...Microsoft conceived the Zune as an answer to iPod, with attractive similarities as well as key features that the iPod lacks. It is very much like an iPod - at $250, the 30GB music and video player is the same price as an iPod, only a little larger in size. And, like iTunes, the Zune software combines a media organizer and an Internet music download store. The so-called "iPod killer" additions are wireless connectivity for Zune-to-Zune sharing of music samples, a movie-friendly wide screen, and an "all you can eat" monthly music download plan...
...question isn't what can the Zune do that the iPod can't do, but what can the Zune do that all the other non-iPods can't? Microsoft's answer is wireless connectivity. It's not a bad idea: You're listening to a song and think, hey, I should send this track to my friend. You click on the song's name, then select "Send." Nearby Zunes are quickly listed, and you select your friend, who then clicks OK to permit the download. In seconds, the entire song is transferred. Your friend has three days to listen...
...Harvard professor of chemistry and chemical biology has co-authored an innovative computer program to answer the ongoing puzzle of how proteins fold inside cells, a breakthrough that could improve understanding of degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Eugene I. Shakhnovich and his collaborators, graduate students Eric J. Deeds and Isaac A. Hubner, outline their findings in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The computer model simulates the lightning-quick process of microscopic protein folding for up to 10 microseconds, or 1,000 times longer than ever before...
Today, the Faculty will begin to take on the central and difficult question of what students should know to graduate from Harvard. The Task Force on General Education has produced a serious and thoughtful answer to this question. It has proposed that the College train students for citizenship in a global society and, to that end, require students to take courses in ten diverse areas from reason and faith to analytical reasoning. I fear, however, that the proposal goes too far in rejecting the Core Curriculum’s “approaches to knowledge” in favor...
...house’s 75th birthday, celebrated this past Thursday. In the face of silly toilet handles, toxic flooding, false alarms, and one very unhinged fireman, what can Eliot do to restore itself to glory? For what it’s worth, we think we have the answer. Bring Ben Folds to the Fête...
