These are 6th graders, they're gonna screw around with em. Going with iBooks with OSX would limit them from installing games or filling up the HD with crap from p2p. Those are the same things some Mac users complain about, but for something issued by the school thats supposed to be for education, its a good thing.
When you start it for the fisrt time, or after it crashes, your presented with a little selection box, start with no pages, start wiht home page etc. Above that you have the option of either "Windows on Desktop", meaning it behaves like most things, multiple windows appear in the bar at the botttom of your screen, but you can still use tabs. The second option
"Windows in Opera" is exactly that, if you open a link in a new window, or if you get a pop-up(if you have that enabled for some reason) it'll appear as a window within Opera and not add a tab to your windows taskbar.
You can see very clearly in this shot. Actually the little loop that excess watchband slides under(it says USB on it in the pic)is a hard plastic that clicks back and forth. Slide it towards the buckle the cable end pops out, put the plug back into the molded slot in the band and click it back away from the buckle and the plug and cable are locked into the band. I love it, its one of the coolest/geekiest/convinient/most useful things i own. It's a tad pricy, i've never owned a watch that cost more than $20, but if you subtract the price of a comparable sized USB drive your still getting a very nice/stylish watch for about $50. More info can be found at the companys website.
Dockers mobil pant, the commercial had a girl in a diner with x-ray-spex looking at the guy and he had keys and a cell phone and a pda and some other stuff.
I tripped over one of those the other day and nearly fell down the stairs, i cursed out the kid after (making it look like an accident since id already tripped) kicking it down the flight. The damn underclassmen who dont realize they dont need to carry every book with them at all times have these and are too small/fat/lazy to carry it themselves. I manage with a small shoulder bag with a few notebooks and my pens/pencils/calc/etc in it and if i need a textbook i get it from my locker before class, carry it myself, and put it back after the period.
Just a phone built in with the buttons along the edge with a headset, similar to laptops that have media (stop play, next) buttons on the outside so you can control music with the laptop shut. Batterywise its impossible, but maybe couple this with VoIP and Wi-Fi.
Particularly this, i love it, but unfortunatly i bought the 256Mb before the price drop and also shortly before the released a USB2 version which isn't carried by thinkgeek yet.
I'm wearing a pair right now. Bonus, they've got stain defender! Which is all sorts of fun, plus IIRC these are the pants with shielded pockets so your cellphone/wifi-pda doesn't cook your balls.
LOL, that sounds like absolute bullshit, a power cord is one of the easiest and quickest things there is to repair, plus i'm calling bullshit since most CE i know of have the power cord plugged into them as well with a standard 3 prong, or some like my laptops power supply and my dvd player use a 2 pin one.
I'm a trillian user, and i was having problems with the program itself since the yahoo block. Aparantly whatever yahoo did would crash Trillian if it tried to connect. I managed to fix things by deleting the yahoo dll file on my Win 98 laptop, which would crash completly because trillian loaded and connected on startup, but i had to go through this crap to fix it on my XP box. Its fine if yahoo wants to try to block out third party clients, but they definitly should not do it in a way that crashes peoples computers.

Saw this in the back of PopSci, may be what you need and more.

Win+L will quick switch users and take you back to the sign in screen.
So when the hell would we be able to pick our noses, scratch our itches or pull out our wedgies?
Granted, Apple isn't all neon lights and windows and crap like that, but Am i the only one who thinks the G5 case looks like a cheese grater?
no the "B" isn't a typo, /. doesn't support such things as a scharfes, but in translation it makes a double s ("ss") sound
Or conversly i'd like a distro about 1/4 the size of knoppix that could fit on a usb drive or this.
Yeah, he was blown up on the first Death Star.
Dear god! I hope that second picture was staged and those things dont actually have enough strength to climb up into a seat by themselves...

Well, the only two combinations for those words that got results were Nude Mujahiddeen and Nude Amputees.
