Overton window

with Microsoft's Windows operating system in only a few years. Since then, the debate over which choice is better has been ceaseless, although new developments may tip the debate in the favor of Linux.

Having the audience as a voyeur, was able to put the viewers in the film as a sense just watching a movie. The viewers were in a way transplanted in…

characters. Sadly, most suspense movies of today rely more on special effects than quality acting and dialogue. This is true when it comes to Alfred Hitchcock’s movie Rear Window and its 2007 remake Disturbia. While both movies are interesting and suspenseful, Disturbia failed to capture the charm of its predecessor. In Rear Window, James Steward plays L.B. Jefferies, a photographer who broke his leg taking photographs during a car race. For Jefferies leg to heal, he must stay in his…

Two years ago, when I first started looking for colleges I fell in love with Bennington because it did three things better than any of the other schools I visited: Theatre, Film, and Internships. Fast forward one year, and I applied early decision to Bennington, and only Bennington. I was sure, and still am sure it was the right decision, but not because I intend on studying film and theatre. Another reason I went to Bennington is its understanding that students don’t always know what they are…

Apple and Windows machine for years now whether it be a computer, phone or tablet, I have owned some sort of device from both companies within the last few years. I honestly love both of them. Three years after Windows 7, Microsoft released the next version of Windows called Windows 8. It’s the largest OS renovation that Microsoft has ever made to its operating system. It’s also something of a hybrid that’s meant for both desktop PCs and tablets, specifically the Surface. On its own, Windows 8…

First, I wanted to address user familiarity. According to a recent survey; 25.4% of users are currently using Windows 10 (“OS Platform Statistics”, 2016). That makes it the most widely adopted, modern, OS and the best platform to use in the new office. As at a minimum 1-in-4 employees would already be familiar with the OS. I specifically chose the 64-bit Enterprise version of Windows 10 (W10) to anticipate the needs of the business. The 64-bit version combined with the 6GB of Random Access…
