Ask Slashdot: Making a Tablet Run Only One Application? 260
An anonymous reader asks "I'm working for a medical centre who want to make a tablet with various videos and webpages about smoking cessation available in their waiting room. The tablet can't access the Internet because of security policies. I'm planning to use a local server with copies of the (Creative Commons) videos and pages accessed through local webpages using the tablet's browser. How can I make only the browser be available to the tablet users? Ideas? Suggestions?"

Pamphlets are easy to steal also. I have 800 at home. Just for the hell of it.

Just paint a black frame around some rectangular mirrors and put a big reversed brochure printout on the ceiling. Nobody will know the diff and you can keep the real tablets for yourself. (My experience at AOL is paying off.)

Brilliant! This has the side benefit of making the waiting room a very convenient place to snort coke! (my experience on Wall Street is paying off too!)

Though, unless I'm mistaken, the reason the magazines are there is that they make everything go easier for the staff.
Based on my son's past experiences with the Urgent Care clinic we use, the magazines there are already filled with easy-going staph.
I almost want to snort their disinfecting foam after just walking through the place. The thought of even touching a waiting-room tablet makes my anti-bodies all tingly.
