For an analogy, use deep ocean sailing. Historically, it has been difficult and dangerous. To the point where even avowed enemies would help each other out in times of distress (and sometimes during periods of simply sovereign state competition). One day the other guy may be helping tow your vessel off some rocks, the next week they are shooting at you. Humans and weird and complex. Politics always follows human endeavors. In some cases, it precedes it.
Except that antenna propogation is complex and doesn't follow where the antenna is 'pointed'. General Aviation pilots talk on cell phones all of the time, in fact the new headsets have cell phone / radio switches. Now, your typical GA plane isn't at 30000 feet, but the antennas do work above the horizon line.
One might wish to take a look at the political affiliation of the Oracle management.

TFA doesn't actually state the salt content, but the energy required for desalinization is proportional to the salt concentration. So brackish water is, energetically (and economically) a much better deal than regular ocean water.
Recall this water isn't really fresh - it has too much salt to drink or use in household supplies. It has to be desalinated - not to the extent of free ocean water, but it will require significant infrastructure ($$) to use.
My 80+ yo mom has an iPad I, works fine for her. Remember, she's not compiling anything or playing Minecraft. She's just reading some web sites, playing music and light email.
The thing has been amazing - no tech support calls in years. No more LogMeIn sessions. Unless the user has a specific reason to need a newer version (some specific software, like iOS 7), then the older ones work just fine. It's still sitting on the original iOS as I don't want to change anything at this point. The chance that she will run into a security issue is pretty minimal, even with the older OS / browser. She doesn't keep credit card info on it, browses only limited sites and only emails family and friends.
Casual observation of Bald Eagles shows that, especially compared to crows and ravens, they're about as bright as a domestic chicken. They run into (stationary) power lines with impressive frequency. They get run over by cars because they like road kill (they're scavengers mostly) and they're not that all attentive (to cars, they like screaming at each other) and they're big and slow.
They certainly are iconic - in the computer sense - you see them everywhere and you haven't the faintest idea what they mean or what they're doing.
Actually nobody cares anymore. No, you can't have a stuffed eagle or claws or anything that looks like most of the body. But having feathers quit being an issue a couple of decades ago since you can walk around and pick them up in a vast region from north of Vancouver, BC to Anchorage.
I wouldn't try selling one on Ebay - that might get you in trouble, but I've mailed a bunch to friends (including a couple of Native Americans) for years. Have a pile in a basket - somewhere.....

It makes no sense to play politics in space.
Sure it does. Politics is played on many levels.

You guys have nothing, I mean nothing, on people who do 'recreational' boating.
If you look at the etymology of the word 'boat' you'll find all sorts of silly things. It's simply an acronym:
Bring On Another Thousand.
$1400? I sneeze on your three digit gizmo.
If they would spell it correctly, maybe it would work better.
Best. Idea. Ever.

Dear Sir:
Please sit down right where you are. Yes, that's right.
Hands where we can see you.
We shall be with you in a moment.
Thank you for your cooperation.

You're hired.
Now, who are you going to replace? Samzenpus, Timothy, Soulskill, Commander Taco?
Maybe that's why you're broke. Maybe it isn't Obama's fault.
It exists to serve us.
You must be new here.

Better article (with sort of a picture of the phenomenon)
Both in the past and now, if you have a passenger you should let them navigate / be in charge of messing with the gps.
"Turn left here! Left!"
"No! Other left!"
Thanks, I'll navigate for myself.
I'm going to do my part. I promise never to send a manuscript to Nature or Science.
What about you?
You could just work on installing a spell checker. That might keep you off the streets for a while....
Don't do anything you would regret for the rest of your life.

No, I guess not.

Perhaps for you the single button is a issue. For millions of iPad users, it seems to be working out OK.
You need to find happier friends.
