perhaps the schools that are not implementing tablets in the last two years will be fortunate to the upcoming choices as the tablet wars continue perhaps ipads are nice to help drive the trend to change education ... but its plain economics that will drive implementation for years to come if a school did implement such an idea as mini android pc ... it be their decision about saving money and whatever considerations they wish to make the AMP can be used on the flat TV thru HDMI ... the technology is cheaper than a 250 dollar Android Laptop you still don't address the criminal impact to the tablet program ... my brother notices that in california car robberies are up because the criminal sees a blinking light that alerts them to something valuable is there to steel ... inviting criminals to come into more affluent regions ... I did share about students encountering criminals who come to them for their ipads if its a bad idea to give kids under 14 an ipad to take home ... then we're back to taking home textbooks or using laptops ... drowning with budget issues ... education is held hostage by economic n politics ... lots of debates within the educator communities .. companies will sell why their program is the best for the schools budget ... some schools will find out how the program doesn't work but thats after being locked into a leasing period ... schools will take the ischool path very carefully ... getting burnt can regionally destroy the chance of change to 21st century learning but there are schools that are piloting the programs to give ipads in elementary ... and perhaps we might one day get news that is similar in the UK some parents complain that they want their kids to learn to write and use even less computer technology have you noticed how many kids are wearing eye glasses more often than before the computer \ game age? parents complain of the addicting nature of computers ... parks are empty of older kids ... the kids are exercising less but then we can also complain that the schools are also cutting out gym from their programs ... families are less verbally communicative ... more twittering to get along ... its not human bonding in the real world ... cyber bonding I think the bottom line parents n grand parents want their kids to be well rounded ... put down the tablet n game cubes ... there are more things to experience in life perhaps the middle ground is ... the cloud is a place to house textbooks and curriculum ... the students will not bring to school or bring home a tablet... they are free to access the cloud from any device of the parents choosing ... access from the library computer and the schools will issue the tablets for in school learn only ... maybe this will curtail criminal activity and equipment abuse ... lol, schools might have to issue more lockers for students to store their tablets ... of course if a tablet is brought home ... the parents are at risk of paying for any damaged or loss equipment another view ... the toddlers and young children are experts at playing with technology .,. but the thing is its the parents that are not teaching them to use the technology nicely ... kids come in and treat school property the same way they treated their parents property ... parents only let the kids have the technology to keep them quiet ... if parents were educated by some usage programs ... perhaps there is a chance of curtailing device abuse

an interesting institution survey ... I am not sure how to retrieve the results https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NF555C2 I guess one has to wait until the survey is over but i'm not sure if the results are public

since someone didn't want to share about apple apology here is a translated version from appleinsider (its seems to be the same translation as the other articles have in their possession) clearly APPL didn't want to share with US what they really said in china so all we get is a translation and commentary Its really a damaged control response regardless of the quality of the translation ... you really have to look at the nature of the chinese language there are articles out there criticizing cooks use of the chinese language perhaps the only reason for china positive response is because of appl concessions not the cookenese language ... he's never been authentic in any interview given even on 60minutes the market controls appl not appl controls the market somewhere ... the nature of Appl setting the standard where few companies can deliver that shining beacon was not delivered in china ... if it did then there be no reason for an entire country to complain there be no reason to apologize

Looks like China officials are happy that APPL bend to make its customers happy Not sure what kind of market foothold it regained ... its still has to work with china mobile providers As described before of what china become and wishes to be "NOT APPLE'S FIGHT TO WIN" Apple doesn't have market influence in china to tell its mobile market what to do thus this is part of china complain of Apple Arrogance ... it worked in the usa but not in china (I have not followed the Europe but we all know MSFT has had issues with EU) China arrogance at foreign companies ... its own freemarket ... isn't so free there for foreign companies to compete They are protecting their domestic market to have its own domestic development but with the cyber war they wage its really when china is able to steal higher forms of technology so for the moment foreign companies are stonewalled For the moment APPL apology is a reactive stance ... we will see if they take a proactive stance in china its rumoured that they are trying to stabilize and perhaps move manufacturing somewhere else More iphone news

I don't need to baby u about the news piece ... u can google the text n get some hits u say u read the news but u don't know cooks apology was in chinese lame excuse ... surf ... don't blame lag ... one place is all the facts is lame so share something of the news with us ... the thread is about sharing so let us guess ... u hate to share or show u have any humanity don't blame someones language ... u been doing it for a long time on me your the one making it personal ... u took a quote and made it to be my language u know this is about u being inappropriate ... this is not the land of rilbur u didn't do your fact checking ... even though its in the box called quote it means I didn't say it ... in most cases this is also an informal forum ... nothing here is too scholarly so chill out ... stop bringing home the work into the forum people tend to not want to check out links so it gets tirings posting them notice you're still not sharing something apple u still don't notice ... u don't share your thoughts about cook like cook doesn't see good business ... which means less apologies ... earn customer loyalty he doesn't deserve his 2012 n 2013 bonus ... more like a pay cut ... the apple stock has hit bottom I wonder how soda man ceo lost his job ... it seems oosting jobs and then soda man ... it was a loose loose no one here seems too excited about iwatch, iradio, iTV ... well maybe later jobs knew when to break the news share something apple that comes from Rilbur has found out that we didn't know

I watched a tv show that shared the above case ... the episode was stating in this case that there was something in this young writers brain that needed to be cut out in order to prolong the life of the patient Its an interesting gift ... no writers block ... nice stream of consciousness ... but plagued with seizures that would be eventually lead to death as well as a lost of cognitive abilities ... yet the patient refused treatment .. it be thought as crazy ... incompetent to take care of his own welfare ... the argument is to operate ... by legal means The rational was that when a gift has you vs you have the gift ... its time to cut it out lol, the patient even wrote a story "Cut it out" But one doctor who recognizes the power of the humanities ... took a learn teaching ... what's important to whom the patient is ... is to do no harm ... so this one is a really gifted writer the question throw to the other doctors ... is it right to cut the brain of Dante, Moliere, Sir Walter Scott, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Alfred Lord Tennyson or even artist Vincent van Gogh implying they all lived short lives where science could have taken away their gifts to humanity Epilepsy Hall of Fame http://www.coping-with-epilepsy.com/forums/f36/epilepsy-hall-fame-7435/ Wow imagine curing Einstein before he made the bomb or discovered relativity? Its interesting that after their deaths it becomes our gift of humanity to cherish ... ie: gogh art ... Poe's writing ... but we didn't cherish them when they made it ... its ironic and in that irony ... a doctor would want to cut out a gift to escape a lawsuit by the patients family ... gosh do no harm ... its very difficult ... to understand the doctor

Wow this is interesting but I bet we all knew jobs left a legacy ... its just up to cook to not captain cook coo it up Jobs has a great knack for timing ... whereas gates had infantile silver spoon jealousy (movie quote) "I want it!" lol, the self-kill switch technology ... it quite indicative that making this tech has forethought that the police would not be so cooperative in retrieving stolen property ... so yes we need the Mission Impossible self-kill technology ... its design to keep peoples private information from falling into the wrong hands ... but of course as of this article ... such technology is not suppose to be shared with the public ... lol, now cyber hackers will one day look to trigger the technology on your future iphone or ipad or imac... and perhaps turn this apple godsend ... into a curse one other purpose is to kill illegal jailbreaker phones ... gosh It be interesting if or when courts would have a case about this future practice its also interesting if it has to deal with itunes accounts I would only like to see something like this on criminals who were out to steal personal information but I bet there are people who hate their own phones to show this picture if they didn't do anything wrong (any one see the movie The Net)

Gosh it feels like an economic cold war ... china too big to play nice in the global economy ... American businesses can't be fair to foreign consumers ABCNews got it right in another way ... china out to steal by cyber espionage, cheap labor, etc ... they are making their own calls to being an economic power ABCNews says Cook was predictable ... I still wonder how jobs would have handle things instead of Cook I think if Cook was fair in the first place as well as try to be next to brilliant as Jobs ... there be nothing to apologize no time wasted ... deliver products and show that apple can be a leader in tech but cook is just being like JR Ewing picking fights and descension ... ie: getting oracle to sue android and suing samsung ... and getting sued back for patent infringements .... lol, samsung seems to know that they have apple on the ropes ... its going to be an interesting years to come to see if capitalistic competition .. brings out great products .. and shows us the true colors of business entities

do u read the news ... its being translated from cook chinese letter so far there is no release of his letter in english he's not apologizing to u ... go reject yourself ... and find the english version rather than be a back seat driver you want it in english find it and share it with us (not the translated version) gosh just like u didn't believe in a iPad 128gb ... u never check the news to find out u don't have the latest apple gadget

ready for iRadio? ready for stealth iPhone6 or is it an iphone5 with an invisibility cloak? do u really wanna see whats behind your iphone? Does Tim Cook know how to apologize to Asian customers? lol, unlike the Apple Maps apology? ( Sorry, Tim Cook, apology not accepted - http://betanews.com/2012/09/28/sorry-tim-cook-apology-not-accepted/ lol, customers really felt misdirected with iPhone5 ) perhaps he's lucky he did not piss off the japanese, they have a different idea of what is an apology is Does anyone feel cook's apology or still feel like he should not be trusted? or is it because of the asian gov't smear campaign? cook seems to not know how to drive Apple with customer centricity ... new product deployment ... foreign customer respect n trust ... establishing a new market ... labor contracts it feels like he's a bean counter ... than a visionary \ entrepreneur Will cook keep his job or will someone replace him? the stock is still headed to 2011 prices (405) ... today closed at 428.91 Cook can afford the best market advisors as well as the best cultural advisors Why doesn't he make use of those resources? is it "Apple arrogance" or "Cook arrogance"? Yes, I understand that dealing with china isn't easy ... so will cook learn that his china market failure is inevitable? I wonder if Jobs can do a better job than captain cook in China?

If a student loses an tablet ... regardless if it is theft or damaged ... does the parent pay for it? Perhaps the parent does as if it were textbooks ... the parent has to pay, right? Does a family that can barely make ends meets ... get a wavier for above vs the family that can afford? Part of the point is that there are costs ... but the thing a criminal may not be so interested in stealing textbooks vs an ipad some schools are putting the tablets in sort of rugged cases Perhaps yer right ... that the teachers would use tablets for in-class teaching for the younger ones Android\win8 - for education - wouldn't it fragment less compared to adult\personal use? The student would be using the text, using apps, very little browsing the internet, small homework data files If all materials, exams, and homework were stored on the cloud, wouldn't there be less to worry about? The fragmentation is due to browser temp files? Perhaps schedule an defrag app once a month. Its hard to find real independent study on the effectiveness of tablet in education on the internet its hard to say if the educator saying no or yes ... is biased in their judgement it seems to be that a non-profit company (supported by the gov't, state, donations) that would sell tablets from china and make the software would be better suited than a for-profit company where the motive for-profit is usually the reason to shut the program down. Perhaps the better company is one that has their apps on iOS, Android, Win8, and Linux ... that can run on tablets, laptops, pc, or mini pcs. This gives the educator the means to develop their plans in accordance to the budget their region, city, or state can afford. Sure that iSchool maybe working out for the first year ... the good question is when something happens in budgeting or if the company shuts down ... would the schools return back to books one day or hold a charity fund raiser to make up the difference?

belated happy birthday

what are complications from heart surgery?

the issue for that school is being able to spend 1.5 million dollars for the three years for 1000 students they have plans to expand the program in 2013 and thats only for elementary after another couple of years we'll hear if high school and middle schools will get ipads or not please note that ultimately the people will pay the 1.5 million dollars ... if every student got an ipad ... every household that has children will have to pay an extra 1,350 a year for three years in taxes ... there be a bit of an debate with households with no children to pay for children ... then seniors would be up at arms if they had to pay an extra 600 dollars a year in the alternate idea with the money saved ... other areas of the school can be easily equipped with touchscreen monitors coming out ... ranging from 7inches and up this can replace the monitor and keyboards ... perhaps portable ones will soon be available lol, in the economics, someone will try to make it costly to have a mini android pc and portable touchscreen monitor be expensive enough to encourage you to buy an ipad but we can always count on the china to sell them cheaper than the local companies here The issue with ipads in the public, buses, n trains ... its advertising to the criminals to come and steal ipads from the student who will get hurt in the process I wonder if the school n the company consider the increase in crime n bullying

oh how sad, I will miss him!!

..

an interesting thought from another thread ... arming students with the android mini pc ... they cost 50 to 100 dollars ... all they have to do is hook it up to something like a hub that has a monitor and keyboard ... it has wifi ... connects to flat screen tv so ... android mini pc .... 75 monitor .................75 keyboard n mouse 40 32gb .................... 22 thats 212 vs 500 ipad per student 1000 students => 200K (bulk buy) that's 300K saved for the first year and subsequent 500K x two years => 1.3 million dollars saved if parents buy anp and 32gb => then the school only invests 115K and the parents 100K a few ozs vs 24oz

I help my aunt and mom get a flat screen tv ... so @700 dollars ... its like that be the price of an ipad ... avg size flat screen vs ipad ... big size difference Thanks for the idea of Android mini pc ... it be nice idea to watch movies via hdmi ... or quickly check the web easy to add at 50-100 dollars the good question is for an in expensive wireless keyboard gosh their like half the cost of an Android mini pc lol, imagine if school had the students buy this just to learn computers and then they can easily connect it to their flat screen

Imagine someone stealing your iphone6 and chopping your finger off
