Tech Week- Ipod Touch 4

The Ipod Touch 4 came out September 8,2010. The newer version of the ipod touch has one new feature and that is a camera. The camera takes pictures and videos, the new ipod is also much small and slimmer then all of the older ipods. A new great feature that is part of the ipod touch 4 is also that it has facetime. Facetime alows you to make video calls to other people. The phone also icludes something called retina display, which is makes all of your pictures and videos look even better then any of the cameras on the iphones. The ipod 4 is also said to make much better gaming, that is because now you can play games online against anyone is the world which you also couldnt do before. Overall the ipod 4 seems like a great creation.

US History!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is a painting of the real Pocahontas and explorer John Smith,
as you can tell very different from the Disney movie!

US History!!!!!!!!!!!

In US History we are learning about the real Pocahontas. We are learning about her and the explorer. We actually learn that in real life Pocahontas is much more different than the Disney movie itself, an example is that Pocahontas is actually only 13 but she seems much older in the movie. I really enjoyed learning about her, here is a youtube video to the trailer for Pocahontas the Disney movie.

Weekend.

This weekend , on Saturday morning the entire volleyball team went to a Volleyball Tournament in William Paterson University to support the varsity volleyball team. We were there from 7:30 am till 3:00 pm. There was about ten teams that they played against and although all of the teams were very good, the varsity team played so well that they got second place and came neck in neck with the other team but at the end of the game they scored a few more points than us. I was really proud of all of the girls on our team because they all played so well. The volleyball team coach for William Paterson was also there with the entire team which has a girl on the team that is a WRHS alumni,here is a link for their website. William Paterson Volleyball

Blackberry Torch

The wireless company AT&T has released the Blackberry Torch 9800, on Aug. 12, and cost $199 with a two-year contract with AT&T. The phone uses RIM's new Operating System 6, which includes a badly needed re-do of the BlackBerry Web browser, which is painfully slow and frustrating to use. The new browser is called the Torch Mobile browser. It is based on WebKit, the same engine used by Apple and Google. The Torch, has a qwerty keyboard and a touch-screen keyboard . It has a 3.2-inch, 360-by-480 capacitive touch-screen display. The phone, with Wi-Fi, has pinch-to-zoom on the touchscreen, something the iPhone and other devices already feature. It also has a 5-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, as well as "environment" settings. The camera names pictures by location. The Blackberry Torch 9800 overall seems like a pretty good phone except for the internet issue because that does cause many problems for any of the people that are using it.
