Egypt's military dissolves Parliament, Suspends Constitution

Shortly following the resignation of Hosni Mubarak the military suspended the constitution and will remain in power for the next 6 months or until elections will be held.  As apart of their suspension of the constitution they will also be proposing changes to it which will then be submitted to voters for their thoughts. 

Not only does the government have to be restored but so does the national banks of Egypt.  According to many bank workers Mubarak's family appointed their friends to high level positions at the bank with large incomes.  Since the resignation of Mubarak - changes will also be held at the national banks causing them to closed until Wednesday.

It is a huge step forward for the civilians of Egypt to have Mubarak step down from office however how long will the military have to be in charge? Can Egypt fall into the same fate as Iran? Now that Mubarak has stepped down the civilians of Egypt must work together to get a new government instated as quickly as possible.  Many of the protesters do not feel that the fight is over and choose to remain protesting on the streets of Egypt until the government is put together.  The people of Egypt are extremely excited for this new life they will live however the changes must move quickly before they begin to loose faith in their country.

AOL Buys Huffington Post

The Super Bowl wasn't only for football and commercials yesterday, but also for business deals.  During the game Huffington Post's co-founder Arianna Huffington and AOL CEO Tim Armstrong came together on a deal where AOL will buy Huffington Post and combine the two websites to make AOL the go-to website for various news intake.  Arianna will also join AOL's team to help re-vamp the website.

AOL needed a change such as this if they wanted to bring back the iconic brand.  At one point AOL use to be the main website for dial-up users and E-mail, however as the internet continued to grow AOL was no longer needed.  AOL has lost 782.5 million dollars last year and lost 1.5 of their advertising revenue from last year, so AOL has to make a change fast in order to keep the company from going under.  Hopefully with this new deal AOL can be on top once again with Google, Yahoo and Facebook. Armstrong wants to change the way internet users get their news; he wants the new AOL to be the next-generation American media company with GLOBAL reach. Let's see what they have in store for us internet users!

Super Bowl Commercials 2011

Sadly enough - I really wasn't too impressed with the commercials played during the 2011 Super Bowl.  Only a few commercials caught my attention and even those commercials had come 2nd to those that I have seen in previous years.  Many of the car commercials had the same feel to them and just seemed very boring and unoriginal to me.

Commercials I Enjoyed:

 

Volkswagon Commercial: The Force - this commercial was with the little boy dressed up as Darth Vador and he kept trying to use his "force" to turn on electrical appliances and other things around the house.  Without fail he could not succeed until his dad arrives home with his new Volkswagon and the child believes he turns on the engine with his "force".  This was a cute commercial and I enjoyed watching it. I believe Volkswagon wanted to touch parents hearts and did a great job in doing so. 

 

Doritos: Pug attack - This commercial is HILARIOUS! I have a small dog of my own therefore I know what it is to tease small dogs.  The dogs strength breaks down the glass door and the guy ends up squished.  It was very modern and fun - for a product that is also looked at as young and fun.  

 

Bridgestone: Reply All - This commercial put a smile on my face! The guy looked so funny running around grabbing everyone's computers or cell phones in order to prevent them from reading the email he sent and also it hits home because how many times have we thought we hit reply all.  Or even just sent an email that we wish we could take back.   

Commercials I Disliked: 

Coca Cola: Siege - I really like Coca Cola and have always enjoyed their commercials however this commercial I feel wasn't great.  I thought it was boring and I didn't know what they were advertising until the very end of the commercial. Very disappointing being that I love the Coca Cola brand and what it represents.  

Groupon: Tibet - I thought this was a horrible commercial! I don't know if they were being for real in trying to gain awareness on what is going on in Tibet but this commercial was tasteless and embarrassing. I still don't even know what Groupon is.
