It has superb ergonomics for certain things--mostly relating to web browsing. I don't need a laptop. I have a desktop, with two screens. It's getting old, but I'm not sure that I'll replace it with a laptop.
All of those devices can be used to produce data. And all of them are variously portable. A librarian, reading the shelves doesn't take a hand truck and haul a bookcase to her desk. No, she has a little device. which she can scan the books, in situ, in order to determine if books are out of order, or missing.
If I'm trying to look at and analyse a large map or drawing unfolded on my table, it's easiest to record data on a device that it's in my hands when I move about my workspace, Similarly, a calculator can be used to make calculations in situ.
I don'nt read books on a computer. I read them in bed, or in a easy chair. A kindle or an ipad has nearly the same form factor.
And so on, and so forth. An ipad has got a better form factor for a lot of little things, that add up. And one big thing-- it's great for browsing the web from anywhere.
I think you're confusing playing Devil's Advocate, which can be a useful intellectual exercise, or merely fun,with Reductio ad absurdam, a proof technique, and constructing straw men, an informal fallacy.
The Vatican no longer requires the services of the devil's advocate, whose role was to argue that the beatified should not be canonized.. Apparently, the more saints, the better.
First off, just what is the law? Various guides - including an official release from the Ministry of Justice - make it clear that pictures will fall foul of the new law if four components are present. The pic must be pornographic, or produced for sexual purposes. It must be realistic. It must contain certain specific imagery, including necrophilia, bestiality, activity depicting serious harm to breast, anus or genitals or life-threatening activity. Finally, it must be grossly offensive, as determined either by a jury or magistrate.
All those components must be there. Poster your walls with the most grotesque, the most blood-spattered out-takes from Saw or Hostel and unless someone can prove you actually get off on them, no prosecution could follow. That, of course, highlights one of the first of many question marks hovering over this legislation: is "produced for sexual purposes" defined relative to the motives of the originator of an image, or the motives of the person who downloads it to their hard-drive? Lawyers suspect the latter: so in fact, the out-takes in question might or might not fall foul of the law depending on your personal sexual tastes.
Thirty year bonds with astonishingly low interest rates?
The trick, of course, is to make sure that revenues exceed non debt related expenditures by at least 200 billion per year for thirty years. Then POOF. It's gone.
The reference article is based on the oil and gas industry as a whole being the number 2 CO2 contributer. The study didn't look into the contributions of fracking operations seperately. The title of this article is misleading.
It's a census of industrial sites. If you want to, you could figure out which sites were engaged in hydraulic fracturing, and come up with a pretty good idea of fracking's contributions.
That's why it doesn't include cars-- too expensive to survey hundreds of millions of "mobile" emissions sources.
I have the camera connection kit for the ipad. It's not as useful as it might seem.
I'm a clumsy oaf, so my ipad tends to live in one of those griffin survivor cases (which really are tough, but the screen is less than lovely). As a result, the port is blocked, since griffin, in their less than infinite wisdom, based the 30 pin opening on the charger cable, Now, I could get one of those 30 pin extension cables, but every once in a while someone will remind you, in a negative review, that only the charging pins work.
Second,I use CHDK, which means that my SDCard is partitioned into two, one for the firmware, and the other for my photos. The ipad's photo app, iirc, has trouble reading that second partition. So did my Mum's windows 7 laptop. Ah, vacations. My imac at home did just fine.
Third, only a few devices can be read by the 30pin to USB converter. It doesn't actually implement the entire usb spec. Keyboards can be used. Cameras can be used. But hard drives are right out-- besides, the imac has no equivalent to a finder. So something like an ethernet adaptor would be really iffy.
Seagate has a hard drive for the ipad, but it's really just an portable hard drive with a wifi adaptor and a webserver. Apparently, the way it works is that you use safari to connect to the hard drive, and play the media that way.
Kluges on top of kluges. Sometimes, when you use an ipad, the walls are enshrouded in fog. Other days, you can see them quite clearly.

The US is 80 percent urban, and 20 percent rural.
it worked for John Galt. Of course, the author was under no obligation to be realistic.
We have the electoral college because we live in a federated representational republic, not a democracy
You seem to think that this is a good thing.
Wyoming has a population of 576 thousand. California has a population of 38 million.
It should take 65 wyomings to out vote one California. Instead, it takes nineteen.
Fine. Raise taxes.
"Content Creation" sounds like something Orwell would have disapproved of.
There you go. Apple tried and failed.

You can use a keyboard with a ipad, but the combination may negate some of the ipad's form factor.
Do you ever use a calculator? A notepad? A camera? A barcode scanner? A book?
Or do you always have a notebook in your lap?

Of course, many antipornography laws accomplish the same thing.

An englishman was recently convicted of possessing extreme pornography, but the BBC article does not go into the details-- and while The Sun has also covered the story, they have merely tarted up the details, reconfirming their utter worthlessness,.

How does the iPad tell the difference between a camera that implements USB mass storage and a hard drive that implements USB mass storage?
Usually hard drives don't adhere to the DCF standard
in fact the USB implementation is so constrained that articles and howtos like this have been written. Sad, really.
