That they also slammed down on accessing the online stream from multiple locations. I pay for unlimited streaming but now I cannot watch a movie in the living room while my kids watch a movie in the basement.
... making the school a vendor of a service(education) and the student the customer? Changing the rules/contract without proper discussion with the client/student breaches the original contract. Maybe I'm being too simple with my reasoning, but can't an argument be made along these lines as well? Discuss.
That is a matter of opinion. The opposite is true for me. I stream from Netflix a lot and I happen to get the occasional physical DVD,therefore, for me, they are a movie streaming company.
I agree. As a parent with 3 children who all have computer media centers in their rooms, I believe that the amount of parental involvement makes a huge difference. My wife an I place limits on screen time and enforce study time. As a result I have 3 honor roll students.
I believe that the mall setting where it is, is exactly where it should be. There are several ways to get to it without encountering tons of traffic. It is accessible to people staying st hotels near the airport, for quick shopping while traveling. The traffic problems in that area are no worse than they are in any other section of the Chicago suburbs. I drive in that area daily. The major problem is O'Hare. There is so much traffic going to and from the airport that some alternate entrances and exits to the airport are in order.
If I buy an iPhone, isn't it MY phone? Don't I get to decide what is objectionable content by not loading that app or going to that website? When did Apple become my parents? After all, I'm 44 years old. I think I can make a few decision for myself.
A few of you get a bit too worked up. Better up the daily meds. Mike is just expressing his opinion as he sees things. If you don't like Mike or his army of 'Techdirt Lemming Punks' maybe you should find another news blog to read.
I believe that is exactly the point that Mike is trying to make. It is not an addiction and the first thing a parent should try to do is to stop enabling the behavior by removing the phone. If, in fact it is later found to be an actual addiction then the parents would have done the right thing by removing the object of the addiction.
Um, setting or preferences anyone? I am a software developer for a company that makes custom software for the advertising and cable industries and all of us developers use IM to stay connected. I set my status to busy/away when I don't want bothered and I turn the sound settings off. You can also turn off the pop-up option on most IMs.

Actually, about 75% of this album gets regular air play on any classic rock station. Please pick another album.

Simple question (as Troy A. Wilson Sr.)
If I buy an iPhone, isn't it MY phone? Don't I get to decide what is objectionable content by not loading that app or going to that website? When did Apple become my parents? After all, I'm 44 years old. I think I can make a few decision for myself.
