Oregon has super clear laws on this.

ORS814.400 states "bicycle is a vehicle for purposes of the vehicle code"

I've known plenty of people who have gotten BUI's. On the up side of that it also means bikes are allowed the full lane! which as a biker, is really great and necessary sometimes.

here is the full law: http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/814.html

I hear what your saying, But if you look at the iPad as the future of computing it does seem a bit bleak, what you can do with a full featured laptop is much different then what you can do with an iPad. sure you might be able to unlock it or mod it in some way but I would see it more as novelty hacking compared to what you can do with your laptop or desktop computer. an iPad is just a simplified computer made for a specific kind of interaction, not nearly as dynamic as the "stove"
