The $50 earthquake alarm that could save thousands of lives.

In September 1985 a devastating earthquake measuring 8.1 on the Richter Scale smashed into Mexico City killing 10,000 people and leaving parts of the city in ruins.

Since then, the populous Latin American nation of 122 million has invested in one of the most advanced seismic warning systems anywhere in the world.

The SASMEX facility has put in thousands of sensors all along Mexico's Pacific Ocean border.
You can now buy the reactor for about $50.
This can save several thousands of lives, even though it is in its prototype phase of creation.

Is the iPhone 6 three years too late?

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak thinks they should have made a giant iPhone much sooner.

"Apple could have had a much bigger share of the smartphone market if it had a larger-screen iPhone for the past three years," Wozniak told CNNMoney.

Samsung's 24% share of the smartphone market doubled Apple's 12% in the third quarter, according to tech consultancy IDC. Until the much bigger iPhone 6 hit store shelves in September.

Wiki Research 11/13

English class is a great class to use the wiki program. I say this not only because it is convenient but also because this program can also be used to peer edit. I would have to say that the benefits of using this in class would have to be that anyone can edit your paper or leave comments regarding your paper. Instead of using Blogger we can use wikis because this is definitely more interactive, and it also encourages more people to give their opinion. My experiences with wiki has been overall pretty good. I do not have any major concerns whatsoever. I think using this program can be great for a classroom.
