...central scroll wheel has a "free spin" mode, so that you can blaze through hundred-page Excel spreadsheets or Word documents, accelerating and decelerating until you get where you want to be. The scroll wheel actually engages and disengages the free spin depending on what application you're in, and what you're doing. If you are inching through a news story, you get the familiar bump-by-bump ratchet action, but if you land on your friend's mile-long blog and start scrolling, the ratchet bumps go away and the wheel's spin becomes Lance Armstrong smooth...
...Like computers, the news itself was scarcer during our pre-CNN, pre-Web college years. The Crimson newsroom of our era was dominated by the AP machine, a chest-high teletype that pumped bulletins into our midst by stamping upper-case letters onto an endless, Kerouacian scroll.

A free newspaper with job openings, the Urals Work Weekly, would be as thick as the yellow pages if such a phone book existed. Russia hasn't yet discovered equal opportunity laws, so most jobs stipulate that only those under...
...features photo album tools, friend connection descriptions, and the ever-exciting Pulse. Swell as all of these developments are, I have a proposal for Mr. Zuckerberg. Mark, something is missing from your website. Something big. Every time I log onto Facebook (read: 30-some times a day) and scroll through my own profile, I feel as though an enormous piece of me is absent. Sure, listed are my interests, my favorite music and movies, and my favorite quote, but an entire element of my personality is left out: my aversions. We need a “grievances” section...
