An Apple a day …
p2pnet.net News:- Apple has decided to employ the entertainment industry slogan, Get ‘em while they’re young.
The movie and music cartels routinely plant ‘educational’ copyright and other materials in schools in the US and UK, using teachers paid by school boards to carry their messages.
Now, “A selection of UK Apple Solution Experts will host technology seminars in April and May for primary and secondary school teachers,” says Macworld, going on:
“These sessions are designed to demonstrate best practice in the use of technology in the classroom and to help creative educators work more confidently with digital media. ‘Technology solutions in themselves do not transform learning. Sound practice, backed up by case studies should demonstrate success through school improvement and an increase in standards,’ Apple says.”

“Get ‘em while they’re young”
This is horrible. How dare Apple, a big mean ‘n’ nasty corporation looking to what has been a very well established market for them (Education) and expose all those poor innocents to technology.
Apple need to really sort themselves out, this prctice is just…unspeakable! Immoral! They might make some money out of selling themselves to schools. Dollar driven bastards.. not to mention they might cut in on the poor, poor angelic DELL, don’t they hold very similar marketing events for schools?
I hate Apple, their computers are white, man. WHITE!
