I'm starting to worry that Apple is listening to the tech pundits too much. Getting used to a new way of doing things always takes time, but tech pundits have a perverse incentive to complain loudly and quicker than the other guy. Think of all the decisions and designs Apple has made that were initially panned by tech pundits, even by those that were loyal to Apple. I'm not saying Apple shouldn't listen to outside opinions at all, but what's the right balance?

Hypocrisy is always lost on the hypocrite

Sounds very cool.

Hopefully, this setup will be used to its fullest potential, such as reducing the use of paper for syllabi, homework, textbooks, etc., and storing and tracking data when interacting with university services such as health services.

I wonder if this kit will be offered on a loaned basis, or is it for the students to keep. If on loan, there might be a problem with students damaging/abusing their kit, and the waste that would result from retiring old kit. If for keeps, how much of the cost of this setup is covered by Apple's fund and how much will the school raise tuition in order to cover their cost?

I think one way the Google Store will be the opposite of Apple Stores is in sales per square foot.

I'm really looking forward to this feature rolling out, which will finally alleviate the mess of trying to recover accounts with forgotten passwords.

I have elderly parents who constantly forget, lose, or something inexplicable happens with their passwords. My father writes them down in a notebook and often misplaces the notebook or forgets to update it when an account asks him to change passwords, or enters the correct password but into the wrong account. My mother uses only one very simple password for every account, making all of her accounts highly insecure.

As the youngest family member and thus by default responsible for household IT, I'm constantly having to help them recover their accounts because of password problems. Often, the recovery process is confusing or gets stuck somehow. And even when recovery is successful, my parents will struggle with thinking up a new password; one which isn't the same (required by the system) but will be similar enough to hopefully be remembered. Lastly, although I don't have their same problem currently, I think I will eventually when I get older.

Being able to just use your face and or fingerprint will hopefully get rid of all of these problems.
