The sad thing is that this is supposed to be Hacker news, not Apple fan-boy news.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the iPad. Could anybody clarify?

Is it just a regular tablet? What OS does it run? Is it free? Can I change it to GNU?

After reading a dozen or so entrepreneur stories, I've come to the conclusion that luck and connections were the most important factors in their success [citation needed], and bodybuilders don't need any of them.

I simply can't believe so many people are paying that exorbitant price tag ($1600 to $16000 an year) to have zero-profit niche Q&A website.

It doesn't make sense financially, and they could sponsor free software development of the already mentioned clones.

god...

As a Brazilian, I consider very offensive the american difference between Hispanic and White. Were iberian europeans somehow lesser than north europeans?

No matter the answer, non-hispanic whites are ignored and the term is now used to designate people from latin countries - I, myself, being the product of german and italian "whites", have been called hispanic more than once.

Ah, the typical and noble starving artist, who sacrifices material well-being in order to focus on its artwork.

Meh, this is a war against MEN.

In a society with such a gender imbalance, women can be more picky and some men are left without hope of getting a partner. Without a partner, what are they going to focus on life, if not work? And who is gonna get their money when they die?

Communists may be evil, but they aren't stupid, so it's unlikely they haven't foreseen this.
