A Problem With Scrap Blog

if I'm working on scrap blog at the same time as Laura and my page 2 is blank and her page 1 is blank and if Laura publishes last then the page 1 will become blank because it over-rides. as sir suggested we are going to have 2 separate scrap blogs with the one account and have a page full of links which link to pages on one person's scrap blog and the partner's scrap blog as well.

CPU or microprocessor

a CPU is a complete computer engine on a single chip, it's where the calculations take place. the first CPU was called the Intel 4004 and it was introduced in 1971.
The speed of the CPU has increased dramatically. in 1974 the clock speed was 2 MHz which is 2 million cycles per second and in 2004 the clock speed increased to 3.6 GHz which is 3.6 billion cycles per second.
according to dictionary.com MIP's measure the computer and is 1 million instructoins per second.
a duel core processor is a CPU that has 2 execution cores with one chip. multitasking is when you have different programmes running at the same time. a duel core processor is really good for multitasking because each of the execution cores are independent so the operating system has enough resources to handle the different tasks.
the Intel Atom Processor uses less power, is really small but it allows a "big internet experience" which is good for people who use their mobile phones to go on the internet unlike the traditional way of using the computer.

Out of the blue, Laura is doing number one which is computer displays and I am doing number six which is handheld multimedia devices. Out of the pink, Laura is doing number seven which is piracy and copyright while I am doing number nine which is social networking. Out of the yellow, Laura is doing number sixteen which is types of ports and I am doing number fourteen which is graphics cards. Out of the green, Laura is doing number eighteen which is blue tooth while I am doing number twenty which is wifi.
Also Laura and I have chosen to use scrap blog for our assignment because it's easy to use and easy to personalise.

Research for ZoHo notebook

positives are that it's very easy to add videos, audio, images, text, all that stuff. it's free, there's a good menu system with the different pages which you can title easily and you can change the title of the whole book, we can both sign in and edit at the same time and you can publish it easily. on the bad side you can't personalise it very much/ make it fancy. here is a screen shot:
