I find his work and his life to be endlessly fascinating. I'll look more into this particular topic. I hadn't known about the "in case of an Internet catastrophe" part.

Her success is well earned. I notice she's risen to #20 today, ahead of Dean Koontz (and Orson Scott Card and Clive Cussler who were on the list last week but have dropped off all together now).

The MacBook Touch is going to be a major hit -- a mobile AppleTV, e-book reader, boombox, typewriter, electronic briefcase/shoebox, and then some… all-in-one -- I'll remember I read it here first! :-) Excellent entry. (And that's why the recent new iMac's wireless keyboard was so tiny and flat: it was designed from the beginning to also be the future MacBook Touch's keyboard! --It will be embedded in the device's back and will be flippable to be used as necessary, or it could just be sold as an add-on for serious typers on the go.)

The "feel" of using a multitouch screen for reading would kill any other method. I also think that, in many circles, PDFs have become ubiquitous. For me and other scientists and physicians, reading PDFs is what we do all day, every day. And color is absolutely needed (sorry e-ink!). Battery life only need be a day, as I need to sleep too... A thin, solid-state, multitouch "reader" that can also surf the web and work with a wireless keyboard (or not) will be the next evolution of the laptop.
