In November, the BCA warned that music fans who constantly use the scroll-wheel or buttons on their MP3 players are at risk of ‘iPod Finger’. It said young children are particularly susceptible to this form of RSI because their bones and muscles are not fully developed.

ZeroPaid.com has a rather in-depth article with plenty of links describing the (2006) state of P2P networks and what programs are popular these days.

Microsoft is offering free copies of Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2005, and Windows 2003 Server STD Edition to qualifying students.

On April 30th I completed the online validation process as a UC Berkeley student (I listen to the lecture podcasts), but I skipped the required part where I email or fax in documentation to support my claim of UC Berkeley Student status.

Three weeks later, after the deadline to submit the documentation had passed, my student status was confirmed anyways.
