1) this is not just "an antivirus". VirusTotal is a website where you go and upload a suspicious file, and they scan it. Also, this says nothing about the file being "public searchable", it says it's made available for security industry pro

You still need a rooted version to access the Android app store (and probably always will since they won't want people buying this to install other eReader apps). It's a shame they need a whole new app store mainly to prevent access to a ha

This is a good way of teaching in general - presenting a problem, having students work at it (alone or in groups), then everyone discussing solutions. This is class time well spent, much more effective than lectures. Students being becoming
