Megan Iemma blog. Seven unis take a bite of Apple site. SEVEN universities in Australia and New Zealand will make a great leap into online lecturing today when American computer giant Apple launches a local iTunes U education site. Billing itself as the campus that never sleeps, in the business of "transforming learning on campus, off campus and where there's no campus at all", the website claims it is always in session to keep students motivated. Expand the curriculum and transcend the classroom, it encourages lecturers, while inviting students to "study on your own schedule, no matter how crazy", noting that "learning has finally caught up with your lifestyle". The participants that will offer their teaching and research free for download on iPods are Griffith University, Swinburne University of Technology, the Australian National University, the University of Melbourne, the University of NSW, the University of Western Australia and Otago University.
Mogopop. Live from DEMOfall: RingCube launches Mojopac - pure portable computing magic. Blogged Live from DEMOfall by Alex Iskold MojoPac got a round of applause here at DEMOfall for demonstrating portable technology that looked like pure magic. MojoPac allows Windows users to save their entire PC onto a USB or iPod. The users can then plug the portable storage into any other PC and that PC will have exactly the same software and settings their original PC had.
During the DEMO show, the company had 2 computers - one running a standard English version of Windows and another one that was running a localized Windows version in, I think, a flavor or Arabic or Hindu. ÄúWith MojoPac you can turn any portable storage device - an iPod, USB flash or hard drive, even a cell phone or digital camera memory cardÄì into your PC.
