New York Times: Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

Another slow paper today for the Times.  It seemed they had a lot of factual stories rather than articles that had some emotional meaning behind them.  I'm sure tomorrow will be different though, since Steve Jobs has unfortunately passed away.

The story about the astronomers and the nobel prize was interesting, but very confusing at the same time.  It baffles me to think how scientists figure these things out.  How does one even start to figure out the secrets behind the universe?

I was really excited to read the article about the new iPhone 4S.  I've recently discovered that I love Apple products, so I'm really excited to get my hands on the new device, especially since it's faster (better quality games: hooray!).  After hearing about Steve Jobs' death, I thought the closer of the article was very ironic.  The last quote read: "It's impossible to replace Steve Jobs,..."  It makes his death even more devastating to hear that his fellow co-workers and competitors are mourning his death.
