H+ is a hydrogen ion, and it is an ion because it LOST an electron. Electrons are negatively charged. When an atom gains electrons it will have NEGATIVE charges.

Correct Answer: Remote control
Explanation:
The first wireless remote control for television was called Flashmatic. (Remember when you had to get up to change the channel?)
Correct Answer: Flash
Explanation:
It's commonly used for MP3 players, computer BIOS code and "thumb" drives. Originally developed in Japan by Toshiba, it has become quite popular for products requiring non-volatile erasable memory. Flash devices have a limited number of erase cycles (typically 10,000 to 1,000,000 cycles) so they're not as good a choice for applications in which the data changes constantly. However, since it has no moving parts (unlike a hard disk) it is an excellent choice for storing the operating code for small personal electronics like PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, and the data in items like MP3 players.
