Starting Jan. 28, students will be able to order coursepacks online, through an interface similar to the one used by Amazon.com. Each student will place an order in advance on a centralized website, pay with a credit card or charge the item to a termbill and then—after receiving an e-mail notification of its fulfillment—saunter into the science center to pick it up. The efficient and time-saving system is a tremendous improvement to filling out course numbers on a piece of paper, standing in line for dozens of minutes and then either paying...

Hotels don't come any more idiosyncratic than Tokyo's newly refurbished Claska, and that's a credit to its designers, Tei Shuwa of Intentionallies (best known for their line of cooking appliances) and British design gurus Tomato (whose clients range from Nike to MTV). Remodeled from a 1960s business hotel, Claska has become the talk of Tokyo , which until now didn't have a world-class boutique hotel...
