Pantech Marauder is official for Verizon, priced at $50 after rebate

Pantech has been a little absent from Verizon's smartphone lineup lately, excluding last year's Breakout, and now they have put another handset into their lineup. Pantech is now releasing the Marauder on Verizon for $50 (after $50 mail-in rebate) with a 2 year contract on August 2nd. The Marauder is a QWERTY keyboard smartphone that is geared towards the first-time smartphone buyer. This new handset has a 1.2GHZ dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a 3.8 inch WVGA display, a 5 megapixel camera, the ability to act as a mobile hotspot, a five-row keyboard, LTE connectivity, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. As the price and specs show, you are not buying a very high-end handset with the Marauder but these specs will definitely satisfy the target demographic. A noteworthy feature of this phone is that it can switch between two different UI's, Starter mode and Standard mode. The Starter mode has a simple UI, and is basically a simplified version of Android for the first-time buyers. The Standard mode is either stock Android or close to stock Android for the people that are used to Android more. Overall, the Marauder looks like a nice addition to Verizon's lineup, and it looks like a great buy for people who are buying their first smartphone.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

The Pursuit of Being Trash, with the Confederate Flag

Racial tensions have been high in the United States for awhile now, and in some areas, very similar to how they were during the 1960's Civil Rights movement. As a result, many problems have been exposed. Most recently, there was the horrible slaughtering of nine innocent churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina. This was without a doubt a horrible, racially motivated event that blatantly showed once again how far America has to go to completely eradicate racism. Not only did this show how racism is still thriving in our country, it also sparked a debate over one of this country’s most racist symbols ever made: the Confederate flag. Everyone is arguing over the flag, but what is the actual argument? Right now, the Confederate flag is flying over the South Carolina capitol building and is currently apart of many states’ flags. Even though the Confederate States of America dissolved almost 150 years ago, they still felt the need to fly the flag. There are states that do not wave...

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...
