the worst part is, i
am doing what i love. i actually do like the *work* and i imagine i would continue doing it after retirement, for fun. sometimes i do projects for free *now*, if i like the project / people enough. it's the
clients that drive me mad. when i retire, i'll be able to pick my clients. and the selection process will be rigorous, i can assure you. also, since i'll be working for free, the client will no longer be able to say "but i don't like blue, can you make it orange instead ?", or ask me to move that bit over 2 mm to the left, or reduce the width of a 5 mm stripe by "a few millimeters"...

Looters grabbed Readers from the broken machine. They were all apprehended later, of course, when they registered their product on the Sony Connect site.
This story then used as justification from publishers for 1) not supporting the ebook market, and when they grudgingly do, requiring 2) DRM.
As an odd detail in the story, the dying man was heard to mutter "the blue one, next to the fish". Fascinated readers, googling the phrase, joined MobileRead and bought Kindles.

Cybooks.
