Wii Will Miss You

Headline: Nintendo Wii moves towards retirement

Say Goodbye to the Wii. Nintendo Co. Ltd said they plan to replace the Wii with a new system in 2012 and it will be shown at the E3 Expo in LA from June 7 to 9th so you can see what it is. The company is going to reveal more information about the new gaming system at that time. I'm shocked because the Wii has done really good... they sold 86 million systems. But, maybe the XBOX beat it out or something I don't know. They are giving themselves the rest of this year, and a few months next year. But, i guess we'll just have to see..

Vegan Magazine Caught with Meat?

Vegan Promoter Uses Photos of Meat and Dairy Items, and Fury Follows

http://www.nytimes.com/

It has recently been reported that VegNews, a vegetarian lifestyle magazine, was caught using pictures of food which contain meat and dairy to go together with vegan articles. Magazine readers are furious after finding out the news and feel as if craving the meals that appeared in the images now make them feel as if they had craved meat. In order to make the pictures appear meat-free, editors admitted to digitally airbrushing out the visible bones. Publishers apologized for the images and said that the magazine will now publish nothing other than vegan photography. Also after giving their word, they don't feel as if they will lose subscribers over the incident.

Although I am nor vegan or vegetarian, reading this articles still extremely irritates me! These poor readers thinking the images are 100% vegan only to discover that the food in the pictures contain either meat or dairy must make them feel horrible for wanting such meals. They can't be blamed though, they had no idea. I feel as if the magazine should have to suffer more than it had considering its readers were awfully upset over the event but that's just me!

Skepticism Streams About Obama’s Birthplace

Obama has served nearly a full term as our president, yet critics are still questioning if he was born in America. There have been numerous investigations to prove Obama was born in Hawaii, making him a rightful candidate for presidency. However, people still believe he was born in Kenya, which is the location of his father’s home. Donald Trump who may be a running candidate for the 2012 election has displayed his own concern about the issue. Trump along with other republicans do not accept he was born in the United States. Many sources such as Stig Waidelich, Dan Nakaso, Neil Abercrombie, and Alice Dewey have reported some evidence/recollections that Obama was clearly born in America. Those who doubt Obama would like to see his vaulted birth certificate, but the likelyhood of that being advertised is slim. On a personal note, I don’t think Obama will show his birth certificate just to seize the crowd. He is being a strong leader and is focusing his time on more important issues needed to get America back on its feet.

Superbus

Super-fast 'Superbus' could transform your commute

The superbus could be your new way of getting places. It's 15 meters long(50 feet) and it's capable of holding 23 passengers with a top speed of 155 mph. So, it's kind of like a subway.. but a lot faster. It's like a normal bus it can drive anywhere at anytime. They had a protype in 2011 but they have been working on it since 2004. I'm not exactly sure about it being an actual thing in the US but we will just have to find out. So, this is what the 21st centrury looks like no flying cars yet, just superbuses.

Student killed as friend watches via webcam

Quian Liu, a 23-yearold exchange student from Beijing, was attacked in her Toronto apartment on Friday. She was talking to a friend on her laptop webcam when a man knocked on her door and asked to use her phone. The man then attacked her as her friend watched helplessly from Beijing. Police arrived ten hours later and found her dead, naked from the waist down, and her laptop was missing. There were no obvious signs of sexual assault or severe trauma, but police are still investigating.

This story makes me sick. I feel for the friend who had to watch his friend being attacked, without being able to help. I also feel so bad for the girl because she was unexpectedly attacked, so far away from home! She had no one to help her! I really want to know if she knew the man who attacked her, and that guy better get caught!

Knit Your Own!

http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/world/20110419_ap_royalknittingbookhaswillsandkateinstitches.html?c=r

It's pretty awesome that you can knit your very own Royal Wedding. You can knit William and Kate, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Harry, the Archbishop Canterbury and even one of the queen's corgi dogs :) I think it's a really unique idea for creating a stitch by stitch guide that creates a royal wedding. The book has sold over 50,000 copies so far. Also, if you can't knit, they have coloring books, paper dolls and a "William and Kate Dress-Up Dolly Book" available.
