Your academy is really interesting and wish you the best in your future endeavor.

Pat Bakerton commented that Alison.com is on par with Khan Academy and Lynda.com. All I can say is that Pat must be affiliated with Alison.com. I checked out that website (so Pat succeeded in getting some free advertising). It is CHEESY to the extreme. You are blasted with ads THROUGHOUT EACH COURSE. But, you may be pleased to know, the site GRACIOUSLY gives you many opportunities to PAY to have the incredibly annoying ads removed! You are presented the learning material in small (flash?) graphics and sometimes the graphic is too large for the space allocated so you can't even see a portion of it! Bottom line - Alison.com is AWFUL. Yes, it is better than nothing. But there are other much better alternatives (like Khan Academy and Lynda.com).

Will probably there be any kind of upgrade from the iphone4 to apple iphone 5 when it comes out?
I am looking into if an iphone4 user will be able to upgrade to the new iphone five when it comes out. I've got my own iPhone 4 since may of 2010 and i wouldn't like to spend $600 for the i phone five when it comes out this summer time.

I am the head teacher of Prime Language Services (http://www.PrimeLanguageServices.com), live online school for learning Russian language. I was considering recording free videos to post on youtube so that anybody willing to go to Sochi for Olympic Games could learn some Russian for free. Now I will definitely do this. Thanks for the inspiration!

Congrats to Sal Khan on the publicity he is receiving for free online courses. There are many other quality providers of interactive education out there such as ALISON.com (covers IT Desktop Skills, Maths, English Language, Health & Safety) with a million + learners and Lynda.com (IT Professional learning) which is equally popular. Khan, ALISON and Lynda can save the US Government tens of millions with their services. Government Finance office please take note.
