Well, the title sounds good, but actually the comic novel of the Duke University is much more. It explores the copyright law in an entertaining yet very informing way. So if you create music, pictures, books etc. learn how to protect your rights. And learn how to use (or not!) other people’s work respecting their rights. Very recommended!

Six More German Universities Get “Elite” Status | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 19.10.2007
An international panel of researchers and political representatives in Germany has bestowed the label “elite university” on six more institutions which will now receive hundreds of millions in extra research funds.

With these newly picked universities there are 9 “Elite Universities” in Germany: RWTH Aachen, FU Berlin, Heidelberg, Konstanz, Goettingen, Freiburg, Munich (2) and Karlsruhe. Over a period of 5 years they will benefit from a 1.9 billion euros fund from the government.

If you consider to study in Germany, learn to do research, since the fund is dedicated to research!

The Frankfurt Institute of Management - www.FIM-Jakarta.com - can be reached from now on under www.MrTJakarta.com as well. We are not renaming the institute but just make it more convenient for our visitors to remember the site’s URL. For many of them “Mr. T” is almost a sort of a trademark since students remember their lecturer’s nickname. Maybe next time we make “Mr. T” a mascot - any suggestions of how this mascot should look like?

“On-campus Mac users quadruple”, titles the PRINCETONIAN.

This year, the University’s Student Computer Initiative has sold more Macs than PCs. Students were offered a selection of Dell, IBM and Apple computers, and 60 percent chose Macs, up from 45 percent last year.

This seems not only to happen at Princeton University:

Princeton is not the only campus where Mac use is on the rise. At a recent college technology conference, Shahbender found that Mac sales also had significantly increased at MIT, Columbia, Dartmouth, Penn, Duke, Stanford, Cornell and Brown over the past few years.
