Scottish iSchool goes 100% iPad

I can't speak for them but..

I've had nightmares trying to get software for older macs, which is, I think what they're referring to.

If you're moving software across a divide like that of the PowerPc / Intel mac families it can be impossible. That's my experience.

Forget the druggies, go direct the fanbois. These kids are going to be the most attacked catholic schoolkids since the Holy Cross.

Here is your finger, far from the point..

iPad = (almost) porn-free zone

Whatever you might think of not letting an adult look at porn on your device, not letting kids look at it is actually advantageous.

I bet they would have used netbooks had it no been for Apple's porn-resistance.

If We Don't Have Wings...

...then we have a valid reason not to fly.

If you want to base all your decisions on the shape of your body alone, that is.

As it stands, I don't think the problem is that we eat meat, it's how much meat we're eating.

Meat has gone from being a luxury item to being part of almost every meal we eat, and there's no historical precedent for that which I'm aware of, certainly not for the general population.

The industrialisation of meat production, and consumption, is neither time-honoured nor a natural state of being. It's making us fat, it's a disease risk and it's not 1/10th as energy efficient as plant farming.

Also, our guts, being long and convoluted, and in discernible stages, are closer to cows than wolves. That's why too much meat makes us constipated, for example.

If you're going to commit the natural fallacy, do it for the whole body, not just the teeth.
