Maybe you weren't alive in the 80's but that's just how we talked. We said stuff like:

"I love Tron's graphics, they're so BAD."
and
"Tron's graphics are so BAD, they spun me right round, baby, right round. Like a record, baby, right round round round."
and
"Tron's colors are like my dream. Red, gold and green."
and
"Like totally to the max!"

B) If you don't think that machines can ever be "sentient" but you do believe that biological organisms can be, then you must explain what magic is happening in biology which can not be replicated in other media.

Also, if you could explain at exactly which level of biological intelligence "sentience" emerges. I'll assume you would claim humans as sentient. Is that all humans? How about apes? Monkeys? All mammals? All vertebrates? Maybe if we can determine who is sentient and who isn't, we can study the differences in their brains and find out what is the magic part that makes it all possible.

I had a black and white one that was very cool while it lasted. There were two things about it that I found appealing:
1) eye fatigue comparable to reading words printed on paper
2) no extraneous features like internet access to distract me

After it broke down I started using Stanza on iPod Touch. As it turns out, I'm not experiencing the fatigue I expected from LCD and I'm not distracted by my other apps. E ink is an interesting technology but I really can't see much use for it going forward.

Still ... aren't we supposed to skip every version of Windows (because they're always only half-cooked)?

There. Fixed that for ya.

Vocabulary != grammar

So, no, you're not a grammar nazi. You're a vocabulary nazi but maybe just not a very good one.

I was gonna get an iPad but now that someone has vaguely described a competing product I think I'll just hold on to my money for up to 3 years consider buying it instead.

This is a clear case of "dog bites man" and therefore, by definition, not news. Let me know when a diabetic dog's life is saved by his heroic master eating one of his toes.

Sounds like more evidence for that small penis theory.

I'm waiting for programmable okonomiyaki.

And I, for one, welcome our new moon water overlords.

But seriously, if you want anyone to get interested in the moon, you need to find out how much light sweet crude is up there.

Please bring this to Japan. It is impossible to find free wifi here. SBC used to have it but they seem to have completely folded.

I'm not entirely convinced that a backlit screen causes as much eye strain as people think. It may sound strange, but I think part of the blame is on badly rendered fonts. I rarely, if ever, get eye strain reading text on a Mac or iPod but chunky Windows fonts will do it to me. Or maybe it's just psychological...

They got 'a guy' into parliament? 'A' guy? One? Let me tell you about the USA...

Nobody. But if anyone did, they'd immediately find the premise of the article ridiculous. Good luck teaching a baby to use a Kindle. Also, I doubt babies would be interested in monochrome rabbits.

I used to have an ereader, not a kindle but similar, and I liked it a lot until it broke. But I really don't see why anyone would choose a kindle or similar device over an iPad. Am I missing something?
