The videos that you posted were helpful, but I didn't really like the fact that you posted them instead of teaching us in class. I prefer learning in class, because then I can ask questions if I don't understand something. It is also easier for me to remember, because I take notes during class, so I can look back on them.

You are the first teacher who has posted a video on their blog, so this is a new thing, but I would still prefer to be taught things during class.

Nokia is thinking about coming out with a tattoo ink that can vibrate to alert you that your phone is wringing. An alternative to that would be a sticker or a badge that would also vibrate.

This is interesting to me, because I almost never hear my phone ring or feel it vibrate. Having a sticker or tattoo that could alert me would help me a lot.

Google has been caught letting advertisers track users in ways that are unintended, by bypassing the privacy settings on Apple's Safari Web brouser. Google tricked Safari into letting ads download cookies, which is bad.

I use both Safari and Google, so of course, finding out that Google let third parties download things on to my computer without my knowledge interests me.
