That's led to some problems with nonshoppers monopolizing the machines and taking up space: in mid-2007, Apple blocked access to MySpace, which was then the world's biggest social-networking site.<br />I hit up Apple's Fifth Avenue flagship store in midtown (you know, the big glass cube), the 14th Street store in the Meatpacking District, and the store on Prince Street in the downtown neighborhood of SoHo.<br />At the Fifth Avenue store, I was able to access Facebook from one laptop, but on another, the facebook.com domain redirected to an Apple Store page. In the Meatpacking District store, meanwhile, two laptops loaded Facebook without a problem, but a desktop computer brought up a message explaining that the parental controls feature in the Safari browser had blocked it."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5483161227317314797-6300411117403847145?l=professorgreenmachine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Valerie Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15371434385541797875noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483161227317314797.post-45504104837105368432009-02-06T22:12:00.000-08:002009-02-06T22:15:31.966-08:00Here is a story MSNBC just posted:<br /><br />MSNBC<br />- Feb 06, 2009<br />- 2 hours ago<br />That means Channel 7 viewers will have until June 12 to prepare for the digital television transition. That’s the new date set by Congress to allow people ... (sic) to have more time to convert to HDTV.<br /><br />Wow! It is amazing how Americans procrastinate in technology adoption. When seatbelts were frist proposed in the1960's the American Auto companies kept pushing back the date saying it would cost too much and they couldn't handle it.<br />It wasn't until the late 70's early 80's that seatbelts were mandatory in cars.<br /><br />Once again, we put money above all other considerations, even saving lives.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5483161227317314797-4550410483710536843?l=professorgreenmachine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Valerie Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15371434385541797875noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483161227317314797.post-28368002230332556362007-09-02T20:23:00.000-07:002007-09-02T20:53:54.429-07:00we shall see when the student's in Comm 6312 answer this question next week in THEIR own blog.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5483161227317314797-2836800223033255636?l=professorgreenmachine.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dr. Valerie Greenberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15371434385541797875noreply@blogger.com1
