Thanks for posting this!

Some thoughts so far: https://krishna.github.io/posts/send-a-program-not-a-datastr...

I should have included the following information in the blog post (will update it later!):

I usually have:

- 45g of air popped popcorn (64 calories).

- 5 to 10g of butter (37 - 74 calories).

- couple of garlic cloves (10 cals).

The thing that's "holding back" the iPad isn't hardware. It's the economics of the App store.

I'm sure Apple are very happy with the niche the iPad dominates in - it leaves plenty of room for Mac laptop sales.
