Similarities to the iPod Touch:

- It shares its multitouch and accelerometer capabilities
- It has home, screen lock, and volume, buttons
- It DOES have multitask capabilities on the new iOS 4.2
- It has an on screen QWERTY keyboard
- It shares the same operating system (iOS)
- It shares the same A4 processor in the iPod Touch 4 and iPhone 4.

- It supports an external keyboard that you can plug in.
- It does not have the crisp retina display of the iPod Touch 4 or iPhone 4
- It does not have the front/rear cameras of the iPod Touch 4 or iPhone 4
- It has a microphone that 1-3 generation iPod Touches doesn't
- It has higher quality and louder speakers
Similarities to a Computer:
- It supports customized Apple office software like iWork
- It has a 10 hour battery life
- It has built in speakers
- It supports multitasking and wireless printing
- It supports an optional physical keyboard
Differences from a Computer:
- It does not support Flash or Javascript on webpages
- It runs a mobile operating system and not a powerful desktop operating environment like Mac or Windows.
- It only supports applications and softwares that are approved by Apple in the app store, and you cannot install 3rd party software without a jailbreak
- It does NOT support pen input like other tablet PCs.
- It does NOT have a USB or Firewire port for external devices
- It does NOT have a port for Ethernet cables
- It does NOT have a CD or DVD drive
- You cannot upgrade the hardware
- It is not, and should not be viewed as a standalone computer, as you need ANOTHER computer to sync your iTunes library to.
Other comparisons:
- The 3G model requires a monthly fee to use its 3G capabilities
- It is a main competitor to the Kindle and supports eBook reading.
- It's a bit of both. You can also watch TV shows and movies.
- On the iPad you can't display anything flash. You CANmultitask for reading books on the iPad but you have to have PERFECT lighting or the glossy screen will make it nearly impossible. The battery supposedly lasts up to 10 hours, which would be great if you could buy a replacement battery so that you wouldn't have to wait 12 hours for it to charge. So, the iPad is pretty much like a big iPod Touch.
Conclusion:
The iPad is more or less identical to the iPod Touch, with the exception of a bigger screen. They both natively possess the basic functions of a mainstream computer, (web browser, email client, photo viewer, music player, video player, calculator, calender, notes program, etc.) and you can install 3rd party apps like office software, photo/video editors, games, instant message clients, productivity suites, etc.
Regardless of the fact that it runs programs like iWork, the iPad was designed for the same purpose of the iPod Touch, and that's to be an entertainment medium. It should NOT be considered a viable substitute for a notebook or desktop PC, simply considering the fact that you need another Windows or Mac to sync it with. Tablet computers like the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab that runs mobile operating systems like iOS and Android is different from tablet PERSONAL computers like the HP Touchsmart tm2 or the Fujitsu Lifebook.
It all comes down to your intended purpose. If you are looking for a simplistic, easy to use, entertainment device adding on to your personal computer(s) and don't think the price is too demanding, go for it. But say you are going to college or planning on purchasing a device for business, then you have no choice but to side with a true notebook or tablet PC.

Why do programs install a driver running in kernel mode?
In modern operating systems, programs are isolated from other programs and from the hardware; if they want to interact, they must do so through a piece of code called the kernel. This means that, if one program goes haywire, it can't bring the whole system down. Drivers are pretty much just the parts of the kernel that directly touch the hardware.

The advantages and disadvantages of using Prestige Pricing?
well because premium pricing is for luxury products, people will like the fact that they are having a luxury product or service, so will be willing to pay more for it. Say the company were to add some value to it, and really go all out to make it a very good product or service, then the person would be willing to pay more. In this way, the luxurious aspect tot he product will get it more sales for whatever price the company wants. The disadvantage is that competitors (if your product/service does well) will see a desire for your product or service in their market audience, so will either offer that same enterprise for the same price as you but with added value to attract customers, or they will offer the same as you but for a lower, more affordable price, which will also attract your customers AND customers from lower down socio-economic groups that could not have afforded your product or service at the price that you were offering.

Can a computer virus control your computer?
Yes, if you let it. A virus is, by definition, a program that duplicates itself, spreading itself throughout a network, possibly mutating itself to avoid detection, just like a real-life virus. However it's the payload that does the actual damage, and that could do anything or nothing at all, and everything in between. Even if your anti-virus misses the virus, it should still be on the lookout for malicious activity, as should your firewall (and even the CPU itself!). Even with these safeguards, never permit anything onto your computer unless the source is validated. A legitimate executable will always advertise its source so if in doubt, take it out. But always check online for advice, as there are often exceptions (false positives).
