You can't charge an ICONIA via its USB device port. You must use the wall wart, which means you have to have AC available if you want to charge it. You can't charge it from a portable DC source.
That's a HUGE problem for someone who travels a lot (including me, which is why I returned mine).
Then, make sure your traveling tablet has Wifi AND an LTE modem, USB ports for storage AND accessories, bluetooth just for kicks, and an SD card slot for easy copying of photos from your camera card.
A bonus is if it can charge itself via the USB device port (the Acer Iconia, for example, can't do this).
It doesn't really matter what the President thinks. One of the nice things about the USA is the separation of powers and its natural checks and balances against any one part of government having too much power.
This is what bothers me so much about the ONE candidate who would opposed such expansion of the TSA: Ron Paul. He seems to think he can just abolish agencies and not spend money that the Law says he must spend. He doesn't have the vaguest understanding about how our government works, and, though I am sure he can recite the Constitution verbatim from memory, he is oblivious to the 200 years of case law that is, regardless of how anyone may feel about it, the law of the land.
The fact is that many of the agencies Ron Paul says he would abolish, he CAN'T abolish, because the Law says they must exist, are funded, and that the executive branch must spend so much money on them. The President can't just change the law with the stroke of a pen, and for Paul to abolish an agency established by an Act of Congress and signed into Law, would be a violation of separation of powers, and of the Law.
No company charges you to receive a bill. What they charge you for are optional, expensive methods of receiving them, like printing them on paper and sending them to you in the mail.
Well, I think the "average" consumer has been well-trained that nothing is negotiable. I have met people who don't think you can argue the price of a new car. The fact remains, however, that *anyone* can ask for a refund on anything, the only thing that changes is the method by which that is done, and the difficulty in obtaining it. It's up to the consumer to decide whether to make that process part of their decision making process.
I don't know that you can really compare Android and Apple app sales. On the Android market, there's a free app for *everything*, so there's seldom if ever a need to spend money on an app. I've gotten free apps for absolutely everything I've needed. The ad-supported free-app model is working very well in the Android market. I have no experience with the refund process there because I've never had to buy anything.
That's probably why movie ticket sales are at a record low this year (although I have always been able to get refunded for bad movies - Avatar and Hangover 2 being two memorable examples - I left less than 30 minutes into each and had no problem getting refunded).
A reputable restaurant will NEVER charge you for food you didn't like (provided you didn't actually eat it). Obviously you can't eat the whole meal and THEN say you didn't like it an expect a refund, but if you take a bite and don't like it, no restaurantier in his right mind is going to make you pay for it, and will happily let you order something else.
In general, anyone who is unwilling to guarantee your satisfaction is not worth doing business with. If it's "take your money and run," then you should always run.
When you buy a $4 coffee, and it doesn't turn out the way you expect, there is a real, living, breathing, human being standing in front of you that can fix it.
When you buy a $500 tablet from Walmart and decide you don't like it, you can just go back to the store and return it, no questions asked.
When you spend $1 on an app, and it either isn't what you expect, isn't what is advertised, or doesn't work on your device, the process of getting your money back is a significantly higher hurdle.
On iTunes, you have to request a refund from your PC, and if the holy gods of Apple deem your claim valid, and that's a HUGE "if," then you might get a partial or whole refund, depending upon what they decide. You can't simply uninstall the app and say "I didn't like it and want a refund."
Buying a $1 app is like buying a car. It's agonizing because there is little or no customer satisfaction process once they have your money. It turns out that it doesn't matter what the price is.
With the creation of the Dept. of Education to legislate education from as far from the classroom as possible, traditional schooling died. It used to be that children were taught to think critically and be agile-minded problem-solvers. But, agile thinking leads to the discovery that some students are better at it than others.
That all changed with the Dept. of Ed's mission to make everyone the same and abolish the differences between individual students - institutionalized denial that some kids are just smarter than others.
Teaching switched from education to rote memorization of answers to be filled in on bubble-ridden answer sheets. No longer were kids to be expressive in their problem solving ability. Everyone was forced to solve a problem the same way, using the same tired methods, and come to the same answer, or else.
Even as young as 7th grade, I recall arriving at correct answers on math tests, only to be marked "incorrect" for using the "wrong" method to get there, despite being clever in my approach. My cleverness and mental agility were punished by the system, so I was in effect forced to "dumb myself down" to fit the mold of homogenized "education," which was really indoctrination.
By the time I was a senior in high school, ALL tests were "fill in the bubble." Instead of being taught the material, we were taught how to recognize and eliminate the two most obviously wrong answers, leaving a 50/50 shot to guess the correct answer. Figuring out which one was correct was a matter of applying some quick "tricks" to determine which of the remaining answers was "most likely" to be correct.
Instead of learning material, we were learning test-taking strategy.
Modern American education is a joke - an absolute joke.
Consensus is not Science. Consensus is a bunch of people with no answers and no data getting together to invent their own version of the "facts" in the absence of any supporting observations.
Apple has a huge war chest funded by idiot lemmings who think their little white headphones make them better people than the rest of us, and that Apple products are somehow technologically advanced.
I did it for one reason: less noise. My case already had a 120mm exhaust fan, so I simply added the radiator to the back of it, eliminating one fan from the case altogether. The fact that the radiator is the last thing exhaust air sees means very little CPU heat is being relieved inside the case.
My i960 is clocked at 4GHz and I see a water temp of about 40C at idle at 50C at full load, and the case is nearly silent with the exhaust fan on low (3-speed Antec fan).
He's probably got a comfy warm seat on Verizon's board waiting for him. There has to be a reason he single-handedly destroyed Netflix from the inside. Nobody is stupid enough to do everything he did just out of the blue.
The School District. That's who. In the US at least, School Districts enjoy the right of "in loco parentis," and can make decisions on behalf of your child as if they were the parent.
That's not that much to spend for the cost savings of having a consolidated location for the fleet. This will significantly decrease the cost of maintenance and upkeep, and if I had to guess, will pay for itself in a very short time.
I went through this same thing on a smaller scale last year when I was finally able to get a large hanger at one airport as opposed to three single hangars at two different airports. Now I only have one hangar bill, one mechanic, and keeping track of everything is much easier.

Don't they charge $5 for that?

It doesn't help that Military R&D is now a political process, not an engineering process. This is very well-evidenced by the F-22 and F-35 abortions.
The Nanny State doesn't have bounds and will strive to control as much as possible, right down to how many squares you use to wipe your ass.

I have to say that my work email has no benefit at all to my job.

Seriously, if you're that caught up in the past, you need therapy, not a reunion.

If the software is your product, then close it. If you're in business to sell a service, then open it.
Giving away your product is not going to make you or your investors very happy.

How can LightSquared disrupt 75% of connections that don't exist? GPS does not have connections.
So, I guess the lack of a computer make it completely impossible for a doctor to treat a patient.
How did Doctors do it before computers? I guess we just didn't have medical care back then...
