Amen SW! There's a reason I don't mind mowing grass. The smell of a fresh cut lawn is just amazing. Plants trees and flowers all around my house. Wouldn't trade it for life in the big city for.0274% of all the world's money.
CEO's think Larry at Jiffy Lube is just a qualified to work on cars as Scott the trained mechanic. Scott is just too focused on getting the car run right and stay running. Larry knows how to sell $10 air filters for $25!!
My thought would be that you could still get a-la-carte bundles. 5 channels of your choice for 10 bucks or 10 channels for 15. How many people out there with cable/satelitte really watch the 500 different channels?
"The hassle of manually discover and correct mistakes when your word processor can do all of that work for him and let him focus on the actual content of his report."
How many times have you had to go back and correct what the word processor did not correct? Attention to detail, that's one of the many problems with people today... "Someone/Something else will do it for me." If you don't have the skills to do it for yourself, don't expect someone/something else to do it for you. Calculators in school piss me off too. Too many people these days can't even do simple math without having to use a calculator. Sometimes being "more efficient" turns in to being more lazy. If you let someone/something else do all of your brain's work then your brain has nothing to do, nothing to exercise itself. Like muscles it will get soft and weak.
Now get off my lawn with your calculators and word processors.
See, there's the problem with these iPads.. Elderly mothers should be making cookies and knitting scarves, sweaters and hats that we will never wear! Not playing Angry Pidgeons or working on eCrochet or iCrossStitch!!

Don't forget laser pointers...
Well, the temporary option for that would be a 16Gb usb flash drive.

I can make an antenna for about 5 bucks that beats almost anything they put out for sale.

This has always been the truth.
Damn you! I was going to say that!!

Slashdot is full of people that think they are Sheldon Cooper but lack the doctorate and intelligence but still maintain his social awkwardness.
Is this was actually a Big Mac Attack?
Censorship is telling a man that he can't eat a steak because a baby can't chew it.
