02 50 iPads for 50 Children with Special Needs
If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should
teach the way they learn... In January 2011, Gary James, the
father of 6 children, 2 with Special Needs, decided to set
up a web-site to help other parents like him who were
interested in using the Apple iPad as an educational and
development tool for children with special needs.

05 Operation Ghost Click
Six Estonian nationals have been arrested and charged
with running a sophisticated Internet fraud ring that
infected millions of computers worldwide with a virus and
enabled the thieves to manipulate the multi-billion-dollar
Internet advertising industry. Users of infected machines
were unaware that their computers had been compromised -- or
that the malicious software rendered their machines
vulnerable to a host of other viruses.

07 Apple's 25% Solution
An article with this title appears on the Seeking Alpha
website. The site appears to be aimed at investors. In the
first paragraph the article says, 'The nearly 25% of
recognized revenue that flowed to the net income line in FY
2011 is what I call 'Apple's 25% solution.' It's Apple's
formula for consistent earnings growth and management's
solution to the complex questions that surround strategic
product decisions.
