Sometimes a person is perfectly fine with buying and using a toaster instead of buying and using a whole oven.

The same goes for tablets; for casual surfing or communications, a slower, smaller tablet is fine for many people. Those who have tasks that require more CPU power will, of course, purchase different tablets more suitable for those types of tasks. But those uses don't' negate the value of cheap, "lightweight" tablets for other users' uses.

I fail to see what Metro is good for except on a tablet. Windows 8 is indeed a step in the right direction, but Metro should have only been the default Start menu on tablets.

While your plan may be admirable to many, I fail to see how you can expect people to "get off the internet". The Internet is not a physical thing that people can climb onto and off of; it is a collection of logical 1s and 0s that have no tangible physical presence.

First to market != monopoly

Actually, the key is having no medical problems.

This would be a great analogy if your home is located on AT&T's property, weren't ever allowed to go to your home (but you could view it and AT&T's discretion), and your house was made entirely of windows.

I still don't understand how someone can steal something that they already own (Public Domain).

This story has been proven to be a hoax.

North Korea and South Korea are two different countries.

No, it is not OK, regardless of the person't wealth. It is not OK to sieze property because of a governmental clerical error. It is not OK to sieze property because of governmental clerical error. It is not OK to put a person in jail temporarily because of a governmental clerical error.

Clerical errors can take *years* to identify and remedy. It is not OK to punish the victim of these errors until the error can be corrected, again, regardless of the wealth of the victim.
