The mobile phone company O2 is slashing the price of the smaller of Apple’s iPhone by £100, amid fears that sales of the combined phone and music player have stalled as the California company prepares to launch a better over the summer. From today the “basic” 8GB of the phone – which can store roughly 2,000 songs – will be £169, compared with £269 when the went on sale in the UK just before Christmas. Customers willing to buy the phone, however, will still have to pay O2 at least £35 a month for their calls and . The price of the larger 16GB phone will remain at £329. Anyone who does rush out to buy the cheap iPhone, however, may find themselves regretting the decision by the summer as Apple is expected to launch the - 3G of the iPhone at its Worldwide Developers’ in San Francisco in June.

Only 100 years ago, there was obvious discrimination between women and men. However, owing to the feminist’s fight for their rights, nowadays women have equal right as men’s. In spite of this change, arguments still exist in various areas. The claim, about accepting equal numbers of male and female students in every subject, is one of those. There is no objection that women should be given equal opportunity for education, nevertheless, the matter should be dealt with caution, as it can lead to another discrimination to men.
Many researches show that there are clear differences between women’s and men’s abilities. For instance, there is a article about gender differences.

6th April, there was unexpected happening, snowing, in London. Some people claim that global warming is not a reality and they give evidence such as snowing in London for supporting their idea. However, this wrong claim from misconception about ‘Global warming’. The meaning of global warming is not simply describe rising temperature, but talk about global climate change. In other words, the exact meaning of global warming is the habitable parts of the world will get colder or hotter. There is good explanation for this happening. “Due to the increase of fresh water in the Atlantic ocean (melting polar ice), the drift will slow and halt – thus Europe will get colder even though the average global temperature rises.”
Anyway, although this kind of serious problems involves in snowing, it makes people smile!
