Network Neutrality

Well base on the title i think Network Neutrality is when all internet services trade all type of sources equally. Actually Network Neutrality has been the center of debate because companies do not know if they should trade all internet services equally or give preference to those users who have pay to have a faster transmission. Currently all users get access to any website on an equal basis but the Federal communication commission do not like the idea but at the same time they are not able to change so. Now The F.C.C has approved a compromise that allows the creation of two classes of internet access. In my opinion i think is not fair for the internet services to trade all type of sources unequally because that stopping competition and at the same time is affecting the users. Hopefully the internet services get a solution because a lot of people do not like the idea of not equal trade for everyone.

A cover letter is a brief letter that introduces your resume to the organization or company you are applying to.This letter needs to include why do you want to work for that particularly organization or company, also the cover letter should be effective to encourage the reader to invite you for an interview. There should be three parts on a cover letter, the first one is formatting which includes; address, personal data. Try to make it brief with a good font size and with no grammar errors. Also the second part of a cover letter is the content in which you need to state why you are writing and for what  position are you applying. The last part is the writing style which just need to be clear and concise, describe your skills, interest,and abilities. This format is the best way to do a cover letter. You should have like three short paragraphs in the first one you introduce your self by stating your degree program and the year in which you graduate. The second one try to mention some qualifications you think would be of greatest interest to the employer. Also explain why are you particularly interested in the company and if you have any kind of experience is good to let them know. As a final point in the third paragraph close by stating you desire for an interview and state your contact information to they can know how to reach you. Also a resume is kind of different from the cover letter because the resume is brief and the cover letter is a previews to your resume and tells more about you. A resume tells more about what have you done.

Amazon to give up the fight in California

Looking up for an article at Google reader I found an interesting article call Amazon to give up the fight in California. This article got my attention because it relates a conflict between the state and Amazon. The State wants to tax online retailers but Amazon doesn't like the idea and refuse to do. Actually this is not the first time Amazon strikes a deal with the legislators including Governor Jerry Brown. Amazon wants to pay tax until 2014 but the governor rejected the deal. Also other online retailers argue they don’t have enough of a physical presence in states to warrant the collection of a sales tax. Others US states including New York, North Carolina, Hawaii and Rhode Island as well as California have started to push sales taxes on line retailers. This States argue that not taxing give them an unfair competitive advantage over big box retailers. This debate has also reached to US congress which is arguing about the online tax and trying to find a solution. The national internet sales tax bill that was introduce at the start of August. In my opinion i believe Amazon should pay taxes because there using online benefits and also is not the first time they refuse to do it. i think they just one to be making deals to not pay taxes. I think is good that the governor rejected the deal because that going to make them pay instead of refusing. i really don't get why Amazon don't want to pay maybe they would have a hard time if they do pay.

The article i read was a really interesting article which talks about a new chip that you can uses to be connected to your stuffs like pants or keys. In my opinion this is kind of scary because i never thought that it can be possible. I actually think it is pretty cool because it is  going to make life easier for people. This new internet of things helps to be link to things we own and love instead of people. This can really be a step up. I actually want my stuffs to be networked to it can be easier for me to find them. Even though i believe this can be really helpful for us i do not know how people is going to react and maybe this new chip is just going to make people lazy and know their not gonna be able to do stuffs by there own without any help of a electronic chip. This article made me think of how technology is progressing and that really soon we are going to be able to have control of everything we own and love just by using a chip.I think is pretty crazy but i actually like the idea of have control of my stuff even though if I'm not close to them. Many people are not that much organized so maybe this is gonna help them be more organize with there stuffs. Actually this is not just going to help be organizes with shoes or clothes it can be helpful in many area. There is people that don't like the idea of to much technology but is good to be advance and try to be organized and use the help if we need it. Technology is not for everyone so is up to people to choose whether or not they would like using it.
