Some of the most popular student uses included recording lectures, taking oral notes, and even using the devices to create electronic flash cards.
Professors reported that students seemed more engaged in classes where they could use the iPods. They also cited strong student use of the audio capabilities of the iPod in their presentations, and more accuracy in quoting from interviews they did using the iPods.
How long will this last? If a new device comes out, an iPod-killer so to speak, will students require those to succeed in school? If so, this says more about students and the education system than about iPods and their perceived educational benefits.
If AP charges newspapers and so on for posting its content online, they will pass that cost on to the consumers.
However, most people get their news from Fark, Slashdot, Google News, Yahoo News, and other news congregation sites. With linking, users of those sites would have to pay to read the article. Hence, the newspapers will pass the cost to consumers via Google and Fark. Some might use an ad-based model, but most will use a subscription model.
And if these newspapers use a yearly subscription model, you can be sure some generous people will post their usernames and passwords via BugMeNot.
If people refuse to pay AP and find other sources for news, it will mean that AP will be forced to change its online pricing model.
However, it could also mean that those who pay AP pass these along to the consumer via Google News and Fark, which could lead to BugMeNot getting slashdotted every time a news story breaks.
I personally use Mozilla Seamonkey, which I've been using since 1.3, and even before with Netscape 6 and 7.
You "can" customize Firefox, if you know XUL well enough. Firefox has User Javascript (Greasemonkey) too, as well as Mouse Gestures and so on. But they've been there in Opera for a long time.
Firefox is popular because it is riding on a huge trend, spread via blogs, news sites and general grass-roots marketing. That's something that Opera doesn't have. And even though I'm a long-time Mozilla user and supporter, I'd personally still use Opera rather than Firefox. But I still have my trusty Seamonkey.
I still wouldn't discount Opera. It has a strong presence on all platforms, and that's important as it provides a single, interface across all platforms, and this will become important as workplaces and homes, too, become more cross-platform.
The rise in Firefox usage has three major reasons: 1. security reasons 2. Seamonkey's perceived bloat 3. trend
Security is never a guarantee. Trends don't last. And Seamonkey, especially 1.8x, is as fast as Firefox, while providing more.
Opera, like Seamonkey, has a strong core userbase, that have been using that product for a long time. I do see however, Safari trumping Firefox, if Longhorn fails to deliver, and with the continued strong showing from Apple with the OS X products.
Firefox will be hit with exploits, and with its rudimentary update system, people will look elsewhere. And given IE7's lack of support for some things, Opera is the obvious alternative.
Oh I don't know. How about Google with its caches, those guys who like burying time capsules, and businesses and governments for backing up their data? I'm sure there are more, I just don't feel like marketing right now.
Firefox, let's face it, was designed as a alternative to IE. The reason it supports the Mac platform is because Gecko supports the Mac platform.
Firefox takes the best features of SeaMonkey, puts it in an IE-like interface. That's it. It was never designed to be a Mac browser, because there was already Camino. And Camino is second-rate compared to both Opera and Safari.
It's fair to say that this will not change anytime soon. Firefox is the IE-killer, and that's what it was designed for.

Disgusting cellular structure? 3G is not that bad, honestly.
This is the book which answers the eternal question: "Yes, I know. RTFM. But which one?"
Wait a minute. You run Doubleclick don't you? I should've expected it from someone called AdB

It's all here: Trek Report: "Bound"
Paramount is owned by Viacom, whose owner is a bitter rival of Rupert Murdoch, who owns SkyOne, one of the participants in the deal.

It will when people get tired of Firefox.

And they say the GPL is viral!
Interestingly, I used a perl script to come up with that name, because my first choice was already taken.
It is the latter.
I, too, am a perl coder, and I know how many coders like to use tricks in their code making it difficult to understand without a comprehensive look.
now we have code no one can comprehend on screens too tiny to be legible.
What's your IP? I want to add you to my PeerGuardian. I don't want you infecting me.
They patented the following algorithm (and I know I'm going to get into so much trouble for this, but what the heck):Those intelligent bastards.
Coincidentally, that's IE's problem too.
If it's broken, it should be fixed, not thrown away.
Imagine if Microsoft just removed IE because of all the security problems....wait. Let me re-think my position on this.

Finally, then, will I be able to hit that damn monkey.

It's a great game, just not an innovative one, and this is important for one reason: it proves the viability of open-source games.
Other software (such as Co-Linux, Slashcode) help to prove that open-source can be innovative too.
How well does this fair against PHP-Nuke, PHP-BB, invision and other CMSes? Does anyone have any first-hand experience?
until they discover evidence of the existence of Biggus Dickus?
