  • By Damian Alessandro ’19. In most popular histories of computing, the Apple II personal computer (1977) stands out as a pathbreaker among early devices in the PC Revolution. But how innovative was Apple’s first mass-market computer, and what design features and ideas helped it stand…

    was divided by many ratios to create all frequencies needed. He discovered that more costs could be cut by using software to look up the address of scanlines, instead of storing them in sequential areas of memory. Software was also used for the high-resolution graphics mode which was determined by pixel position, meaning Woz did not need chips to convert bit patterns into colors. Initially, the Apple II used data cassette storage, which was consistent with other microcomputers of the time. However

  • TACOMA, WASH. (April 6, 2016)-The seventh episode of “Open to Interpretation” features a discussion of the word “failure” among host and Associate Professor of Communication Amy Young, Associate Professor of Art and Design Jp Avila , and Assistant Professor of Business Kory Brown . “Open…

    failure and to talk about it. It was just that open-ended in terms of the data gathering. We ended up with thousands of opportunities to code their statements. We found a few interesting things. We are able to actually cluster their statements into three major categories. One was very much an external attribution, the market was really bad, the economy really hurt my opportunity to be successful in my business. Amy Young: A little scapegoating maybe. Kory Brown: There are certainly was but there were

  • co-working office space.” Rodie was developing his own plans for a bar and restaurant, and the two men decided to join forces. The result was the Churchill, a collective of small businesses that has become a hip destination since it opened in September 2018. Duncan and Rodie’s concept stood out for two main reasons. First, the Churchill’s restaurants, bars and retail shops are housed in repurposed shipping containers that share a 9,000-square-foot courtyard. Such recycled structures existed in

  • Columbia University REU Program Posted by: alemanem / December 17, 2019 December 17, 2019 This materials research program encompasses two research thrusts around the theme of building higher dimensional materials from lower dimensional structures with unprecedented levels of control. The first thrust combines two-dimensional layered materials such as graphene into layered heterostructures; the second combines molecular ‘superatoms’ into three-dimensional solids.  Both thrusts are built around
