COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Did you know that the college football championship was on January 11? If you did then you probably know who won. This game was Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Oregon Ducks. The Ohio State Buckeyes destroyed the Ducks 42-20. In the first quarter, the Buckeyes scored 14, while the Ducks scored 7. In the second quarter, the Ducks scored 3, while the Buckeyes scored 7. In the third quarter, the Buckeyes scored 7, while the Ducks scored 10. In the last quarter, the Buckeyes scored 14, while the Ducks scored 0. Overall, the Buckeyes had 28 first downs, while the Ducks had

20 first downs. Overall, Ohio State had 538 yards, while the Ducks had 465. Many people expected the Ducks to win because they’re the number two seed, while Ohio State was number 3 seed. Even though the Ducks were better in passing, the Buckeyes were better in running. This is how the game went. -By Amish Sethi

If you took the Google vs. Bing test, it would say that more people prefer Bing than Google. But is this true?

Debate.org is a website where people express their opinion about different things. According to a poll on it, 26% of people say yes, Bing is better than Google, and 74% say no, Google is better.

According to another website, Nic Davies, a 17 year old student, prefers Bing over Google because the ads are more relevant and the searches are more related to the topic he searched. Yet another, Kevin Joyce of VR Focus, only started to use Bing because it was default on his phone.According to techradar.com, Survey Monkey took a survey about this topic. 641 took this survey. And you know what? The research taken of the surveyers’ opinions shows that people still like Google more than Bing.

I think Google is better than Bing not because it has a better search engine (I believe they are the same, pretty much), but because Google only compared its search engine to itself. I don’t like that Bing is comparing itself to other search engines, especially when you say you yourself are better than another search engines, because then you have crossed the line between belief that you are good to extreme vanity of yourself. It’s just like those mean Sprint ads with the goat screaming and the bills cut in half.

Overall, I think that Bing is equal to Google. There’s no proof one is better than the other, only opinions. And besides, the Google vs Bing test is on bingiton.com, and MADE by Bing, so they would obviously make themselves sound more preferred.

So next time you need to search something online, don’t believe or listen to the debates about whether Bing or Google is better, or even if you don’t use any of those 2: Just search. All of the engines are the same.

It’s a well known fact. History repeats itself. And once again, Apple is poised to corner another market: wearable technology. The weapon of choice? The Apple Watch.

Before the release of the original iPod in 2001, the digital player market had no clear leader. No one had “found the recipe.” Within a few years, the iPod was dominating sales in that market. How? By studying its competitors, observing they did right and what went wrong, Apple perfected its recipe, holding back until it could deliver a product that would leave rivals in the dust.

Flash forward to 2014. The competitors in the wearables market have yet to “find the recipe.” Samsung, Motorola, and Pebble have produced viable products, but none have perfected the recipe. As those companies floundered in their attempts, Apple was sitting back, taking notes.

The “secret ingredient?” Customization. The Apple Watch will allow customers to personalize their watch with three different collections, Watch, Watch Sport, and Watch Edition; a wide array of different bands, from simple fluoroelastomer bands to leather to stainless steel; and a myriad of watch faces to display on the screen. Additionally, these options will generate a large price spectrum, which will start at $350 and will only go up.

With its release slated for “Early 2015,” the Apple Watch will dominate the wearables market as its predecessor, the iPod did a decade ago.

Plants VS Zombies garden warfare is a fun, fast, and exciting game for everyone ten and up. In the game you can play garden ops as the plants and defend a garden from zombies, like in the original pvz games. You could also chose 1 of 8 multiplayer games such as welcome mat which I recommend you play first), team death mach, garden s and grave yards (which is crazzzzzzy), the classic versions, sububadation, taco bandits, and vanquish confirmed. I recommend this game to anybody with a ps3, ps4, xbox360, and xbox1. I have this game my self that I got it for my ps4. you can get this game for $19.99 as a starting price. The con of this game are that is requires Internet to play it at all and I can’t think of much more. This game is a game I play for all of winter break and you might too. That my review on pvz g, w hope it helped.
