The Case Against Links

May 31, 2010 NET News No Comments

Links – are they a net negative for readers online? That’s the idea being deliberately explored by a number of publishers, says writer Nicholas Carr today. The iconoclastic author says that he has grown sympathetic to the thinking of Steve Gillmor, the almost incomprehensibly future-bound sage tech journalist who has argued for years that “links are dead.” Links within articles are a distraction and imply that the reader ought to leave what they are reading to read something else, Carr says.

Enso zenPad unboxing and hands-on: one disappointment after another

May 31, 2010 IT News No Comments

For the price, there’s nothing truly terrible about the SMiT MID-560A touchscreen tablet.

But if you have — or if you bought yours from a company called Enso and became embroiled in a vaporware scandal as a result — the zenPad is quite the letdown.

But the iPhone can definitely be used for magic , as we’ve seen before, even if you’re not a highly trained magician
