Obama's addiction

Now that Obama will be becoming president, he will have to give up his Blackberry. He will not be allowed to email because it makes him easily trackable. None of the other presidents have had this problem before. Obama is known to always be on his phone emailing, so this switch will be very hard for him.

Computer Jewelry

Lately in computer architechture we've been taking apart computers. We then make jewelry out of the many different computer parts. To attach many of the parts we use solder and a solder gun. The solder gun melts the solder really fast.

Fire

At lunch today the fire alarm went off. My friends and I were eating and we weren't sure what the noise was because it wasn't the regular fire alarm noise. After the alarm went off we had to wait a while untill we were told we could go back in. The alarm went off because of a power surge.

Today is really cold. I hate the cold.

internet viruses

Viruses are a common problem in many computers. They can be hidden in many different hoaxes and can infest your computer without you even being aware of it. Many viruses are hidden in emails and are passed when the user forwards it to other people. Viruses are pointless and just ruin you computer. Everyone needs to be aware that the emails that tell you how to remove the virus from your computer only teach you how to add the virus to your computer, not remove it.
