Cyber Monday

The internet's version of black friday is now officially deemed cyber monday. This year it was estimated that the internet sales drew in more than $52 billion. Considering last year's profits-only$200 million. Since the economy slipped,many people just really needed to find the best deals out there for Christmas this year.

Black Friday

Many people with the idead in their mind were looking towards the sales going on on black friday. A ton of places opened at midnight on Thanksgiving to up their competition. Although a lot places were opened there seemed to be a lot less violence than in past years. There was only one incidence at a Walmart in California where a young woman got trampled. For the most part, I would say this year's black friday has been one of the most successful shopping days in awhile.

Bank of America

Bank of America wanted to put a $5 fee charge when using their debit cards. Today, they took out the fee charge because so many people changed their accounts with them. Another reason they stopped charging the fee is because there was a petition signed by over 200,000 people to get rid of the fee.

German Satelitte

A satellite from Germany has crashed from it's almost 10 years up in space. Before the satelitte crashed, it was circling the earth every 90 minutes, so it was not expected to crash anytime soon. Some are concerned that the next satelitte will land in a populated area where it might hurt people, so they are being very strict on locating each and every satelitte they send out. Scienctists predicted that it landed somewhere as far as China but as close as the Indian coast. Although, they have not confirmed that whereabouts, they are determined to find it the ocean sometime later this week.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is the reason we have the all the amazing gadgets like the iPod and the iPhone. Sadly, he passed away after battling cancer for over 6 years. Steve Jobs was looked to as the Albert  Einstein of our time. He had a vision of what Apple would be like in the future when everyone else thought he was crazy. He has been working for Apple since the late 70's but got fired later on. As he said in one of his speech's, "Find what you love to do the most and stick with it". So, he followed his own dream. He stayed in the technology industry and worked for the companies Next and Pixar,where he would meet his future wife, and eventually got another opportunity to work at Apple again. Steve Jobs was an amazing man whether he was fighting a cancer battle or creating the best technology anyone has ever known.

Stock market hackers

It was said that the a group of anonymous people will hack into the stock market on Monday, October 10 around 3:30 pm. They have no motivation for doing it other than to just mess with the stock market and say they deleted it from the internet. While the F.B.I. is investigating the case they still have no idea who this group is or why anyone would want to delete the stock market. Some think it could be a possible terrorist attack, but over the internet.
