New Microsoft Phone

Microsoft has recently (November 8, 2010) released a new phone called the Windows Phone 7. The design of the phone is simple, to get you quick access to the important features on your phone, like missed calls new messages new emails and of course the phone. The main screen of the phone has only a few big buttons that display all the information needed for those simple features. These buttons, which Microsoft calls tiles, can be moved around, added or deleted and update in real time. The phone is written in a new language designed by Microsoft called Metro.

My Bed Room

I live in fox this year and my bed room has a few major design flaws. The biggest issue is that the light switch is all the way on the opposite side of the room from the door. This means that if you come in at night and want a light you need to stumble across the room to get to the light. This is really annoying. The second problem is the location of the outlets. The only outlet near my bed is about half way down my bed and the exact height of the mattress. I dont have a light next to my bed because there are no outlets near by. Also I use my phone as my alarm clock so I want it next to my bed. So I plug my cell phone charger into the outlet next to my bed. Like I said before the outlet is the same height as the mattress so the mattress bangs into the charger and sometimes unplugs it. Its like when the room was designed they didnt know that it was for a dorm because these problems are so obvious that its just lazy to mot make it better.
