Wow. People who are looking to buy netbooks want the tablet to cost about as much as a netbook. Nice work if you can get it.

OK, I'm going to try to keep this thread from getting sucked into PoliticalOutsider. Here is the deal: CTA is hurting badly, and their infrastructure needs a great deal of work. Apple wants to gussy up the CTA stop because it's the one people wil…

I'm glad it's a fingertip mouse instead of one of those "ergonomic" things that you glom your hand on to (that's not ergonomic, it's just a last-ditch corrective for people who refuse to use a mouse ergonomically, with their fingertips). It also mak…

Chalk me up as one more person who liked the puck. What the reaction to the puck revealed, mostly, is that the vast majority of people hold their mice in a way that is more or less guaranteed to destroy their wrists. That's why they need those bulky…
