This knowledge is useful to advertisers, journalists, and to media consumers. The way it works is the page aggregates information and stories from multiple sources like news sources, social media sites, etc.

MSN isn’t the only one joining the web and social media-watcher club. Reuters recently launched Social Pulse which also monitors what people are searching and talking about online.

What’s New

Messages. Apple is revamping it’s communication software. iChat will be replaced with Messages. Messages, which is currently on iPhones, will allow you to send unlimited messages to iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, and Macs that are running iOS 5. All conversations can be viewed on multiple devices. For example, if you started your conversation on your iPhone you can continue the conversation on your iPad or Mac – you’re not confined to a single device to continue or finish your conversation. Messages will still allow you to connect with AIM, Jabber, Google Talk, and Yahoo! Messenger accounts. If you don’t want to wait until the summer when Mountain Lion is released, you can download and try it out.

Notification Center. You’ll never miss a beat. Similar to how Growl for Mac works, notifications will alert you when you have a new email, instant message, friend request, etc. The notification banner will disappear so it will not be distracting while you work. In case you need a reminder, you can easily swipe to the left and see a full list of all your notifications

AirPlay Monitor. With Apple TV you can stream your computer onto your television. The best part is you don’t need any wires to do it.

Mountain Lion also improves iCloud, Notes, Reminder, and Security features. All information provided is from Apple.com.

The United States and members of the international community believe Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran claims they’re developing nuclear capabilities for energy and domestic purposes.

As a way to put pressure on Iran without taking military action, The United States, Australia, Canada, the European Union, India, Israel, Japan, South Korea, and Switzerland have placed sanctions on Iran. Specifically, the United States goal is to reduce the ability to sell crude oil, Iran’s main export, by targeting Iran’s central bank. While a Fox News report indicates that the sanctions are taking a toll on Iran’s economy, the Pew Poll indicated only 21 percent believe the sanctions against Iran will work.
