err, you're just blandly stating it. I wouldn't mind doing it on the ipad OR anything with a hardware keyboard. iPhone's out, but so are smartphone hardware keyboards(Fiddly little keys suck worse than touch screen keys for my use and I've been using smart phones since '05 or so).
I've written long emails on an iPad, tweets on a keyboard, and everything in between. Typing on an touch screen isn't the same as typing on a full hardware keyboard, but, it doesn't have to be.
Still, the problem is more complicated than just spending, or even just parental involvement. It's complicated and anyone selling quick answers is a dingbat.
I like Utah. It's a pretty state and the people are nice.
I have a problem with your reasoning. California has 13.5 times more people than Utah does. Utah actually spends more per student too. Utah also doesn't have the same problems that California has. How do you balance the needs of places like Chico and Modesto with that of Los Angeles and the Bay Area? Salt Lake City has bad parts of town but nothing in Salt Lake City approaches East LA or Oakland.
Further more, you just dismissed the degree of score difference and went for absolute numbers. Even in an ideal setting, someone comes in first, someone comes in last. The question is what is the degree difference between first and fiftieth?
I was on Usenet in the 90's and MySpace in the 2000's.
Very few people had connected devices, and even less who did used services like Usenet or MySpace through them. Nearly everyone on those services used full hardware keyboards.
I have no problems using a touch screen device. The problem isn't the device, it's the care of the people using them to use correct grammar and spelling. T9 made texting clear and easy. The 160 character limit for SMS on the other hand...
Two things. First, the difference between California and Utah is only 146 points. Second, California is a pretty big state with a lot of socioeconomic disparity. More so than Utah.
Uh. If a kid wants to learn computing they can just go into a computer lab or get specialized hardware for that purpose. Not every kid is going to be getting down and dirty with computing. Nor should they.
Also, comparing an iPad to an iPod touch is like comparing a swimming pool to a bathtub.
I also don't get why people are down on software keyboards. The problem with poor grammar and not communicating clearly isn't the keyboard's fault. I'm writing this fanboy screed now on one. So...
Have you even used a tablet before? iBooks has educational content, the iPad has a lot of text editors and word processors. I've written many screeds on/. ON an iPad.
The thing about iPads in non-consumer contexts is that large entities like businesses, schools and NGOs can restrict what apps go on these devices and if you get the extra enterprise deployment gear, you actually CAN side load custom software on them.
There were reports of some PS2->PS3 adapters breaking and some USB controllers breaking, but not all did. Usually the cheapest, crappiest controllers stopped working.
However, a lot of good unlicensed PCBs still worked well after the 3.50 FW which supposedly broke everything.
Wait, what? New cable? Multiple monitors have always been supported, I don't understand what you're getting at.
The upgrade to multiple monitor support is that if your'e using an airplay target like an Apple TV, you can use it explicitly as an external display. Oh and when you full screen an app with multiple monitors it doesn't turn your other monitor into an expensive paper weight.
We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose.
-- Steve Jobs
However, the problems Microsoft faces in the future isn't that they're going to win or lose on marketshare or profit but rather if the OEMs in their race to the bottom continue their die off. Microsoft needs the OEMs to be healthy and profitable. Even if everyone started building their own machines or went to their local neighborhood geek to get those needs met, if OEMs go down, component makers will also feel the crunch in a huge way too. And OEMs haven't been doing great. So...
I don't know about that. On OSX, there's now an option to full screen apps. Which is great when I'm working in a graphics app or I want an insular terminal experience with no distractions. The problem is that the metro UI is kind of a mess. Charms aren't obvious and the whole thing with gestures is unintuitive. The snap together UI is neat for multiple apps at once, but, that is a slight plus in the face of so many fails.
The problem with Windows RT was naming it Windows.
Had they just called it RT, or Surface or Metro or something other than Windows, the app compatibility wouldn't be a problem. OSX application support or, out of the box anyway, X or Gtk support didn't harm Android or iOS. The whole thing supports the same CLR as Windows so...
I think what's really hurting them is the insular nature of Microsoft. Spreadsheets aren't cool. Using Power Point in ads is more likely to turn off a user than turn one on.
I haven't administered a git repo before, but, with something like git that has historical commit data, do you need more than say, a month or so of backup data?

the part that plugs into the wall is mostly USB, with notable quirks so they can support high amperage modes.
Yeah but this has been a problem for social libertarians and social justice advocates.
Money talks.

According to this: http://www.statisticbrain.com/sat-score-statistics/ California is 34th, and Utah is 20th.

Stop smoking crack. It's bad for you.

uhhh
what?
Unlicensed controllers still work fine in the latest versions of PS3 firmware.
I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Consumer?
This thing has Xeons and FirePro GPUs. What about that is consumer?

Looks like a sanwa JLF knockoff. Proper sanwa JLF sticks have 4/8 way selectors and there are 2 way restrictor plates available.

It's an internal code name. Like Chicago, Longhorn and Cairo
the proper name is going to be windows 9.
