been updated.
b. This article is somewhat relevant to my original topic. Its not
exactly what I was looking for but it is along the same lines as
my original topic.

professional blogger and works for Crunch Time. She has also
worked in numerous industries like software, which makes me
believe she is pretty qualified to write about such.

the globe. There seems to be no bias, mostly objective material.

writer or double check the information they are giving or hope for
the best.
