Dr. Pollack cared about his friends and through his
programs, he helped all of those with special needs, those needing extra
assistance with class, and someone like me who needed
recommendations for graduate school. In the little time that I spent with Dr.
Pollack, he always greeted me with a smile, while replacing “goodbye” with “if
you ever need anything let me know.” And as soon as I did need something, he
was there to help. I was fortunate enough to offer some help to others through
Dr. Pollack’s program for three years, and he definitely embodied the La Sallian tradition of

Kevin Kahn on Redefining Mobility: Carry Small, Live Large
posted by Guest Blogger on April

Imagine a day when a single device small enough to fit in your pocket has the power of a laptop and can deliver a rich computing, telephony, media, gaming, and Internet experience. Imagine a day when this device knows your tendencies and preferences and can adapt and optimize its interfaces to match what you are doing at any point any time. Imagine a day when this device is not constrained as a standalone unit, but can dynamically become a hybrid combination of other computing and multimedia devices in close proximity. In the labs at Intel, we have been looking at what makes sense for mobility in the future – a vision we refer to as Carry Small, Live Large.
