Words With Friends
Words with friends, from different people's perspective, is extremely addicting. It can be compared to the game, Angry Birds. People spend hours a day on their phone, and most of that time, is playing those two games. Almost everyone with a smart-phone, or iPod Touch has these two games. Angry Birds, Words with Friends, and Facebook are the most downloaded apps on cell phones, and iPods. To be honest, Angry Birds is addicting, but it can also be very boring and frustrating. Words with friends, I have never played but from what I have heard is exactly like scrabble, except its an app, and you have to sign up.

Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming. Alice allows students to learn fundamental programming concepts in the context of creating animated movies and simple video games. To sum it all up, Alice is basically your own little virtual world where you can make your people or animals do anything, as well as set your town up the way you want.

V for Vendetta Questions
- Guy Fawkes was one of the members of The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 in which a group of Catholics attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill James I, the King of England, to protest Protestant rule.
- For every person V kills, he leaves a rose as a calling.
- V really doesn't have any powers, he just goes around and claims he's making the country a better place by killing all these people. All the people that V kills, all have an important part in the government.
- The Resistance Movement was suppose to be a non-violent protest, but there were points of the protest where the protest would get out of hand and the police had to step in.
- One movement that is happening right now in our society is the Occupy Movement. The Occupy Movement is going on all across the United States, and at points can be very violent even causing some people to die. Another huge movement, which happened way back was the Civil Rights movement which followed World War II, which inspired and propelled forward all of the oppositional and liberation movements of the 1960s and ‘70s.
- V has knight armor which he practices his fencing on. He also has a room with a bed, and in that room there are many books from the past.
- V's favorite movie is the Count of Monte Christo.
- The breakfast with the egg and toast is really simple. You cut a hole into the piece of toast, then you pour the egg into the hole in the toast, and fry it.
- The movie is based in future England.
- V doesn't really have a sidekick besides Evey.
- To me, the best part of the movie was when all of the V faces walked right through the entire army.
- V is not like today's society, although if some country's, maybe even the US, don't get their act together, that is what it will be like.

V For Vendetta
V for Vendetta is one of those movies where when you look at the previews and look at the pictures of the mask, or movie itself, you think you're going to get scared while watching the movie. It's actually not like that at all. In the movie, yes, the mask and costume is creepy, but about 15 to 20 minutes in to the movie, you get used to it.
I would give this movie 4 out of 5 stars because everything about is is great, graphics, scenery, and the acting is great. But in my opinion there should be a little more of a twist at the end, rather than him just dying and blowing everything up.

Censorship
Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body. Censorship is always on TV, mainly reality TV. But some channels keep the bad language, violence, and nudity. Most channels like to block everything out because young kids, or teens watch it. Censorship rarely happens in movies though. My opinion on it is simple, censorship is just another stupid rule that keeps people from seeing other things, when some of the things that are censored should not be because it is what happens in real life, and kids need to see what that will be like when they are older.

Cloud Computing
Cloud computing provides computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. Parallel to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, where end users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service. It describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on Internet protocols, and it typically involves provisioning of dynamically stable and often virtuilized resources.

The Best Halloween Pranks
One of the best Halloween pranks, it is a classic, is when you lay on your lawn for when kids come to get candy, and the kids think that you are a scarecrow, or just another Halloween decoration on the lawn. When the kids start to walk back from the house, you jump up. and they will freak out and scream.
