I used opacity, the eraser, and the clone stamp to add the red cape. I used the black and white function to make the cape stick out.

Here I used the clone stamp feature to fix the rotting part of the apple. I turned down the saturation to make the picutre less yellow. I used the paint brush to write "good apple" on the board and I used the lasso and paint bucket to change the color of the shadow.

The Coming Tug of War Over the Internet

Since the beginning of the internet companies such as Google, Yahoo, Amazon and Ebay have recieved equal rights to the internet without much payment to the telecommunications companies such as AT&T, Verizon, BellSouth, Time Warner and Comcast. These telecommunications companies are now wondering how they will support their building of faster, better communication lines. They are considering charging fees to companies such as Google and Yahoo for using their services.

It's hard to blame the provider companies for their desire to charge fees. They provide the servers and they should be re-imbursed for it. But, many believe the extra cost to internet companies could affect the flow of information that makes the internet so amazing. The telephone companies disagree saying that the companies that pay more for their service will get priority and have a better connection.

I don't think the government should step in and create a neutrality law to stop the telephone companies from charging more. Google, Yahoo and others will adapt and maybe with the improved services their business will increase, even though they are paying a little more to the telephone companies.
