POPSThe Greatest Gadgets of All Time Gadget Lab asked people to submit entries and vote for what they think is the 'Greatest Gadget of All Time' . The ancestors of whatever we have today win of course. ;) The tiny numbers that appear in different places in the clip are the votes given to each gadget. Numbers to the left are "up" votes; right are "down" votes. More gadgets at the site.

POPSAre e-books the new newspapers? Trend Monitor was writing about newspapers being circulated using what was then called "data broadcasting". We brought out our own 'ebook' at the time designed to work with floppy disk. With wireless distribution, this could finally become the next big technology given the enormous financial and environmental cost of paper newspapers, journals, magazines and books. The way a subscription model would work is that publishers would (jojntly or singly) lease ebooks to customers as part of the subscription, so they would not have to pay upfront costs.

POPSNew Sony Reader has touch display, note-taking stylus I have both the SONY PRS-500 and the Kindle and prefer the Kindle simply because it is easier to put content on the device and has a wider range of content. Until Sony gets their pricing down to match Amazon and until there is wireless, the PRS-500 is the last SONY I will purchase.
