Hmmm... while not as convenient, Apple bundled a stereo jack adapter with every phone, so your argument of Apple "FORCING" people into the wireless market is a bit bunk.
Personally, I've been using wireless headsets with my devices for a couple of years now, so I find the whole outrage a bit manufactured.
I agree. Also, I *always* sell my two-year-old iPhone for at least as much as a new subsidized one costs--I know, I know, I'm still paying for it with contract--so my out-of-pocket cost is nothing every two years, for a brand new phone.

I realize this is a bit off topic. but remember when copyright was a short-term (fourteen years, with another possible fourteen-year extension) agreement between the creator and the public, in that you could monopolize your creation with many protections, but at the end of the term, you had to turn over your creation to the public?
Now, we can argue that fourteen/twenty-eight years may be a bit too short in this day and age, but the pendulum has swung way to the side of, "I want my creation to benefit me for life," and then some, in certain cases. Thanks Bono. Sonny that is, not the one of U2 fame.
And before you say, "but if we don't have these ridiculously long term extensions, no one will ever create anything for fear of losing it," just look at all of the stuff on Bandcamp, Youtube, SoundCloud, etc.
And I did that on my Newton MP2000 years before your Treo 600. Granted, they were static maps--no GPS--but I'm sure we can play this game ad infinitum, depending on how we define handheld technology (Grog find Crog with rock map, hit Crog with rock map).
My guess would be because you hold the tablet closer to your face than the MBA, so the higher resolution is better served with the iPads. In my own use, I typically have my iPad somewhere between one to two feet from my face. My MBA is usually about three to four feet away, where the decrease in resolution is less appreciable.
Bach did perform on the piano, just not as a primary instrument:
At first [Silbermann's] experiments were - well - experimental! It is known that JS Bach tried one and commented critically by pointing out serious defects - heavy touch and weakness of the higher notes. Later instruments however, Bach was able to praise, and it is on record that when in 1747 Bach visited Frederick the Great at Potsdam he played upon Silbermann pianofortes, of which the king possessed a number, possibly fifteen. All pianofortes up to this point were of the harpsichord shape - what we now call the 'grand', with the strings horizontal and in a line with the finger-keys.

So, had he lived a bit longer--Bach died in 1750, so just three years after his visit--he probably would have written work for it, or at least translated his works to it.
As an instructional designer, I don't know why so many people are surprised with this. If you spend more time interacting with your students, instead of teaching at them, they are bound to achieve more in the course.
I cannot find the article at the moment, but earlier this week I was reading about an instructor who, instead of lecturing, used edX's circuits MOOC in his course. He then goes on to state that instead of spending his time lecturing, he significantly increased the amount of time he spend corresponding with the students--in other words, he flipped the classroom. The result was a significant improvement in exam scores
As stated here before, this goes back to Socrates. Instead of lecturing at your students, telling them what to think, interact with them, question them, get to know them, etc.

Man, I had forgotten those days. Thanks for the reminder, I think.
Shouldn't you Birts be using solar, anyway, as I was taught in school that the sun never set on the British Empire?

Look, I know pickpockets are not the nicest of people--they are petty criminals, after all--but to call them a POS is a bit harsh, isn't it?

I wonder if this causes a kernel panic.

Does it have a microscopic dot labelled "You Are Here" somewhere on the screen? If so, I want to see it.

Good teaching transcends modality and fad.
