This is a brilliant way to help educate students! Too many IT-related educational programs are way too lax on what they teach, how updated classes are, and how hard they push students.

With more and more businesses relying on inkjet printers for their hard-copy needs, and more and more photos produced using computer printouts instead of traditional photochemical paper, the high cost of brand-name ink affects an [...]
Congrats are in order again for AMD for its U.S. retail store sales. It’s cool to see AMD smack the giant around a bit, but Intel’s overall market share is still bigger, mostly due to its partnership with Dell.
