...rational well phone-equipped person consider dropping a perfectly good device and plunking down $599 (because a 4 gig model is out of the question if an 8 gig model is available) for a new phone? With analysts estimating over 500,000 phones sold just last weekend, perhaps search term data could help us figure out why we've gone iPhone crazy...
...variations on iPhone queries tell an interesting story. Of the 1600 searches that contained "iPhone," the most common theme was cost, with five of the top 20 searches looking for pricing information. The 8th most popular (and optimistically naive) query confirms our suspicions from my last column, "free iPhone." The second most popular search mission is for reviews of the new phone.

But several weeks after Nabel's under-the-radar visit, Faust named Barbara J. McNeil, a professor of health care policy, to lead the school on a temporary basis while Faust rushed to find a permanent leader...
...Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by The Crimson against Harvard. The lawsuit contended that because the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) is endowed with “special state police powers”—such as the ability to make arrests and obtain search warrants—it should provide access to the same reports released by public police forces...
