Inside Higher Ed had this article recently on BlackBoard (the makers of the 'popular' learning management system by the same name) buying an iPhone application company.

Διάβαζα αυτό το άρθρο στην Καθημερινή και μου θύμισε τις δικές μου εμπειρίες με την διδασκαλία των μαθηματικών στην Ελλάδα. Όντως συμφωνώ, πές το και ας είναι λάθος! Άμα είναι λάθος ο καθηγητής θα σου διδάξει πως να βρεις

Όντως λίγο περίεργο, αλλά τελικά είπα και εγώ να αγοράσω ένα νέο κινητό για να αντικαταστήσει το χαλασμένο μου Νόκια. Το κινητό είναι λοιπόν το νέο iPhone 3GS (ή IIIgs λολ)Οι πρώτες εντυπώσεις είναι αρκετά θετικές, αν και η μπαταρία
