I was just thinking that, lol! I wonder does this school give Macbooks or something. I've never seen that many Macs in one place. Ever.
Student discounts really help out when it comes to purchasing a new lappy.

Interesting... My first impression of the picture just re-affirmed my opinion of the journalism crowd.

This is a picture taken from one of the US universities, where, the last time I've checked, tuition fees were measured in tens of thousands of (US, but still... ) dollars? Sounds to me that, at the price, they are entitled to do whatever they want as long as it is not obstructing the class. Why, the ban on computers is going to make the class more interesting?

The last thing I want to see as a prof is a class full of glazed eyes, "thousand miles stare" faces daydreaming while I speak. I am certain that the room will be half full next week. Let them "screw around", some of the noise that I am making might penetrate their subconsciousness.

I was just watching the promo video on the ThinkPad tablet. I think this really is the most versatile and productive tablet on the market. It's pretty amazing what you can do productivity wise.

I've been thinking for a while that we're going to see a convergence soon of the tablet and the smartpen.

I'm a HEAVY tablet user at work (mostly as a PIM) but I'd love to be able to "jot down" notes while the tablet (or the pen, I don't care which) records an audio stream that I could refer back to.
