			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last few days I have been looking at <a href="http://hunch.com">hunch.com</a>. This online service is simple yet unique. Basically you get a account and type in the search &#8220;what I&#8217;m making a decision about&#8221;. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-222" title="hunch search " src="http://latechna.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/hunch-2-300x34.jpg" alt="hunch search " width="300" height="34" /></p>
<p>It will pop up relevant questions on what you were trying to deiced on. One example is what type of computer should I buy, it will ask you questions like how big, brand, price, ext. After about 10 questions it  shows three results. Most questions are user generated, however it seemed to be pretty good  at coming with up with good results Hunch.com offers questions on about anything, the interface is simple and easy. I just hope they are creating a mobile version, that could be useful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today Google Earth 5 launches. They came out with three new things. Number one is you can view oceans from udder neath. Second you can view any satellite data available from the past. Last you can record your movements around the screen. This was a very quick view to Google Earth but we will create a in-death video soon, so look for that.</p>

<p>The iPod touch is a mobile multimedia device released by Apple inc. It has built in Wi-Fi, and utilizes the Safari mobile web browser. I found it incredibly easy to connect to the internet and found that, with an &#8220;excellent&#8221; wireless connection, the browsing was smooth and fast.<span id="more-199"></span></p>
<p>As a stand alone iPod, the iPod touch is great. The sound quality is very good, and, on the second generation model, it even has decent quality using the built in speaker. It isn&#8217;t the greatest speaker in the world, but it&#8217;s sufficient for minimal use. Another feature of the iPod touch is the high resolution &#8220;Cover flow.&#8221; It is a pretty cool feature, but, for some people, it can&#8217;t be used because if you use something like Limewire to import your songs, you won&#8217;t get any Cover flow. One other problem that I encountered was that the touch screen is still at full sensitivity when a song is playing. If your finger touches the screen in any way accidentally, something will happen. I had the volume increase to absolute maximum with my earbuds in, and, let me tell you, that hurts.</p>
<p>I have to say, hands down, my favorite feature is the iTunes Wi-Fi music store, and the App store. It is so convenient to be able to download a song anywhere there is a Wi-Fi connection. You don&#8217;t have to wait to download a song you just heard, you can do it immediately. The App store is also great. I&#8217;ve gotten some great applications just by searching around for a little while in the App store. My favorite app is the facebook app. It&#8217;s really fun to look at pictures, and chat with friends without having to sit down at the computer.</p>
<p>The iPod touch is a great mobile device, and worth the price tag of upwards of $200. I would reccomend it to anyone who likes music, games, and surfing the web.</p>
<p>Overall: 4.7/5</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Besides the odd name, mygazines.com is pretty cool. The concept is that someone scans and uploads their magazine to the site and people view it, simple. However it seems odd that people can upload these newly released magazines, like from this month, without getting in any legal problems. This almost seems impossible, that&#8217;s why I emailed the company to ask them how this is legal, I will post the response as soon as I get it. But forgetting the legal stuff this site is easy use. It is a little slow, but once you get your magazine its not that bad. There of course in this web 2.0 world, is a social part to the site. You can share articles and bring in your contacts. You do get what you get for free, some magazines are low quality, however most are not that bad. Over all its a great site, but it will be seen how long this site can last.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Adobe is leaping into the business of online tools. One of their first online tools <a href="http://photoshop.com">photoshop.com</a>, allows you to  simply fix up pictures online. It may not a new concept, but it works  pretty  well.  They also build Buzzword, which is a online word processor. Their newest online  product ties in Buzzword, Adobe Connect Now, and of course Acrobat into one online tools set. <a href="http://acrobat.com">Acrobat.com</a> is a great simple to use tool kit. This site allows you to write documents (with Buzzword), create PDF&#8217;s, share files, and conduct a live online meeting (using Connect Now). All of these tools allow you to share with others.  Best of all as of now they are all free. I would of liked to see the PDF maker to be a little more useful, but worked just fine. All in all I think this is a nice site with good looks.</p>
