  • What a deviously worded press release. We use PowerSchool here. We are aware of what the ramifications of a sale are. I am not sure how the iPod would possibly relate to PowerSchool, a web-based information system. They are obviously combining…
  • The inability to replace the keyboard is going to be a major concern. The iBook is used extensively in schools by kids 6-18. One of the things we have to deal with constantly is broken or lost keys and other problems.
  • Quote: Originally posted by concentricity It just seems a little odd to me, since photo/design professionals are the ones that always used to demand CRT hoods for keeping out all ambient light and glare. I have to agree with you. I do both IT …
  • I prefer proportional displays. It makes presentations a lot easier because I can use true mirroring (think about native resolution on the built-in LCD versus non-native). I have a 14" iBook and love it. I am probably upping to a MacBook Pro here so…
  • Reminder: This is not a discussion forum for the journal of the American Medical Association or some other entity of that caliber. I think a lot of the comments made were made in jest and should not be taken so seriously. If consumers want…
  • Quote: Some say don't do it, but I say why not? All it needs is to put these under the "games" category. It wouldn't add any complexity to any other usage. The menu allows the machine to serve different masters without making it more difficult t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MacCrazy ...this could be detrimental. I agree. Microsoft, in my opinion, has declared somewhat of a war on Linux and I doubt Apple would side against Microsoft. There could be a possible backlash of no more MS O…
  • I still laugh when I think about Steve saying that no one wants to view video on their iPods. This is going to explode into a huge new medium. All they need to do now is take the iPod video, rotate the device sideways so that you can get more real e…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ecking I don't see anything written by me that was talking about America. If American kids are not utilizing the great education oportunities that they've been given and other countries would wish to have, then too bad…
  • I had hoped they would use Ubuntu Linux, truly an Open Source environment, rather than Red Hat. But yeah, I can easily see them balking at OSX. Not only are the unnecessary "whizbang" GUI graphics going to grind the performance to a halt, but ge…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ipodandimac well you know, tiger really is a great OS point release, and were around when it came out? people left and right were bashing apple for releasing products too quickly. they didnt want to have to pay $130 …
  • I agree this is a bit silly. I have a Treo 650. The very first thing I did to after taking it out of the box was apply a screen protector. It's a fragile electronic device, not a rock or a block of wood. Apple should (if they don't already) sh…
  • Hold on...let me clear my throat...ahem...TOLD YOU SO. Heh. Nice bit of validation here. For a long time I've been speculating on the need for this type of iPod. Glad to see it is here. That being said, here's what I am seeing now: 1. No…
  • I rarely disagree with some of the stuff posted on this site, but in this case I seriously doubt that they are discontinuing the eMac. As a person who recommends educational purchases, the eMac is hugely popular in our district. We have a couple …
  • This looks like a beautiful product and I am definitely feeling urges to get one. However, I am disappointed that there is no direct USB connection. I would like to be able to mount it on the desktop of any Mac I need to work on and transfer file…
  • Quote: Originally posted by TenoBell But when you have tens of thousands of configurations to support, it becomes an entirely different prospect. It is impossible to support all of the various configurations with no stability problems. The peo…
  • I can't see how this is unexpected. These are some very resourceful people, and it comes as no surprise that they are able to circumnavigate Apple's scheme to prevent OSX being installed on "off the shelf" PCs. Rather than prevent this from happe…
  • Let's look at this logically, shall we? The burden of proof will be on Contois to prove that his patent has been infringed upon. The evidence is pretty clear that it has been. (Read next paragraph before flaming.) Mind you, I do believe the US…
  • I'd like to see them ship this sooner rather than later. People are excited about this release and we'd like to get our hands on it to become familiar with it. I hope this release sticks around for a few years and Apple chooses to update it rathe…
  • Bleh. Another so-called major point upgrade, another major shellout of cash. Anyone else tired of the continuing trend in the software industry to release a new version every year? I mean it's great they are releasing new versions; but it seems l…
