Precisely. I don't see how a tablet is much of an improvement in form factor over a laptop. Recall the 'iPad + Linode' experiment [1]. In every photo Mark O'Conor posted of his iPad in action, he had an Apple wireless keyboard next to it. A

It's a fascinating issue, and one that I think will come to dominate political discourse in the next 10-20 years. NIMBYism has a lot to do with this, but the whole system is rigged against the young. We have a generation of teenagers, many

Didn't realize the iPhone 4/4S did away with the simple screen replacement. I was really impressed with that when I broke my iPhone 3G display and came to replace it. I was kind of thinking they'd sacrifice that with the new, even thinner i

Amen to that! This revamp is long overdue. Plus, you never know, some rogue developer might have given in and added FLAC support.

G4S isn't a non-profit. Besides, the firm will have contractual obligations in other areas of the business (e.g. prisoner transportation and security at nuclear facilities), and if it reneges on those, it will face similar consequences.
