- When I met Andy and Zoe recently, both were in a kind of strange mood that had apparently been caused by having to deal with a delegation of North Koreans for a prolonged period of time. To entertain them, I promised to post a North Korea quiz that I had found in one of the summer supplements of Libιration. Here it is: What is the name that propaganda usually calls the "Great Leader" Kim Il-sung?(a) The Sun. |

- Ανδρέας Ανδρεόπουλος, πρύτανης του Ε.Μ. Πολυτεχνείου: «Αγοραία παρέμβαση στο σύστημα της ανώτατης εκπαίδευσης» «Θεωρώντας ότι η ανώτατη εκπαίδευση είναι δημόσιο αγαθό, αντιτασσόμαστε στα ιδιωτικά πανεπιστήμια, ακόμη και αναφερόμενοι σε σχολές με υψηλό διεθνές κύρος. Τούτο διότι, η παρεχόμενη παιδεία οφείλει να εξασφαλίζει ουσιαστική μόρφωση και να είναι απαλλαγμένη από επιρροές των επιχειρήσεων ή άλλων οικονομικών παραγόντων, που εύλογα θα επιδίωκαν να την κατευθύνουν με κριτήριο τα πρόσκαιρα οφέλη τους. |

- One of the greatest benefits of weblogs is that I can continue to learn long after I've finished my schooling. We studied market penetration in our Consumer Behavior class, and I've often wondered if the bell curve for production adoption isn't skewed for some classes of products. VentureBlog thinks so, excerpts below: Many authors, from Everett Rogers to Geoffrey Moore to Malcom Gladwell, have studied the diffusion patterns and mechanisms of new product adoption. The classic representation of this pattern is the bell curve with equal sized early adopters and laggards on either side and the big mass in the middle. |
