              It appears the text message bug that can force a reboot of the iPhone doesn't just work through the device's native messaging app.According to The Guardian, the same string of characters popping up on notifications from social network Twitter and messaging app Snapchat will shut down the app and cause a reboot.On Twitter, the bug is trigged through a public mention or direct message, says the report, but seems to have no other bad affects.                The issue surfaced earlier this week following reports that a specific set of characters within a text message could shut down the Messages app and force a reboot of the phone. Apple says the problem is caused by "a specific series of unicode characters." A fix is expected in the next software update. Meanwhile, Apple is offering ways to reopen the Messages app on a recently published support page. Users can ask Siri to read and reply to messages. Once the app is opened, users can then delete the thread.ugh

I suscribed to these sites because I like music and concerts so I think it'd be interesting to get updates on new bands and interveiws and stuff. I also suscribed to the weather websites so I know what to wear and what it's gonna be like outside. 

I think it was easy to find them and suscribe for the most part. There was  a few websites I didn't know how to get the rss for.

My favorite site was the music news because it told me what new interveiws and concerts to look forward to.

You can use RSS feeds to get updates on things your interested in.

Most likely I'll use RSS feeds in the future.

                I think that people shouldn't be allowed to be homophobic, racist, or sexist. I understand that people should have their own opinions, but there are somethings that shouldn't be allowed. Keep your opinion to yourself if it involves hurting other people. I think that being sexist isn't "something your raised with" because if that was the case then everyone would believe the same thing. If that was the case I would believe in the bible. I don't really understand why people are racist because there's not really a difference between black and white people besides skin. I think that "sexist" shouldn't be a thing. Regardless if your a male or a female, that shouldn't limit the things you want to do. You should be able to do whatever you want with out anybodies imput because it's your life not thiers. I honestly believe that if there wasn't homophobes or sexist or racist people, the world would be a lot happier.
               My goals fulfill my needs because I want see equality. That satisfys me alone. Obviously that contributes to the community as well. It helps people who are gay or black. It helps support women and our rights. I feel like people need to learn how to accept the fact that people are slowly getting used to all of this. I also believe that people need to educate themselves a little more on how the human mind functions because they don't realize that you can't control the color of your skin. You can't control who you fall in love with. And if your a women and you want to have a profession that normally a male would have, then you should be allowed to without anybodies say in that.

Self-Driving Car Accident

           Four out of the 48 self-driving cars on public roads in California have been involved in accidents in the last eight months, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.The agency began issuing permits for the testing of autonomous vehicles in September 2014. Three of the four cars belonged to Google, the fourth to parts supplier Delphi. Both firms denied their vehicles had been at fault. Under Californian law, details of car accidents remain confidential. However, Google said its driverless cars had never been the cause of an accident, and that the majority of "minor fender-benders" had been in the form of rear-end collisions from other drivers. "Safety is our highest priority. Since the start of our programme six years ago, we've driven nearly a million miles autonomously, on both freeways and city streets, without causing a single accident," said a spokesperson.

   If I had a day to be invisible I can't even tell you how many things I'd do. I'd probably go to the mall and steal and do something nice for myself. I'd steal a ton of books and clothes from Urban and Barn& Nobles. I'd also go to forever 21 and get stuff too. I'd go to hot topic and steal a ton of CDs and records.  I would also go to peoples houses and mess around to freak them out.
   If I had to do something nice for someone I'd steal them food because my friends like food. I would also go to my classes and while my teacher wasnt looking I'd change my grades and my friend's grades. I'd also probably mess aorund with the teachers.

T-Mobile woos Verizon customers by offering phones with free trials

     T-Mobile is going directly after Verizon subscribers in its latest attempt to win over more customers from the competition. Starting May 13, T-Mobile will introduce a campaign dubbed "Never Settle," the carrier announced on Tuesday. And here's how it works: Verizon subscribers can port their existing phone number to a T-Mobile phone, which they can use for free for up to 14 days. After the 14-day trial, customers who decide to stick with Verizon can return the T-Mobile phone. T-Mobile will then refund any costs incurred during the trial and any costs for resuming service with Verizon.

    Customers who opt to jump ship to T-Mobile, however, can trade in their existing Verizon phone and keep the new T-Mobile phone. In return, T-Mobile will foot the bill for any outstanding payments on the device or any early termination fees of up to $650. Either way, Verizon customers can try out the new promotion without having to pay anything. People can also choose not to trade in their existing Verizon phone, a T-Mobile spokesman told CNET. A trade-in is required only if the customer wants T-Mobile to cover the cost of Verizon's early termination fee or other expenses associated with the contract.
