This holds no interest for those building it themselves. Otherwise, he would have downloaded the pre-built package in the first place.
That's not at all what the study showed/claimed/whatever. People were MORE LIKELY to tell the truth with the magnetic treatment. That's a far cry from force.
The fact that you call a keyboard a benefit means that you're missing the point of a tablet.
So you need an adapter either way. Why again is this a fault of the iPad?
I wonder, were they avoiding text because text were not relevant, or because it was too cumbersome on the pad?
Try it before assuming that text is cumbersome. It's not.
Very practical. When a table is taken, you press a button, get a fresh sheet of wine menu, and puts it on the table when you greet/seat people together with the welcome snacks. Much better than having to log around a 'pad, and you can leave the paper with the customer without fear of someone stealing the menu, if they want to peruse the list a bit. I know what I would pick
Wow, what a waste of paper & ink. Besides, that would really alienate a vocal minority. I do see the theft argument though, I've had those thoughts myself. I wonder how they manage that. I'd assume that there's some anti-theft device, like the alarms at supermarkets.
'pads, on the other hand, just seems like a notepad with a touchscreen instead of a keyboard.
Precisely. And that makes them pretty awesome. My students love them.
Who's talking about a laptop? If you want a laptop.... buy a laptop.
Now I task the Slashdot collective with this question: How do we as geeks, nerds, and savvy consumers become "The Target Market

I find it a feature. Flash is one of the first things I disable upon installing a browser.
Also, your sig is cracking me up. I bet you were foaming at the mouth when you typed it.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
