RunPee provides the best windows for running to the restroom and even fills you in on what you've missed.

RunPee spells relief for movie freaks.

It's best not to watch that freaky, edge-of-your-seat scary flick with a full bladder. Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to miss a key scene (or screw it up for your aisle-mates) when you dashed to the bathroom?

No need to fear however, there's an app for that.

It's called RunPee.What the app does is let you know the best times during a film to go to the restroom. It identifies the best windows to run to the restroom without missing  important moments. RunPee will even vibrate in your pocket to let you know when one of the relief windows is about to start, and fills you in on what you've missed when you're done.So basically now you can have that extra large soda you always crave at the movies , without missing key parts!!!

My Opinion: I think its a good idea but I think it shows how extremely lazy and spoiled our nation has become. I feel like every question I ask, It is replied,''Oh, Wait, There's an app for that."

Hello, welcome to my amazing blog. My blog will consist of amazing stuff. Please stay tuned  for posts almost as funny as this video....

Wiki Research

1. A class wiki could be used for educational purposes by more people can work on the same thing at the same time and share ideas. This could help for projects, reports exc.)

2. A benefit of using wiki could be multi-people friendly meaning multiple people can go on and edit at the same time

3. Our class can use a wiki by working in groups, and doing a huge project together, at the same time.

4. I don't have any experience creating wikis,but when i went on Wikipedia, it was very devious, in my opinion.

Stunning meteor showers light up California sky

Recently, in Oakland, California, streaking fireballs lighting up California skies and stunning stargazers are all put of a MAJOR meteor shower, but the show is just getting started, says observers.

It crashed through the earth's atmosphere, ''setting the air on fire in its wake," Jonathan Braidman said.National Weather Service forecaster Steve Anderson tells the Tribune that warm temperatures and cloud-free skies are making the bright lights more visible, a phenomenon that should only increase as the weekend approaches and the shower continues.

The fireballs are part of the large, fast Orionid meteor shower, so-named because it has the Orion constellation as a backdrop.

I was able to find an interesting but delayed video on this sight. It will explain how it came from Hailey's Comet.

My Opinion: I found this very interesting and after I watched this video, I thought to myself, ''WOW, I wish I lived in California, and not to mention, WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO LAGGY!!!!

                            New iPhone 5 Case Offers to Fix
                             Purple Flares 

An iPhone case maker has come up with a new design that offers to keep stray light from creating purple halos in photos and videos.





Fotodiox, an Illinois-based company, has a new cover out called the camHoodie ($24.95) that promises to "greatly reduce purple lens flare."
There's no magic so don't worry, just a piece of rubber that acts as a lens  to keep stray light from coming in. It's held on by a case designed to keep the back and sides of the phone from getting damaged.As you can see in the picture above there is a picture of an iPhone 5 with the case and a photo taken by an iPhone 5 without camHoodie. If you look below you can see a picture with the case on.

Another example on the camera difference in video.





My Opinion~ i like this product because I have the same problem and I like the idea.

Curiosity rover pauses to                        get the scoop on Mars

NASA's mars rover has paused to collect soil on fine-grained sand dunes. After creeping near 500 yards across the rocky floor of Gale Crater on the way to an interesting intersection of different terrain, the Mars Curiosity rover is pausing for a few weeks to scoop up soil and run it through the vehicle's sample acquisition system to clean out any lingering traces of Earth's environment.

After three such "rinse and repeat" cycles, a scoop on the end of the rover's robot arm will deposit small samples into itself. A machine will use X-ray's to identify the minerals in a sample. But first, all traces of Earth's environment must be cleaned away to eliminate any chance of contaminating a Mars sample.   

My Opinion: I think it is pretty cool that the curiosity rover can do this work. This makes astronauts lives much safer and easier. I can't wait to see what it finds.
