What is it that you are looking for? an internship? a full time job? what kind of position?
Have you taken any classes that relate to what you are seeking?
The bullet about your computer skills is rather lengthy, consider revising.
Also, one thing I would consider doing is removing the formatting (lines across page, etc.). It's a good idea to be able to copy/paste your resume from word to notepad and not lose any formatting (good for putting it on search sites).
You do make good use of action words and seem to have good work experience, although that could depend on what kind of position you're seeking.

I'd disagree with the objective line. I guess it's a matter of preference. Some people (even I did it at one point) cook up these grand objectives, but what's the point. When I look at a resume for a job, I know the erson's objective: to get this job. It's unnecessary. Unless you have extra space, I wouldn't bother.
I don't see any hobbies/activities section either. Could just be one line. But if you put down something like bowling, golf, football, reading anandtech (might not be the best thing!), you could instantly gain some recognition from an interviewer. Sometimes they want to know more about a person than just his accomplishments.
Other than that, it looks good. Easy to ready and well organized (key!). I'd make the font color black if it isn't already (my monitor is bad here, hard to tell).
