The math-science death march. Now that is a perfect name for it. It's exactly what I lived through and why I changed my major halfway through college from chemical biology to art and technology. Why, you might ask? - being pushed through a

The Apple stores putting up curtains and temporarily closing is just so lovely and classy. What a beautiful aspect of the memorial.

That is not what I am saying at all and I am sorry if that is how I am being interpreted. My comment was not made in malice or ignorance. Understanding that this is not the worst option is the first step to understanding the situation as a

In response to: If every person's situation is relative, then how do we oppose slavery or abuse? It's better than starving to death, right? While I get what you are saying and am by no means arguing in favor of Fox Con, I believe you are tu

We talked about exactly this in my Ethics in Technology class and came to the same conclusion you've stated. Yes, this is terrible from our perspective because we outlawed those kind of working conditions years ago. But if there were better

Well I was dressed well for YCNYC. But that's because I'm a girl and I enjoy dressing well. So I wore a nice dress and a short sleeved jacket. I felt really confident about what I was wearing until someone told me I looked like I didn't bel

Chance meetings are wonderful. But when you have an opportunity as rare as this one, why fall back upon chance when you can facilitate? When you can do more, you should. For instance, what if the color coding was expanded upon and added to

I agree with this 100%. The talks were wonderful and incredibly inspiring. But oh wow, was the networking overwhelming. It was such a challenge to figure out who to talk to and many people that I did talk to agreed. Obviously this wasn't so

As someone who also lives in Hoboken, I second the suggestion of living here. It's beautiful, safe, and fun. A good amount of the population is young and everything is within walking distance. And you're just a 10 minute PATH ride to the ci

I second the third point. My most productive times are when I have my iPad right next to my laptop ready and waiting for me to need the internet. If I need to look something up I'll do so on the iPad and keep it open if I need to refer to i

The point is that when you're actually using your Macbook, you do not see the back of it. It makes more sense for it to be right side up when open so that everyone else sees it the proper way instead of right side up when closed and in the

As awesome as that setup is, I can't imagine any college being okay with it. Holes in the wall? Glue? Custom flooring even. The amount of damage that all must have caused would give Resident Life an aneurism. Where I go, we have a $400 hous
