Not only to upload faster but also to let people express their opinion on somethings that was brought up on a news. For example :CNN, Eyewitness news , and etc. Some times it may even be brought up on some website and people will be arguing about the topics that was written.

Why:People wanting to get the most item with the cheapest cost on the item.
This was a very interesting when i read the "Calming the Black Friday Crowds" by Stephanie Rosenbloom in the business section. It is interesting how they bought up the disaster that happened last year Black Friday. Where a temporary worker who worked in Walmart got stepped on by some surely crowd. Now this year company like Walmat and Best Buy are trying to have a better system to let the crowd in instead of letting them in all at one time. What best Buy will do is hand out tickets which say what item they are most likely going to get them which ease the buyer mind. Hopefully this year Black Friday will be one of the most organize one in a long time.

This article was found in the nytimes 's world section. Where i came across this article about an important chinese leader who led China into accomplishing a lot of things named Qian Xuesen. Qian was a rocket scientist who had helped the American people and the Chinese people. But on Octuber 31,2009 Qian had died at the age of 98 in BeiJing.
