Or, much more likely, people will host books in countries like China that care little about copyright, and they will be read on the web by devices more like the iPod 3 that will surf web pages, play music, and take pictures.

eReaders are an evolutionary dead end.

Hmm ... missing from the miBook and "iPod 3"? The thing that makes even the current generation of electronic readers good for actual reading: electronic paper. Nice, contrasty, looks like newsprint, much easier on the eyes than lame old LCDs, electronic paper.

Say "YES" to War on Iraq by Dan Savage Oct. 2002

"War may be bad for children and other living things, but there are times when peace is worse for children and other living things, and this is one of those times."

"The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we're going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves."
