Fox on South Campus







Saw a fox on campus the other day, I'm originally from New york so the only time we ever saw foxes were on TV or books, the fox wasn't aggressive or anything, a lot of students were feeding it food, I got real close to it for some pics it seemed scared and would even run away repeatedly if anybody walked close to it.. in my mind I was hoping it's parents wouldn't hop out on us.

Pros/Cons of NFC technology

 





My cell phone and the new iphone5/ipad2 has NFC capabilities installed, there's many pros and cons with this technology, included in the video above shows a major con. What NFC allows you to do basically is use your cell phone as a credit card, there's even new credit cards with NFC capabilities, for faster payments at gas pumps, restaurants, etc etc. Of course you have the option of turning this feature off, just be wary if a random person approaches and gets to close to you & definitely be careful when in large crowds. The credit cards that were being read in the video had NFC technology.
