Would it be better to buy a computer on Black Friday or wait til after Christmas?
They're are some great deals on black friday for computers. But it all depends on what you want. Just don't buy a computer because it's cheap and then you realize it isn't what you need.
Where's the best place to get a computer at Black friday?
You have to look around. All stores go crazy with their prices. Just make sure you get there super early.

Why is my computer in black and white?
When I came home yesterday, my computer was in black and white. No one has been on it except for me. It was right after a windows vista update..I've tried everything I could think of. It is definitely not the monitor, I've made sure the plugs are connected good. When I restart my computer the gateway loading bar is in color, the windows vista icon before it goes to the loading screen is in black and white, but the loading screen right before it opens the desktop is in color. The desktop is in color for like 5-15 seconds and then the programs start opening up in the bottom right bar and it goes black and white. So I thought it was the start up programs, I shut off all of the start up programs, restarted the computer and it didn't work. There is just one program icon I can't remove and that is 'Safety Remove Hardware' but I don't have any hardware plugged into the computer so that could be the problem. I tried updating the drivers on my graphics card (which is Geforce 240 GT), that didn't work. The only thing that worked temporarily is system restore back to a day before the windows vista update, It was back to normal. But that didn't last for long. Since it automatically updated again and I believe its mandatory to get the windows updates, unless you put it off for as long as you can. The update that makes my computer black and white is called 'Update for Windows Vista (KB980248)'. I've done some research on google and haven't found much on the same problem I am having. So if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks
Should I dual major in Computer Science and Finance, or Computer Science and Economics? What sort of career opportunities are there for each combination? I would like to work on Wall Street, but I would also like to work on the West Coast.
Computer science and mathematics. Degrees in mathematics are considered more valuable to finance and econ PhD programs and quite likely to Wall Street as well. My math degree pushed my far harder than my computer science degree ever did. By contrast, I took the econ course considered to be one of the hardest in the major as a computer science elective and it ended up being a very light, low stress class which was an easy A.If you are concerned about the math degree being too hard, then perhaps you should reconsider going to Wall Street. I once considered this route, but ultimately realized I am far happier in a medium stress medium reward tech job in the silicon valley. From the data I have gathered, going to Wall Street only pays better than tech if you are at the top. If you do plan to make it to the top, then the extra effort expended on the math degree should be viewed as only the beginning.
Financing a laptop for college?
Most colleges really don't require a laptop, you can survive using the ones in the computer labs or libraries and there probably are labs open 24 hours a day. if the college does require a laptop you can usually buy one cheaper from them. Anyways $700+ is a lot for a laptop for college if you're only using it for word processing and web surfing (90% of college students do only this). There are cheaper computers for $350 or less and if you can wait, wait til november and get a crazy deal on black friday or something. I just don't suggest financing a computer, it's not a house or a car, it won't hold any resale value so it's not a good decision. If you dont' have the money to put down on a computer, don't get it because you'll risk ruining your credit at a very young age. anyways you're paying for college now too, no need to make it cost more. Buying a laptop and financing it with money you don't have right now is not going to build up your credit. You're better off just getting a credit card and making small purchases you can afford every once in a while to build credit, the last thing you need is to get behind on payments and paying the minimum ($10) is actually going to ruin your credit. Also do the math, the longer it takes to pay off the computer the more interest you pay and the more you end up paying for the computer, it could be hundreds more than the original price. apply for a lot of scholarships so you can get some money at least for later if not now, it's worth the effort and a lot of the time it's really easy just look around online, some don't even require an essay or anything. Get a job too, if you don't already have one and save, don't buy anything you can live without and buy stuff at thrift stores and clip coupons and stuff like that. Open a bank account and whenever you have more than $30 in your wallet, put it in the bank so you don't spend it. I did that and its surprising how much you can save.
I am a computer science graduate with a huge interest in finance. What are the career options for me in India?
Hi,So as someone building a portal to help graduates know more about each career profile, I can say that careers in Finance are often based on these categories:a- Core Finance (Investment Banking, Asset Management, etc.)b- Banking & Insurance (Retail Banker, Actuary, etc.)c- General Business Management (Planning & Budgeting, Strategy Consulting, etc.)Now given that your interests lie in Finance and you're from an Engineering background, I'm not sure about Banking or General Management for that matter which leaves us with Core Finance, where infact firms may prefer engineering undergrads because of the higher aptitude and technical skills.I've known a few friends who are pursuing CFA Level 1 after doing Engineering. So that's a good way to go if you want to shift to Core Finance. You will also be able to write queries or build Macros on large piles of data (largely on Access or Excel) and get a good mix of both sides. Large MNCs like JP Morgan, Bank of America or Morgan Stanley would really like somebody like you there..But coming to macroeconomics, I believe a career in Research would be a very good fit where it's more about studying larger trends on Demand, Supply, Industry pressures and future movements based on broad economic changes. Again, you could fit enough opportunities there to work with numbers and use coding as a good background.PS: We've interviewed professionals in 20 Career Profiles that are available to graduates right after college.
