Have you ever doubted your professor’s credentials? Do you think that your professor does not have the capability of teaching your class properly? How about not respecting your professor because he or she is not certified to teach your IT subject? In any case it’s a bad image for your professor and too bad if you’re enrolled in his or her subject.
To happy-go-lucky students out there it may not be a big deal but if you’re the type of student who really wants to get the most out of your tuition fee, you probably want a decent IT learning experience. Well, I care about my learning experience and if rumors are true, my professor in CCNA 4 is not a certified instructor. For anonymity and protection of the professor I won’t reveal his/her name. Respect should still be there but I don’t know how far our class can handle it. Some of my classmates are already circulating nasty jokes about that particular professor. I keep myself neutral. Nevertheless, I’m beginning to doubt if he/she can really teach our class effectively. If first impression really lasts then his/her subject would be a boredom…
Whatever happens in my final CCNA course there goes the online reading materials. RTFM and use Google if in doubt.

ZDNet UK reports that Google Pack fails to impress. I’m not impressed either. From the report: “Google’s bundle of disparate applications has been described by one analyst as a ‘ragtag package”.
In my point of view, Google Pack is targeting beginners or web n00bs and because of this, corporate consultants will probably be unimpressed too. With regards to Google Pack improvements, I think that Google should include more open-source alternatives to commercial applications.

I’m really impressed with this new Mac laptop powered by Intel Core Duo processor. It’s called MacBook Pro, a new brand name to celebrate the very first Apple laptop with Intel mobile processor. The new Intel logo also looks different on the MacBook Pro — sleek, black and shiny.
The MacBook Pro 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo is 4 times faster than a 15-inch PowerBook G4 1.67GHz. It will run Windows with some hacking and it’s thinner than the original PowerBook — it’s just an inch thick and weights only 5.6 pounds.
