...whole iLife digital-hub positioning that brought the company back from the dead. During the iPad keynote, four of the most impressive (and in-depth) demos were content-creation apps: Brushes and the iWork trio. There is no doubt in my mind that some rendition of iLife will launch within a year on the iPad platform, most likely exactly one year from now, within a few minutes of Jobs showing off iPad2's mesmerizing new built-in camera...
Speaking of said camera - yes, I was disappointed that the iPad did not launch with one. But I think there's a very good case that it was worth it to ditch the camera to get to the $499 price point. The value of that number shouldn't be underestimated; everyone loves to bash Apple for its pricing hubris (particularly on hyped products like the iPad where you know they could effectively price it like an Aston Martin for the first month and still have lines at the Apple Store).

And with 37 flights in the past 36 months, it clearly knows its business.

If the administration had quickly established J-term once it had decided it wanted one, Harvard could have set aside funds for this initiative beforehand, and perhaps Harvard wouldn’t have had to forgo J-term programming this year. Additionally, rather than helping undergraduates maximize their January spent off campus, Harvard resources—such as the Office of Career Services—failed to provide meaningful information about potential J-term internships with alumni until...
