Since the discovery of the Tuatara reptile, scientist have been puzzled at how the lizard has been adapting to the changing environments over the past 200 million years. Scientists have discovered that the lizard chews like a saw instead of the up and down like most other animals.
This is very cool, imagine chewing your steak like your sawing it up. Humans need to adapt this aspect.

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms at 30
http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/article/1162615--canadian-charter-of-rights-and-freedoms-at-30
Thirty years ago on April 17, 1982. Queen Elizabeth proclaimed in force the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A key element of the new Constitution Act. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has been a national help but has also been apposed by other federal parties as well. The Canadian Charter supports many different levels of life such as abortion, same sex marriage and many more. The Charter has done much more good than bad, and will hopefully continue to do more good.
Yes I think the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is very important to the way we Canadian citizens live, and I fully support it in the way it runs.

Google patents its augmented reality Project Glass
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18091697
The search giant Google has patented the technology behind its argumented-reality glasses, know as Project glass. These new "wearable display glasses" are able to display data in front of the users, and is also able to project audio. Besides displaying information about the users surroundings, the glasses in a demo (Google released) shows being able to communicate with other people, browse the web, listen to music, and also take photos.
These glasses seem pretty cool, but also seem to be able to do the same things as a smart phone today can do. These glasses also appear to not be the most stylish thing to wear on your body, and the good thing about the smart phone is that you don't have to wear it.

Spanish general strike protesters clash with police
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17545174
On March 29 2012, 800,000 protesters, have taken place in a massive protest in Barcelona. Marchers in Barcelona, have been smashing windows and setting garbage bins on fire. Police have responded with tear gas and baton charges. The Prime minister will unveil measures on Friday aimed to save the billions of euros and making it easier for business to sack employees. It hopes the changes will cut unemployment which is currently the highest in the EU at 23%. Nearly half of Spain's under 25's are out of jobs.
The recession is affecting everyone, and not in a good way. Its causing hate around the world with people protesting and what not. Sure they have a right to protest, but they don't have a right to do it as violently as they do.

Blackberry-maker RIM reports $125m loss
The Canadian company RIM, made a net loss for the three months to 3 March of $125m compared with the with a profit of $935m a year earlier. Revenues fell to $4.2bn from $5.2bn. RIM also announced the resignation of former co-chief executive Jim Balsillie. Cheif technology officer David Yacht will also be stepping down.
Shares sharply fell 9% in after hours trading. Over all the shares have fallen by 80% in the last year. Shipments of \Blackberry products have fallen as much as 21% since the last 3 month period. For a full financial year Blackberry made a net profit of $1.2bn from the $3.4bn the last year.
To me... Blackberry has had their time, and just can't keep up with the new innovations. That's the trouble with this market. Everyone has a chance at being on top, and in my mind Apple has taken that spot. But should watch out for the rising android.

Apple unveils new IPad with high-definition screen.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17292424
Apple has unveiled its new IPad with a high-definition screen. It is said that the new resolution is 2,048 by 1,536 pixels. Also it has the new A5X chip which improves graphics. Critics are saying that apple may be dominating the market at the money but should be watchful, for a new fresh challenge is coming down the pipe with a new line of tablets coming out running on the new windows 8 program. The new IPad didn't just come with a brand new display but now has 5 mega pixel camera sensor, and runs the 4G LTE network, and can work as a wi-fi hotspot for other devices. The new IPad is also slightly thicker than the IPad. The new IPad is 9.4mm compared to the 2 that is 8.8mm.The price will be starting at 399 pounds to 650 pounds for the 4G IPad.
I think apple has run out of ideas, they are just simply 'milking the cow.' All apple is doing now is just making better displays and higher quality cameras. They are not actually coming out with new ideas. Look at android and now Microsoft. In my mind they are now the future. Apple's layout has been the same for as long as I can remember. Now Microsoft coming out with Windows 8 has totally redesign and look. Android is coming out with new phones all the time and just released Android ice cream sandwich, totally redesigned their outlook. Looking at Apple's new IPad, I would only suggest it to Apple addicts.
