...Midnight munchers, you may rejoice. After a year of inactivity due to faulty infrastructure, the Quincy Grille will be up and runing again, starting this Saturday night. The culprit—a grease-clogged vent—was repaired over the summer, and after passing a sanitation inspection yesterday, the Grille has now officially been deemed both safe and sanitary. While the Grille will still be recognisable to those who remember it, this year’s managers, Ben J. Conlee ’07 and Adam P. Schneider ’07, have a few changes up their sleeves...
...many new features, one of the most ambitious being that it adds artwork to music you may have ripped from CDs or downloaded from less legitimate sources. I found that the service worked well in most cases - even pulling up art for obscure albums in my collection like Midnight Star's 1983 No Parking on the Dance Floor - although it won't tag artists that haven't made deals with iTunes yet, like the Beatles and Dave Matthews Band.

Currier’s unfortunate plethora of singles has allowed students to enjoy each other’s company without their blockmates or roommates being the wiser. No rubber bands on the doorknob. No midnight exiles. No morning shaming. Currier had previously been free of all the natural built-in deterrents that make students stop, think, and just say “No, I will not turn my room into a den of immorality.” But now, thanks to the generous purchase...
...acquisition created a radically altered and geographically scattered management team. Amelio is based in Raleigh with former IBMers; Yang and his team are in China with most of the manufacturing operations. Executives complain of midnight conference calls and perpetual jet lag. "Lenovo is really living in a flat world," says Amelio. Meshing Chinese and American corporate cultures hasn't been easy either. The Chinese are stressed by having to speak English, the company's official language, made harder by rapid-fire talkers like Amelio. "We have to ask him several times to slow down," says He. "He just doesn...
