Lecture on a Friday...

As one of the final items for the course, we had to present our 5 page paper.

I liked the research actually, it was looking into something that I was intrigued about, and learned quite a bit about the topic.

One of the more interesting talks was the last one, where one of the students looked into a paper that talked about e-commerce. Apparently, for quite a while, there were ways where you can pay $5 for a $500 item, or buy more than one item for the price of one... not at shady sites.. but at large super legit sites. Can you imagine that, the e-commerce system had such a big hole that who knows how many people might have exploited!

The downside of these talks... it was on a Friday night... and I thought originally that w/ 5 minutes a person, it would be over in an hour (since there was about 10 ppl). Turns out it took almost 3 hours to go through :(.

And with that, another Friday night passes... .. .
