What device are you using? I've heard the iPad 1 and 2 weren't particularly loud (never had one myself) but my iPad 3 and every one of my iPhones has been far more capable than you describe. I've never had an issue listening to video (watching Hulu on my iPad in bed when I should be asleep, heh). Hell, the kids often watch YouTube on my phone in the car (noisy environment) and sometimes I have to tell them to turn it down! Just last night a friend and I were listening to This American Life on my phone while we worked on different things at different corners of my living room and it was plenty loud for both of us to hear it clearly.
If what you describe were normal, the phone's speakerphone function would be completely useless! Seriously, get your phone looked at if it's still under warranty.
It's ironic that conservatives complain about poor, elderly, and disabled people and all their "entitlements," all while acting completely oblivious to how ridiculously entitled they act themselves. "I have no trouble taking time off work to drive my car over to the local DMV, which is open six days a week, and showing them all the paperwork my parents and I stored safely in a fireproof filing cabinet since the day I was born. How could it not be that easy for everyone else??"
Many poor people work shit jobs (often TWO shit jobs). For some of these, "hey boss, I've got to take a day off" risks being interpreted as "hey boss, I'm a lazy fuck, fire me hire someone else to wash these dishes." And regardless, for all of them taking a day off work is a day with no pay - and that is no small cost to someone living on tiny margins.
I already hear you getting indignant. But getting an ID at the DMV doesn't take a full day! For you, with your open-six-days-a-week suburban DMV, sure. For you, who can hop into your own car and drive straight there, sure. Many of the poor, elderly, and disabled can't do that; they have to take public transportation (if available in their area; for rural areas this isn't even an option), find someone else to drive them (does that person have to take work off too?), or hire a taxi. In many areas (particularly rural), the DMV is quite a distance away, or is only open four, or two, or 1 day(s) a month (requiring either an expensive multi-hour drive into the city, or dealing with long waits on the few days it is open).
And having the requisite paperwork at hand isn't the easiest thing for everyone, either. Sure, your parents made sure to keep track of your birth certificate for you; by the time you were 5 your parents got you a passport, at 16 you had a driver's license. You became an adult with a wealth of well-organized paperwork defining who you are. Not everyone has that advantage. Some people have no idea where their birth certificates went; some people never got birth certificates at all, either because their parents didn't handle paperwork properly, or because they were born in a time when such things weren't even available (ie. elderly in rural areas). Most poor people don't get passports for obvious reasons. Many don't have licenses either, if they cannot afford cars (poor), are incapable of driving (disabled/elderly), or have no need to drive (elderly). Some do have birth certificates, but ones that are no longer valid (pretty much every Puerto Rican in this country). Some have ID, but that ID is for various reasons not considered valid under the law (others in this thread have described those already). Getting an ID without already having the requisite paperwork in order is orders of magnitude harder, and requires many more fees and many more days off work to stand in lines at different government offices.
What it boils down to is this: Do these laws help more than they hurt? This country has had (iirc) about a hundred documented cases of in-person voter fraud in the past decade. A hundred. In ten years. There are literally millions of registered voters with no government-issued ID. For your argument's sake, let's assume voter fraud is 100x what it is (10,000) and that only 1/100th of the un-IDed registered voters (10,000) are going to be unable to get IDs due to various hardships: at that point, with everything heavily skewed in your favor, we barely break even in the number-of-affected-votes statistic, and that is after making the poor, disabled, and elderly jump through a bunch of time consuming and expensive hoops.
It is clear to anyone with even half a brain that this is not about insuring the integrity of the voting process, since in will clearly disenfranchise far more people than it will stop from committing fraud. It's about intentionally disenfranchising the poor, who tend to vote Democrat.
I'm surprised you didn't catch this. There HAS been a significant upgrade to the speakers and microphones in the iPhone 5 (and to top it off, Apple is working with carriers to improve audio quality during calls as well).
No, no mention because neither of these are problems when using the enterprise deployment system, where you can push apps (including non-apple-approved apps; or did you think every large company has to make their in-house apps available through the App Store?) to your iPads regardless of Apple ID (which can be the institution's ID or personal IDs or a mix, depending on whether you want your users to be able to buy their own apps too).
As I said before, large scale deployments in schools need the proper setup and support; if you drop a sack of iPads on a teacher and try to manage them all individually like a home user you're just making trouble for yourself. There are powerful first- and third-party tools to manage large-scale deployments and schools should be using them.
So your recommendation is to save 30 bucks by dragging a 30-foot cable around through a sea of desks and children's feet all day every day? You're kidding, right?
If a school can get the same use out of a cheaper Android tablet as they can out of an iPad, more power to them. The sad fact is that a huge majority of the tablet-based educational software out there right now is iPad-only, and that currently tips the scales in Apple's favor.
That definitely sounds terrible, especially the twist of forcing families to buy the apps (that's one I've never heard of before).
At the K-8 school my friend works at, the school purchased about one hundred iPads (enough that the average class can spend half a day with them in class every other day). He was hired to manage and maintain them (so it isn't an extra burden on the preexisting IT department, or the teachers and parents) and does so using Apple's enterprise tools which allow him to push updates and new software, volume license software (cheaper than everyone buying individually), image/restore, manage age restrictions, etc. fairly easily. He is also responsible for researching/purchasing new educational apps and training teachers and students how to use them. It's a great system, because the iPad becomes an asset to the teacher and students rather than a burden, and IT is happy to work it into the existing infrastructure because it isn't a huge new burden on them, either.
My other friend (5th grade teacher) works at a much poorer school (one of the poorest in the state actually) and just has one iPad in his classroom that he purchased himself, filled with apps that he purchased himself. Until this year it was hooked up to his projector via physical cable (that he purchased himself) as the submitter's article suggested was the best way to go, but being tethered was a huge annoyance. I was going to buy him an AppleTV for this year, but the school IT department somehow manage to lose his connector cables over the summer and ended up offering to buy him one out of their budget. Needless to say, he's been thrilled being untethered from the projector. He's always been ecstatic about what a difference the iPad has made in his classroom, even though he only has one and he has to do the support for it himself.
The iPad really is an awesome tool when used in the right way, but a replacement for a work laptop it sure isn't. What's sad is people are going to generalize from this and decide the whole thing is worthless overall rather than a specific tool for a specific job.
I have one friend who is a 5th grade teacher and has been using his iPad in class for two years now, and another friend who has been a dedicated K-8 grade iPad technology manager (ie. he stands somewhere between the regular IT staff and the teachers; managing tech support for the tablets, researching and testing educational apps, coming up with iPad-based lesson plans, and teaching students and - most importantly - teachers how to integrate use of the tablets into lessons and workflows). I'm basing my opinions here on their experiences.
There is no question what an awesome tool the iPad can be for education. The ability to instantly interact with information in such a visceral and responsive way can be very powerful for the students. Touch, physical interaction, and instant feedback are fundamental to kids (and everyone else, but particularly to kids since they haven't mastered abstract thought). Live charts/graphs and other graphical representations can help kids better grasp what the numbers they're looking at are actually doing; the ability to explore and interact with a science "textbook" (not a useful word anymore) so the student can follow where her curiosity leads her is amazing. Etc. Etc.
But as you say, this is mostly reading and viewing; very little heavy editing. Tablets (especially iPads) are not particularly well designed for heavy-duty text editing (basic note taking or numerical input is fine though). Buying a bunch of iPads and attempting to use them as the only tool for the job is just as stupid as buying an awesome chef's knife and then tossing out all your spoons.
Based on my friends' experiences, the biggest roadblock to proper iPad usage is nobody is around to explain things or set things up. Teachers have a million other things to do in class, and often a school administrator decides "this iPad thing looks neat" and dumps the technology on them with no training whatsoever and zero support from IT, and suddenly the teacher has one more thing to try to figure out. Teachers that are already tech savvy (like my first friend) can do great things with them, but most are not. It takes a properly organized program (like my second friend is involved in) to get it working at a school- or district-wide level.
As to the nonsensical complaint about the AppleTV: huh? The article complains they could have done it "much cheaper" for ~$30 rather than the $99 cost of an AppleTV, but that small savings requires teachers to be tethered to a cord at the front of the classroom. The ability for the teacher to walk around the classroom and interact with students while streaming information and interactive results wirelessly to the class's screen is a HUGE advantage that is more than worth $69. The issues mentioned in the article are due to inadequate IT support and training.
Nice attempt at a conspiracy theory, but not only does QuickTime Player not read external.srt files (never has, though embedded subs work fine), it too is sandboxed.
The FCC asked some questions, yes. And then did nothing at all about it. It wasn't until a year and a half later when Apple revised their App Store Review Guidelines that Google Voice was approved (along with many other apps that had been rejected previously). There's no evidence whatsoever that the FCC had any more to do with that than Congress did (read: none). The submitter is either woefully misinformed or intentionally trolling; either way the editors should have caught it.
This is why I will never donate to any political campaign, ever again. I made the mistake of donating to a couple in 2008, and it's been telephone hell since. 1-2 calls a day in 2010 and 2011, and 3-4 calls a day so far in 2012 -- I fear what will happen as we approach the actual election.
He's talking about data plan cost, not the entire plan cost. $30 each for the data portion for two lines under the old scheme, $50 for data for two lines under the new scheme. Talk/text parts of the plan are an additional cost under either scheme.
All current Macs, and most if not all sold in the last year or two can boot into recovery mode via the Internet and then install to a fresh drive from there. Mountain Lion is apparently not going to be available on USB at all (though like Lion it should be no trouble to make your own USB installer).
And you know what? That water isn't free - price is a great motivator for people to use less. Regulation like this seem to spring up where there's no genuine reason to conserve - if the resource were actually scarce, it would be expensive, and people would naturally use less. Funny old world.
This is, quite simply, bullshit. The "free market" which you seem to think will handle this pays no attention to a number of negative externalities, particularly with regard to the environment and long-term effects.
For power generation for example, that would include air pollution. A power company might be able to supply you dirt-cheap electricity from their coal plant just outside of town, but there's no way the free market will consider your (and everyone else's!) increased risk of lung cancer in that price, because to the power company that isn't a cost at all. They are using everyone's air as a free dumping ground for their dangerous waste. Society has a right to protect that air - in the same way your right to swing your fist ends at my right to have an unbroken nose, the power company (and by extension its customers) loses its right to complete freedom when it impacts everyone's ability to breathe safely.
With regard to water usage, the water you use is pumped freely and relatively cheaply from aquifers, rivers, or lakes - natural resources that belong to society as a whole. But while the immediate costs are low (which allows the free market to give it to you cheaply), there are again negative externalities that society must consider: in this case, the supply of fresh water is not infinite, and we (in the US) are in fact using It at a rate that is much faster than nature can replenish. The price of your water does not take this into account at all! Society has a very sensible and rational interest in ensuring water will continue to be available in the future, because if we let it get to the point where "the resource were actually scarce," people will starve. A rational entity plans for the future rather than gobbling up everything NOW (or do you advocate we all live paycheck to paycheck?), and what that means is society needs to find ways to reduce our current and future water consumption. Every little bit helps (and an overall 1% savings for a simple and harmless change really is pretty good).
It's unfortunate my mod points just ran out. This is exactly what I've always thought of as the reason for British accents in fantasy media. Someone else mod the parent up for me!
You're entirely missing the point. New users of Google's services are know forced to sign up for Google+ -- and profitable or not, YouTube is one of their most popular services. The GP is trying to make the argument that by tying Google+ to other services (for some reason he used search, which is actually completely irrelevant since pretty much nobody gets a Google account in order to use their search service!) they'll drive customers to competing services. For Gmail, that's at least potentially possible. For YouTube its practically impossible, for the very reason you cited (it's not a money maker). Competitors are not going to magically spring up to rescue YouTube users from forced Google+ accounts.
If Bic gave you the pen for free, and included with it a bunch of their pre-designed templates for your use (plot outline, prewritten characters, whatever), your analogy would be a bit closer to the mark. If that's a problem, go *buy* a pen and come up with your own stuff from scratch, or contribute to an open-source writing-templates program to benefit everyone. Don't expect some corporation to do it for you for free, that's just not how they work.

It is the periodic 5th-dimensional motion perpendicular to your current spacetime trajectory that is produced when things go timey-wimey.
It couldn't be zero (circle way to big/small) if 1 AU is based on the average distance. But you're right that it could be 4 (or 3!) in addition to 2.
