CMU's answer to MIT's open courseware? It looks like they are more focused on actually providing complete online course - and not just in placing the course materials online.

Great article full of fan mail for MIT physics professor, Walter Lewin.

Quoted: Walter H. G. Lewin, a physics professor at M.I.T., has found devotees across the country with his online lectures.

Quoted: Jepsen invented the laptop's sunlight-readable display technology and co-invented its ultra-low power management system

Just heard this awful news about a WA state MIT student Wolfe Styke (who is a friend of a friend) being stabbed by his ex (Wellesley) girlfriend, Anna Tang.

She stabbed him 7 times, he called 911, and the police came with paramedics and arrested her. She also confessed all of this to the police after her Miranda rights were read to her.

I would say she's going to be tried for attempted murder (she is still in prison w/o bail, awaiting a hearing to determine how dangerous she might be). Another article stated that she had also ordered a cross-bow online - but it arrived AFTER she attacked her ex-boyfriend with 3 knives she brought to his dorm.

Wolfe apparently will recover and is back in classes.

MIT's Physics lectures - by the best physics lecturer in the world. You can watch the complete course on video for FREE on MIT's Open Courseware website (unfortunately, you need Real Player - but I find that the Real Player is less obnoxious than they used to be).

Quoted: This section contains the video index and videos for the various topics of the course.
