Verizon reps trained to peddle Android over iPhone


The people at Verizon may be pressuring you to get an Android LTE phone over the iconic iPhone. They are specially trained to sell them, finding minute differences between the two. One person which worked at Verizon said that he didn't want to sell a customer an outdated product, like the iPhone. It runs on 3G, which is significantly slower than 4G LTE. This is probably because their 4G rates are more profitable than 3G, which  gives them more money to work with, or maybe hoard. Even though the iPhone is less marketed by Verizon, it is still a more advanced and simple phone that will stay in the most used market, in this case in 3G. When the iPhone 5 comes around, 4G LTE will probably be used. This Kaushik.. Still here.....

Another Siri-like Application...

Hello there. To view the full article, click here.

This new app has originated from the all amazing Netherlands. It's called Voice Answer, and it has many features that resemble Siri. Like Siri, it uses Wolfram Alpha, and makes use of its features. For example, if you ask it what 2x7 is, it will give you the answer and an explanation on how it was derived. Soon they hope to add a face that seems to say the words to you. For an app that is $3.99, this is quite amazing. However, this is not as native as Siri, and makes you enter the app before you actually ask it a question. I think that this is a great application for people who do not have the iPhone 4S.

Check out this video of Voice Answer.

Rhode Island at a Glance. (And Spring Break)

We all know that Rhode Island is the smallest state in the United States. Some parts are full of hustle and bustle. But for a place only three hours from New York City, it's a beautiful place. This is one of the normal sized backyards, and behind all the green and brown, the area is teeming with life (the microscopic kind). Later, my family and I went to Boston! There we toured the common sights, and also visited Harvard and MIT. Watch this brief tour of a wing of Harvard! I also did a bunch of work on Spanish and Math. I can now say complete sentences and I know my numbers up to a hundred one! I was working on Khan Academy and just finished Pre-Algebra. Now I am going to move on to Trigonometry. I'll place a link right here. Use it if you are uncertain of any MATH topic. My spring break was also based on a video that my cousin and I made. He shot the footage and I edited it. I hope that I go to either MIT or University of Florida. I also played basketball at my friend AJ's house on Friday. At this point, I hope that I have successfully confused you. So tell me, what do you think is ethical? Tell me in the comments BELOW. This is Kaushik, and I approved this message. THUMBS UP FOR RAY WILLIAM JOHNSON RIP OFF!
