FYI, this isn't exactly "news" (tho' the article is new).

WSJ -- Laptop ban, 8/2009 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124950421033208823.html
NYT -- ebook readers http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/0...establishment/

Anyway.....

Though I am a techie and far from nostalgic, I am put off a bit that the patrons at my local cafe are staring intently at laptops, rather than reading or chatting with one another.

But, I don't support bans. If you don't want laptops, don't offer free wi-fi or outlets. Or tables perhaps.
