That would be cool. What would make it cooler is intead of having individual keys, have it be one giant touchscreen like a Ninitendo DS or (even better) like they have on Star Trek.
I don't think that could ever happen, not with today's technology.
To find out why, go to your microwave and see how quickly you can "type" into its keypad. Or, next time you renew your vehicle license plate registration, see how well you can type your address on the kiosk touch screen (assuming a kiosk like ours in Ontario).

I was referring to the EU... as in the European Union! I do understand that this might seem like xenophobia (which it isn't), but it's certainly not racist. Just because I don't want my country (nor any other country except Belgium) to be ruled from Brussels?! Are you drunk or something? Or don't you understand what it entails to be a member state of the EU? Geez, if I'm a racist or xenophobe based on my statement "it's not your country anymore", then there are no limits for what can be said about you.
Ahh, I see what you were referring to now. You meant that the EU governs nations more than the directly elected legislatures of those individual countries, right?
WillEH took it in an entirely different direction and you didn't really bother to correct him (in fact, you agreed and gave him a winking emoticon), so I assumed you were both talking about the same thing; namely that illegal immigrants were somehow "taking" the country from itself.
Both of you focused on the immigrants rather than the policies, which smells (really wreaks) of xenophobia and racism (racism because let's be honest, it is the underlying cause of the xenophobia). If you didn't really mean to carry on the topic this way, then once again this thread is the casualty of sloppy writing.

it's a pretty big assumption to assume that a student is 'hacking the network' because he's on a laptop.
So hack it from a terminal, show him up... XP
Ok DONT, but his logic is probably that if you hack from a terminal i'm guessing that they can track it a lot easier, hack from a laptop and it could be anyone right? I don't know, i may have watched too many NCIS and spy shows...
But basically if you bring in "hacking software" software on a laptop it'd be just as easy to bring it on a memory stick :rolleyes: and i don't know about your school, but i know mine didn't really have a great rep for being secure :p
I did bring in my laptop once and a while, but being almost the only one in the school bringing a laptop, and having it be a shinny white mac kind of puts a target on your back for anyone that wants to ******* with you.
BOTTOM LINE: Imo just don't bring your laptop unless you can actually see the policy, it might not be a school policy, he might just be an ass hole, but don't screw with him.

already does this for all the music in your itunes library
And Subsonic is better...
If you have an iPhone you can use iSub. Best combination out there.
Honestly, though... I'm really interested in seeing what iTunes will do with the cloud. While audiogalaxy and subsonic work, they require you always have YOUR computer on. If the price is right I'm going to the cloud.

Are you just making this up as you go along? The lid on the 13" MBA is no thicker than the 11" AND it has thinner bezels. I also fail to see how thinner bezels would have any effect on the keyboard size or the number of USB ports.
Just weight an MBA 13, and figure out why it weighs more and costs more.
And if you shrunk the bezel while still using a standard sized display (same cost), the keyboard would stick out the sides, which would look pretty whacky.

The only downside would be that an offline navigation system requiring only a GPS signal would require GB's of maps data to be stored on the phone. A sacrifice that a lot of people aren't willing to make. Especially people with the 16GB models. Otherwise, without an internet connection, you will just appear as a dot on a map full of gray squares. That's the reason Apple chose google maps in the first place. When they first introduced the iPhone, there would be no plausible way to store maps on a phone with only 4/8GB of storage.
Yes but if you enter an appointment in iCal then the system could cache the required data before you leave wifi range. Most your adhoc travel is going to be your home city right. So it could have a cache of your home city in high detail in a couple of hundred Meg right?
Sure if you where doing a couple months of travel it might need lots of space but day to day it shouldn't need much.

While a neat technology, it's a bit of a stretch to really call this "glasses-free 3D". Unlike the 3DS, where actual illustion of depth is present, this is just changing the perspective on a rendered 3D object on the screen based on head position. The image that the left and right eye sees are the same, thus no actual "3D" effect.
To be honest, you have just countered your own argument, none of the 3D technology is actually true 3D, its all illusions. They both have the 3D effect just done in different ways. I'm not saying the 3DS isn't great but it only gives the effect if you look straight at it.

And I'm in the UK, so i'm not sure about legal information.
Then you dont have to give it up. Period. I'm in the UK as well, and Ive been hauled up about my habit of having a laptop with me right the way thru secondary school + sixth form(2003-2010 if anyone wants a timeframe). I just told them its worth too much to give up, and if they want they can send me home. Otherwise Im not going to let them take it, and if they think its a threat, the only place its going is with me, home. They can't force you to give it up under UK law. :D (As in just hold onto it, they cant pull it from you, they cant lay their hands on you, unless they fancy a nice little media storm, since it cant be construed as a dangerous weapon)
Also, if they continue to moan about his "network" then firstly point out you werent doing it, as the Airport card was deactivated, and then next time take a really old (Like PowerBook 1400 era - ie 1996) Laptop and let them haul you up about that under "hacking" - then point out it cant as it doesnt actually have any networking ports at all :D (After I pulled that one I was left alone by IT for the last 3 years of secondary school)
Oh and also ask why they didnt take everybody's phones on entry to the school, since just about any smartphone can do as much damage as any laptop to their network (Most phones, especially Android ones certainly could be loaded with hacking tools... )

What does the screen look like when you remove the front flass panel? Is is still glossy under there? If the glass panel is just stuck on magnetically like that then what prevents companies of making simple bezels to replace it with the screen area cut out?
Magnetic ... glass isn't magnetic ... only iron, nickle, cobalt are magnetic. Your suggestions are not even possible ... learn physics before you suggest crazy ideas like this.

I've already sent about 5 reports of no coverage in our on-campus appartments at Cal Poly SLO. I figured I would get in before the millions of messages they're about to get do. Also in the comments I stated how they promised to build a tower to cover our dead spot at the end of last year and how they told me they were going to build a tower at the end of this year. Hopefully this year they will uphold their promise but I seriously doubt it.

If a teacher somewhere here in Europe would allow himself to seize private property, it would be a scandal and the teacher will most likely loose his job - rightly so. If it isn't like that in USA - then I am, frankly, shocked that a country which is supposed to be build on democracy is permitting such crude violation agains the basic constitutional order.
There are things like laws and basic rights (one of which is private property ownership). The school should not and can not "enforce school rules" by committing crime such as illegal property seizure. If using a laptop is agains the rules: you put the child out of the class and call his/her parents. If the child is playing with his phone during his exam, you fail him and call his/her parents. This is how the things should be done in a democratic, law-governed order.
To make things clear: the only cases when the property can be seized are: a) the property caries a clear and immediate danger (weapon, etc.), b) the property is not legal (drugs, alkohol in hands of a minor etc.), c) there is a court order permitting the seizure. Confiscation of a laptop is illegal and a criminal act under ANY law known to me. Sadly, people still insist on that "teachers can take stuff" thing, which is nothing more then a relic from old european teaching system. Interestingly enough, Europe has long moved ahead, yet judging from responses in this thread the USA still seem to miss the times of parental despotism.
I'm sorry to have to re-iterate my previous comment, but you're wrong and don't understand what you are talking about. I live in Europe (UK) and the law is very clear in that teachers have the power to confiscate items irrespective of its legal status, they also (believe it or not) have the power to search a students bag if they suspect inappropriate or illegal items are being taken on to school premises.
You may or may not like it, but i'm afraid what I state above is fact, it's law, in fact it was even re-itterated recently by the schools minister during the height of the mephedrone fad (prior to it being banned), in that teachers could confiscate pretty much anything if they possessed good reason. It has also been contested many many times by angry parents demanding their child's phone is not to be confiscated by the teacher, in the end the parents have no leg to stand on, the law is not on their side.

I'd have been sold on the 11" if it didn't have nearly 4" worth of bezel. I currently have a 13" MBA and I really hope the next true redesign addresses the bezel issue. I'd love to have a 13" screen on a MBA that has the footprint of the 11" That's really the only thing that will get me to upgrade my MBA. Sandy Bridge refresh is nice, but not reason enough for me to upgrade.
For those 13" owners who are bothered with the fan noise, you really should check out coolbook. I've been running it since I first learned about it and its been fantastic. Battery lasts longer, MBA runs a lot cooler and fan speed has NEVER hit full speed since I started running it.

Tried it both ways. Made no discernible difference. It saw the gaming area zone exactly the same for me. :(
