Technology IPAD fakes

As I PADS become more and more of a big deal, there are more and more frauds of them. In the article that I read several people claim that they bought an I PAD from either Best Buy or Walmart and it turned out to be a fake. These people say they don't realize the fake until they get home since the box feels about the weight an I PAD should be. Some stores are not refunding to their customers since the package has been open and you can't return an open package and get a refund. From a lady who got her I PAD at Best Buy got her local news station involved, was able to get a refund.
People are now starting to check the serial number to see if that specific I PAD has been activated yet. Whether its at the store or at home people are starting to be more careful of what they buy, to make sure it comes from the manufacture and not a scam artist.

Country Project

Reflection Post on Country Reasearch Project

For the past month my Online experience class we have been practicing our research skills, and recently finished a country project. The reasearch had to consist of history, fun facts, airline information from Detroit, Michigan, the location, and a virtual tour of your country. I did my country on France. I have always wanted to go to France, and this project helped me dig deeper into France. My favorite part of this entire project would be the five attractions. All of the attractions I found intersting and could apply more information to the class then my power point showed. The one part of the whole project I didn't like was the fact that the format was so strict. There was none for opinion, just a flat out instructions and what we had to have.
