Melbourne College May Give iPad To Every Student

daria42 writes "It looks like Apple's hyped iPad tablet may find a functional use beyond the early technology adopter set. In Australia, a Melbourne University college recently completed a trial where a limited number of students were given an iPad to aid in their studies. The outcome? The college has now recommended every student be given one of the Apple devices, following in the footsteps of the University of Adelaide, which is handing out iPads to every first year science student. Sure beats lugging around the old textbooks!"

    I love your mentality. It is, unfortunately, being adopted by those on the left in the US. Has been adopted, I should say.

    "Money from the government is free! Yay!"

    It is if you get out more than you paid in. Isn't that really what your problem is, all the poor people making you slightly less rich with their greedy health concerns and ugly children? If we don't let money flow like water in a shallow pan, zomg teh economy will stop!

    You're an idiot. Complaints against both matte and glossy screens are numerous for every television, laptop, monitor, phone, and tablet in existence.

    Shocker: people use their devices differently than others (like reading in the fucking sunlight for instance).

    People like you are why there are so many Apple haters. If you'd just shut up they'd go away.
