Missouri journalism students required to buy iPhone or iPod touch?
,----[ Quote ]
| Before you protest that it may seem ridiculous, lavish, or favoring Apple to
| force students to pick up one of these expensive pieces of hardware, Brian
| Brooks, associate dean of the journalism school, told the Columbia Missourian
| that the requirement "will not be enforced, however, and there will not be a
| penalty for students who chose not to buy an iPod touch or iPhone."
|
| So why require it? Brooks said that it'll helps students review recorded
| lectures, but the real reason for "requiring" the purchase is for the benefit
| of students on financial aid.

| During the event, dubbed iRony, users were walked through the
| process of installing flexible and featureful free/open source
| software firmware -- without DRM -- onto their digital audio players.

| [...]
|
| Organizers set up laptops running Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Mac OS X,
| and Windows XP at the center of the room. iPod users brought
| their players to experienced users, who would determine the
| generation of the iPod and the current partition format, and
| inquire about the user's needs. Together they would decide on
| a firmware (RockBox, iPodLinux, or both) and walk through the
| process of installation. Meanwhile, others looked on to watch
| the process and learn how it was done. RockBox was installed
| on the majority of the iPods with great success.
