The script for that part was basically taken word-for-word from Mark Zuckerberg's real livejournal page.
The only major change they made was at the beginning of the sequence when he is typing mean things about a girl. <!-- He actually only said one unkind thing, and it was inside an HTML comment -->
The iPad has a higher quality screen than any netbook. (And any notebook under $3500)
All MacBooks have a TN screen.
The iPad, iPhone, iMac and Cinema Display all use IPS.
Khan actually agrees with you. He encourages using the information gathered by the exercises to pair those who are doing well on a concept with those who are struggling. This tutoring lets everyone build character and strengthen knowledge, not just the instructor. If any students are still struggling, the instructor can focus their instruction to just those students and just those topics. They have more time to answer questions because they aren't spending a majority of their time giving passive lectures.
Khan isn't trying to get rid of classrooms, he's trying to improve how they function.
I'm not sure how well this will translate into subjects not related to math, though.
My 8800 went bad. So did the cards of 3 people I know from work.
All 4 of them were fixed by throwing them in an oven for 8 minutes at 385F. More info here:

I don't know if any of the cards were under warranty, that may have been a better method.
If you go to a new, spiffy, digital theater and watch a movie like Avatar, it is probably a 4k projector (though some places with smaller screens use 2k instead, which is just a bit higher than 1080p).
I believe most digital theater screens use 2K projectors... more than 90%, based on how many 4k screens are listed on Sony's 4k page . Even IMAX digital just uses two 2k projectors, each projecting the whole image. I'm not sure why.
I just saw that Sony has a system to project two 2k images simultaneously from a 4k projector for 3D movies. I'd like to see a movie on that. I think non-synchronous frames for the left and right eye is what bothers me most about the 3D movies I've seen.
