Yes, Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was grounded in NYC, thanks to the volcanic ash over European airspace, and has been running the government with his iPad. He told CNN, "There are good means of communication, I have close contacts with my office all the times, and there are a lot of activities in Norway where we try to reduce the consequences of the volcano in Norway. It's very normal for a PM to travel abroad so this is not different from the other travels, it's just lasts some days more than expected. We have the internet, the mobile phone... I also use an iPad, which is excellent."
Besides running the government via his iPad at a JFK Airport lounge, Stoltenberg also visited the music production team of Stargate while in NYC. Stargate has worked on songs for Beyonce, Rihanna and Ne Yo, so the Biggie and Kanye West posters make sense. At any rate, Stoltenberg is closer to home—he's in Madrid now.
