I m sure it will thrive for many more years. IOS 9 By: Joey, Garrett, and Luke IOS 9 is the new software update for iphone/ipad/ipod. This is a very big software update and adds a lot of applications, and in this article we will be talking about these changes. The first and biggest change is that you can split the screen by dragging the right side of your screen the left, which is very handy for multitasking. Another new feature is the vast array of new emoticons (emoji s) which are all a very cool addition to the emoji library. We are sure they will be used many times in the future. Even though it is a very good update, it still has its downsides, such as if you have an ipad and leave your Wi-Fi area, when you come back you have to sometimes type in the password again. That can be frustrating! This update has its pro s and con s, but remember it s still in its early stages so don t be too hard on it. Personally we really like it!

By Anthony Carr and Jeff Bustamante HALLOWEEN FUN FACTS by Myranda Sanchez The color orange and black are the main theme color for Halloween. The color orange represents the fall season, but the color black represents darkness. Pumpkins don t just come in the color orange, they also come in the colors white, blue, and green for great unique monster carvings. Chocolate candy bars, are one of the most popular candies to give out to kids for trick-ortreating. Halloween is the 2 nd best, successful holiday, while Christmas is the first.
