>/a>Apple was recently acclaimed as the “biggest company in the world.” Their innovation made this possible, and in the process, they have changed the face of technology forever. In the last 10 years, their products have made them the largest competition in the technology market. They've been around for a long time, but the iPod can really be attributed as their largest success, or at least the beginning of what they have become. I guess it's about time to look at what they've done, and how it's changed our lives forever.

It seems that with every couple of years, a disturbed person decides that it is time to wreak havoc on the lives of others and kills multiple people, sparking an examination of what happened, and what can or could have been done to prevent such a horrible thing from happening again. Inevitably, either the suspect mentions he played video games or someone blames them, sparking outrage that such violent game are available to the public. Why are video games the only industry that has to deal with this?

Over the course of the most recent presidential campaign, there were issues addressed that some felt are not the most imperative to focus on currently. These issues included, however are not limited to: gay marriage, healthcare, abortion rights, distribution of wealth to the middle class, etc. However, there are two things that neither presidential candidate decided were important enough to be focal points in the race: space and global climate change (a more "politically correct" way of saying "global warming"). These things were either not brought up at all or just merely mentioned as "matter of fact" subjects, with their presence so small that they could be seen as negligible.

Recently, we all saddled up to our TVs with a bucket of Queso and a 12 pack of 40 ouncers to see who we the people decided should get to do some presidentin' for the next four years. So let's take a moment at look at how far voting has come in the last 200 years. With all the new technology that's been invented, there must be a fine-tuned electronic system in place to receive all the votes that come spewing in every four years. We'll take a look at how far the technology (hasn't) come, but also why.

We all know why there are silent protagonists in games. The idea is because the characters say nothing, the player is able to assume more of an identity with the character. This is the same premise as inTwilight's Bella Swan, except the gaming industry hasn't created anything that bad since Batman Forever, and they've apologized for it. Such gaming icons as Gordon Freeman, Link, and Mario are all examples of silent characters. But when is it no longer appropriate and becomes a hindrance to the plot?
