Of course I understood human nature; I'm smarter than 99% of humanity and what I want is obviously what everyone else needs as well. 'Cause I is smart.
VMWare View, RDP Lite, and iSSH apps lets you handle a real machines through a tablet but then that's just remote computing. There's also an iPad app that lets you use your iPad as an additional screen of a desktop system. I'm not sure I've seen anything that will let you work with local files on a tablet but do the crunching on a desktop system.
What I'd like to see is a tablet dock that includes GPU's, external monitors, full range of peripherals, and storage, but is still based on the tablet OS; not just sync'ing. That'd be cool.
Unless a tablet can batch render to the same degree as my 128,000 node cluster I built in the basement, it's totally useless and of no use to anyone, anywhere, at anytime, EVER!
We're already migrating large applications to Citrix wrapped versions that can be run on any OS and this is allowing us to transition not just our Office users but our engineers and scientists to thin clients and remote session setups. Network speed and network storage are now fast enough to make this a go.
Pretty soon, you'll just use the hardware hypervisor to select the OS (windowing) system you like and all your apps will run in their own OS and no one will be the wiser.
Wait, wait, wait. Hooking things up to other things? That's totally mind blowing! I mean, I saw one of these smart phones for dum people and sure, I laughed but the idea that you could hook something in to change how you use a device, my god, that's geinus!
Same here; grandma got my daughter Barbies, I got her Nerf guns and Legos. On weekends, daughter breaks out the SW miniatures for gaming. And she just finished up FLL competition.
And find games that encourage this. D&D / D20 stuff is one thing my daughter's taken to and there's all sorts of opportunity to slip in basic arithmetic and geometry.

Not to mention that weird nose handle thing on the eyeglasses everyone will need.
Am still waiting for Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

I prefer the fictionary!

Unless you compare price of games to percentage of income. Flat wages suck!
Damn it! I spent $50 to see it theaters last year.
That's ok. I sold 70 odd shares of AAPL in mid 90's, once they finally broke $19. Oh yeah, I was living large that week.
How dare they do that, without checking with /. first?

Toast. Buttery, scrumy toast.
That's what the public wants!

Brainwashed hipsters are Apple's legions.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
That can't be true otherwise you wouldn't be able to pre-roll all the 1's out of your 20 sided before you start gaming.
You're stupid enough to eat at those restaurants?
Gosh!
Only a crazy 'toon would come up with that sorta' idea.
Yeah, my friends where married on Feb. 29th, 2000. Smart move as my buddy never has to remember their anniversary.
