I choose this because good prices are hard to find with new technology and price fixing will make it almost impossible to find them.

Android came out with the Nexus tablet in time to compete with the apple iPad. It may not be able to take sales away from the iPad, but maybe the kindle fire or the Nook. It has many new feature such as a 7" screen and Android 4.0.

This shows the competition in the technology business to have the best and get the most sales. To do that, you have to rapidly make advancements to technology.

Apple is releasing the new iPad 3, but its not called the iPad 3. Like the iphone, minor changes have taken place and it can not be considered an iPad 3, but more "the new iPad (3rd generation)"

Technology advancements are happening constantly, so fast that companies can not keep up with what the people are demanding.

At the Grammy's Minaj released a new character named Roman Zolanski. Now, many people think differentl of her and think the performance was a disaster and scary. And even more are talking about what they think of Roman.

I watched this performance and didn't think it was bad but it was a bit freaky. To start the performance, she had a video that obviously had effects. And the song she sang was probably a little edited on the computer.
