As I said above, I have an X61 tablet. Now I know that you're trolling, but I can't resist:

1. I can't speak to the Air, but the thinkpads are anything but 'flimsy'. My old vaio felt like a sodden pizza box compared to the Thinkpad. It simply doesn't flex.
2. Yes it's a bit wee, but used as a tablet, it's perfectly sized. Which brings us to:
3. If you want to hold a 10lb box in one arm as you draw with the other, you're insane. Or governor of California.

A Proposal For Unionizing Bloggers 259

mikesd81 writes "Coloumbia Journal Review writes about the possibility of unionizing bloggers. Chris Mooney writes 'Yes, dear reader: the Bloggers Guild of America may be on its way. The dispute between screen and television writers and media conglomerates has its roots, after all, in the Web.' He says, then, they get zero compensation for their products being distributed over the Internet. 'Bloggers often earn that same salary. There are exceptions, of course, those fortunate few who have become quasi-celebrities in their own right and found themselves, and their sites, snatched up by major media companies,' he goes on to say. He also adds that a bloggers guild could protect a blogger's intellectual property and help ensure they're compensated for it."
