Interesting. Are you then suggesting that an ereader is sentient?

I read what you wrote as referring to the people around the person using the tablet not knowing what use the tablet was being used for. Went back and re-read and still reads that way to me. As you said, "it's a job machine". A statement I disagreed with since the majority of tablets around here are personal devices used for personal purposes.

As for viewing porn? Where I work, that's a crash landing. And yes, we've lost a few people including a CxO over that issue. Must be an interesting place where you work.
