As it appeared, in few weeks, somewhere in the old city part of , the municipality plans to open a University of Technology. Great idea, especially when the main studying resorts like Intercollege and Frederick Institute are planning to achieve the status of University this year.

After studying three years in the institute, I’ll be graduating already the university: sounds good, but already some changes started to piss off:

  • Someone decided to start filtering Lab computers according to the Internet usage (they could have left at least admin logins unfiltered,damn!)
  • The rumours about increasing payment fees up to the “university” level (will be equal to 1 year MSc payment fees).
  • Free wi-fi over the whole building. (Did anyone tell where to find the installation settings, or it’s for VIP’s?!)

Well, in September, all filials of Frederick Institute should be prepared for getting the status of the university, which university, and who’ll be prepared by that time and how well - no one knows…

From the latest Slashdot , there is a rumor that soon the Amazon.com will start selling movies, which you’ll be able to download from Amazon.com.

Up to now the one of the biggest on-line shop didn’t comment this information, but in you can see the screenshots of this “download service”.

Even though, now you can find a lot of TV shows through the other media portals like or , none of them do not offer this kind of service by limiting the size of upload files, not mentioning the sizes of a movie!

Most probably the service will be very popular but not for all the Web users: not everyone can download movies fast, because of the Internet connection they are using - still the majority is non-ADSL users.
