1. The uss yorktown nt returned almost identical results with only minor differences in the order listed. All results on the first page were the same.
2. I got the same sort of results for : google chinese censorship as I did for number 1.
3. OK. This time google.com, bing.com, and yahoo.com all had the 1989 protest in most of their results on the first page, but google.cn only had positive references listed and websites that showed how it looks now and even a site devoted to the size of Tiananmen Square. I was predicting that, especially after reading some of the results for google chinese censorship.
4. I got similar results for Tiawan independence as I did for google chinese censorship. The conclusion I've come to is that censorship is practiced constantly in China and Chinese territories like Tiawan.

My Delicious Page
Here is the URL to my Delicious page. I don't really follow movies much and I'm not sure how to find books or any other interesting material to post.
http://delicious.com/sweatshopgranny
1. Here is my Hawaiian sunrise.
The URL is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31598258@N07/3137769324/
The tags I used were hawaiian and sunrise.
2. Here is my pumpkin that is bigger than a person. It weighs a whopping 1082 pounds.
The URL is:http://www.flickr.com/photos/john_clement_howe/1810230776/
The tags I used were giant and jack-o-lantern.
3. I used the tags: stepp and horses. What I got back were these four results. The interesting part about this was I was looking for steppe horses, as in Steppe Horses in Mongolia, but I misspelled the word steppe and got three results for Stepp Stables and one result for high-stepping horses. Check it out.
I went to Digg.com and found this video. This girl gives the reject contestants on American Idol hope. Britney Spears hasn't been relevant for a very long time now and everyone already knows she can't carry a tune in a bucket so why insult our ears with more of her whiny out-of-tune screeching? As for the pros and cons of social bookmarking, I think a few weird people would bookmark things and sometimes kids who have nothing better to do will surf the Internet and come across stuff they shouldn't be looking at. If they have someone bookmarking it for them, it makes the bad or unacceptable material easier to find. Let them find the crud on their own-maybe they won't find it (the crud) if they have to go looking for it. On the other hand, if a friend tells you about a really good story they found on the net but they don't remember where, by using a site like digg.com, you could possibly find it by using keywords.

Assignment 8 Google Wave
Google Wave looks cool but also a little scary. I'm not sure if I understand much about it. I do think that there is great potential for business use, especially if a company has offices all around the world. Just imagine working on a project with people in Japan and Canada at the same time and being able to present the finished product in the US all in the same day? I tried to find out if there is some way to censor content since everything is done in real time, but couldn't find out. If someone knows, I would be interested in how this is done.

Assignment 3
Choose one of the following:
A) Visit Shane's Blog and do a little research. Follow his links, google, anything you can think of. Make a post of your opinion on the story. Is Shane a victim or is he a fool?
B) Visit a news site's blog and comment on any news story of interest to you
Answer A) First of all, this guy is an idiot ! I think he took that picture knowing full well that if the guys from Loomis saw him do that, they would question him. His refusal to cooperate made him appear guilty of something, even if they didn't know what that was yet. This is exactly what Mr. Keen was refering to in Wikipedia. (See my assignment 2 blog)
