If the Crunchpad is dead, what's next for ultracheap Ed tech?

Tablets never really became popular.I dunno why, but tablet PCs simply can't seem to take off as popular devices. They're [b]great[/b] for education, but not much else.It may also be that Crunchpad was a Linux device, and as much as Linux has a very loyal following - it never really...

What open source can teach medical practice

Great article, Dana.You did in such a short piece what CNN, MSNBC, FOX and other media journalists failed to do: tell the story as it really is. You didn't take what was news worthy and sensationalized it, nor played up a negative reading of it to frighten those possibly affected,...

Who wants tea with their turkey?

Push comes to shove.....I still believe Reid will throw down the reconciliation card. I'm sure he doesn't want to, but he won't accept defeat. If he can't get the sixty, he'll settle for 51.Which is a shame, because while the stated goals of this bill are admirable, in...
