anything over free seems like a lot to pay for something that looks so limited.
pay $1 $2 do who or what?
what would I do if unable to do challenge? (don't have facebook.)
only 30 cards? surely you could have come up with more than that. (or are you planning on having card sets as in store purchases?)
some of the display photos are redundant and after looking at them I still have no idea what kind of experience I might expect to get out of using the app.
I work in educational technology for a school district of ~5000 students. I am also a Google certified trainer. My opinion is obviously bias, but here it goes.
1) It will integrate with my current student database (active directory, synced with Google through GADS)
2) It will work with the tech my teachers are already comfortable using (Google Drive)
3) It solves a problem I already have, rather than giving me new ones to deal with. I already have teachers struggling to assign/grade/return assignments using their Google accounts. If I were to set up (for example) Moodle, now I have a list of new problems (managing _another_ set of accounts, integrating it with our scheduling system)
4) Staff interest. I'm going to get more people to come to my PD if I say "Come learn about Google Classroom", than if I say "Come learn about blackboard"
Last, and most importantly
5) Price. It's free. I don't have to ask the board for permission, I don't have to create a future cost projection, I don't even have to make a PO. I just have to turn it on and train the staff.
I think this is a good illustration of the value of process-based goals over outcome-based goals. The things under control, you completed. Those not under your control you did not. Sounds pretty cool to me.
Seems to me like they are trying to get libgen into the spotlight so it might be shutdown. Remember library.nu?
"If you want to steal the text, it's pretty easy to find an illegal copy, but you can get a nice illegal copy from LibGen. There's little risk in stealing stuff off the internet,"
It looks like they implemented some countermeasures. There is an I2P service for the site and you can download torrents of the content: ftp://libgen.org/repository_torrent/
I was excited to learn about a new Android release but all I got was a transfer to the KitKat candybar site at the bottom and a manipulative "See if you have won!!! aka go buy some kitkats" at the top.
" TrackMeNot runs in Firefox as a low-priority background process that periodically issues randomized search-queries to popular search engines, e.g., AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and Bing. It hides users' actual search trails in a cloud of 'ghost' queries, significantly increasing the difficulty of aggregating such data into accurate or identifying user profiles. To better simulate user behavior TrackMeNot uses a dynamic query mechanism to 'evolve' each client (uniquely) over time, parsing the results of its searches for 'logical' future query terms with which to replace those already used."
more of this : "But the last thing it will do is intimidate or deter us in any way from doing our job as journalists. Quite the contrary: it will only embolden us more to continue to report aggressively."
less of this: "ohh noo.. Should I write my opinion on the internet? What if the NSA is watching????! Will I be put on the...the. the list???"
