1)Like I said in HW2, I still want to write about how internet is affecting our lives.
-Lives before 1991(WWW was founded)
-Lives after 1991
-Advantages of Internet
     -You can do everything online when you are sitting down in your bed.
     - Saves a lot of money
          - Reading newpapers online
          - Gas Money
          - Shop cheaper on websites like eBay, Amazon

-Disadvantages of Internet
      - How lazy it makes us
      - How unsocial it makes us
      - Increase in obese population.

- The Ethics Commission is checking the Lime Rock Fire Chief Frank Sylvester's practice of paying vehicle taxes in Lincoln, where he works, instead of Pawtucket, where he lives.
- The car tax in Lincoln is quiet a bit lower than in Pawtucket, and he saves an estimated $2,300 a year with the out-of-town registration.
- He's been chief in Lime Rock in Lincoln for more than 20 years, and he worked more than 20 years in Pawtucket;s fire department before that.
- He makes around $140,000 a year.
-The city of Pawtucket picks up trash at Sylvester's house, and even though the owner has three registered cars, the city gets no car taxes from him to help pay for services because he lists the Lime Rock fire station in Lincoln, where he's chief, as his residence.

1) Emailed it
2) I want to discuss about how internet made us unsocial. Yes, the internet is a great thing. you can do everything online but no one can say it didnt make us lazy or unsocial. Average people use internet for 13 hours a week(http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10421016-93.html). That means in 50 years an average person is going to be on internet for 3.86 years. You can shop, take online class... People used to go out and shop by looking at the prices and buy the cheapest, but now people you can find the cheapest online with one click. Childhood obesity has tripled since 1970. We can stop this by being on the internet less and doing some stuff socially

iOS developers make more money than Android app developers.
Android App Developers have been surveyed by  The Yankee Group(consultancy) and Skyhook wireless(suing Google for excluding its geolocation system from Android devices).
33& say the damage is more than 10,000 annually.
License Validation Library shows the developers if the app is acquired legit or not. It is provided by Google, but developers say it is easy to defeat.
Android App maker SmartDyne and David Keyes from KeyesLabel suggested that they need a license key policy based on accounts and/or device IDs, but the thing is this would make apps more expensive.Google didnt respond to this comment yet.

Are ethics and the law the same or different?

-PG-13 movies, officially allowed one non-sexual "f***" per script, are using the allotment.
-"Filmmakers are certainly using it more often, taking advantage of it" says Joan Graves,head of the Motion Picture Association of America's Classification and Rating Administration.
-Before the adoption of the PG-13 rating in 1984, profanity would periodically pop up in Pg movies.(Beetlejuice sneaked in the word and still secured a PG rating.
- The MPAA's Classification and Rating Administration's guidelines state:"A motion picture's single use of one of the harsher sexually derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context."
- MPAA's guidelines then add that if two-thirds of the rating board members believe that the word is used more than once in a legitimate "context or manner" or as to be "inconspicuous," then the movie could still be rated PG-13.
-The Social Network, The Tourist, The Adjustment Bureau, Iron Man 2 and Wall Street:Money Never Sleeps to recent films used "f***" more than once and still secured PG-13.ratings.
