Second Life - Fantasy Life At It's Full Potential For those who may not know : Second Life is a game.
An MMO RPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that has massed up a popularity level as well as user level beyond most expectations that were given to its very idea at first creation. The game brings your fantasies to life by allowing the user to explore,build, and even fly to distant worlds and lands. Full player customization's can be done with common controls and commands in the menus, from head to toe, and even from the fabric of your clothes to the texture and color of your hair. The game boomed when it was first developed with over 15 million + users signing up for second life. The popularity of the game has seemed to have taken a small decrease over time with only having an estimated 68,000 users signed in at one time.

Sad to say even I have had difficulty using the complex controls and commands given on this game.Second life is right at this moment being used for research in schools for future development classes and courses. It's also being used to make economic transactions,virtually and in everyday reality. Some are actually making a steady income on what the game has to offer. As far as potential, I believe that the potential for this game is exponential and boundless if the right users get their hands on this program. Only a few make a million dollars because only a few a way to make it flow. I believe second life will one day make future millionaires.

Android VS. Iphone - Android's Win Streak It is true that many skeptics and critics claimed that android technology, by Google, would not make it far. Well now, it is also fact that Android is taking over the industry not only slowly,but very much surely.
New data from Nielsen states affirms that smart-phones programmed with Google’s Android operating system outsold those of Apple’s iOS in 2010 by a margin of 27% to 23% of the US market. (http://mashable.com/2010/08/02/android-outselling-iphone-2/ - link) This trend is exciting for a few reasons. One being one of the most exciting races towards the title of "best cellular technology" in the present era. Another, watching the incredible growth and drastic changes constantly made through all new innovative planning and ideas in both companies. As for what maybe the most interesting of it all,is the remarkable growth Google's Android technology( which may I remind you,is only a few years old) has begun to over-run what Apple has taken years to accomplish.
