Apple Products Used As War Weapons

Amazing what they can do with this kind of technology.

Weeks after the Connecticut massacre claimed 26 lives, a gun company has developed technology that allows complete amateurs to hit targets from more than 1km away with pin point accuracy.

The computerised sight is powered by Linux and includes a digital tracking scope and a modified trigger mechanism, plus it provides a video image of the target, similar to the display screen a fighter jet pilot would view.

Same could be said for any other country though.

Only way I can see Apple products being used as a weapon is if you throw them at your enemy... That useless crap.
Apple hate.

Apple doesn't have much control on what happens to an iPad, just as Dell or Asus have no control with what you do with your computers. No new news.

New in the fact that it hasn't been done before at the touch of a screen with your finger. Sure, done before with computers and whatnot, but this is new technology. Plus, it's very user friendly.

I would agree since it's very GUI-nubcakish, but I am not surprised by the slightest. This technology was bound to jump out sometime.

Indeed it is. It's only a matter of time before you can make nuclear bombs out of recyclable ingredients. :3
