and while i'm at it...
take a look at what mary lou jepsen did with the o.l.p.c. screens.
not only did she make a screen that is _much_better_ than e-ink,
but she did it with a whole lot less money, and in years less time.
and her screen will clearly be _cheaper_ than the e-ink version...
faster, cheaper, _and_ better. that's supposed to be against the law.
in retrospect, then, doesn't it occur to you to at least _speculate_
-- since that seems to be the mode around here -- that e-ink inc.
has been putting out their "we're right around the corner on this!"
propaganda _precisely_ to ward off any competitors like mary lou?
who knows how much further along the e-book revolution would be
if we would have been smart enough to demand some _real_ results
way back _years_ ago when e-ink started making all their promises...
i've been a strong e-book advocate for over 25 years, and i'll tell you,
there hasn't been anything more deadly to us than hype and vaporware.
