If you're looking to use an iPad as a 2nd monitor, then this might be what you are looking for.

I and several member of my family have congenital cataracts in both eyes - seems to have started with my grandmother, and seem to have approx 60% chance of passing them on to offspring.
We use eye drops (Atropine 1%) that relax the muscles that constrict the pupils, such that a larger amount of light can get into our eyes and get past the mass of the cataract. My pupils are almost permanently dilated as much as possible and with them I can go outside - regular people with the same eye drops could not go outside as it would be far too bright.
My (corrected) vision is 6/12 -1, so my vision is poor by most standards - it has not changed has far as we have records so I don't know what will happen over time. I'm currently 42, and have had nothing done to my eyes yet. When I visit my ophthalmologist we often chat about surgery options to get them removed, but she recommends that I don't have anything done until my vision starts to go downhill (she even has her own laser surgery practice)
My brother has has one eye corrected with laser surgery, and while his vision improved markedly it is still not 20/20. The ophthalmologist says (in my words) that because our eyes have never seen with normal vision our brain will not be able to understand a fully corrected image - seems to be basically correct based on my brother's experience. My niece had her cataracts removed at 6-months, and will need either contacts or glasses until she finishes growing, then she can have her lenses shaped to give her fairly normal vision.
Apparently our condition is not that uncommon - but I have never encountered anyone outside of my family with congenital cataracts.
(not sure what my point was with writing all that, but I fell better anyway)
The only problem is that there used to be many more sheep.
The wolves have been voting with us sheep all along, and then taking out another sheep each time we turned our backs.
What happens when the last sheep falls asleep?
Yeah, but was there camera coverage of the actual minivan strike, or just BDA (ball damage assessment)?

Likewise Angry Birds is was at 42 million in 2010, with new ports still coming.

In addition, there is no way to sell bundles, no way to split profits between multiple developers and charities, no way to allow people to pay what they want, no way to bundle soundtracks and source code as bonuses, no way to provide gifting options, no way to provide app availability across mutliple platforms.. I could go on. Everything that makes buying a Humble Bundle different from just buying a game in the app store would have to be eliminated to fit it into an app store.
I have no idea really, but I suspect that Apple might want to talk if someone contacted with them with a possible million sales, then perhaps the profit shares and other downloads might suddenly become possible.
I'm amazed at the high average donation this time around. IIRC the last few Humble Bundles I bought into had an average of around $2. At the time of writing the average on this bundle is $3.98. I guess these games offer pretty good value.
The higher average price might also be - if you pay more then the (at payment time) average price paid then you get another two games (and so then the average goes up slightly)
The average now is $4.06
... In fact, I think metamoderation is a great solution to this, or provides a great tool for it.
First, from your own allegations, I think any old posts receiving moderation should get a higher priority for metamod and should get in front of more eyeballs.
Second, it would be great to make sure that each moderated article gets its unique moderation points evaluated multiple times, and higher priority with the greater number of mods (so someone slamming your post with 50 downvotes would quickly cause it to be metamodded).
...
Just had a thought that might help but I can't think through the possibilities.
How about making moderations expire over time, similar to how mod points expire over time.
Maybe the longer you've been a member the more permanent your mods are.
It could make trendy things not so important, but good facts should always be good.
Um, if their OS were secure, why would they need antivirus software?
My house has security screens and deadbolt doors. I guess that means I don't need a guard dog or a gun, then ?
My house has 'fly' screens and standard door locks, but they were here when I moved in.
It doesn't have a guard dog or a gun.
Maybe you need to live in a more secure operating environment/country.
I have always got on well with the other staff at the few places that I have worked.
I would prefer to visit people at their desk rather then talk over the phone.
Eat in the lunch room - nearly everyone goes there.
Introduce yourself to the new staff, and remember their name, even the cleaners.
On slow days grab a cup of tea/coffee and wander the office, check-in on the people that you don't see much and ensure that people can see that you will talk to them.
When you get invites to go down to the pub after work, go occasionally even if you don't drink.
I don't have great social skills and am very much an introvert, but I make an effort and most people appreciate that.
When people see you as a regular person then they will have a nicer attitude towards you.
