College Tools: RateMyProfessors.com

November 23, 2009 · Filed Under College Life 101, Tech · 1 Comment 

Continuing with the College Tools post, I would like to introduce another useful tool: RateMyProfessors.com. This website is very well known in compared to the previous tool mentioned Cramster.com but not everyone seems to use it. In this website you will find a review on almost any teacher in your college. If he is not in the website for whatever reason then you should add a review to that teacher. Before people had to rely on a friend telling you what teachers are good, which ones are easy and etc. but now we can just hear from other students we don’t even know. A lot of professors are aware of this website and often like to criticize it because of course they do not want to accept the reality of them being a sucky professor or that there classes are extremely hard.
It is always a good idea to get some references on which teacher to take for your next class, the reviews are usually pretty accurate.

T-Mobile Outage.

November 4, 2009 · Filed Under Tech · Comment 

T-Mobile seem to have suffered a massive outage today.According to some friends, text messages started getting delayed at around 5:30pm (Easter Time). After 6pm the text messages started to get lost and some messages never got sent. Calling was not allowed or receiving calls from 6-8pm. So far the problem seem to be in New York State, I’m not aware if it was a national problem or a regional problem or a national problem. As of now the problem seems to have been in limited parts because not many people are aware of this issue. For sure it seems like t-mobile users in VA weren’t affected by the outage.

It seems like it was a Nationwide issue according to Mashable, Gizmodo and other Blogs.
