Part4)
A) Feb 11,2015 no has not been updated
B) Yes it does relate to my topic because I wanted to find a articled that

from reading the article she seems to have a lot of knowledge of
technology.
D) The article seems to be accurate and she gives specific dates of when
the new mobile pack backs will arrive as well as official pictures of the
products
E) I think the Author is trying to make the product known. She is talking in

Part 5)
A) It was quicker to search and find the searches on the search engine
zdnet because it was located in the middle of the page. The data base
was good but you had to click on the tab which made it a little harder
but both were fairly easy to access.
B) It took me twice as long to find article that relates well to the
dimension of my topic on Zdnet. On the database it was faster one of
the first results was about my topic
C) In data base one I had a tab where I could search only peer review
scholarly journals so I know that article I where looking at where
trustworthy. They were all in scholar journals as well. Unlike Zdnet
where most of the results where random articles with no credible
sources
