Have any links for the gender divide? In my family me and my brother in laws have ipad minis but all the women have the full sized iPads. We chose the mini because it is more convenient to cart around and is the first ipad (first tablet?) close to the Star Trek pads; one of my brother in laws is an electrician and uses it (in a suitable case) on the job - full code reference, notes for the current job, etc. So I'm not sure gender is a factor here, but cost and the right size/weight for a particular usage.

I've never bought organic for the taste or nutrition, I'm more concerned with pesticide and "buddnip" use on non-organic produce. The best place to get your veggies (aside from your own garden) is a local farm/farmers market (although for the latter be careful to find out where vendors are getting their produce from...)

CUPS 1.6 (and the next 1.5.x) will support "Bonjour" discovery using Avahi on Linux and other platforms (in addition to mDNSResponder, which is also open source and works just dandy on the same platforms...)

The problem with CUPS Browsing is that it relies on UDP Broadcasts, which are bad for Wi-Fi bandwidth and power consumption. CUPS Browsing also has issues with hostnames - how do you setup a network using CUPS Browsing without broadcasting IP addresses (printer@11.22.33.44?? Yeck), setting up a DNS server, or syncing /etc/hosts files? All of those things are solved by Bonjour (mDNS, Zeroconf, DNS-SD)
