I think you subconsciously listed them in the correct order...

Huuuh, I guess you right, hehehe.
I've seen things you little people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium. I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched c-beams glitter in the...

As a one time SeaBee I can say the best part of it all is they'll be doing it with equipment that was "acquired" from the Army.

I'm sure Apple would allow the military to have their own marketplace if and when it's needed

Your right - because any business can do it today! But hey, I realize that's no where near as fun as "Apple is mean and controlling"

That would be cool though, I would love to get my hands on a iPad that has a MIL rating.

We have resellers that are Apple-authorized to open iPhones and iPads, do things like embed RFID tracking, re-assemble and maintain the Apple warranty.

Oh cool, I want one then. Would you happen to have a name of a company who makes such modifications.

I still wish that company that used to make tablets from Macbooks was still around. I would love to have Macbook Air tablet. I have already modified my Macbook Air's screen for touch but I would love it more if it was a convertable like my Lenovo x220.
