BP Oil Spill Update

In case you haven’t heard, the BP Oil Spill really did happen. Thousands of people are still suffering because of massive amounts of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. Even though the major news media found the story a bit boring once the leak was actually plugged, it’s important that we continue to keep ourselves updated on what’s going on in the Gulf.

Solutions for Future Spills

Although a moratorium was enacted to disable new deepwater oil rigs, it may be lifted even before we have come up with an actual solution to deepwater oil spills. Exxon Mobil Inc.… Continue reading

Quick Fix Your ‘New Twitter’ Account

If you have tried to experience the New Twitter only to find that it has frozen your account and locked you in to a blank screen, you are not alone. Here is an example of what I am talking about:

‘The Social Network’ – 1st World Reviews

At this point, those of you who saw David Fincher’s “The Social Network” did so because you knew it was about the guy who made Facebook.
