Good for Apple for recognizing Israeli brain power. The rest of the world enjoys bashing on us but Apple knows quality when it sees it
As a former Israeli (still have the passport, but I don't live there) don't be so excited. Apple do what fits best for its interest; they don't really care for Israel as a country.Good for Apple for recognizing Israeli brain power.

You need to say thank you to your professor for letting you use these calculators in the first place. In my college you couldn't (and I believe still can't) use anything but a basic scientific calculator.How about giving TI some competition in the graphing calculator industry? They have a true monopoly there... It's easy to see it when people are buying 90s hardware at 90s hardware prices with 80s processors/screens in 2012.

Same. The stupid TI-84 really screwed me up in chemistry class a few times, and it was a total ripoff.
This should be good though.. sending TI engineers to Israel. Though, I am for ARM to be used in the Mac laptops.. desktops? I would prefer a nice haswell or Power8 chip(Power series).

TI's calculators are perfectly fine. Sure, they should add more RAM and ROM and lower the price but beyond that, they're perfect. People like to complain about the screen or its lack of wifi for some reason, but at the end of the day, it's meant to be used in a classroom. The low res black and white screen gives it its immense battery life and the lack of wifi is good because students could use it to cheat.
If they were so smart they might have a better understanding of national borders.
Wow. . . It took page two before the anti-semitic comments started.
Programmers in Israel are super smart....
That statement isn't antisemitic, it's critique against actions by the state of Israel. You are allowed to do that, just like you are allowed to criticize the United States or Sweden for stuff they make that you don't agree with. That doesn't mean that you are saying anything about the people, their religion society or anything else. If one can't criticize politics and actions, what can you criticize?Wow. . .

True, take Stuxnet for an example.
Sorry, anti-semitic? Care to elaborate? Or are you merely trying to prove Godwin's Law in some swoop of irony.

It is quite antisemitic because when a terrorist blows up a school bus full of jewish children the UN barely slaps them on the wrist. When we defend ourselves by knocking out terrorist capabilities that they HIDE in civilian areas its a friggin warm crime. Complete double standard. Amos Oz said it best, the Europeans didn't want the Jews in Europe, and now that we are back in the Middle East they don't want us there either. Apparently they don't want us Jews anywhere.
Anyone remember TI creating the 99/4A? I am surprised all of you remember TI for their calculators. I have still my 99/4a system with PEB and all. Not bad for 30 year old computer equipment which is built like TANKS!

"Israel uses sophisticated attack jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps, schools, apartment blocks, mosques, and slums to attack a population that has no air force, no air defense, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units, no mechanized armor, no command in control, no army and calls it a war. It is not a war, it is murder.
When Israelis in the occupied territories now claim that they have to defend themselves, they are defending themselves in the sense that any military occupier has to defend itself against the population they are crushing. You cant defend yourself when youre militarily occupying someone elses land. Thats not defense. Call it what you like, its not defense."

Go ahead, call him anti-semetic. I double dare you.
