You have completely misunderstood the point of the article. They are not discussing the utility of computers in teaching general subjects. They are discussing the utility of computers in teaching reading.
Dumbasses didn't put clicky links on their image. Why not? So that you can dig, dig, dig and find the long winded articles?
Maybe they haven't figured out the internet as well as they think. Blogs with 5000 word essays tend to be a pain in my ass. I'm barely literate. How much do they expect slitscan to read?
I think the author of the article was over-egging the importance of these presentations by attempting to diminish the size of Apple's importance and comparing the impact of the announcements to those made by other similarly sized companies. A bit dishonest I feel
Ok. Compare it to presentations from companies 10x as large as Apple. Apple still gets more attention.
More to the point, it is extremely possible that Apple will ship universal binaries for all their pro apps on Jan 9th. Whether that coincides with new powerbooks, iduno.
/. is delivered via multiple servers. It takes some time to propagate story changes to all the machines.
Each hit you make to the main page can come from different servers. So descriptions can flip back and forth between the corrected and uncorrected state until everything is in sync.
So, you're left using this while stationary. If you're going to do that, why not just watch it on a TV or monitory and save yourself $600?
Or, you know, HOLD THE IPOD UP TO YOUR EYEBALL. If you would like to create the illusion of an infinitely large screen, you can press your eyeball onto it directly.
It took me like three hours to figure out how to make a custom t-shirt in Second Life.
Once I was done, it was clear that there were further refinements that I would never be able to make. Although if you look at that screenie, the book vendor's t-shirt has similar fuckups.
So maybe I could have used that book.
I'd pay L$ to make my avatar look the way I want, but I'm not sure that's possible. They have a reputation system for avatar creators and whatnot, but it isn't sufficient.
Got to love how any military product has to have a PR photo ready first, results later. Research in any other field doesn't need consumer-electronics-level designers quite so early in the project. Something about that gives me the willies.
When DIVX was crushed it felt like a giant victory. But DIVX only had one company behind it. This time the draconian DRM will have the entire tech industry behind it. And people won't be buying self-destructing media.
I think we're fucked.
If people actually stick with their DVD drives and let HD-DVD and BluRay both die on the vine, maybe some tech companies will do the right thing. But it's an extremely long shot.
All public corporations in the US are owned by citizens.
You're an idiot. That isn't true. Even if it was true, the owners of public corporations cannot be held responsible for the actions of those corporations. Any ordinary, practical definition of ownership doesn't apply.
Being "a lot like CVS" & etc doesn't invalidate a patent. Your patent can read, "Just like CVS, except for pasta recipes", and it will have a fair shot at passing. Taking an existing solution, tweaking it in an infinitesimally small manner, and patenting it is totally supported by our system.

The audio port may still be splitable.
Hopefully soon WINE & various virtual machines will allow you to run Windows software without rebooting, but not quite yet.

Not "book learning". Literacy.
In summary, learn to fucking read.
Damn. You can't spell for shit.
I'm confused.

The WMF vulnerability applies to any image displayed by internet explorer. It uses inspection rather than extension to figure out the file type.
Somebody please think of the bird decapitations.
Hmm. Yeah. Got that part. Still not seeing wtf great-grandparent poster is talking about. Still think he was full of shit.
People like blood sausage. People are morons.
After reading your comment I was overcome with a desire to stab myself in the neck with a pencil.
Hospital bill goes to you, good buddy.
You have no idea what you are talking about. None.
The Internet is a "big killer app"... Jesus Christ.

Ah. No. Although the "dad into retirement" thing could be true even if it's an uncle/nephew team.

Is dishonest rhetoric the only way to defend intellectual property on the Intarweb?
wtfg, troll.
Thanks for reminding me. It's been too long since I've listened to "5 million ways to kill a CEO".

Who the hell are you?! Get off my porch!
You are full of crap. Intelligent Design is bullshit.

That's only part of the problem.
