Bravo to the age of Web 3.0. Remember the days of dial-up Internet? So do we, but pretty soon it’ll be a thing of the past. Google announced Wednesday that it’s planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks that will deliver Internet up to 100 times faster than the average current speed. That means when you’re surfing cutethingsfallingasleep.org during ASU 101, those mind-numbingly adorable videos are going to hit you faster than ever before. As Google’s announcement suggested, imagine downloading a high-definition, full-length movie in less than five minutes. Pretty awesome, right? Especially if it’s a feature film about kittens falling asleep.

In debt from student loans? Traveling to a new part of the world may be the key to paying for your education.

A school that touts innovation and accessibility should, hypothetically, be accessible on the Internet.

President Barack Obama has, by all accounts, experienced a pretty rocky first year as president. He came into office with impressive campaign promises, but facing major challenges, his walk hasn’t necessarily matched his talk. Obama gave his perspective on his first year in office in last night’s State of the Union address. Here is ours.

Just a heads up, this is not going to boost your spirits, but you may want to read on anyway.

Bravo to student activism in the face of crisis. After a 7.0 magnitude earthquake shook Haiti last week, ASU students and staff wasted little time in helping relief efforts. The ASU chapter of the Sigma Pi fraternity is hosting a penny drive by the Memorial Union on the Tempe campus, ASU Bookstores organized a simple way for students to donate to the Red Cross while buying books and a law student has organized a fundraiser at La Bocca Urban Pizzeria and Wine Bar. Even thousands of miles away, it is heartening to see the outpouring of support in the ASU and surrounding communities.

Bravo to weathering the budget storm. No one is a stranger to the ill effects of our current economy, least of all ASU and the state of Arizona. The past two semesters have been miserable, but, during this fall semester, we’ve been able to quietly persevere. With major changes in funding (the stimulus taking effect, the addition of surcharges), ASU has managed to escape the semester without mass furloughs, layoffs or closings. School names might be a little longer, and the Legislature has been sluggish to come up with a definitive budget, but when compared to the crisis California is facing, we’ll take what we can get. Hopefully spring will bring an upswing.

Bravo to Chapman University for their ingenious stress-relieving therapy. On Dec. 9, students at the private school will have a hug-a-thon. No, not with random people, but with puppies. The Furry Friends for Finals program, proposed by Chapman’s Student Counseling Center, is every bit as good as the name implies. Who wouldn’t love to de-stress with a bunch of cute, cuddly baby animals? If only our student fees went to funding a huge puppy tent on Hayden Lawn during finals. Imagine the joy that would spread through campus. Never have we lamented more about not being a private university.

On Monday night, a panel of veteran journalists posed a question Arizona has been waiting to hear the answer to. But a group of noisy protesters ensured that America's Toughest Sheriff never responded to the toughest questions of the night.

Bravo to a short week and a happy Thanksgiving, which are definitely things to be thankful for. The long weekend gives us some desperately needed time to catch up on homework (OK, no one will actually do homework), and spend a few days in a turkey-induced tryptophan high. Or low, we never quite figured out how tryptophan works. The thought of a few class-free days has put us in a good mood all around. What could make our good mood better? How about booing a certain rival city to the south — twice.

This week, two Senators from each of the 50 states will take planes, trains and automobiles home for the Thanksgiving holiday and spend a few days eating turkey and watching football along with the rest of the nation.

Boo to the Eggo waffle shortage. Kellogg Co. announced that interruptions at two of its four waffle-making plants have shut them down for undisclosed periods of time, according to The Associated Press. As a result, grocery store freezer shelves will be looking a little barer in the future. To be honest, we’d forgotten about the cardboard-y, delicious breakfast food of our youth, but now that we can’t have any, we’re feeling a little bit lost. It’s true, you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. Whoever is causing this shortage, please, Leggo our Eggos.
