I am not surprise reading this article, the fact that they upgrade/change their technology gadgets in a blink of an eye..it’s expected that they’ll use it.
So here it goes, teachers are using smart phones as part of the educational tool. Wow, let’s expect more enhancement or additives in the next few ..days or months? You guess 
Trends & Innovations – Friday
Teachers and professors are starting to use cell phones as educational tools in their classrooms, after previously banning them as distractions.
Abilene Christian Univ. in Texas is giving two-thirds of its freshmen a smart phone that they’re expected to use for receiving handouts in class and brainstorming. About 100 high school freshmen in N.C. are using phones during their math classes in a program sponsored by handset gear maker Qualcomm.
They use the phones to play math games, network among themselves on problems and watch animation showing problems being solved.

Oh yeah, they are. Yahoo, MSN or any other popular site doesn’t have any page ranking (correct me if I’m wrong)..so most of the internet addict/savvy runs/uses google all the time.
Plus I think they have a good business strategy that is why they are VERY successful.
When Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google Inc. on Sept. 7, 1998, they had little more than their ingenuity, four computers and an investor’s $100,000 bet on their belief that an Internet search engine could change the world.
It sounded preposterous 10 years ago, but look now: Google draws upon a gargantuan computer network, nearly 20,000 employees and a $150 billion market value to redefine media, marketing and technology.
Perhaps Google’s biggest test in the next decade will be finding a way to pursue its seemingly boundless ambitions without triggering a backlash that derails the company.
“You can’t do some of the things that they are trying to do without eventually facing some challenges from the government and your rivals,” said Danny Sullivan, who has followed Google since its inception and is now editor-in-chief of SearchEngineLand.

How was your day blogger friends? Mine was ok. I shifted from blogging to reading today. You know, the ‘review’ that I am doing recently.
I’m just present in the blogosphere this evening. I tweak my blog a little bit because for some reason, I wasn’t satisfied with how it looked like previously. I don’t know, I have this ‘endless’ wants in terms of my blog themes.
Anyway, I have 2 more pending assignments from SS and I’ll be posting them shortly. In the meantime, let me give you some clippings for our daily technology guide.

Shares in Nokia Corp. tumbled Friday after the leading cell phone maker said its third-quarter global market share will decline from second-quarter levels because of aggressive price cuts by its rivals.
In July the company, the world’s top mobile phone maker, had predicted that its market share would about the same in the two quarters — about 40 percent.
Nokia said it was losing share because of its “tactical decision” not to match the aggressive price cuts of some of its competitors, seeking instead to be “sustainably profitable in the longer term.” It also cited tough competition in emerging markets and a slow “ramp-up of a mid-range Nokia device.”
