Students Get iPods as Study Aids

WIAKywbfatw writes "Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, Georgia has given iPod digital music players to its students to help them with their coursework, as reported by BBC News. Apple donated about 50 iPods as part of an experimental project to illustrate creative uses for the machine, and University professors say the gadgets have helped the students think more critically about their Gothic Imagination course." I wonder if I can write off my new iPod as an education expense.

    When the show started and I listened to this mother and uncle,I realized I was sitting with my mouth open in shock.I called my aunt and said Oprah looks like she is about to explode you have got to see this show.As soon as I hung up the phone you did(explode).Thanks Oprah you said many of the things I wanted to say to these people,I mean what is their problem that they cant see that 30 and over yr old men shouldnt be paying to look at a young girl.Here in Bham,Al. we just had a 12 yr old snatched off the street raped and beaten.Perverts look at these young girls and become aroused and then they go and hurt someone elses child.I really feel sorry for that young girl because she is being exploited and put in harms way.Her uncle(and I know I don't know anything about him really)made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.Most perverts I'm sure don't consider what they do to be perverted.I have received unsolicited emails about pornagraphy containing teens with farm animals and other filth.I never opened the email & learned real quick the games these people play when you click on unsubscribe it takes you to the site anyway and also sends your email address to other porn sites.I looked up different agencies to report this porn but never received a reply.I now just delete but it bothers me a lot.These people also send instant messages using names like scooby,powerpuff girls and other names kids are familiar with which invites you to click and view their activities on webcam.Now those I havent had a problem with lately because I told them I was a police officer and my 13yr old had received instant messgs from this person and her friends and if they didnt want to be arrested for contributing to deliquency of a minor they better stop asap.Now the emails yahoo couldnt do anything because they are not coming from their customers and its been hard to track these people down because they keep changing the info needed to lock them down.I guess I've said all this to say that what that mother and uncle are doing is putting that child and children all over the world in danger.Why would a mother want 30 or 60 yr old men looking at her child simply for pleasure?Why would you let your child model provocative clothing these perverts send?I mean this childs website so obviously has nothing to do with modeling its pathetic.I am so glad Oprah spoke out for the many of us who feel this is so very wrong and so very sick.Thanks Oprah please continue to help us protect our kids.

    I can't get bloody parts from ol' Apple, even if I go through our sales rep, Butch Casey. I'm in the University System of Georgia. Hell, I'm at Georgia Southern. I'd wager we have one of the larger Apple Labs in the region(which isn't saying much). But what really steams me is that we have to rely on Apple to send in a repair call to Savannah(which is an hour away from us) to a third party who then comes to fix what we could do in less than five minutes if they would get off of their damned high horse and send us the parts like say... Gateway!

    When I saw that this was a USG site getting iPods for 'school' use, I nearly had an embolism. I can't get parts to keep a lab(for real, honest work) but these chuckleheads get a GD mp3 player!

    Apple, I've told you this over the phone, and now I'm saying it in public: We are not buying from you again. I may love running my Mac at home, and I may love running a Mac lab, but your service has killed your company in the eyes of the institution I work for.
