I did the core lesson for level 1, unit 1, lesson 3. This covered colors, jobs like police officer and doctor, and how to conjugate the verb "to have".
Articles:
There was an interesting article in the New York Times about how patents are affecting small companies. For small companies doing work in technology like speech recognition software, they are at risk of being sued by larger companies that hold patents on various parts of the software. It's either that or be bought up by the larger company. As a result, it's getting harder and harder for small companies to stand on their own because if they end up going to court, the financial damage could force them to allow the large companies like Apple and Google to buy them up.
Philosophy:
I read about the standard of evolution. For any comparison to be made, there must be some criteria. If one were to say "She is short", the criteria would be the height range that is considered "short". Without it, the statement has no meaning.
Internships:
I checked out XT9 on nuance.com. This is similar to T9 technology, which allows for faster texting but XT9 can be used on a variety of devices
