...conference, "F8." What made F8 significant, historic even, was that it was the first time the Facebook platform was thrown open to developers. Anyone who knew how to write applications for Facebook was invited in. Andreessen says an open-coding environment is key to any successful platform because the easier it is to use, the more developers will be drawn to it, making the platform that much more powerful. Facebook also gave developers free distribution. Users who want to add a new app can do so with one-click simplicity. All this, says Andreessen, who is rumored to be considering...
...best apps. Robert Lam, whose Eco2go was named last month as one of the 50 finalists for the top prizes, says he decided to develop his application, which helps users compute and reduce their carbon footprints, for the Android platform rather than the iPhone because it's so much easier. Developing for the iPhone "would have cost us an annual fee to list our application, and we would have to share 30% of our revenue with Apple as well," Lam says. That said, Lam is already looking into porting the app over to the iPhone after Eco2go is established...

...record against a very strong Ivy field. Harvard’s two conference wins came against Brown and Columbia. The first was a gritty win in which Harvard edged the Bears by a single goal, 14-13; the second victory came against Columbia, whom Harvard beat in an easier 12-8 decision. Sandwiched between those two wins was a five-game losing streak that took the Crimson out of league contention. Harvard’s defense never allowed fewer than 11 goals during the skid and surrendered 18 tallies at home to both Boston University and Princeton. Despite the poor...
...increasing number of applicants for admission will make it easier for the College to choose a larger number of freshmen from those applicants with a predicted rank list of Group I or II. Indeed, even now there is much support for choosing the incoming class from those candidates with the highest predicted Rank List. This feeling is most prevalent among the younger faculty members, products of the modern Ph.D. factories, and among some members of the science departments...
