WEEK 1

I read an article online about Microsoft adding NFC (Near Field communication) to the new windows phone 7. This would allow phone users to pay for items such as subway passes and groceries by waving their cell phones in front of designated machines. Google added this technology to its Android phones and is currently testing NFC in Portland, Oregon as a one-swipe search solution. People with these phones can go to places in the city with the NFC sticker in the window and swipe their phones by the machines to get store hours, addresses, phone numbers and customer reviews. Rumors have it that Apple may be adding this to their iPhone and iPad but they are at this time just rumors.

Introduction

I am taking this class because it is part of my graduation requirements. I am however excited to take this class and learn more about computers and posting to blogs such as this and also wiki's. One question I have is about creating my wiki, I was able to create my account but I am having trouble making the wiki page I guess. Another question I have about computers is what is the best anti virus program to use?
