...many ways, these companies are technology's standard-bearers, though their guiding philosophies differ. Google, for instance, advocates an "open" Web and tends to push for open standards and alliances among developers. Facebook, with its gated community of 70 million active users, offers a more controlled experience and, so far at least, wants to keep its users safely within its walls. Apple comes from the old world. Its elegant products cocoon customers from the chaos of the information age, but the Apple experience tends to be highly controlled, with Apple hardware at the end points and Apple software and services...

At the same time, they must also push every other Ivy League University to join them in issuing a statement publicly condemning “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” They should even urge President Drew Faust to take the issue to Washington and use her position to lobby for an end to this discriminatory practice...
...with a four-second win over Navy, a testament to the depth of the Radcliffe program. Bronze medals were earned by the first varsity and by both of the third varsity fours. The second varsity took fourth as did the novice eight. The momentum from this showing could not push the Black and White first varsity to the Grand Final at NCAAs, however, as Radcliffe finished fourth in its semifinal heat and was relegated to the Petite Final, where the Black and White finished first to take seventh place overall.—Staff writer Elizabeth A.
