That a restaurant site or appliances manufacturer site (wolf stoves for instance) choose to implement and HIDE all of their content behind a flash binary is the bigger problem.

As for:hover, a well designed menu system which may use hover will also use click to either display the sub menu or take you to the landing page of that menu item. Many are poorly designed.
Not embarrassing for me at all. The algorithm for Google Suggest is not completely known but it does not appear to be based at all on personal search history. I did this search on a public, non-cookie, non google account machine and the same results came up.
Thoughts are the suggest algorithm are based largely on current trending topics.
I believe.... that it's true there is a serious effort to not criticize Islam.
Like a few of the commenters don't you know this only reflects you, your thoughts, and what you search!? I don't believe this however since my search was done on a public computer with no history and no Google accounts signed in... I get the same results on many computers so unless Google has secretly installed sense-aware keyboards on every computer I might come across this list a result not of my own search history but of something else entirely.
You should realize that Google suggestions are customized to each user. It's very likely that you are logged in or has cookies stored in your browser. Now, tell us, why do you think those were the suggestions you got?:)
Nice try... it's the first thing a colleague said when I pinged him with this tidbit.
I think Mark Pilgrim takes it one too far but he is also correct.
Apple no more kills tinkering than do they sacrifice small children upon every product launch to insure success.
Yet, although I will use an iPad in the near future, I would rather have seen a middle road whereby there is a seamless experience like the iPhone/iPod but is a bit more open.
Then again, OS X is a great choice to learn ins and outs of an OS. Or at least you can do a helluva lot of tinkering since it ships with a decent LAMP stack, python, ruby, perl, etc...

Once I can run Flash, Firebug, FlashBlock... oh wait!
Face it -- 90% of Flash usage is video (not necessary) and conceited designs (not needed) both of which can be done without Flash.
The other 10% - games - it is great at that but native platforms are stronger. An iPhone game takes advantage of the iron, Flash could not.
Sticky point eh?
That so many lay full blame at his feet is a particularly short attention span problem. He INHERITED two wars. He inherited a shitty tax policy. Maybe he didn't inherit some of the home bubble crisis, what about the wall street fiasco?
I'm not sure he voted for the Bush tax cuts on the top n%.
Slashdot Mirror
Linking to Engadget is barely allowed at /.
Linking to Engadget stories with lame ass videos that don't even show the product is punishable by ruler slaps!
I recommend getting out into the Big Blue Room and doing something real, tangible, and unique!
I'm certain I can provide a steady stream of methane to this device.
A. Flash is still NOT a language
B. Reference to your claim that Adobe Flash is used anywhere in the Microsoft Surface product?
See how easy this is without the flame-baiting language?
A. Flash is not a language
B. I seriously doubt that Microsoft has based their entire multi-touch platform application development on an Adobe product.
"... other technologies"
Yeah, like plain text and images marked up in html and styled with CSS?????
That's a technology I wish all those flash sites would implement.
Not as new as you!
Great point.
Most of the so called content that iPhone users are missing out on are Flash based games. Consider those in a touch environment, oy vey.
And w/re to those web sites which choose to present core content behind a Flash binary instead of good old open, plain text: http://www.flickr.com/groups/annoying-flash/
All these sites can bugger off.
Surely a "new" poster is one with 7 digits?
I'm pretty sure I see why you aren't a product manager at a multi billion dollar company.
Nice job of complicating an easy UI.
Exactly.

I'd still be using my Newton if I thought AA batteries were the best way to go.
I know this is /. but come on guys ... you fell for click bait.
> Can you save and transfer documents to the iPad?
Probably so
> Does the iPad support Microsoft Exchange email?
Why wouldn't it? All other things Apple ships running a version of OS X supports Exchange.
> Does the iPad support VPN and configuration management?
Uhm let's see, does the iPhone? Check. Does OS X? Check.
> Can you use media services other than iTunes on the iPad?
Amazon? Check. Hulu will likely have an app. Netflix maybe...
YouTube is there.
> Can the iPad be used for videoconferencing?
Apparently not with v1 of the hardware.
> Will the iPad's internal storage be upgradable?
Nope.
> Will the iPad allow multiple apps to run simultaneously?
Built in stuff ... you can run the iPod app while doing anything else.
> Will Apple allow the use of Flash on the iPad?
Why?

Why is such a troll article posted in the first place?

are you aware that searching in a blank browser not on any computer i've ever touched produced these results? just saying.
relax francis ... it was a joke.

I only use my Newton MessagePad 2000 for note taking man! Are you nuts?!
OK really? graph paper is my preference. I do own a few Newtons and they were great note takers.
Try this in your Google Suggest enabled search field (Safari, Firefox, Google home page): ...
Just type the word "Why"
First suggested results:
Why do men have nipples
Why is the sky blue
Why is my poop green
Why are black people so loud
Recently bumped off the top list of suggested search results: "Why does my vag smell"
What would we do with out such an enormous cultural asset such as Google?

If you are only buying a Mini why not put the real cheapskate in your tool belt and just do a Hackintosh. Sakes man.
Very low entry price.
