The closest you could get on an iPad is with 10.7 server w/ Profile Manager. You could remove the vast majority of the standard apps and force down Full Screen web clips that you could even change on the fly for all your devices. You could even set the devices to connect to specific wireless connections even with WPA Passwords. The only down side is some access to 'Settings'.
Microsoft is the only one giving you choice, but on slashdot they're supposedly always the bad guy.
You haven't been watch television lately have you. If you were, you'd see the Microsoft 'To the Cloud'commercialsadnauseam. They are right there with all the others wanting the same thing.
To the 'Mainframe' with all of them.
We got stuck in a similar issue with our schools. The cafetorium is scheduled for lunch at that time and doesn't have cable anyway. It also serves two different schools that are linked by the cafetorium. The only places that cable exists are in the libraries that can only sit about 30-50 kids each (grade level sizes are 130-150 per grade level and we are talking about 6 grade levels). Some grades wanted to watch live while others wanted to watch later in the day. I solved it with the new web server I was setting up. I am going to stream CSPAN over our network to classrooms with projectors.
I am using Quicktime Broadcaster along with QTSS (This is what we're using. You might find an alternative that fits your system better). Quicktime Broadcaster will also record the event at the same time and we will have it available shortly afterwards as a streaming video.
I chose CSPAN specifically because of their rebroadcasting rules. This allows us not only to broadcast it but also rebroadcast it for the high school the following week for class use since they have mid terms during the event.
The sad thing is that these schools were going to have cable installed in each classroom but the school board at the time worried about students/teachers watching tv all day. On top of that, the newly negotiated cable franchisee they signed just last year included wording that the school/town needed to pay for any new cable installation beyond the one they already have installed. Since we just found out that are state isn't giving $421,000 of the expected subsidy we budgeted in for this fiscal school year, we are sort of in a budget freeze. Work with what you got!
Under normal circumstances, users don't need access to terminal at all. Instead of trying to mess with ARD, you could just either deny terminal as an app in Workgroup Manager (If it's a bound client) or just simply move the terminal app to the local admin's Applications folder. This prevents Repair Permissions from 'fixing' anything and still allows ARD to do it's job.
Between this, ArsTechnica's report on Guitar Hero III Coming-to-PC and Macs via Aspyr, GameTap, and EA following through with their game announcements, It's finally looking 'not bad' for Mac gaming this year. I truly thought that Cider was a bunch of hooey, but it seems to be doing well.
You are forgetting bulk purchasing. If they are buying 500 at a time, they get a discount plus a negotiated service contract. The MLTI program up here in Maine did not buy the laptops at retail price and have a 4 year contract for AppleCare, not the standard 3 year AppleCare. Bulk can save.
Make sure you deauthorize your computer before you upgrade your RAM, hard disk or other system components. If you do not deauthorize your computer before you upgrade these components, one computer may use multiple authorizations. If you find you have reached 5 authorizations due to system upgrades, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen. Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers or if you have used this option within the last 12 months.
If you currently have that one and your current one, you can't deauthorize the machine but it doesn't have your files anyway. When you get to five, you can reset all and authorize the one you have.
But Target and Wal-Mart needs to RTFP. Apple's pricing is as follows:
$9.99 - Library purchase $12.99 - Pre-release and new releases for the first week $14.99 - After one week as a new release and before it becomes a library purchase (Take a look at Annapolis - $14.99. It was $12.99 the first week Apple started to sell videos)
So, Apple gets one week where they are $2 cheaper before Target matches and Wal-Mart undercuts their pricing. They are just complaining that they have new competition.
One thing about the current Mac Mini is that its monitor port is a dvi connection, not vga. There are adapters and there is HDMI. That will at least get your HDTV to be the monitor. Along side the H.264 codec, it might just work.

I take a iBook G3, load up 10.3.9 on it with all the software we use. I can then take this to an emac, imac (Tray load, slot load, Bouncy head), iBook G4, Powerbook, G3 G4 G5 PowerMac and start any of these into FireWire 'Target Disk Mode' and clone the drive to any of these machines. No additional installation neccessary. No driver conflict. Just works.
I look over to our MPC (formerly Micron PC). We have to make sure that we order the same exact PC in order to Ghost. If we have one change, we'll have some diffuculty. Especially if it has a different NIC card because that is an entirely different ghost boot image. If one of our departments are forced by the vendor to use Dell or another PC vendor. Ghost won't work. Ghosting desktops to laptops? Haven't even thought about it.
It's easy to take a look at two machines that are separated by six years. A tray load iMac can have the same image build as our iBook G4. Take any vendor and use a 6 year old desktop build an image to use in their newest Centrino machine and make sure that wireless card works without having to load any software. Now try it with Linux.
The idea that Apple built one printer driver that works and the other vendors just create a defenition file that describes what the printer is capable of is great. You still have options and it still works.
The only disapointment I have right now is the possibility of loosing the 'Target Disk Mode' because of the BIOS.
I believe that there is remote capabilites but not in the black soft touch way. iTunes has Rendevous. Say I have a G4 tower upstairs or a PC tower in the home office and I open my laptop in the living room. I access my iTunes on the desktop via Rendevous and tell the laptop to play the song on the stereo in the living room.
Still a lock-in via software but the remote software is sort of there.

The students who were posting links would probably come under continued harrassment.

or...
We
