Today, a mother of six was so addicted to playing farmville the facebook game, she neglected her six kids and left them alone in the house with no food. The children lived in filth and animal waster, all six of the children were under 11 years old. They had nothing to eat, the husband had to call social services in to get the children. The husband tried to help the children but it was to overwhelming for him. Being addicted to a game has its limits, you should know where to stop and where to continue from this was just downright unacceptable. The mother has lost custody of the children and the mother has been charged with neglect. There should be a specific cut off point for a game, as if it was parental control and there was some type of timer for certain games where it would cut off. A cut off would be helpful, but be a major problem to gamers who have the ability to control themselves.

IBM's good friend Watson has recently played a game of Jeopardy and has the ability to win at every single question with out a hiccup in the system. Watson was leading with $5500 while they other two human competors where about $2000 behind be advised though, this is not just the basic Jeopardy, this is the Jeopardy Champions game which shows that a computer has the ability to win but one thing that is a bit scary is that Watson, has the ability to analyze voice stress and then give a emotion based off of what is said to the word Watson. If something funny is said the icon of a smile will be depicted on the face based on the mood.  This is a bit to advanced for computer for the fact that the book R.U.R is a bit of a reference I am trying to get at.

Apple CEO's Steve Job has been granted a medical leave from the board of directors from Apple. Now, when this happens this means that Apple's stock will go down and down until they find out that Steve Jobs has not gone into a serious medical condition and then the stock will usually go back up. This is the trend that Apple has set with its traders. Jobs, has the most influential power as a CEO to make or break Apple just like Facebook's Zukerburg the ability to destroy a company with in a day is very believable.

A group of crazy gamers have come up with the idea to raid a medical center and use the server and the internet to host a call of duty server to satisfy their needs. The problem is that the medical server that they have taken, belonged to a Radiology Center and within the data of the harddrive, they have the ability to access all the Social Security numbers they want from patients but there is a way to tell if there was misuse of the server to gain information. The raiders have not used the information and just wanted to satisfy their needs of hosting a call of duty game.

Intel workers are even more happy than they were when they had gotten their pay. They found out that their paycheck had about four times the amount that was on it.  Intel's Q4 earnings were a lot more then they were expected. Intel's newly developed processor base codenamed "Sandy Bridge", had a much higher performance at a lower cost than Intel's Core i7 Extreme editions that were about $1000. AMD, said that when Intel has speed and power their price goes up and that is very true. AMD's gaming processor lines called the Phenom, are about to release their third generation to combat the Sandy Bridge processors.

Today, a macbook was stolen from professors from the University of Oklahoma. The Professors have put up a $1000 reward to getting the notebook back and no questions asked by the police and no arrest. The special thing about this notebook, is that it has vital research into finding a cure to prostate cancer or the ability to supress it. The ability to prevent or stop the cancer cells is very vital but the bad side is, that it is missing and they never saved the information anywhere else so all information is lost if it had to come down to it. A save should had been made to recover all the data but it happens when no save was made, no dyn dns reoverey hack here to get all the information back.

At the CES today, a biomedical lab announced that ability to multiply the power of a humands stength the ability to have that type of power would be crazy but also giving people giving the ability to multiply their strength would be chaing with the ability of a exoskeleton making people able to walk when they were not able to.  The crazy and a bit frightening about this exoskeleton, is that ability to think on its own and move by itself without  anyone controlling it only the legs of the exoskeleton work with out human control, but the ability for it to move and them having the ability to multiplay their strenght is a bit of a robot takeover.

The Consumer Electronics Show starts with in two days and the unveiling of new processors and electronics that makes you job or a task easier will be shown. Looking back 50 years from 2011, is 1961 and the tech. back then was not so grant. Most things today are taken for granted while 50 years ago they would not even have this. The Air Force has made their first computer that had the ability to do simple math and today the amount of things that can be done on a computer is enourmous while there are simple progams that are used for everyday jobs, some things are used for scientist that can show what to do.
