Academy Fight Song | Thomas Frank | The Baffler

Academy Fight Song | Thomas Frank | The Baffler: Actually, that explanation isn’t simple enough. The truth is that rip-offs like this abound in academia—that virtually every aspect of the higher-ed dream has been colonized by monopolies, cartels, and other unrestrained predators—that the charmingly naive American student is in fact a cash cow, and everyone has got a scheme for slicing off a porterhouse or two.

The Granddaddy of the Political Cartoon | Peter Bruegel | The Land of Cockaigne | Masterpiece by Jamie James - WSJ.com

The Granddaddy of the Political Cartoon | Peter Bruegel | The Land of Cockaigne | Masterpiece by Jamie James - WSJ.com: The most poignant modern survival of the Land of Cockaigne, and the truest to its simple spirit of rebellious yearning, is the hobo ballad "Big Rock Candy Mountain." First recorded by Harry McClintock in 1928, this vision of heaven on earth reflects the daydreams of the tramps who rode the rails. It is a "land that's fair and bright," where "they hung the Turk who invented work," hens lay soft-boiled eggs and cigarettes grow on trees. "There's a lake of stew, and of whiskey too, and you can paddle all around 'em in a big canoe, in the Big Rock Candy Mountain."

Roku app now beams videos from your iOS device to your TV | Macworld

Roku app now beams videos from your iOS device to your TV | Macworld: On Thursday, the company added video to the mix—for iOS users only right now—allowing streaming of videos in your iOS device’s Camera Roll.

That means you can play anything you’ve shot with your iOS device—family ballet recitals and 15-second Instagram video masterpieces, say—but not TV shows or movies you’ve synced with your iPhone. Which makes it somewhat less useful than the Apple TV’s AirPlay streaming, but still a pretty cool addition.

Forget Apple’s SuperDrive and go for MCE’s Super-BluDrive (especially if you’re a Blu-ray movie fan)

Forget Apple’s SuperDrive and go for MCE’s Super-BluDrive (especially if you’re a Blu-ray movie fan): As for MCE Technologies’s US$79.99 USB Super-BluDrive (http://tinyurl.com/mnd28az), forget Apple’s SuperDrive. Though a bit heftier, the MCE is a much-better deal.

It’s compatible with all Mac systems. You simply plug it into an USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port, and you’re good to go.

The MCE USB Super-BluDrive comes with the aforementioned Mac Blu-ray Player software (which is $39.95 if purchased separately). Commercial Blu-ray movie playback requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor-equipped Mac running at 2.4GHz, or faster, and at least 2GB of RAM.
