Apple reportedly making changes to iPad in Education program to ease app distribution
It looks like Apple is set to make some changes concerning how schools manage the deployment of iPads for the upcoming school year.
The reported changes would make it easier for schools to manage installing apps and restrict purchases made by students on their devices.
According to an email obtained by MacRumors, Apple is implementing changes that would eliminate the need for each device to be tied to an Apple ID in order to install apps, easing the process of setting up devices before distribution to students. From the email:
To simplify large deployments, including one-to-one and shared use, we want to make app distribution even easier. Today, Apple IDs are required in order to deliver apps and books to students. We are working to change this in the fall by allowing schools to assign and distribute apps to a device without an Apple ID. As currently planned, this will greatly reduce the number of steps needed to setup a device. This change should eliminate the need to create generic Apple IDs solely for the purposes of getting content onto iPad. Schools will also have the option to prevent students from making personal purchases without approval.
According to MacRumors, other changes to the program include giving school administrators the ability to create Apple IDs for students in order to access iCloud, as well as reset student passwords.

Control your Philips Hue Lights with Huetro 2.0 now for Windows and Windows Phone
Philips Hue Lights (MeetHue.com) are certainly not cheap, but they are very awesome. The system allows you replace your current lights with a LED bulb that will supposedly last 10 to 20 years. Even more exciting, the Hues color bulbs can change to nearly any color in the spectrum through a wireless connection. As a result, you can make your living room glow different colors as accent lighting or make your office look like a military installation with red lights.
I have around twelve Philips Hue Lights set up in my place, including the newer LED strip lights and Hue Tap, which acts like a wall switch. There is only one problem, and that is Philips does not make an app for its Hue Lights for Windows Phone.
Today, Huetro for Windows Phone has hit 2.0 with an all new redesign. Additionally, it is now a universal app with the Windows 8.1 counterpart now available as a public beta!
