Hungary Uses iPad To Draft New Constitution

Posted by samzenpus on from the there's-an-app-for-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Hungary is drafting its new constitution on, believe it or not, an iPad. Jozsef Szajer, a Hungarian politician and member of the European Parliament, wrote an enthusiastic blog post last week detailing how he's using Apple's tablet device to flesh out Hungary's new constitution, the country's first since 1949. Not only is Szajer using the iPad to churn out new constitutional drafts, but he's also using it to review new draft proposals. Apparently all aspects of the new Hungarian constitution are being vetted via the iPad in one form or another."

    They have mostly been living without one since the overthrow of communism there in '89. I just wonder what took them so long.

    Yeah ... everyone's bored to death over these iCheerleading news stories that are simply variations of X [did something fairly normal] ON AN iPAD!

    The only one that'd vaguely raise any interest from me now would be the one that goes:

    Hey guys! Look! I just took a dump! ON AN iPAD!

    The real news will be on June 30th when Apple wants a 30% cut of Hungary's GDP.

    Yeah, we're all really sick of it, that's why damn near all of the Apple stories in the last few days only have >300 comments. You can almost hear the crickets chirping.
