It doesn't matter whether your society is composed of 20 people or 200 million people. If there isn't enough food to go around, then the strong will eat and the weak won't. End of story.
Way to completely miss the point.
Apple can run OS X virtualized on any hardware at all, because Apple owns OS X and can do whatever they want with it.
Steve Jobs contributed nothing to Apple's early success, merely being present with money when Woz developed the technology.
So you think Steve Jobs (and not Mike Markkula) was the bankroll for Apple?
The truth is that Steve Jobs made the Apple II a consumer product. Woz designed all of the electronics (except the power supply), but he would have sold a bare board if it had been up to him. Jobs was responsible for the all-in-one plastic case, keyboard, etc. that made the Apple II a product that could be successful at retail.
If you just jump to page 3 of the 17-page extravaganza, they talk about Safari's "Reader" feature, that strips out all of the ads and combines all of the click-through pages into one document.
It works great on TH's own article.
It really doesn't matter if the tablet is any good or Not. In fact it could be a total piece of crap and the millions of hipster Amazon disciples will empty their wallets for it.

What happens when the ipad dies or doesn't turn on, and the crew *need* to get at that info?
True...almost all flights those books sit there doing nothing, but the *one* time you need them, you *need* them *right the *#$&@* now, and having your ipad be doa or fritz on you would be *A Very Bad Thing*. I'm sure you can save 38 pounds somewhere else on the plane.
You know, I'd bet that United probably didn't think of that at all.
It's crazy how often anonymous commenters come up with really important considerations that the pros overlook.
The PC revolution (led by Microsoft - if you're old you might remember when they were the underdog) is over. MS was the first company to realize the benefit of giving users (some) control over their hardware. Remember that anyone?
Actually I don't.
I remember, before there ever was an MS-DOS or an IBM PC, that Apple shipped their computers with complete schematics and ROM listings which, I would say, amounts to "giving users control over their hardware".

If there is a scarcity of food, but nonetheless enough for everyone, then people will share. But if there really isn't enough, then the weak will die.

The US military withdrew completely from Korea in 1949.
Is there anything that the richest man in the world won't do to get even richer?
No, Carlos Slim will do anything for one more peso.
What does that have to do with this story anyway?

I'm typing this on a 2007 MacBook on which battery, memory and hard drive are easily replaced by the user.
I'm waiting for Americano...
Now I'm going to have to break out the Campari and Cinzano.
My evening is shot and it's all your fault!
Why would we want to develop alternatives?

This is awesome. It means we can continue driving hydrocarbon-fueled vehicles forever.
And it's carbon-neutral!
Yeah, any run of the mill computer store in China will sell you whatever size you need: 2 TB, 10 TB, 1000 TB: If you name it, they'll sell it to you.

Yes, because Netscape 4 was so totally awesome or something.... uhhhhh...
Funny to hear that coming from an Apple fanboy. Just hold your phone correctly, OK?
Ha. My LG works no matter how I hold it.

Even though many readers of slashdot are themselves globe shaped, they would rather spend their time trolling than looking at globe shaped models.
Scientists enable even more spam!
and trolling!
anthropomorphic?

There is no doubt that if cosmic rays are driving global warming, then human activity is driving cosmic rays.

most of us spend at least several hours a day moving around via a foot power.
You'd better watch what you say. You're posting to slashdot, you know.
So can iPads...

Yeah, it'll be "what's in those cars", "open your trunk", and "you better watch out cause I don't have to let you in" twice in one trip.
