WTF they let this guy have a laptop on the table at a WSOP final table??

This is so nuts. I have to admit, I am guilty of this in several places. At the dinner table I am allowed to bring the PC to the dinner table because my extended family knows I play poker (to earn side money in my retirement at age 50), on vacations I have asked for and received permission from the boss of the house to have my PC at the table when it is meal time(with children present), and I have watched WWE wrestling at Wing House restaurants and had my computer there working away and at McDonald's all over several states. Glad to see I am not the only wack job.
I just let people know this is my work(weekends and evenings) and I can feel just as comfortable in the other room during a mealtime, if they felt offended, but folks always want me close by. I just say if I had to take time away from poker as much as I am visiting people, I would only get in 7 weeks of poker instead of 45 weeks, so others work around my schedule as much as they can if they want visiting time from me.

How many times have you seen twitter or facebooks updates by pros in the middle of tournaments. Especially wsop. Most of these are made by smart phones of course. But most of those phones can do anythin a computer can do so what is the difference really. If it is a laptop he gets no advantage by having it at the table as long as he doesnt have it open during a hand he is involved in.
