For any of you following the PA students story about schools giving there students computer notebooks only to have the students disable the security features , check out the latest,

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050826/ap_on_hi_te/students_laptops;_ylt=AmRJzWIwvwZewE_GL0vc3FOs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3cjE0b2MwBHNlYwM3Mzg-

I especially like this part "The charges allege the students breached security and downloaded forbidden programs, such as the iChat instant messenger. Some students also turned off a remote monitoring function that let administrators see what students were viewing on their screens — and used it to view administrators' own computer screens."

Sounds Bean'ish [Wink]

*laugh* I love how they call these kids "hackers" when in fact they were merely competent users. The bar is so, so low nowadays.

The worst thing is that it's fairly trivial to completely lock down an iBook, and the school's IT staff somehow failed to do it.
