What's a computer

The iPad is a dumb appliance like an oven or a fridge. But not as useful. :-)

My wife and I were at the Apple store looking at Ipads. She spends most of her time on line playing bridge on a site that uses flash. The sales person explained that the Ipad didn't run flash because it isn't a computer, it's a mobile device. ???

The iCrud doesn't run Flash simply because the Evil Hegemony have a product called QuickTime which they are trying to get people to adopt instead of Flash.
I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

No. If I meant HTML 5, I'd have said it.

It's the video presentation side. Jobs wants QuickTime as the default player. Everybody else uses Flash.

I think you're letting your hatred of Apple and Jobs cloud your memory. http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/[^]
No. I remember this article from when it appeared, I just don't believe that Jobs was solely concerned about the users.

My girlfriend got a iPad for Christmas from her father and can't for the life of her find a good use for it. She brings it along to bars to look stuff up on the web to settle our bets, debates, etc, and that's only becsuse it boots faster than my netbook.

A few weeks ago I would have agreed with that but no longer. I can now read a book with one hand whilst holding on so I don't fall over on the train every time I have to turn the page. It weighs less than a book, remembers where I am without having to turn the corner down or use a bookmark which falls out. I can make the print a comfortable size. I can carry countless books with me so when I finish one I instantly have another to read and I can carry all of my favourite reference books (as they become available on the Kindle) which would weigh my backpack down quite considerably. I don't have to weigh down my luggage with all of our books or lug them home again. My wife and I can share books easily. The book is dead. Long live the Kindle!
