    Interesting article (or audio). Excerpt:
    You'll be pleased to know that communism was defeated in Pennsylvania last year. Governor Ed Rendell signed into law a bill prohibiting the Reds in local government from offering free Wi-Fi throughout their municipalities. The action came after Philadelphia, where more than 50 percent of neighborhoods don't have access to broadband, embarked on a $10 million wireless Internet project. City leaders had stepped in where the free market had failed. Of course, it's a slippery slope from free Internet access to Karl Marx. So Rendell, the telecom industry's latest toady, even while exempting the City of Brotherly Love, acted to spare Pennsylvania from this grave threat to its economic freedom.

  36. Re:Why use a tiny keyboard on the 17"? by Andy_R · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Apple Updates PowerBooks

    While the point about not sitting centrally is definitely valid, take a look at this picture of the 15" machine and compare it to the standard Apple keyboard. The inverted T is half-height, the function keys are half height (and not all 15 are there), there is no numeric pad, no pageup/down/home/end/help/del block, the return is single height not double, the control alt, space and apple keys are smaller than usual, there is an extra key to the left of the spacebar and the gaps betwen all the blocks that I'm used to on my desktop mac keyboard (which, incidentally measures 17" across) have gone.

    I can see why they have had to compromise like this on the 12" machine, but the 17" could have been far closer to the desktop layout, if not identical. Learning the new layout is certainly possible, and after a bit of use I'm sure it would feel 'just right', but why do I need to relearn when the extra space is there?
