As Willy Wonka opens the doors to his Chocolate Room in the original film adaptation of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, leading his visitors along the banks of a chocolate river, he sings a song about the power of imagination. “Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination,” he promises. “Take a look, and you’ll see, into your imagination.” If you feel like you’ve heard "Pure Imagination" recently, it’s probably because it’s playing in an AT&T commercial currently in heavy rotation. Previously, versions of the song have also popped up in ads for MasterCard and a Lenovo laptop. Why is this song so popular among advertisers?

"With a radius of some 30 miles...."
Northern Michigan University was fairly early to the game in offering laptops and campus-wide WiFi to its students, and it looks like it's now stepping things up even further with a little help from Motorola, which is providing the backend for NMU's new campus-wide WiMAX network (a first in the US). Better still, the university is also providing some brand new WiMAX-equipped ThinkPads to nearly 3,000 of the school's more than 9,000 students, and it's also making a range of laptop and desktop WiMAX adapters available to students with non WiMAX-enabled computers. With a radius of some 30 miles, the network will also encompass a number of off-campus sites, and be made available to local schools and municipal offices though a licensing arrangement."With a radius of some 30 miles...."
