One major and long-standing problem Calif.). with the Roku players is that you can't search them Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information easily. There's no search box in the Roku channel Services. store nor on the Roku's 2 home page, so you may find yourself scrolling through dozens of channels to find the one you want. The devices also don't offer any way to search across different channels for a particular movie or TV show. Instead, you have to search within particular channels for videos, hoping that you picked the right channel to search. Unlike the Apple TV or some other digital adapters, the Roku players don't easily connect to computers or other devices on your network, so you generally can't stream movies or music to the players from such devices. So the new Roku 2 players aren't perfect. But if you're interested in getting Internet content on to your TV, they're a darn good choice. --- ROKU 2 DIGITAL MEDIA PLAYERS -Likes: Offer broad range of content; easy to use; inexpensive; quiet; energy-efficient; can play games 2 / 3 APA citation: A look at Roku's new line of digital media players (2011, August 11) retrieved 1 October 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2011-08-roku-line-digital-media-players.html This document is subject to copyright.

  • Private Enterprise in American Education
    Private Enterprise in American Education A MERICAN E NTERPRISE I NSTITUTE Special Report 7 Focus on For-Profits in K–12 Education Misses the Real Divide Alex Hernandez | November 2012 Special Report 7 Private Enterprise in American Education Foreword For decades, for-profit educational provision has been merely tolerated, often grudgingly. In the world of charter schooling, for-profit providers are lambasted and sometimes prohibited. In higher education, for- profit institutions have grown rapidly, enrolling millions of nontraditional students and earning enmity, suspicion, and now investigative and regulatory actions from the federal government. When it comes to student lending, teacher quality, and school turnarounds, there is a profound preference for nonprofit or public alternatives. All of this is so familiar as to be unremarkable. The problem is that K–12 and higher education are desperately in need of the innovative thinking and nimble adaptation that for-profits can provide in a landscape characterized by healthy markets and well-designed incentives. As critics have noted, for-profits do indeed have incentives to cut corners, aggres- sively pursue customers, and seek profits. But these traits are the flip side of valuable characteristics: the inclination to grow rapidly, readily tap capital and talent, maximize cost effectiveness, and accommodate customer needs. Alongside nonprofit and public providers, for-profits have a crucial role to play in meeting America’s 21st-century educational challenges cost-effectively and at scale. However, we rarely address for-profit provision in this fashion. Most statutory and regulatory discus- sion focuses on how to rein in for-profit providers, largely ignoring what it would take to harness the potential of such providers while establishing the incentives and accountability measures to ensure a level, dynamic, and performance-oriented playing field.
