6/26    Berkeley is climbing up in ranking, YAY!
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_Ranking_of_World_Universities
        \_ According to this ASP page, we're #5!
           http://www.webometrics.info/top12000.asp
           \_ I don't care if we don't make it to the top 3 or top 10 or
              whatever.  But being ranked behind Stanfraud?  What an insult!

3/7     Does anyone else think the iPad3 isn't really that much better
        than the iPad2?  I don't really understand the hype.
        \_ 5MP camera?  My 1-yr-old Android phone has a 8MP auto-focus camera
           (plus a 1MP focus-free one on the front.)
              \_ The iPad camera seems like a joke to me.  The iPad is just
                 to big to be useful for taking pictures.  Maybe it makes

8/28    Hi, anybody printed a photo image to a big plotter?  Something like
        36"x36"?  I'm wondering how many megapixels the image need to
        have in order for the print to "look good".  There is a rule of
        thumb?  Like 6 megapixel is good for X size print.  10 megapixel
        is good for Y size print.  Thanks.
        \_ You don't need that many more megapixels for much bigger prints,

12/12   Hey Camera wanks, here's a cake for you:
    http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/12/birthday_cake_made_into_t.html
        \_ Nice, thanks! FYI that's a D700, $2700 new on Adorama/Amazon
           and $2200 on eBay new. It's arguably the best DSLR for night
           time, giving you 1-1.5 stops advantage over all the cameras
           besides the D3 due to the size per pixel compared to the

        And quit squishing changes.

        \_ Why the hell is this worth posting? What a waste of my time.

10/8    I'm looking for a handheld video player can do hdtv (720P?) video
        out and play Xvid and Divx video.  Does such a beast exist?
        \_ I saw someone on BART about a year ago watching movies on a device
           about 1" think and just slightly larger than a DVD.  I didn't quiz
           her on what formats it supported but I was sure jealous she was
           watching a movie while I was watching Oakland go by.

8/5     I'm thinking of getting a serious SLR camera. Costco is selling
        a Canon SLR for $1299. Is that a decent SLR at a decent price?
        \_ If you don't know, you shouldn't be buying a $1300 camera.  -tom
           \_ I agree with tom.  What do you need it for?  If you don't
              know, it's obviously not _worth_ it.  If you do know, only you
              can make that decision.  If you're wondering about price

11/02   A one megapixel picture on screen looks pretty good.  Yet if you print
        the same picture on a sheet of paper that's the same size as the screen
        image, it looks bad regardless of what inkjet/laser printer you use.
        Why is there a difference?
        \_ That's a good question.  Assuming a proper photo print out
           (real developed photo or dye-sublimation printing), I can

Social Sciences Citation Index (20 percent) and the per capita academic performance (on the indicators above) of an institution (10 percent). edit Influence As the first multi-indicator ranking of global universities, ARWU has attracted a great deal of attention from universities, governments and media. The ARWU ranking and its content have been widely cited and applied as a starting point for identifying national strengths and weaknesses as well as facilitating reform and setting new initiatives. European commissioner of Education, Jan Figel, pointed out in an interview in 2007 that "if you look at the Shanghai index, we are the strongest continent in terms of numbers and potential but we are also shifting into a secondary position in terms of quality and attractiveness. Science that "France's poor showing in the Shanghai ranking ... helped trigger a national debate about higher education that resulted in a new law... THE - QS World Methodology is based on Academic Peer Review and Employer Review respectively. In essence, any unfavorable image developed by a group of universities, associated by country, tends to harm their collective rankings. For this reason, universities worldwide should seriously consider adhering to internationally accepted standards so that they do not run the risk of sliding in the ranks on the international front. Vincke analyze how the ARWU works, using their insights as specialists of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Their main conclusions are that the criteria used are not relevant; that the aggregation methodology has a number of major problems; think that the quality of universities cannot be precisely measured by mere numbers and any ranking must be controversial. They suggest that university and college rankings should be used with caution and their methodologies must be understood clearly before reporting or using the results. suggested that (in common with all ranking systems they reviewed), the ranking lacked construct validity modest concordance between the Shanghai and Times rankings. The Youth Incorporated Rankings don't lay much focus on research done by faculty. The focus of the rankings is more on recruiter perception and student satisfaction. The ranking is omitted for years in which the school did not land within the top 100. If a university is not listed in this table, it did not rank in the top 100 in any of the eight years tabulated.
