Brand dispute sparks cyber name-callingEarlier this week, I wrote my first column for the Daily Vidette titled “Why I will never buy an Apple product.” Just with the headline alone, I knew I was about to spark a deep-rooted debate between Mac and PC owners. What I did not know was that such a debate would strike a chord with Apple users that led to distasteful online comments and emails that day.
College apartments score
a bad reputation
"We found love in a hopeless place, we found love in a hopeless place…” It is 7 a.m. on a Monday and I do not have class until noon. I also do not have this song on my phone and have my alarm set for 10 a.m. Why, exactly, am I waking up to this overly obnoxious song?

The truth about slaughterhouses
On May 24, 2000, King5.com news service in Seattle, WA, broke a story about undercover footage taken at a nearby slaughterhouse. According to their report, “the video shows fallen cows being trampled and dragged, others are tortured with electric prods. One cow has fallen and workers stick an electric prod on its head, then place the prod down its mouth. Still other cows are hung on chains, fully conscious, blinking and kicking. The worker who shot the tape said one cow was already at a station where its legs were being removed.”

Smart phones creating addictive, dependent users
Welcome to the 21st century where a cellphone becomes an extra appendage. A technology that was once accessible to only a minority of the adult population is now in the pockets of nearly six billion people worldwide, many of whom are still too young to drive.

My like... observation
on the word like
The 21st century, so far, has been dependent on technology and its advances. There is information on virtually everything imaginable. If someone wishes to learn about the whaling industry, rather than read Melville’s “Moby Dick” or an encyclopedia, they just search for it online, which is far from a bad thing.

The inescapable lure of celebrity gossip
The last episode in the series “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” aired on E! last Sunday, displaying a whirlwind of events that led to the eventual demise of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries’s marriage. Naturally, I tuned in. After watching the spectacle of their wedding, I had to see how and why this romance fizzled so soon.
