A lecturer sparked my imagination the other day when she asked the class what the university might be like if Richard Branson were running it. It would certainly be very different than it is now. Maybe he’d do away with lectures? Perhaps he’d insist on a hand-on entrepreneurship experience? Maybe there’d be free beer on the lawn every day and live music every night? Its an interesting topic and I’d like to hear your thoughts…
What would Virgin University look like?
I’m 4 days late here, but Happy 10th Birthday Blogger! Although I chose not to use you, you’ve certainly changed the world palpably in your first decade.
Provocative ad placement at Caulfield Station, next to a campus that specialises in marketing (amongst other things)? I like it.
“After more than 25 years as a pioneer and leader in the mobile industry, Nokia will bring its rich mobility heritage and knowledge to the PC world with the new, Windows based, Nokia Booklet 3G.”
This will be interesting. Too bad they didn’t choose a different OS, though.
Great news for those still stuck over in Hotmail land. Hotmail is now accessible using POP3 (POP3, how quaint*!). This means that you can now access your Hotmail through any email client you like, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Apple Mail, and best of all, through Gmail! All you need to do is set up a Gmail account, go into the settings and add your hotmail account under POP3. You’ll then be able to send and receive your email through your hotmail account while taking advantage of Gmail’s cool features, like auto-save drafts (never lose that email you spent 15 minutes typing out again!), conversation-view (view all the replies to an email as one thread), a class-leading SPAM filter, tags, and so on! Welcome to the future, Hotmail users :)
