It allows concurrent state. You want concurrent execution, the next step up from that. Concurrent state is still a form of multiple tasks existing at once, better than having to quit one program to use another.
I understand Apple's goal to be to find what features are useful to most people, rather than throwing everything in. So it makes sense that they are seeing how this more limited form of multi-tasking does.
If you're on someone else's machine, you can't trust anything it shows you anyway. Besides, you should only be using company computers for company business.

I don't need my phone to do anything other than let me hear the other party, and let them hear me. That's enough multitasking.
And computers' avoidance of error is their biggest strength, in complement to us. What use would machines which behaved like we did be? (well, I guess that's why we have children, to do our work once we get too old)
And companies aim to be stable over the long run, not dependent on any particular employee's special skills. When I write a program, I try to make it as portable as possible, not depending on any special features unless they give a big benefit and outweigh the dependency and inflexibility involved. Maybe some of this applies to running a company.
And never mind the energy spent boiling them. Disposable/recyclable batteries are dumn when rechargeables exist. Solar panel + rechargeable battery = much better solution.

And yes, I failed with the subject line. I hang my head in shame. I should have used something actually informative, like "Maybe poor performance caused PC purchase", rather than some kind of cliffhanger crap like I did. Sorry everyone.
So, they found a correlation between the two? Perhaps the decision to buy a computer was caused by poor academic performance, rather than vice-versa. Unless the decision to buy a computer was made without connection to a particular situation, they don't know which way causation ran.
Reminds me of how some C++ programmers just have to be able to write foo.func() rather than func(foo), even in cases when the latter approach yields more flexibility. I've heard them described aptly: syntax fetishists. Sounds like the same issue someone has with "google foo" over "google-foo".
And ultimately, yet another failed attempt at humor. on my part. At least I've been canceling out of many after I've typed them, or else you'd have to put up with even more not-funny "jokes".
The problem is that I and others don't approve of it. How dare a person take his life into his own hands? You're probably one of those people who think people should be able to choose their own diet. Where will it end?
And rotating something large and heavy with a motor, moreso while simultaneously manipulating its surface with several dozen actuators, is a huge source of vibrations.
Not really; their prototype is only 5 cm across. Not huge.
A strange thing happened shortly after this equipment was assembled and tested. I noticed that whenever I got angry, my skin would turn green and I would tear off my clothes.

Huh? I thought AOL made plastic furniture.
Pedantic: you do have a right to complain, just as you have a right to complain that the sun rises each day or the sky is blue.

Most cars stay on the ground, so it's all good.

No way, it has to be these cameras that lowered crime. There's no other possible explanation.
Tell me about it. Just last week I tweeted an order to vaporize planet Vulkar, but the idiots vaporized Vultar.

CSR = Company Service Representative. See, just a simple misunderstanding.

What exactly about his not the only one?
Well, at least you agree that The Great Flood happened, and are just quibbling over whether these animals died in The Flood.

Wouldn't losing a loss be a good thing?
I meant when they use the word "voluntary". Not "please do this", but "We are asking you to voluntarily do such-and-such."
Not really; their prototype is only 5 cm across. Not huge.
Which part did you find strange?
Maybe they meant MAH OS, the OS preferred by lolcats everywhere.
