I believe that learning about the Holocaust has significantly changed my view on it. I believe that I really did not know enough about the holocaust to grasp it before I studied it this year. I think that if people were not to study the holocaust they would defiantly miss out on an important and terrible event in world history. I am glad that I studied the holocaust because I feel very sorry for all the people involved in it and great anger at those who started it.
This week I started to read Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I really have been enjoying the book so far. I have really been intrigued about the complicity of a small town in a horrible grip of a murderer. I really like the characters especially the “mysterious” five. They are so odd. To work at a beer factory and barely be known. I look forward to seeing much more action and horror as the book continues. I believe that one of the characters may even be killed.
I am very irritated this week at the Apple Computer Company. They have dropped their prices on their Ipod line. The nano, a very popular product has had a price drop to $149.99 but has come to be a reduced size of 1GB. The company has also dropped prices on its Ipod shuffle line. The 512mb shuffle has been reduced to $69.99 and the 1GB shuffle to $99.99. If these shuffle’s had screens on them Apple would dominate the market. This will probably become true very soon as Apple is gaining more and more share of the mp3 player market. I am irritated at this news because the Apple Company is taking away shares of the business from competitors like Creative Labs, Sony, Iriver and others. I am sad to say that since they are doing this I likely will never buy their product. I will instead go with Creative Labs.
read this week: Black house 1-90 and some others books.
