"Stoltenberg's press secretary told CNN that the prime minister has been running his government from Apple's tablet."
It's good to be KING!

He is not “running the country” any more than the President does here.
Talk about stupid reporters

No doubt cruise ships will pick up some biz. as planes stay grounded.
Interesting to watch fuel prices, refineries calculate demand and volume load on jets flying 24/7.
During the last big grounding (9/11) oceans of jet fuel went up the flares as pipelines and tanks filled.

...the cotton-pickin thing is good for something! Yup. And he could do the same thing with nearly any other Internet-connected computer.
The iPad continues to underwhelm.

From the article: "Stoltenberg, who traveled from Oslo to participate in President Obama's nuclear summit"...
Ha, that was the excuse. The real reason was to buy an IPad. They won't be available in Norway for a while. I wonder how many other heads of state came for that reason, LOL.

Is it really an iPad? Or a laptop? Most of the geeks I read on-line say that the iPad is pretty useless.

Norway? He could probably run it from an Etch-A-Sketch.

At least they have a short re-boot time.

Most of the geeks I read on-line say that the iPad is pretty useless.Those "geeks" think a device is "useless" based on a spec sheet; they reach that conclusion without trying to use it or considering how people in the real world use computers.
If you can do it from a (Flash-free) Web browser or e-mail client, you can do it from an iPad. For that matter, there are remote access clients that let you remotely control a Mac or Windows PC from the iPad. I doubt the president is doing a lot of photoshop or video editing.
