I don’t know about you, but when I saw this video, the only thing I thought to myself i: “Software should always look, work and feel like this.”
This is more than a game changer. This is a whole new game.

Really nice idea, and great for saving money. Still seems a bit of a “quick and dirty” solution to me. Still, I’d rather eliminate those cables rather than having to manage them.
The Mint Blog on seasonal produce:
Seasonal produce is cheaper simply because there’s a lot of it to sell, with stores and farmer’s markets pushing down prices to grab sales before the product spoils. Much of the fruits and vegetables come from local sources, too, cutting the transportation and storage costs associated with, say, flying in strawberries from Chile in December.
It tastes better, costs less, and saves the planet. Now, student, what is the smart choice here?
“The diligent farmer plants trees, of which he himself will never see the fruit.” — Cicero
It’s not like you haven’t heard of global warming. You get bombarded with tips and rules on how to please Al Gore. The most common suggestions include “buy a hybrid car”, “buy efficient bulbs” and “don’t fly”.
As a student, none of those apply to me in any way. I can’t afford a car, I have one lightbulb in my student room and college isn’t really the kind of occupation that sends you flying across the globe twice a week.
So what could I do in my student life to tackle this? I didn’t just want to be “green” for the sake of it. Going green also means reducing cost, living more efficiently (which is probably a weird fetish of mine, but that’s what Economics teaches you) and sustainably while using up as little of our planet as we can. Here’s what every student can do to do their part:
Gmail to drop IE6 support this year
Microsoft’s reaction:
“For its part, Microsoft has endorsed Google’s advice to ditch IE6. “We support this recommendation to move off Internet Explorer 6,” said Microsoft spokesman Brandon LeBlanc in an entry on the Windows Experience blog.”
Good for them.
