toys be obsolete

wouldn't this be an interesting result of ebook?

If there be another JKR ... their ebooks won't be worth as much in the collectors arena unless they actually publish books just to get a foothold in that market so you don't have this concern? Isn't the issue with young children is about getting near sighted, cross-eye, wearing glasses at an early age?

Is Riker, best man and Frodo, Maid of honor? Bilbo going to give away the bride? You know Archer has to locate Gollumn to be ring bearer? Picard has to get this marriaged ok by star fleet? You do know Q will host the stag party Spock will marry the couple Isn't dangerous for a Wizard and a Telepath to get married, it could bring in another Sequel before the marriage like Fantastic Four, lol Captain Kirk (Krunch) is going to quote shakespeare Sulu going to cry at the wedding Data going to have a emotional breakdown, spock will mind meld to keep the android sane Will the wedding take place about the NCC-1701 F? oh where is the honey moon?

ICEBURG RIGHT AHEAD

pro-old School

will iSchool get rid of senior day?

on Doomsday

I remember those days ... it looks like me yeah yer right rilbur, its good, I found "Background: "Should tablets replace textbooks in K-12 schools?"" at the bottom of pros and cons but their analysis is based on brand new tablets it really forgets about finding ways for a cheaper tablet

anyone watch it? now we have to watch out for shy teens who lives with their mothers who have evil older brothers

Rilbur, Sure its a nice article ... but I'm sure its not as comprehensive and has some weak n strong points Your price analysis is a good attempt but I not quite sure what was the bottomline figures, there was too much wording. A clean table would have made it easier to see where you where going in few words with a summary and the option to read your analysis I kind of disagree and agree ... with school specific * Perhaps the minimalistic bells and whistles but design and manufacturing would eat up the costs ... unless we're just substituting lessor parts Put it another way ... lets say the revolution is not happening just yet ... lets say about three years ... a serious program happens that gives us up to two 18 month periods or four 9 month periods for makers to go thru their d&M turnaround What we have today from Samsung or Apple of this year would be perfectly fine for three years into the future for school tablets We'd save on design and manufacturing the students would have choice for 8 or 10 inch * so given above ... we fit the tablet with hw parts and apps to make the tablet school specific Exam proof, apps that help the student learn better, insurance plans, device inactivation in case of thief, security software, etc, etc * Deliver exams since the device can verify the user and go into exam mode * the parents will have another way to know where their kids are and their active education progress * the device can also help monitor health if a student has special health issues (iWatch or equivalent) * Perhaps, if the device is being misused or in a location that has a certain crime stat ... it will require the user to verifiy itself with owner or else inactivate itself. the thief can only make use of it for parts but memory n cpu are gone poof * make the casing a bit rugged ... lol, we can learn a few things from like playschool (joke) they are making sort of tablets of their own I noticed tablet technology is starting spread ... WiiU and leapfrog is another example * If the device can survive Highschool ... maybe it can survive college or it can be given to a new owner in high school who is in need * Tablet manufacturers can be a source of old designs and refurbs Donated used tablets can also be another source and then refurb It be great to get a consortium \ foundation to receive donations of all sorts from private companies, citizens, gov ... to help launch a program throughout the country to help get us out of the #25 spot education need not be the object of politics and private industry ... perhaps this program can also help the 15 million plus who are out of work or even homeless the end result thru no strings attached long term donations with no gaps ... we have a workforce ready to take on the global free market, private and public industry will reap the benefits everyone working will insure public and private will operate better than today with perhaps the paradigm shift ... the school system will get a make over because the program will assure the progress of each and every student the parents will have the freedom to have their children where-ever they want at the school, work, etc .. as long as arrangements are made that the student will do their assignments the byproduct of reducing the wear n tear on transportation systems will help everyone the money saved means we can focus on improving infrastructure, security, laws, etc perhaps with making things better ... the free market also improves there be no need for the situations or circumstances we find ourselves in we factor out greed and bad from our culture

but we got doomsday preppers out there with shot guns!!

Karate Kid 2010 .. is should have been called Kung Fu Kid but that wouldn't sell tickets lol, the movie has plenty of mistakes Smith produced the movie for his kid, its not about his kid finding his own way in the industry Perhaps as a unspoken impression ... its a Father and Son collaboration ... a family business .. but for PR purposes its a go out and make a name for yourself Smith says to his son, I'll always be #1 and you got a lot of work ahead of you He says his son is after that and so is his daughter as they both glean at him across the dinner table AVP2 was awful ... I not seen the other predator oh the alien prequel ... I have mixed opinions but it does make it to this list

Here is business blog debating Text vs iPad http://www.educationbusinessblog.com/2012/02/apples_ipad_textbooks_cost_5x.html http://www.educationbusinessblog.com/2012/03/true_cost_of_ipad_textbooks_re.html Pro \ Con arguement http://tablets-textbooks.procon.org/#pro_con mmm (5 subjects)=> 71 vs 358 ... add BYOD=> 71 vs 141 there must be a lot of depreciation on the books but really it doesn't matter because in the period of not having to spend for books the school will certainly spend the money on something else also that cost figure may not factor in paying for the books on credit payment plan ... I wonder if schools can lease the books? The costing doesn't factor in theft and any lost of personal information like should the school add an app to track the device or if its stolen ... to inactivate the device ... have an agreement with the police to hunt down stolen devices but then the criminals can be smart and remove any tracking from the device or sell it so fast ,,, then its buyer beware The cost of monitoring the school forum n chat, However if its publisher forum (no chat) then the cost of monitoring may be partly theirs and the instructor They will have to monitor for bullying as per the anti-bullying laws but school admin will certainly find a way to say there costs involved most schools have internet ... its just a matter of adding routers and the cost of maintaining user security doesn't add-in mcafee security to each tablet .. adding parental \ school policy doesn't add the insurance costs I think some schools have cell phone jammers so this will prevent students finding a way around the school internet system ... if not then add the costs the cons of the jammers is if the school has mac attack ... no one can call for help except for the admins Certainly there is room in each of the pros n cons ... to explain whether its factual or not Yeah they can argue costs ... but hopefully with expectations that the cost should go down when you cornered the school system market that's depending upon extras and incidentals vs greed for profit Yes it seems the article could be viewed as Anti-Apple where as someone here is Pro-Apple and anti-android lol, imagine MS crashing into the party with Win8 or ubuntu your android device!! Another issue is if the schools go for Apple everything and the school admin and parents place all their trust in apple (is apple going into the textbook publishing business or cornering the market before amazon grows wise?) aren't they creating a monopoly or price fixing? Its possible if such a thing happens Amazon and other companies can make their arguments for Free Market Capitalism. will there be Team Apple School jackets for the jocks to pick their mates?

gosh present day ... but in an isolated town ... be like haven the original ... bw, low tech, the music ... the hitchcock thriller will a series real match the quality? darkness instead of bw there was a film with the same name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bates_Motel_(film) mmm do you thing freddie is doing a good portrayal of Norman? lol, maybe your too focused on max

lol, thats up to the imagination its sort of funny the parents know n the teen has to hide we can list down many ideas ... perhaps it can be a comedy

so whats left worth sailing on? the titanic 2 in 2016 the poseidon?

lol, real or fake ... wouldn't it make a great story to write??

i wish Les Mis 2012 be panned the 25th Anniversary show had better singers ... who would you prefer to play Marius ... Nick Jonas or Eddie Redmayne or Michael Ball? I think its a great honor for an american to sing on a British play; he fits the age of the character he's portraying more than eddie Ball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSzHAOkCDNU I wish they use the original singers ... much like how 1776 was Broadway and made into a movie they used most of the original singers but sorry I love the non singing version from the late 1970s

Lugh great story !! its nice there are some teachers that recognized intelligence gosh when my cuz told me that she had to educate her toddler on abc, simple math, and other things before she sends her kid into preschool that blew me away ... but then I hear that she's like a year ahead of the kids since some are at a different age ... that six month gap thing now she's a helper with the teacher ... she's learn to help the other toddlers with their skills it took a little time but she learned my internet friend ... he teaches 3rd grade science in Thailand ... can you imagine what they are learning for 7-8 year olds does any one remember what they learn in 3rd grade science? well it wasn't what was taught in Thailand the big test has a lot of questions ... these kids get high marks yet I wonder what happens in 3rd grade in our schools

Rilbur, looking back to my high school days where no one but the seniors get to have a locker ... the tablet would be a god send ... imagine carrying over 65lbs of books reduced to less than a couple of # that be heaven ,,, considering that I was really almost carrying my weight in books for four years .. now I like to sue the school for long term back injuries the school, teachers, and parents that didn't care about how much was being carried ... every class needed that textbook ... never a day was the backpack any lighter wrestling through public transportation with crowed buses ... each of us hitting each other with our back packs imagine rain, snow and ice walking for a mile on hilly terrain lol, I was lucky I could bench over 150% of my weight and leg press perhaps 175% ... I be in trouble if I couldn't handle the heavy back pack I was fortunate that junior high was the training ground for the back pack era ... Now that high school has a locker for every student, air conditioning, computers in most class rooms ... free tutoring help the kids really have it too easy and yet we're #25 in the world my #2 brother the scientist made a presentation at that high school ... he is mentoring a small group of students ... who have to put out a paper for nuclear stuff lol, I don't know if you remembered ... I put out a thread on the TED Nuclear kid ... the skinny lanky kid in the yellow radiation suit at the dinner table now there is a few more but they don't have the TED grant ... I don't think they played with any nuclear material ... but they do have to know their math and physics lol, somewhere between my brother and the students ... there is scientist language gap ... they weren't wiz kids ... but certainly they weren't dumb all this made possible by parents and a school equip with the latest access to technology they were the school that got to talk to crew of the space shuttle ... not sure if they sent up a science experiment I have to say whats available now compared to thirty years ago .. this is where teachers with masters and phd can really teach students with the right equipment yet somewhere we're #25 in the global world it sure is competitive out there
