If you use the Internet frequently (I’m talking to you, everyone!) the debate over network neutrality is the most important political issue you’ve never heard of. Simply stated, network neutrality has a dream: that one day, all internet traffic will be treated equally, regardless of content, connection or provider. Regardless of application, device or network. Net neutrality means two people with the same level of Internet access will be able to connect to each other at that level of access.

Inception, The Social Network, Black Swan, Toy Story 3 – even if you’ve only seen a couple of the films nominated at this Sunday’s Academy Awards, you have to admit 2010 was a pretty kick-ass year for cinema. Take it from the cinephile who saw all 10 Best Picture nominees (and no, I will never get tired of bragging about it).

A woman at Starbucks the other day seemed surprised when I asked for the time. That’s like, so 1990s, right? With the ubiquity of cell phones these days, it’s implied that everyone can now supply that information for themselves.

With an infamous benevolence for the digital age and access to their music (In Rainbows’ controversial release in 2007), Radiohead dropped its eighth album like a virtual bomb, shattering airwaves Friday morning when it was released a day early. It’s hard to believe that the highly anticipated album, The King of Limbs, is here.

Oh, you know you want to buy this album. Glee: The Music, Vol. 4 includes songs performed on the first few episodes of the show’s second season, and there are some real standouts.

The self-titled and enumerated, sophomoric album of the young songstress Adele is a smart, soul-searching and deeply personal foray into the mind of a truly talented woman. Each song is a snapshot of another dimension of Adele’s personality, which, to say the least, provides something more dynamic than what our modern audience is perhaps used to.

Despite writing a preview for Body of Knowledge a week prior, I had no idea what to expect when I walked into the Mondavi Center on a rainy Friday night. I was greeted by the ushers with a program and the vague description that the performance piece was “experimental theatre.” And experimental it most definitely was.

Who to watch: A David Popkins 3-RBI triple was nearly enough for an Aggie win on Tuesday.

As the quarter winds down, the impending doom of finals week has only one consolation – the glimmer of hope that is spring break.
