Pogue’s Imponderables
Funny “think piece” in NYT’s Circuits section: Pogue’s Imponderables.
There are more than a few funny questions to ponder over including:
* How come cellphone signal-strength bars are so often wrong?
* Laptops, cameras and cellphones have improved by a thousand percent in the last ten years. Why not their batteries?
* Wi-Fi on airplanes. What’s taking so long?
* Would the record companies sell more music online if it weren’t copy-protected?
* Do P.R. people really expect anyone to believe that the standard, stilted, second-paragraph C.E.O. quote was really uttered by a human being?
So true. So true. Read them all here.
