Students from middle school and up have relied on technology for years now. The vast majority of assignments must be typed, and you simply cannot get through school without internet research.

Engadget commenters, smart? You mean smart enough to criticize patent systems when Apple takes advantage of it but applaud Android manufacturers when they do the same? Smart enough to think that this will deter rather than encourage Apple to pursue more patent cases?
You can plug microphones, DJ rigs, and even guitars into an iPad. And audio and HD video aren't even anywhere near each other in terms of file size. I don't think you can plug in external videocameras, so you're stuck with the built-in cam, which only shoots really grainy 720p. Unless you want to transfer videos from…
And then you read MY post(s) again.
... I'm not saying that using base 2 figures is wrong. The imperial system isn't "wrong," but you can't suddenly start referring to inches as centimeters. Just like you can use inches if you want, you can use KiB if you want. But don't call it a KB when it's not a KB. If anyone's redefining the foot, it's you.…
"Kilo" will never mean 1024, sorry. You can find definitions of SI units yourself if you don't believe Wikipedia on it.
It's not marketing hype; it's SI. SI prefixes are clearly defined: [en.wikipedia.org]
This review is obviously biased.
Apple may not have invented much tech, but it makes lots of tech useful. Which is just as important. See: capacitive touchscreens and multitouch.
I laughed. Apple is by far the most attacked company on the internet.
No, you're making distinctions based on insignificant technicalities. An iPhone 4S is for all intents and purposes an iPhone 4S whether it's GSM/CDMA or 16/32/64 GB. The same cannot be said for two HTC models.
Apple needs to release a new Thunderbolt Display with a powerful GPU built in. Then I would ditch desktops once and for all and use an Air as my main computer.
Do you realize that aggregating and cultivating technology for new and different uses = innovation? No company invents every single thing they use. However, identifying what has potential and implementing those things in meaningful ways is innovation, and that's what Steve Jobs / Apple has been extremely good at.…
I don't need a star on Gizmodo to validate my life or feel good about myself. But whatever works for you, I guess.
Yes, but the developed world is moving further away from that. More and more people are going to college. Trying to redevelop the high school graduate workforce is counterproductive.
Er, no one cares?
If you think people buy Apple products for raw computing power, you missed the point. The overall experience (i.e. build quality, design, software, ecosystem) is why people buy Apple. You have a certain definition of "quality," which is fine, but Apple users have a different one, and it works for them.
I think it's very easy spot and avoid sites that are obviously made for piracy, like Megaupload, RapidShare, Fileserve, and Filesonic. There are plenty of credible hosts (i.e. Dropbox, as many have already mentioned).
