If change is good, then what about the ability to change a battery, or a software configuration? If I weary of SuSE 11.4, I can change distros. How does one do this on an iPad?
I dislike such appliances not because they represent change, but because they prevent it.
We all know that Macbook, iPhone, iPad and a Starbucks Grande-size Latte are the holy trinity in being "cool;" the PC is not a good substitute for this.
Not quite. Yes, if it kills us, then it outlives us; nevertheless, it could outlive us just by lasting 100 years and laughing at us as we die of old age.
It has enough battery life to take to work, or to a wifi cafe. I live in a city, so I don't have to worry that much about an AC outlet. WTF good to me is a tablet that makes it difficult to type?
And how is interacting directly with a tablet more appealing than using a mouse and keyboard? I'm not writing War and Peace, but I do type stuff. How is review and approval of documents easier on a tablet? How is corresponce review and creation easier on a tablet? What kinds of media are easier to deal with on a tablet?

I meant it in the sense of dying by intentionally poisoning oneself.
But is Microsoft's butt as firm as Ken's?
Do we really need to see Microsoft with its pants off?
The author isn't wrong. The other thirteen stores aren't in University Village.
Just because Apple named a PDA after him doesn't mean you have to ignore him.
Wouldn't that be a Socratic death?
Would people expect a game console to be configurable?

Who's we? I don't consider them "cool".
Well, it did nothing for the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union.
Would you consider the lack of a hierarchical structure to be helpful for the open-source movement?
Wouldn't a ludite be someone who takes Quaaludes? That might apply.
As for 3), one can also ask for which printer the Word document was formatted. It appears that MS Word is not device independent.
But how does it scale?

Paleease! Java is going to be around as long as C++. It will kill us all.

Then you would have 76,000 to 130,000 articles.
Roughly 35%. But if I use it that much, I have an outlet.
There have been about 38,000,000 comments. At 100 comments per article (sheer guess), that would be 380,000 articles.
My laptop goes from sleep mode to on in a few seconds, and it uses only ~3% of its power in an hour of sleep.
I can support my laptop with my right arm from the front right to left back corners and type with my left hand. It is somewhat awkward, but doable.
It's when two operating systems fight to the death for the privilege of running on a piece of hardware.
But could a million monkeys ever get a first post?
