American Airlines planes ground by iPad app error

Pilots in American Airlines use an iPad app which has a glitch which made dozens of jets to stop. They are using this app so they don't carry 35 pounds of paperwork in their jet. American Airlines went paperless in 2013 estimated this would save them $1.2 million dollars in fuel every year. The app can cause pilots to go without anything information on where they are going.

Wiki Opinion

I don't trust Wikipedia because people can just edit the page and can have false information. I changed my mind about Wikipedia and it is not that bad. Wikipedia is a good site to have a start point on a paper. Also, if you search on famous people, the first link to click on is Wikipedia. There is a history tab in the site, so you can see who, where, or when the article was revised and edit.

Spring Break Post

   My spring break was very boring because I was sleeping everyday and doing nothing. I just went to the park and played basketball with some of my friends. Most of my cousins came to my house to sleep over and it was loud. On break, I always used my laptop and I got bored of watching the same youtube videos and same games that I already beat like Portal 2 on Steam. Easter was ok, my aunts and grandparents came and gave me candy. We had a Easter egg hunt in the house and my cousins got hurt from running into the wall, door, or some other object.
   Most days when I get bored and find nothing to do, I order chinese food and do some of my spring break homework. I sometimes help my mom by doing chores because she has to do everything everyday. For example, washing dishes, washing clothes, sweeping the floors, mopping the floors, and etc. I also help my dad on his trucks when something breaks or he has to do a delivering.
