I'm pretty sure at least 30% of usage from this device for this purpose will include one or more ponies.

Those games you cited are developed with the gameplay in mind first and graphics/storytelling later.
Your typical "AAA console game" sacrifices everything for more visual fidelity and storytelling, even if its a pointless exercise due the lack of power of the consoles as was pointed out.

"It will be the prettier game of the console X/Y" so they say, but to reach that, a lot of noninteractive cutscenes, invisible walls to streamline the level and focus the assets on the memory in a small confined corridor and even some gameplay mechanics to force the player to walk to specific corners where the game looks prettier.

To not mention the endless QTEs that are meant to pretend the player is playing the game when actually just watching another cutscene he can fail.

On a post-apocalyptic, post-industrial future, if you get ANY sort of computer, it will be either manufactured out of scavenged transistors or components too old to be fried by EMPs like 6502 CPUs, microcontrollers etc..
So, not even close to the required computing power to waste with inneficient interpreted languages.
Except basic of course.

Or could just make some nasty eletric traps and surveilance system to outsmart the invaders.

Consoles are the dominant force in the industry for EA like games, aka big budgeted graphical powerhouses with very limited gameplays.
But those are slowly going the way of the caddilacs because they're getting too expensive to make and are not exactly something you can describe as good games.
So yes, in an EA point of view, infact PC is dying as it is stopping to buy EA games.

Copyright was something untransferable and automatically assigned to everyone that is directly responsible for the creation of the content in first place?

SDL is quite a match for DirectX.

Or less fan noise while watching porn.

I think that most of the trolls may actually be just really bored people, looking for a easy way out of their boredom, and thus they're not even trolls the whole time.

That prints out their prime directives onscreen using the ol good green text?

The only reason why i use opera over the other browsers is the connecting->sending request->receiving data cycle from the status bar.
The other browsers with their cryptic "waiting for" are simply too annoying.
And this is why i hated the engine change as well.

If the planes have some sort of hidden software that allows someone to monitorate/control the planes remotely, they're not the best anymore.

While in the future you will be able to have a tablet that is like 10x faster than a current desktop, and it offers enough power to work on basically anything needed, the format itself of the tablet is bad for working.
The "virtual keyboard" is always worse than a regular keyboard, and as its a portable device, the screen will always be small and will need you to hold it.
Of course, you can plug a keyboard on the tablet, and can plug another screen on it or put it on a stand, but the end result? a battery powered, slow desktop computer.
Maybe the "computer" of the future will be a small box or a pendrive like device that will be plugged on several different "shells" for perform different functions.

Or you can rent some quite heavy books and be exactly on the spot the books will fall.

I think they're trying to solve it by making the trackpad concave and with a plastic ring on the middle to tell you where the middle is. But must see how effective it is at it.
