AS SEEN ON: FOX's rickety 'Dollhouse' can't keep it together

By Brittany Coombs | February 25, 2009

It's tough not having a personality to call your own. Just ask any of the brainwashed beauties who regularly get their memories erased before donning new disguises in FOX's new sci-fi drama "Dollhouse." The show premiered two weeks ago to, deservingly, very little fanfare. In Dollhouse, young people called "Dolls" are carefully monitored by their "Handlers" within a hidden futuristic compound called "The Dollhouse," where they are kept blissfully unaware in between their illegal assignments as "Actives" in the real world. Actives are Dolls who have been temporarily endowed with new skills and personality traits.

Hop's invitational exhibition highlights printmaking

February 24, 2009

ASHLEY MITCHELL / The Dartmouth Staff The "Dartmouth Invitational Print Exhibition" currently on display in the Hopkins Center's Jaffe-Friede Gallery, proves that printmaking is an art form every bit as varied in technique and content as its more well-known counterparts -- namely photography and painting -- that often adorn the gallery's walls. Part of a biennial series of invitational exhibits focusing on different artistic media, the exhibit is hosted by the Studio Art Exhibition Committee, a group composed of seven studio art faculty members.

BOOKED SOLID: Can the Kindle relight a reading fire?

By Lucy Randall | February 19, 2009

On Feb. 9, Amazon.com unveiled the Kindle 2, the second generation e-book reader, calling it "Still amazing, only better." Amazon extensively promotes the new gadget with short video ads including customer testimonials ("I'm a bibliophile and I love my Kindle!") and voice-over informational clips that demonstrate the Kindle 2's many capabilities. While the e-book reader's features improvements over the first generation model (thinner, sleeker design; faster page turning; sharper display and greater storage space), it also boasts new capabilities, such as the "text-to-speech" option that can read anything out loud. Users can also annotate their texts, send personal documents from their computers to their Kindles and access Wikipedia. More than 230,000 books are available for the device, as well as more than 1,000 blogs, in addition to major newspapers and magazines from around the country. The new model offers about two days' worth of battery life, which is more than the original Kindle, as well as more storage space and a "sharper display," according to the Amazon ad. Curious, but not enough to shell out $350 for the sleek, smart gadget, I sought out an expert to help me get my head around the latest news in the book world. Haley Wauson '09, an English and psychology double major writing her senior thesis on digital print, explained some of the finer points of Kindle technology to me the other night in Collis.
