Remember those days of swimming in the neighborhood pool and bouncing off of the cement floor? While fun for a third-grader, it was not so much fun for the Harvard women’s water polo team. Playing in No. 11 Hartwick’s shallow Moyer Pool on Saturday, the Crimson (11-10, 0-1 CWPA North) faced defensive trouble in the new environment, eventually falling to the Hawks...

...rest of the characters function more as  shallow types rather than direct appropriations. Worthington, (whose semi-human characters in “Avatar” and the abysmal “Teminator Salvation” are remarkably similar to that of Perseus), plays the inexperienced, yet brave and naturally talented “chosen one” struggling internally to balance idealism and principle with his desire to save humanity.  Determined to avenge his father’s death at the hands of the gods, Perseus needs to decide whether or not to use the gifts...

...Nonetheless, back in those days the Mac was derided as a toy, a media poseur's plaything and a shallow triumph of style over substance by those with a belief that computers, as utilitarian tools performing serious functions for business, should be under the control not of the user but of IT technicians and systems engineers. Despite the PC's eventual adoption of a Mac-style graphical user interface with the release of Windows 95, the damage had been done to Apple. By 1997, the company was in deep crisis. Douglas and I got used to the gloating sympathy...

...immune to that kind of thing, or you think it somehow weak, pretentious, artsy-fartsy or unbusinesslike, then there are enough functional objects in the market for you. But you might consider this: from the starting point of delight, detail, finish, polish and design come not, it seems, shallow high-end toys for the affluent but increasingly products that are ... well, awesomely functional. The iPhone App Store has certainly offered silly digital tchotchkes, but more and more serious professional tools are emerging for medical, military and industrial use too. The iPhone, like the Mac, was derided upon introduction...

Frustratingly, however, this existential angst is as banal and simplistic as the characters’ blatantly symbolic names, and the play’s drama too often feels shallow. For instance, immediately after Mr. Zero reveals his crime to his wife, a solo musical number follows in which he oh-so-metaphorically wails his woes from a metal chain-link metal half-fence, thrashing about like a caged animal. In this nihilistic moment, his life comes undone. By grasping at threads of multiple modern philosophies, any coherent structure to the play is lost...
