenagers and anybody that is having sex. They should go to the doctors and get more information about diseases and about getting pregnant. If they depend on the pill they could be too late to take the plan B pill and end up getting pregnant.

NBA lockout, finally over

On July 1st, the 2011 NBA lockout began. The lockout means that the next season of basketball is postponed for another time. During the lockout, teams cannot trade, sign or contact players and players can't access NBA team facilities, trainers or staffs. During the lockout, it affected the players a lot of money,  The cancellation of each month of the season cost the players around $350 million in lost pay. Some players decided to fly over seas and go to teams in Asia or Europe, and some decided to just stay here and wait until the lockout is over. The lockout lasted 149 days, leaving fans really angry. The lockout ended November 26th 2011. Fans were so  happy and excited that the lockout was over. The first game will be on December 25th 2011. I am also a fan of basketball and i was so relieved that the lockout was over. A lot of people were excited, they showed a lot of the excitement on twitter. "NBA" was a trending topic for about 2 days straight.
