While the horny one is sure it's easier to argue against last year's facts, as of iOS 5 a computer is no longer required to activate an iPad. Thank you for calling.

Well, you mouth-breathing iPad content consumers are going to be breathing out of the other sides of your mouths when Windows 8 ships... uh, sometime late this year.

Tap on the Desktop tile, and you are instantly transported to the familiar Windows 7 desktop. The applications you invested years learning to use are there in all their glory; not striped down versions that some guy in a marketing department thought were "good enough" for tablet users.

Except , of course. Oh, and have fun running the "applications you invested years learning to use" with a touch-based interface.

They may be old fashioned, but after 30 years of development, the industry has refined these input devices to the point where they're hard to beat for content creation.
