The paperback continuum Remember Penny's "computer book" in the '80's cartoon Inspector Gadget? It was a PDA, cellphone, tricorder and hacking tool all in one, and consisted of paper-like colour touchscreen pages bound into a hardcover tome. How I wish for an ebook like that! Alas, the ebooks of today have not taken the world - or word - by storm. At least one ebook company, Waterfront Media, has cleverly differentiated its products by harnessing ebooks' greatest strength - their interactivity. Turning their ebooks into hypermedia generates value-add that would be impossible with content on paper. From silentblue | Quantified on March 27, 2004 at 5:54 p.m..

Ruling Another Step Toward Police State

  • AP: Court Opens Door To Searches Without Warrants. A federal appeals court has opened the door for police in Texas and two other states to search residences and buildings for evidence without a warrant -- a ruling strongly criticized by two dissenting justices. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled police do not need an arrest or search warrant to conduct a swift sweep of private property to ensure their safety. The abuses this will encourage are just mind-boggling. The Bill of R From Dan Gillmor's eJournal on March 27, 2004 at 1:47 p.m..
