You should try Finger Term in the N9, transparent keyboard, so you can type over the screen, the main problem is that your fingers aren't transparent. The N900/N950 hardware keyboards are better anyway, but the overall experiencie of N9 could worth the difference.
Some soft keyboards have transparency, so can take most of the screen while you keep seeing what is below. And some have hard keyboards, some of them pretty good, or can use a bluetooth keyboard. The N900 is more a pocket computer than a cellphone, but could do work for what is needed (and was script friendly too)
If somehow, somewhat, the unthinkable happens and innocent civilians get badly harmed, they can always put the blame on software bugs, and avoid all the blame the troops had got so far for their "misbehavings". AND will get another excuse for getting funds for cyberwar, you know, we got hacked so that drone hit the wrong place, better be safe and strip privacy to most internet users.
you don't understand the current important cyberthreats, and we don't care about them neither, but lets paint an improbable/impractical scenario with big explosions and use that excuse steal even more privacy/control from all of you to benefit our sponsors.
If well those companies could deserve some recognition or retribution for their effort and investment, they should not own that knowledge, and/or somewhat forbid or put obstacles (including economic ones) to others to keep building from that point. Some patents in medicine, or drugs could be actually killing people for not having available those products because their patent enforcement, and i don't see any patent holder going to jail for mass murder.
Internet changed the rules, and instead of embracing and adapting to the change, they are just denying that it happened. And that is killing their future, they are forcing people (specially their would-be consumers, the ones that are willing to pay) to watch for alternatives, and adopting that into the global culture.
And trying to push that state of denial, lobbying for laws to force it and trying to export them everywhere, could not only make them fall, but entire governments, or define a new kind of slavery, one for this century, if they manage to be successful in that push.
I would call it the blue butterfly effect, for PKDick's The lethal factor story
Knowing the future and acting, without knowing the effect of that action could get strange results.
Coming from Microsoft, Ballmer could kill someone in front of a lot of public (probably throwing a chair on his head), and could try to get free claiming that it was a software bug. But acknowledging that 3 years late is malice, not stupidity.
If they used advanced enough social engineering techniques could be plain ascii txt files with an instruction to i.e. base64 decode them and execute it for a nice surprise. The main executable part in social engineering attacks is the people.
How that is different from having access to an (enhanced) library? or an encyclopedia? Having "offline" storage for knowledge has been with us since the stone age, and probably made civilization possible. In fact, your very concience could be a consequence of mankind having that kind of enhancement. Internet (and google, but could had been any search engine or way to pick from that amount the information the one that you want) improved things, but is just another stage of a very long process, and not the last one.
Focusing the "which one is better" on how you query both from a few programming language is like comparing computers by the keyboards attached to them. For small enough workloads (i.e. text processing) maybe would matter how comforable is the keyboard used, but for heavy loads what weights is the engine behind, and how well is adapted to the thing it have to process.
Suppose that some arab country starts accusing and claiming extraditions of women all around the world because them commited adultery. Or that Sweden do the same with all men all around the world that had sex with a sleeping woman. Or a country with a corrupt government, where shady men or private companies pushes laws for criminalize people that drinks coke or read certain books, that exports that laws to all the world and claims extradition for people breaking that laws elsewhere.
That is what is doing USA, and that is what other governments are letting them to do while signing "cooperating treaties". I suppose that yes, the enemy is us, or at least USA and the people in your government that signed that kind of treaty.
There isnt such thing as "ugly" applied to a thing. Is something relative to the observer, by their own criteria, or of some of the cultures he belongs, from a small circle to the whole world, and, to make things worse, at certain point of the history. Was the wikipedia ugly 10 years ago for the same people? Will be in 10 years?
I prefer to priorize things on more on functionality or usefulness than in some vague and particular aesthetical view.
How many today would like to see how that tasty dessert they just took turns into poo? Informative, interesting, amazing, maybe, but for a lot would be qualified as gross.

When we are talking about lawyers, don't attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice

In the other side of the spectrum, tablets are getting smaller. So next article would be "Don't undersize my tablet"?
Add smoke to panicked people carrying guns and that would had made a big difference,
religions all around the world today had a flock of new believers

The box says "Windows 7 or better", so it should run in Ubuntu and MacOSX
As opposed as i.e. today? Anyway, you should read Asimov's The End of Eternity too, where that idea is discussed.

Maybe some day Google will tell us how to reverse entropy

Being able to control our biological clocks looks like having the potential to change our entire lives, even for non diabetic people.

I would bet for idiocracy, but as there are surely lawyers involved, reverse Hanlon's razor should apply
Tought that the biggest exports of Iceland were this ones. But it depends a lot of the month of the year.
