...student groups geared up for the fall semester, their websites went down. Harvard Computer Society (HCS), which hosts websites for 798 student groups, has been experiencing server difficulty since Saturday, according to HCS Systems Administrator Matthew S. Fasman ’08. Fasman is also an editor on the Crimson Information Technology Board. The crash has temporarily made websites hosted by HCS unavailable, disrupting student activities. For instance, the Harvard College in Asia Project (HCAP) is in “prime recruiting season,” said HCAP President Daniel Mejia ’07, who is also the Associate...
...Lucky Voice, the British capital's most authentically Japanese karaoke bar featuring nine private rooms that hold up to 12 people. Once you and your fellow croonies have settled onto the semicircular benches in your snug, dimly lit lair, press a glowing button labeled "Thirsty," which summons a smiling server, and you'll be downing cocktails and nibbling on dim sum in minutes. Our test troupe of warblers featured dead ringers for Alanis Morissette alongside nervous off-key newbies who quickly lost their inhibitions and refused to give up the microphone. But beware of karaoke's addictive quality: after such...
...first coin-operated vending machine to sell holy water. The modern precursor of today's machines surfaced in 1880s London, dispensing postcards. Since then, machines have been used to sell everything from, well, soup to nuts. But they've remained fully rooted in the analog world. Enter Crowley's server-based company. It transforms video-game machines to offer 30 different games instead of one, and gives jukeboxes the capacity to deliver 2.2 million songs. Crowley expects the Coke machines could tap into that same tuneful database and sell downloads of full music tracks. That's a potentially huge moneymaker...
...tidy chart, tabs and all. But the best part about the elegant interface is that it encourages collaboration. That is, it allows multiple users, logged in from different computers, to update the same spreadsheet simultaneously while text-chatting in a separate window. (The chart is stored on a Google server, rather than locally on a PC's hard drive.) You can invite others to edit or view your spreadsheet with a quick email without leaving the page. Google, having recently purchased Writely.com is expected to introduce a similar free tool for writers who wish to collaborate in real time...
...Vietnam and you are likely to be welcomed by a steaming bowl of the national dish “pho bò,” or beef noodle soup. Look around the café and you might notice something odd: almost every patron is male and almost every server is female. Go outside and the story is similar. While men wile away the days idling over iced coffee, women toil in the paddies, planting rice, gathering it, and then manning stalls to sell it at market. Holding all top political and business jobs, men run the show—women...
