...does City of London police have any jurisdiction outside City of London? Registrar should not have caved in.

I should like to point out that I, a registered voter and taxpayer, have never been asked whether I want my taxes spent on something so monumentally stupid as a Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit. And I suspect that its creation was an idea planted, bought, and paid for by You-Know-Who.

Voldemort? Already?

I honestly could not care less about the number of cores of the microprocessor. Sure, the more the merrier, but again, the more the hungrier. You could stuff 128 cores in there that the machine wouldn't go 1ms faster for pretty much all tasks. What would be useful here would be a benchmark of this CPU with the iPad 3 CPU (which is clocked higher btw). Of course, all benchmarks are biaised, but still, that would give a few pointers for comparing both CPUs. I'm sure you're the guy that says the latest CANON camera is superior to competitor X because it haz moar pixels. Hint: it's not true. Another hint: 4 cores ain't necessarily better than two.

microSD slot is definitely a plus. I'll count that as one.

The OS is at worst a matter of taste, not a clear cut superiority.

And last, I don't know where you can find a new iPad3 these days, so I find it hard on your part to compare the new HP tablet to an old iPad model... The one sold by Apple is the iPad 4, which has an even higher clock rate.

are other sites now following Google's lead, with increasingly sophisticated in-browser programs written in JavaScript ?

Do you even have to ask? Do you never go out on the internet?

ALL websites are more loaded than last year in JavaScript, and this is not a new trend. GMail was just pioneering (in the webmail space that is) the webapp that has only one page and everything you do is driven by JavaScript and the DOM.
