When I was a kid, it was mostly analog. In fact, it was hand written. In fact, it was spoken. In fact, we just used to just bang rocks together to get the news. Rocks were a luxury, actually. In fact, we used to smash our foreheads together in an effort to pass the news between people more directly. In some cases we scalped and ate the brains of those who knew more than us. Because that’s how it was. But here you are today in your fancy homes on your fancy computers having the news poured into your mouths like honey straight from the comb. Slack arses.

- iPad’s ibooks get iPadlocks

- Iran blocks Goodreads site… next up: air
- iSeuss offers iNteractive eXperience
- Penguin catalogues go digital
- Gérard Depardieu dons beige-face to play Dumas, much to French consternation

Interesting article about Apple planning on using FairPlay to lock content (more or less) to their iPad device. I wonder if the same outcry that Amazon heard/hears with regards to it locking content to the Kindle will be leveled at Apple as well.

When I was in Iran in summer 2008, it was perplexing to see which websites were blocked, and which weren’t.
For example, the LRB, Vanity Fair, and Arts and Letters Daily were all denied.
