Goodbye to Childhood Favorites

School Shooting Motives

With so many school shootings occurring each year it seems the one question that keeps popping up is: why? Society seems desperate for an answer and a solution to these heinous acts, like the one that occurred in Sandy Hook, Connecticut just a few months ago. However, the real question is: will we ever find an answer? Mental issues play a big part in some shootings but most motives are still unknown.

Do you think the US will be able to find motives behind these acts and prevent them or is it an endless cycle that will forever worry citizens?

Google competes with Amazon

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/28/google-same-day-delivery-san-francisco_n_2970754.html?utm_hp_ref=technology



Google has been testing "Google Shopping Express"where people involved in the test were able to shop online for items, like using Amazon, only Google promises a same day delivery system that Amazon and other companies do not by working with large retailers like Target and Toys R Us to allow pick up and delivery to the customer's homes that same day.

The concept is still new and Google is debating how much to charge for their service in the future. 

This is definitely an example of a potential Oligopoly -- Google is such a massive company that is trying to compete with smaller companies in order to take over their job and purpose. 

While I think that Google has a good idea that will appeal to many people, I don't understand what the point is. Why not let other online sales companies like eBay and Amazon serve their purpose like they've been doing for years?

A good thing that can come out of this, however, is that "Google is working with local courier companies that pick up products from local stores and deliver them to shoppers' homes," which supports smaller, local delivery companies.

Innovative Music Video

Country singer, Luke Bryan, has developed a music video campaign in hopes that it encourages fans to vote for him as ACM Entertainer of the Year for 2013. The idea is that his website gives you a frame from the music video, you mimic it on your own webcam, and shortly after it is incorporated into his new music video for "Just a Sip". Do you think this is a good way to target fans and supporters?

Coloring Book Drugs

http://www.mandatory.com/2013/03/06/the-craziest-drug-smuggling-schemes/2

Prisoners in Cape May, New Jersey, were able to disguise drugs on the pages of a children's coloring book. The opiate drug Suboxone was dissolved into a past and painted onto several pages of an innocent color book, which had drawings on it such as a child's writing "Hi, Daddy." These prisoners were able to successfully smuggle these drugs into prison and it wasn't until a tip led authorities to test the paper that it was discovered that there was drugs painted onto the pages.

Google Shopping Express

Google has developed and getting ready to launch an Amazon Prime competitor called “Google Shopping Express.” Apparently costs are going to be about $10 to $15 cheaper than Amazon Prime, decreasing yearly costs (and saving money is what its all about these days) and they are going to offer same-day delivery from essential stores such as Target, Walmart, Walgreens and Safeway. When and if this site launches, the product will be a direct competitor to Amazon Prime, eBay Now, Postmates’“Get It Now” and even smaller startups like Instacart. Could this become the new outlet for affordable online shopping? Do you think Google Shopping Express will outshine the others?
