...screenwriting class is too selective to keep up with its demand. “The creative writing department here sucks,” mourns James C. Oliver ’06, who was rejected from the seminar this semester. “I was like, ‘Hi. This is what I do. This is what I want to do. This is gonna be the most relevant class in my entire time at Harvard to take,’” says Oliver of his fallen hopes.The course received 72 applications this spring, but less than half...
...Hi-Fi is something of a hybrid iPod dock - not quite a "bookshelf" stereo, but not quite a home-theater system either. It's more expensive than the Bose SoundDock and Klipsch iGroove, but those are meant for small spaces. The bigger, heavier Hi-Fi is meant to fill a room. Still, though it has an auxiliary input for stereo sources, it's not necessarily something you'd think to connect to your cable set-top box. And because it's all one piece, it wouldn't make a good speaker system for a computer...

...Whereever one chooses to put the thing, it will certainly sound terrific. Hi-Fi can get a lot louder than the Bose and still maintain the clarity of its sound. (I didn't test it against the Klipsch.) And even though the left and right channels share a central 4.5-in. woofer for rich mid-range, I didn't hear a problem with stereo separation. Things were as spread as they can be in a single unit. The only thing buyers needs to be wary of is that the files on their iPods - not necessarily iTunes purchases, but perhaps songs...
...Hi-Fi might have been the star last week, but the introduction of an Intel-based Mini and the updated Bonjour networking software have made Apple's home-theater aspirations a little clearer. Apple has two desktop lines and one laptop line that can be operated with remote controls, and that - according to my tests - are able to effortlessly access each other's music and video files. Now the company is hinting that perhaps one of these remote-controlled Macs should live next to your...
