This is what I'm saying! It's retarded that they are bitching about some "here is an app with a picture of a somewhat unclothed man" when I have just now googled "double penetration" and received thousands of results

David_Dovey:
Hey parents, if you are worried about yr child accessing sexual content on a smartphone, maybe don't give yr child a fucking smartphone what does a fucking kid need a smartphone for fuckkk

KvP:
The Courier ist kaput. Sadness.

That's a damn shame. Now we only have that Lenovo thing to fall back on.

I'm thinking of what that IdeaPad, a laptop with a removable tablet screen, would be capable of if it were to be mass-marketed. Humour me for a bit, and imagine a world where every person who uses a computer has one of these: A laptop to use at home or at work, combined with a tablet to use for mobile connectivity. For these two purposes, you can engineer the two units to work complementary. In the tablet you put wifi, bluetooth, a webcam, a flash memory drive, a microphone and a headphone jack, making it suitable for using it on the road. In the laptop dock you can then put a video card, extra RAM, an extra hard disk, a DVD drive and speakers, so you don't come anything short when you need to get to work.
Doing this gives you another use of the tablet unit, namely, a mobile desktop. Think about it: As a company, when every employee has a uh, tabtop, let's go with that, you can increase their working efficiency by providing them with a laptop dock for work. Then they can commute with the tablet, plug it in at their cubicle, and synchronize their home computer with their work computer. Documents you need to work on can be taken home by saving them on the tablet, and music you'd like to listen to at work can be taken from home the same way. You can do the same with schools or airports or where-ever. That would be cool, wouldn't it?

I'm also wondering how the problem of size could be handled. Have touchscreens that can fold been invented yet?

On my flight to Spain a few weeks ago, the dude across the aisle and one row ahead of me (ie. the seat I could see most clearly) pulled out at various points his Macbook, iPhone, and iPad. I rolled my eyes at the cheesiness of this walking Apple Store (he probably hangs around coffee shops showing off,) but I must say I got really intrigued when he used a stylus to draw stuff on his iPad.

Drawing on the touchscreen using a stylus is the primary reason I would want an iPad. Not gonna buy a $500 sketchbook, but if any other compelling uses come up then I'll be tempted.
