Level but not equal...

It is naive to consider that sitting in a class with the same teacher means the education is "equal" for all. We all start from different points of background, parenting, nutrition, etc. all of which influence our ability to learn, which is the most important part of "education." Education for that reason can never be equal.

Only online courses done right can come close to making possible "individual" attention and flexibility for different capacities of concentration, memory, synthesis and on and on, IF done right.

CocoLoco to Learn (CocoLoco por Apender) WILL come closer to making that possible for anyone who realizes that they both need to learn and will benefit and be better off for having this type of learning available and then taking advantage of it.

"If everyone had the same education, the inequality of income would be reduced by less than 10 percent. When you focus on education you neglect the myriad of other factors that determine income. The differences of income among people who have the same education are huge.”"

Google One Pass still too complicated!

It's SO simple. Just do what Skype does. It's perfect. You don't have to negotiate various telephone company servicies, you just plunk down your cash and as you call, the minutes tick by eating up your pennies usually at 2¢ a mintues.

Google could do the same. Let me choose my favorites like one does on Google FastFlip. In fact, Google could even use the FastFlip model. I plunk down my $10 or $20 via credit card and then I go through opening up sites. When I open those FastFlip sites to read the whole article then I pay. If Google could get everyone to agree on a price per page, then I just read.

Like on Skype there would be a money left box and I could gauge my reading habits according to how much I want to pay!!

It would be perfect. Without that model, then one will wind up having to set up payment schemes with a multitud of sites. Not. No one will take the trouble to do it!!

Please, please Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Sergey Brin: Skype did it. PLEASE think simple, easy, USEFUL!!!!

No spam on my Google searches

Listening to this discussion around 30min in, the discussion is about spam. I honestly have NOT seen spam on Google and I usually look at the whole 100 entries page.

I just plain don't trust Microsoft, so I don't use Bing. The Google experiment finding that Microsoft's Bing people have "borrowed," read stolen, Google's pages is just one more vindication for my choice of using Google.

They prefer dictatorship?

Looks like the three conservative justices who skipped Obama's State of the Union speech prefer a president who would not dare to call in question their decisions. Perhaps they'd prefer a dictatorship, where their decisions are not only considered above any law, but also beyond any criticism. So the right has now become rabid. Shame on them.

in reference to:

"The three most conservative Supreme Court justices — Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — skipped the speech. Last year, Alito balked when Obama took the court to task for one of its decisions. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, a former Colorado senator, was left behind in the event that a catastrophe forced a presidential succession."

Microsoft lawsuit re "App Store" = normal

As usual Microhard shows zero, zilch, nada of capacity for originality or creativity. Instead they sue to beg, steal, borrow or in reality, simply copy. Ah, the flattery of it all.
What about Solution Maker or iTool Mart? No. They want to use another's successful marketing phrase idea to boost sales of an already years old tired sytem because they don't have the brain power ingenuity anymore to do otherwise. Poor, sad Microsoft.
