Stranded
Among those grounded or stranded are:
* British comedian John Cleese, who ended up paying $5,100 for a taxi ride from Oslo, Norway, where he'd appeared on a talk show, to Brussels, hoping to catch a train back to London.
* Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, stranded in New York, who has been using his newly purchased Apple iPad to govern remotely.
* Five outreach workers from Sierra Leone and Liberia, who were forced to cancel a fact-finding trip to the war crimes trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor in The Hague.
* Spain's King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, who had to cancel a trip to Copenhagen to celebrate Queen Margrethe's 70th birthday.
* Moroccan runner Abdellah Falil, stranded in Paris on his way to Monday's Boston Marathon.

Stoltenberg--stranded in New York City because of a volcanic eruption in Iceland entering European airspace and disrupting travel--has been using the iPad to get his daily work done, according to a CNN report. The network said that it spoke with the prime minister, who said it's business as usual for his government.
"It's very normal for a prime minister to travel abroad, so this is not different from the other travels, it's just lasts some days more than expected," Stoltenberg told CNN. "We have the Internet, the mobile phone. I also use an iPad, which is excellent."
Stoltenberg plans to get back to his country on Saturday, but he will be forced to travel in a roundabout way to do so. Until then, it seems that his iPad could be his best friend as he attempts to keep his government running amid an unlikely roadblock.
For Apple's part, the company could use Stoltenberg's iPad use for its own gain. What better way for Apple to promote the iPad as a mobile companion than to say that it can help a prime minister run his country? |
