Blackberry vs. Iphone

It's almost impossible to go anywhere without seeing people constantly using their cell phones. Recently, it has become extremely difficult to purchase a cell phone in which you don't have to pay a monthly fee of atleast $20.00 (depending on what data plan you have) for internet. Two of the most popular kinds of phones are the Blackberry and the Apple Iphone. But which one is better? They are both very complex devices that do similar things, it just depends on the type of use you're going to put into it. The Iphone is a phone, has internet access, and also an ipod which makes it the first of it's kind. The Blackberry is a phone, has internet access, and the capability to hold music.

Blackberry Pros:
-BBM- (Blackberry messenger) A progam which is similar to AIM (Aol instant messenger) that allows quick and efficient blackberry-to-blackberry contact.
-Full Keyboard-
-Quick internet reception-


Iphone Pros:
-Touch screen-
-All in one device (Music, Phone, Internet)-
-Facetime- A program which allows Iphone4 owners to video chat with eachother.
-Apps- Millions of different applications and games available to download onto your phone.

Kill two birds with one stone

For your belt loops or for your your sneakers? Or maybe, both!? The use of a shoe lace as a belt is a new trend that developed in male teens in the past five years. This look is usually sported by the "skater" stereotype teens, but others have quickly adapted the same look for their style! But the most common asked question: Does a shoelace really hold up your pants? Chris, a senior from an upstate New York school states, " I've used a shoelace as a belt before and there is really no supposed unless you tie it really tight, but that defeats the look." So, boys; try it out and tell us what you think!

Tanning bed or death bed?

As prom season approaches, many teenage girls (including myself)are hitting the tanning salons to get darker faster.But how safe is tanning? Not safe at all. Tanning beds have been recently identified as a carcinogen which is a cancer-causing agent. Frequent usage can damage and thin the skin so it is more difficult to heal. Indoor tanning is also linked to melanoma (a form of skin cancer) and can cause disfigurement. According to DERMA Doctor, people who frequently use tanning beds experience earlier aging of the skin, wrinkles, and a thick, leather-like texture. Frequent tanning can also turn into a serious addiction. I personally am not against tanning if it's done in moderation, but I do believe it can become a serious problem. I guess when it comes to indoor tanning, consider the facts and decide for yourself.

Twitter the new facebook

Is "tweeting" the new in? Twitter, the latest in social networking sites has lately been growing in popularity from celebrities to highschool students. Facebook and Twitter have distinct differences, but is one better than the other? While facebook allows users to have an entire page with information, wallposts, pictures, and whatever else... Twitter is simply a username and allows "tweeters" to post messages and thoughts throughout the day. On both sites you can associate with whom you want... (on Twitter it's called following and on Facebook it's called friending). According to the Huffington post, Facebook is still racking in more user time than Twitter is. But with funny celebrity tweets coming from Charlie Sheen and star of Tosh.0 Daniel Tosh, who knows how long Facebook will keep the crown. Watch out Mark Zuckerberg!

J-Lo trying to make a comeback?

Jennifer Lopez is a name that most people have heard before, but most people haven't heard her voice on the radio in a few years. Recently in 2011 it seems that she's trying to make a comeback. But my question, is she trying too hard? Her new single "On the floor" featuring Pitbull was released in February and remains number 8 on the top charts Itunes singles. "On the floor" is a catchy, upbeat dance tune with the typical random spanish rap lines thrown in by Pitbull. Although it's new and catchy, it's nothing special and J-Lo had her 15 minutes 15 years ago....Has 41 year old Jenny from the block lost her touch? You decide.

Howdy Yall !

Everyone's mad for plaid! The biggest stars in the media, your down home town, to your local super market everyone is wearing plaid! Plaid shirts made their big break in stores everywhere about four years ago and have been ever present since! These shirts come in every color combination imaginable, most in cotton, and some with the comfort of flannel. If you asked a stereotypical teenager, i will guarantee you they will own or have owned at some point in time a plaid shirt! Plus, the other great thing about these shirts is that they virtually go with anything, jeans no matter the color, your favorite pair of shorts, or a cute denim mini skirt! So the lesson learned here? Go invest in a plaid shirt, its worth the 20 bucks.
