We're down to our last two months for this semester, but there is always room for more knowledge especially with computer tech always evolving. Next month, the highly awaited Recognition Day will surely make studying more inspiring for the semifinals and finals.

Last month's polls, 85% preferred taking ONLINE EXAMS over PAPER-BASED EXAMS.

Tech News
Browser Battles: Firefox, IE or Google's Chrome?
As the college computers rely on Mozilla Firefox & MS IE, Google has debuted its own browser app called Chrome to join in the bandwagon. But would you trade your efficient Firefox over the new kid on the block? First, what is Chrome? To get statistics and answers straight from serious reviews, read here to know more about Chrome's browsing performance. Reading from the article, Chrome looks promising. But for me, I'd still stick with Firefox. though, we'll never know, Chrome might overtake to the top.


Around The Web
Great Shoe Lacing Tips
Almost everybody has a pair of sneakers in their closet. But would it be extraordinarily fun if you tied your laces differently to set yourself apart from the average Converse-wearing classmate?? Anyway, at Ian's Shoe-Lace Site, you can learn unique shoelacing techniques and tips. You can even get shoe-tying variations. If the procedures make you VERY confused or if you don't own any sneakers at all, view the site's archive of shoe-lacing photos, and perhaps, you can get the inspiration to join in the craze!
