Source. In recognition of the release of Halo 3, a highly anticipated video game by Microsoft and Bungie, MIT hackers adorned the John P. Harvard statue, in Harvard Yard, with a Spartan helmet. The back of the helmet, which is worn by the protagonist of the game, Master Chief, was labeled with “Master Chief in Training.” The statue was decorated with an assault rifle (bullet count of 2E), as well as a Beaver emblem on the right shoulder.

What was it like to see

The face of your own stability

Suddenly look away

Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?



Eleven and she was gone.

Eleven is when we waved good-bye.

Eleven is standing still,

Waiting for me to free him

By coming home.



Moving me with a sound.

Opening me within a gesture.

Drawing me down and in,

Showing me where it all began,

Eleven.



It took so long to realize that

You hold the light that's been leading me back home.



Under a dead ohio sky,

Eleven has been and will be waiting,

Defending his light,

And wondering...

Where the hell have I been?

Sleeping, lost, and numb.

So glad that I have found you.

I am wide awake and heading home.



Hold your light,

Eleven.

Lead me through each gentle step by step

by inch by loaded memory.



I'll move to heal

As soon as pain allows so we can

Reunite and both move on together.



Hold your light,

Eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step

By inch by loaded memory

'till one and one are one, eleven,

So glow, child, glow.



I'm heading back home.

1. You can share documents, and assign rights to those you invite.
2. You can leave comments in the documents, this would be cool for design-time code reviews.
3. Buzzword contains a pretty robust Undo/Redo engine.
4. Buzzword uses a pretty sweet scrollbar - whereby you can scroll traditionally or simply click to jump to a page via a page button that is visible in the scrollbar itself. Thats a pretty sweet component, makes perfect sense, and is quite nice to use.

Adobe is committed to enabling developers to build and deploy desktop applications that leverage web technologies and their existing skills. To achieve this objective, we are applying the lessons learned and feedback we received to a new project called Adobe® Integrated Runtime (AIR), formerly code-named Apollo.
