I want there to be a way to do this with touch screens, but I haven't found it yet.
When it happens, though, I may retire my beloved keyboard.
I thought the Courier was cool when it was presented, and still cool now. I would completely consider getting one if it were priced the same as one of the other tablets.
The media isn't fearmongering off 'death by planecrash'. Why can't he use something more direct like 'mistakenly-shot a family member that forgot their keys', or drive-by shootings, accidental-discharge-of-a-firearm-while-it-was-being-cleaned deaths? Unlocked gun cabinet related deaths?
Unfortunately Lynx doesn't support html5 video.
Everyone is talking about reasons why using iPython can be impractical, or cumbersome/not-possible to install, but the important thing is that the default experience should strive to be the best experience.
Python has a pretty good standard library, and a pretty good batteries-included toolset, but talk to anyone who's experienced in it and you'll hear about all the Best Tools you have to install in order to be up to par: pip, virtualenv, ipython, third-party libraries to supplement what you want to do (requests, *-parse...).
When the community agrees that there are certain extras that are all good to install, it shows that the features they offer should probably be provided by default. I like Python, and I want Python to provide the best experience by default.
You decide.
Hiring someone in sales helps you earn money, but I doubt a single cheerful apple-store worker brings in $500k in merchandise sales for that store.
