A.I review

       
There is no real antagonist or enemy in the movie and the acting is sub-par. There are a ton of plot holes like why David still loves his mother after she abandoned him. The plot is unique and unexpected but the tempo and style of the movie is rather vague and questionable. Almost as if the whole movie was a dream of some kid. The ending is kind of choppy, with the alien/next generation species who have supernatural powers and are immediately kind to David. The movie could have easily cut off the mother son reunited scene and left the movie at that with futuristic aliens suspicious of David.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is a field of study in which a certain form of intelligence is made by robots and software. the field of research started at Dartmouth College in the summer of 1956. In the early 2000's, the first system was used as a chess player and ended up beating the worlds greatest chest player in 2005. As advancements in the branch of computer sciences continued, Artificial Intelligence goal is to be as human as possible. The film industry took advantage of the field in the late 70's and 80's with movies like Alien/s and the Terminator.

LOUISVILLE ROBBED! FINAL FOUR PREDICTIONS



At 6:00 pm yesterday, the NCAA released the seed selections for the 2014 NCAA tournament, yet  as the no.1 seeds were announced, the highly touted heavy momentum Louisville team did not get called, as some predicted they would've been seeded no.2. But after the no.2 and No 3 seeds were released there was no Louisville team. You would think the defending National Champions. 5th ranked Louisville cardinals with all 5 losses to ranked teams would have a better spot in the seeding, but it wasnt until the 4th seed Louisville was selected. "Outrageous", the sports nation screamed, even Louisville haters were saying this wasnt right. Louisville is the hottest team in the nation right now with 3 double digit wins to win their conference tourney. With the dynamic duo of Russ Smith and NBA super star Talent Montrezl Harrell (Who has close to 100 dunks of the season)

MY PREDICTIONS FOR THE FINAL FOUR HOWEVER,
LOUISVILLE VS OREGON
                                                          








FLORIDA vs Cincinnati

SOCHI TOO WARM FOR WINTER OLYMPICS



When you think of Russia, you think of cold, wilderness, and the Soviet Union of course. But Sochi isn't what everyone thinks of Russia, it has palm trees and can get as high as 75 degrees some days. Sochi is the exact opposite of what the Winter Olympics site should be. However there is snowy mountains where some of the events will be, but most of the city is greenery and tropic plants with beaches and villas.

BYE BYE FLAPPY BIRD

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Yes its gone! The biggest trend in App store history since Angry Birds has been removed. Flappy Bird, a simple game where a bird has to dodge pipes to get a higher score had millions of people across the world addicted. Creator Nguyen from Korea admits the game was a surprise to him, he didn't expect it to skyrocket in downloads out of the blue. Nguyen was eventually making $50,000 a day...doing nothing. The game was free, but the advertisement was the hook.

After Flappy Bird was removed, the demand for the App was higher than it was when it was available. iPhone's or Android devices that have the App are going for thousands of dollars....and yes some do sell!
