The technology can freeze the device until the user clicks a button or answers a test question to demonstrate that he or she has dutifully noticed the commercial message. Because this technology would be embedded in the innermost core of the device, the ads could appear on the screen at any time, no matter what one is doing.”

That Apple patent application concerns me. Does it apply to whatever tablet they ultimately release? Will it be integrated/included in some future update to the iPhone or its reading/book apps?

Petty much? Why, yes, I am. I’m also still stuck typo/editing issues. The Romantic Times blog apparently doesn’t understand the difference between its and it’s. Actually, that sentence (I can’t say who either the new line or it’s lack of DRM would affect me) needs to be fixed generally.

“Can DNA matching serve you better than a regular old dating site?”

I hope this doesn’t happen. People like me, with genetic defects, would be totally screwed. If my husband knew what he was getting into then, he’d have run the other way.

That’s one device I certainly won’t be buying!

I’m biased. I’m so looking forward to the rise of contemporaries.

Nothing would make me happier, both as a reader and as an author, than the rising again of the big, fat, funny contemporary. I hope that’s true.
