This is a massive ouch. Oil prices hit below $90, and this is causing a turbulence within speculators. The oil prices dropped due to the expected increase in supply of oil, which was reported from OPEC.

“The fire along the oil conduit from Canada to the Midwest caused a spike above $95 a barrel Thursday - and renewed speculation that oil was as back on its way to $100. But by the end of New York floor trading it was clear most of the network was quickly returned to service and that the fire-damaged section was expected to be back up in days.”

The oil is just a bit steady due to OPEC messing with the supply, as it was expected to pump 500,000 barrels a day. Oil is going up, and the economy is go so down, that oil is just one factor that investors are worrying about.

Banks doing what?? 

Reliable bank, SunTrust, is going cheap on the job and intends to devastate 2,400 lives. In their glory to save $530 million annually by 2009, they will be taking away the corresponding amount of jobs. By this fiscal year, they will save about $45 million initially this quarter because of the pretax earnings of their former workers.

What’s SunTrust facing ? 

SunTrust faces a challenging future for there seems to be a high competition against other lenders in various margins and increasing credit losses. Current chief executive incumbent holder, James M. Wells, has made a progress in the expansion of the financial institution by three times its former state, and he acquired the position past January. So his current plan seems to be widening their communication towards their clients and hire those that support that department.

For those of you who do not know what broadband is, its pretty much Dsl. Well a lot of us watch movies online and now it can result in a deadly price. Broadband companies are PONDERNG on charging the freedom we young folks have of watching videos. Over the next four years the number of videos watched over the internet is expected to quadruple, with people moving from short clips to hour-long programmes. So since a lot of us already watch it, and it is usually slow on some sites, it seems the excessive use will get worse as time moves on.

The reason for this uprise is because downloading videos uses up a lot of “bandwidth”, which could cause problems for the broadband network. The more videos you watch, the more bandwidth you use. Sometimes you can get in trouble by your ISP for excessive use of bandwidth. Channel 4 and the BBC are to make it possible in coming months for viewers to download episodes of their favourite television programs. The BBC iPlayer, launched last month, gives viewers access to most of their programs.

So now with more companies like BBC giving out a free distribution of videos, this can dangerously affect the network costs of ISPs. And with the iPlayer launching, don’t expect a smooth ride with that bill. Those ISPs are going to charge YOU for the high use of bandwidth so internet WILL get expensive in near future.

The author of the article wants the development of free markets shows a situation in Jamaica. Through a statement, the author explains how the Jamaicans are lacking “dogs” which he explains through the example of the poor jamaican and his bike. He cant use his bike because the dog is broken which is the local term for the broken small part of the wheel assembly. The main point is that they cannot repair their laptops because they cannot afford it so giving them laptops is pointless. If they do not have the main parts for the full product, they cannot do it. They need help and we must help them. I agree with the author on his idea to help the people out.

My 5 Add-ons:

1) FireFtp is great. Its like SmartFtp but better because it offers various tools. For instance, it has a file opener right on the side so you dont have to search for your file you want to use. Also its on the webpage so you dont have to open up a separate program. Its alot better and smaller than SmartFtp.

2) Map+ is a very unique mapping tool. If your are surfing the web and you find the name of restaurant, house, offices, or any other place, all you do is highlight the place and right click on view map of. Its a wonderful way to find locations and I would use it if I needed to find a place quickly.

3) I used Wikiseek and Wikihistory which are extensions for Wikipedia. Wikihistory keeps track of your last few searches and shows them on the page. On the other hand, Wikiseek lets you search on wikipedia faster and is sythesized with Wikipedia. A student or anyone who uses Wikipedia very often should use this as it is very beneficial for them.

4) Another addon I used is Answers. It is great for people who read alot. What it does is it defines a word on the same screen faster and more efficiently. Let’s say I read an article and come across a word I do not know so I just highlight and right click and press the button and right there it will show me the definition. Its on the same screen so its great. I will definitely use this, but it would be alot better if you can take the SAT online.

5) The last addon I used was Web Developer. The tools allow the user to disable, view, and edit cookies, CSS, HTML, forms, and images; validate pages; and much more. This tool is great for young minds who want to learn and express their true potential in a computer.

All of these plug-ins were great and different from each other. They were all good in what they focused on.

The Start Frame Delimiter which is the SFD is the 8-bit balue marking the end of the preamble of an ethernet frame. Then comes the destination MAC address where the location of where the packet will go to is present. The source MAC address is where the packet is initiating from. The Ethertype is a 2-bit text labeling the type of Ethernet protocol.

This magnificent piece of structure is the greatest invention next to the personal computer. Just as the basketball-sized computer went to a affordable piece of equipment, the 3-D printer is looking like its on the same path. As the video demonstrates the creation of a silicone bulb, it is truly unbelievable that something like this can actually be made. The only investment in this is the printer and the raw materials used to create the items but that will improve as technology flourishes in near future.

There are many negative sides to the printer. For instance, inactivity between young adults and senior citizens will grow because the need to go to the local stores will reduce as more and more items will be available. Maybe in a decade or two, it might be possible to produce a car or house just by a printer. It will also create new business opportunities but vehemently detriment local stores as people would prefer to use the computer more than their physical body. New hacks would be introduced that will effect the economy. All a person has to do is download the model and the printer can print it, if a professional hacker gets all the downloads, they can be rich much quicker than in the present world. Crime and law enforcement would myriadly increase.

On the positive side, gas prices will go down as people will consume less of it. People will have a way to access to things from places around the world within a matter of minutes to hours. It can also replace factories and human labour. Afterwards, most things would be based more on its size rather than its quality because the smaller it is, the simpler and easier it is to make.

Wiki is a website or a resourceful forum or so which lets anyone edit, add, or delete things to it. Wikipedia is a very complex encyclopedia. It has diverse factors that decides whether its accurate or not. It allows documents to be written collectively in a simple language using just a web browser. Wiki can be defined as “what I know is” in acronym, which describes the knowledge contribution, exchange function, and storage. The word wiki can also point out to the join software itself, the wiki engine, that it facilitates the operation of such a Web site. or another site that has been implied, including sites like Wikipedia. There are many sites like Wikipedia that support wiki but are not as good as it. Professional Encyclopedias do not get updated frequently because it is a book;however, its written by professionals. Professional Encyclopedias are not 100% accurate in some areas because the authors are not totally sure of that subject. Wikipedia has people from all over the world so even the most hidden secret can be exploited. It also has links on the bottom which can lead to further instigation of the subject the user is looking for. In a professional encyclopedia, there is nothing after the subject; the person must search for himself what he needs. Professional Encyclopedias also lack subject matters. It does not have as many things Wikipedia has such as modern information on matters like games. Wikipedia has pretty much every detail of every item of everything. Then the subject rises of bias in WIkipedia. There are numerous articles that are blocked to be edited due to the bias and things people write. The article on George Bush is one of those articles that is blocked because it gets edited so much with so much bias and it is not accurate. Most of the information on Wikipedia is very bias because it is written by normal people instead of professionals. It has loads of opinions and lies on some political topics because many things are either insulted or recognized a whole lot. Information on movies and songs are also bias because people write what they feel like. A encyclopedia is supposed to be pure facts and no opinions at all. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and that is not a safe option. People can accuse other people of doing things they never did and if the information goes in the wrong hands, conflicts can easily rise. Information can also be misleading sometimes. Biographies are sometimes misleading immensely. If the author of the article does not like the person they are writing about, they might put in some extra opinions of their own. On the positive side, blocked articles do not have a lot of opinions because they have been thoroughly edited by authorized people. Sometimes, good people edit articles and they are not bias. They tell straight forward facts and they rectify other false information. Wikipedia is probably going to gain more bias throughout the future because people edit more things everyday and it is likely it might just become a primary source of knowledge.

What’s new in the oil industry? The national average gas price is nearly $3.18. As gas prices continue to rise at a steady pace, and salaries remain the same, the problem comes down to less consumption. If people, don’t have the incentive to go out, and spend money, they simply won’t, thus, slowing the economy.

How are gas prices scaring off shoppers?

As gas prices keep going up the roof, people just spend less on other things. People are cutting back behind the wheel, eating more at home, and spending as less as they can. This is really causing the economy to slow down, because we consumers are the ones who decide the fate of the economy. We need people to go out there, and just help boost the economy, but with rising gas prices it is just not possible.

What are the expectations of gas prices, and the economy?

The future expectations of gas prices is just to increase as high as the national average upto $3.45 +. Due to such high gas prices, the economy is suffering a lower consumption, and declining in sales in many sectors of the market, including the service market. Also, the rising gas prices cause the prices of many goods to go up such as juice, milk, since transportation got more expensive.  This happened because U.S gas inventories dropped by 34 million barrels.
