Sublaptops: Better or Worse Than the Regular?

Link to article: http://tech.msn.com/guides/holidaytech/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=11884513>1=40002

What is it about?: There are new laptops: sublaptops. They're almost the same as the other ones but the questions is are they better?

Positives about the mini laptops:
+ Lower price
+ Smaller and easier to carry

Negetives:
- The screen may be a bit too small for certain people
- There's not as much space
- The battery life might be much to less

Positives about laptops:
+ They have a big screen
+ More space
+ More battery life

Negetives:
- The price
- not very portable

So over all, which one is better?

My opinion:
If you need the whole package(space, long battery and things like that) the laptop might be better. If you need a laptop without a big reason(me) you should get the sublaptop. It really depends on the person and their reason

symbiotic relationships

What Are Symbiotic Relationships?:
Symbiotic relationships are a relationship between two living organism in nature. There are three types of symbiotic relationships. One of which is mutualism where both the organisms benefit. For an example a bug-eating bird and a tree, because the bird eats the bugs and saves the tree from being harmed and the bird gets food. The second relationship is commensalism where two organism have a relationship where one benefits and the other is not harmed. One example is barnacles and whales. The barnacles get a place to live, while the wale doesn't even notice them. The third and the last type of symbiosis is, parasitism. Parasitism is when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. An example of parasitism is dogs and fleas, the fleas get food and a living space, while the dog gets really annoyed by them. Those are all three types of symiosis.

Smart Board Owns the White Boards!

News: My science teacher got a smart board. For those who don't know, a smart board is a like a white board except you can hook your computer up to it. You can draw on it, and do a lot more things with it.

My Opinion: Yay! Now its going to be easier for her to teach, and its fun to play with the smart board, its really cool. And that's what every body else thinks too. We get to draw on it, and do stuff on the computer with it. Its more fun and more easy. For those who can't see on the the T.V. because of the glare we can see it clearly now.
I think that over all this is really good.

H.A.L(hybrid assistive limb)

Interesting article found:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27066773/wid/11915829/

What is it about:
H.A.L or hybrid assistive limb. Its a robotic suit that helps paralyzed people or old people that have trouble walking. It will be released this Friday(10/10/08). The robot suite is created by Hyperdyne a Japanese company. Yoshiyuki Sankai invented H.A.L. At the moment it will only be rented, the company did not say what the cost was. The suit is available in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

My Opinion
:This is really good. People should invent more things like this instead of coming up with weird thing like color changing orb dresses which really don't help the human society. This how ever will help alot, now people don't have to be pushed around in wheel chairs or be assisted everywhere, the can do thing themselves. The invention is really helpful.
