They're always the hipster idiots who have to run out and buy every gadget that hits Radio Shack the second they're for sale. While they're paying through the nose to be some tech developer's unpaid post-release beta tester, I'm laughing away. It's amusing watching them fumble through all the unexpected glitches and downsides of their high-priced gadgets that are destined for the fate of the dinosaurs.clever pseudonymnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-85279388203906772009-06-25T03:27:28.926-04:002009-06-25T03:27:28.926-04:00You want to get mad, as a reader, but there isn...<i>You want to get mad, as a reader, but there isn't even really enough there to be angered by.</i><br />Exactly! It was like when you're on the bus and someone pushes you, hard enough so that you feel it, but not enough so that you can get angry and push back or cuss them out. Just your average level of st00pid delivered in small doses that slowly eats away at your soul.<br /><br /><i>Kindle is to books what the Segway is to transportation</i><br />Well, more like mini disc. It is pretty cool and it seems to have developed a devout fan base, but inevitably, something better will come along. Hopefully pretty soon.bulbulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505565281151328789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-56999167394381264682009-06-25T02:18:30.310-04:002009-06-25T02:18:30.310-04:00And don't be so hard on McArdle Kindle fetish....And don't be so hard on McArdle Kindle fetish.

And why? The idea is that you pay Amazon $500 for some kind of weird Etch-a-sketch, and after that everything's gravy. WTF? Does anyone really think that the Kindle will still be around in 20 years? In 2129 FFCOL? Unlike, say, a book. Megan, hate to break it to you, you hipster, but the Kindle is to books what the Segway is to transportation: a stupid nerdy waste of money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
