From the page: "The concept of a large tablet device capable of many interesting things goes back to before the Newton but it was the Apple Newton that first captured our imagination that a device like this is possible. Apple has recently done more with the tablet format with the iPod Touch and iPhone then any other vendor but the jury is still largely out on this format with challenging devices from RIM, Palm, and Google often showcasing that keyboards are necessary.

From the page: "Alex Tabarrok on Marginal Revolution makes the excellent argument that if online colleges (for profit or not for profit) want to succeed they also need to focus on Rock Star instructors. I know that I have some very stringent quality standards when it comes to instructors, and we follow those quality standards all the time.

From the page: "From Tibet to Tehran, more and more front-line reporting is being carried out by freelancers and published online.
