Spring Semester just started. I expected more.

350k free "Life on Earth" downloads for curiosity's sake is meaningless.

---" From its earliest days, Apple has had special interests in education"---

Sounds like marketing gibberish to me. I don't remember any time in the last 30 years of Apple's existence that they were passionate about education. It seems to me that they are once again, preying on the large percentage of age groups that have made them rich. What better way to expand on the 70% profit margin than to hit the generation that has been thinking with their lower extremities when purchasing Apple products?

If thinking with my lower extremities makes me enough money to buy iPads and iBooks as an afterthought, then count me in.
