I no longer write phone book apps. I write an app used in 10 million classrooms around the world in 58 languages."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

No wonder kids can't read anymore.
Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

You haven't swung and missed that hard since you bought the Stratus. All the tech I own serves a purpose -- my Macbook Air is an all-day workhorse, my iPad keeps me entertained on the plane, my Amazon Kindle helps convince women I read books so much that I need to store 2 GB worth of them, and my digital thermostat makes sure that my living areas are the right temperature to trigger the famale sex hormone (this is legally NOT considered a roofie -- quite a loophole I have found).

I can't remember a time in high school when I thought "gee wiz, I'm glad we had a smartboard." My physics teacher (who is the early-adopter type, gets every new gadget as soon as it comes out) tried the smartboard out. He realized he could do better by projecting onto a whiteboard and using dry erase markers. Which he then proceeded to do. To be fair, the idea didn't occur to him until he got the smartboard, so I guess we can thank it for reminding us that sometimes the situation calls for low-tech ingenuity, not high tech expense.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Correct. I have not seen anything like a smartboard here at CMU. The closest we have are these document cameras that basically allow you to use the projector station as an overhead. During my freshman year some CS professors tried using tablet computers smartboard style, but it sucked, so they stopped.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Universities expect students to provide their own technology, so I dont really see how theres a greater point to "universities don't do it, therefore its invalid as a tool"."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui
'I'm fairly certain that a ban on me punching you in the face is not a "right" worth respecting." - loinburger

The smartboard is like a whiteboard for people who think that whiteboards somehow don't manage to do the job of getting words onto a wall so people can see them. Universities have realized that the premise is false and so do not pay for them. It's not something students would provide.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
