From the entry...
"Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!"
The joke contains a number of nonsensical pseudo-German words, and does not translate into anything meaningful.
He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Neither does REAL German!!! 
Just kidding of course... Some of my best friends are German (and Shepherds as well...) 
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant

The scientific proof of that joke being the funniest is subject to survivor bias.

I read it yesterday and I read it again today. If that's the funniest joke in the world then comedy is well and truly f***ed.

I am sure when TV was invented there wast talk of the post cinema era. However, this did not happen. The VCR came still cinema survived. DVD came, still cinema survived proving that some things are better on the big screen. Today because of smartphones and tablets there is talk of the post pc era, i dont buy it. smartphones and tablets cannot completely replace the pc. Somethings are always better on the big screen. I can think of a few EXCEL, Point Of Sale, Aiport Check In.

Just try typing code, or a business letter on a tablet!
PITA is just the start of it...you need a proper keyboard.

I have two 22" monitors - one of them is purely for VS, the other is email, Chrome, SSMS, etc.
You can't get enough info onto a tablet screen to cover all that.
And lets be honest - if you start connecting a keyboard and a mouse to your tablet, you're gonna be better off with a lappie anyway - and then, you may as well use that as a desktop by plugging both monitors in...
Yes, I can watch TV and films on my tablet...but I prefer to use the 42" TV instead...

You need to get a third one for CP...

Chrome lives on my Portrait monitor, and is overlaid by the other stuff.
But yes, maybe I should look for a third...

You just right - for now. However, consider that most computer usage done by non-programming people. Also the kind of usage is mostly entertainment and task-management, so PC will step back, but not disappear...
(Also cinema went the same way - at least around me...)
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

A tablet is a PC, just boxed differently and preloaded with different software. We're already seeing crossover machines being sold.
The traditional PC (desktop and laptop) will certainly survive for software developers and gamers, neither of whom is well serviced by tablet hardware or ergonomics. A lot of other office work (secretaries, HR, admin, accounting, writing, using CAD etc) also needs something with a big screen on a desk and a keyboard and mouse – which is basically a definition of a PC.
So I agree, what we think of as a PC is likely to stick around for a long time. It may be that some of those machines are internally more like tablets are today (i.e. ARM based Linux distros with more phone-like interfaces), but they will still essentially be PCs.

IMHO the PC will be around for a long time.

how?? 
About - RE
against - V
finally ends - FY

RE - means about, or concerning: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/re[^].
V - abbreviation of Versus[^] - against.
finally ends - take the end characters of finally, i.e. FY.
Many of these constructs are quite unfamiliar if English English is not your first language. Often they are a play on words, where something can have a different meaning if taken out of the sentence in which it occurs. Consider the sentence: Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. Does it make sense? Yes, and no.
