Wait so are they going to stop selling the SE or are they just not refreshing it? If they're getting rid of it I might actually pick one up.

Durzel posted:Apple could take a stand a not sell their products in Russia if they felt strongly about it? An extreme measure, and they'd take a financial hit, but it seems disingenuous to quietly remove something you're supposedly behind because not removing might make things a bit difficult for you in that country, or eat into your bottom line. It's a business and as such they're going to do what nets them the most money. The way I see it all these companies are scrambling to appeal/advertise/accept the LGBT market because it's insanely profitable to do so, honestly if it weren't we probably wouldn't have these pride bands... I'm cynical AF but you're a fool if you think a multinational corp really gives a poo poo about you or the values you hold close. blah blah blah Corporations are amoral - lets please change the subject.

Electric Bugaloo posted:As a former middle school science teacher and academic adviser who has done curriculum building and “tech based teaching” with a partner who currently teaches high school science and SpEd, I can think of like a million good uses for a small, cheap, WiFi-only smartphone/pocket computer with a robust software ecosystem and lots of sensors and gizmos. Chromebooks are great too and I’ve used them in the classroom extensively but they’re totally different beasts. There are a lot of applications for where something small like a Touch would be super useful. Basically 80% of what Apple is trying to encourage teachers to use the iPad for could be done just as well or, often, much better and more flexibly with something like a modernized iPod Touch. Yeah I've noticed that a lot of people are exclusively using their smartphones these days. For a lot of people a computer doesn't really add a lot of utility to their lives now that they can do pretty much everything from their smartphone. Also I remember being really frustrated in college that I had to spend $100 or whatever on an iClicker because it felt so unnecessary and tacked on. At the time I just thought it was a product that was designed to just milk money out of educational institutions/students while providing no real educational benefit. Maybe I'm just really cynical but there's a reason most college kids draw a d on the remote so it say DiCLicker.
