Arthur Benjamin: Teach statistics before calculus!

Posted by

http://www.ted.com Someone always asks the math teacher, “Am I going to use calculus in real life?” And for most of us, says Arthur Benjamin, the answer is no. He offers a bold proposal on how to make math education relevant in the digital age.

In Depth Look At iPhone OS 3.0: Part Two

Posted by

This is part two in my short video series going over some of the new features in iPhone OS 3.0. I apologize for how late this is, as certainly by now anyone who has 3.0 will know this, but I knew I had to finish it up and not just have a part one hanging around.

I do recommend that you upgrade to 3.0 regardless of what device you have or whether you want to jailbreak or not. Feel free to check out my videos, where I have tutorials showing how to both upgrade to 3.0 as well as jailbreak it.

Great Places To Find Deals on iPhone and iTouch Cases

Posted by

Sites:

http://www.amazon.com

http://www.dealextreme.com

This is a video on a couple of places where you can pick up some very nice deals on various iTouch and iPhone cases, as well as various accessories such as headphones and screen protectors. Generally the stuff you will find on Amazon is name brand stuff at nice discounts, and on DealExtreme you will find much cheaper, lower quality stuff. Don’t let that necessarily deter you, though. For only a few dollars you can snag some decent stuff, so if you’re willing to take a risk you might be surprised.

And the knockoff iTouch is awesome. You know it.
