a laptop is one tool for education and can be used as part of a kid's schooling, but buying one just for the sake of buying one and giving it to a kid and expecting them to become smart is just silly.
what question should be asked is "when is a good time to start using a laptop in the context of my kids wider education" and I think that comes way after being able to write and read and do math and critically think what they read and not before

Well the web is just downloads like you were able to do for decades on the net and with modems before the web came along. it really is nothing new just some people who think they hacked something great.
Like many other people before the web I have downloaded some text and images and files off the web to view them.

says you in your naivete. look at the name ferchrissakes it is "podcast". If that's not a creation of Apple Computer then I don't know what is. It might look like it's not directly linked to Apple but with a name like that you can bet Apple was pushing for it in the background. check the money trail I bet you can see where it leads and it's not kansas.

The important thing is that guarana is better for you as it is a natural source of caffeine. so that's something to remember

it doesn't matter what you believe
it only matters what actually happens. and in the same situation before. Mac 68k to mac PPC the dual binaries stayed in place for years. even until 2001 seven years after ppc first started to come in there were still many 68k ppc FAT apps made for 68k macs.
when next was multiple cpu too the binaries across many platforms stayed in place for years.
what, is a developer going to go "oh there are 7% of mac users using intel macs now it's a year after they were introduced, let us drop PPC support even though it is 93% of our market. yeeeeeeah thats smart.
intel macs wont even contain a majority of macs until maybe 4 years after the changeover.
This is not a Microsoft vulnerability, this is a USB vulnerability. It won't matter if its windows or linux or mac you are using in the end, it will be vulnerable the same way and only the attack specifics need to change. the attack vector is the same on all operating systems, flaws in USB itself.
Yes. Simply put, my sense of privacy says that I do not wish to be tracked, in any way shape or form.
Your presumption that it is OK to do so and that because you want to make your site better you somehow have the right to presume that is arrogant and misled. I'm an anonymous visitor and I wish to remain anonymous. I do not want you recording any information on my IP, me, my browser, cookies, where else I've been on your site and how long I was there. I do not want to be given a customer number or an entry in a database. I do not want you to keep any record of where I go, whatever label you might put me under.
Disobeying my wishes is disrespecting your customers, and you wouldn't have a returning customer in me.
this is like the black & white film I think where everyone bemoaned that it was no longer available but few people who complained ever use it any more. so like it's the same with many tv shows when many people say "well that one should stay on air!!!" but they dont watch it even when it is on.
What happens is customer service is about servicing the customer. About performing work for them in exchange for the pay they give you for that service. It's people who understand that that I will go back to time and time again.
Instead of giving excuses on why you shouldn't replace something or why you won't do something for them think next time about putting your brain to work. ask "How can I fix this persons problem". then go do it.
You will find you have a customer returning next time.
First, we do not own what we actually buy, rather we 'license' it. We don't own it and what we bought can be taken away from us at the whim of the company that "really owns" the IP involved.
Now even our houses and land can be taken away from us by those same companies, for the greater good.
We don't own our DNA, as that has been patented.
We don't own our own medical treatment, that belongs to HMOs.
And people criticised the communist nations for state intrusion into private lives. ha.
When it comes down to it I'll admit that mac os x has many areas where it has superiorities over linux, but as a linux user I just can't see anywhere that linux isn't better in the end.
So no I don't think there's a threat at all, but a complement.
I have looked at the article and the slogans of the people protesting.
and what I can do is translate all of their little slogans they have written over their body.
they are saying "Nanotechnology is a big word and it sounds different. we are scared of it. please don't let the scary big word scare us and let us out of our backward little shell. please"
*Sigh* Just because you want more from (whoever, Apple in this case), it doesn't give you the right to demand more than is required by the terms of any given contract or licence. It certainly doesn't give you the right to accuse them of breaking those terms when you're fully aware that they haven't.
Well maybe we differ there but I see it as an abuse of the GPL for apple to make it do something that it wasnt designed to.
For example, it was designed to make sure people who use GPL code from somewhere give back by releasing their changes & source for what they release
And technically apple have done everything but "give back" properly. they have taken a very loose definition of give back.
Unfortunately the GPL allows that but it wasn't designed to

It is for the pseudo audiophile who will spend big big money on anything that looks fancy no matter what it does.
and it comes with a white power lead which as everyone knows is more conducive to warm pure sound than black power leads.

With undying loyalty like that it's no wonder nobody looks for the trail :-)
freedom of informaiton is only good if you use it. doesnt mean anyone will give it to you on a platter.
but if you want to be that loyal to big money so be it.

Isn't Linux the operating system that doesn't play well with games that use graphics cards like this?
I am not very interested, sorry.
I would say it were better if they had been included instead of not.
When it comes down to it I'll admit that mac os x has many areas where it has superiorities over linux, but as a linux user I just can't see anywhere that linux isn't better in the end.
So no I don't think there's a threat at all, but a complement.
You have to admit that eventually though also religion is self correcting too.
