MAC-HEADS, BEWARE!

Dear Mac-heads.

When this author and others with me have declared that the PC is dying, and that the laptop will eventually follow suit as we enter The Age of Pads, you may have been thinking: "Oh, the Microsoft PC, the MS laptop, sure, but not my iMac, not my iBook."

Well, you were wrong.

There is no stopping cloud computing. Soon you will all be wearing pads, we will all be carrying pads - though mine will run on Windows 7 - and hopefully some time in the future on LINUX.

But don't just take my word for it. As usual Fake Steve Jobs (Daniel Lyons) is right on the spot: Apple and (the real) Steve Jobs are fast leaving everything that made you love them. Read it and weep.

Sorry.

TREES SHOULD BE EXUBERANTLY HAPPY (environmentalists too, even all you paperomantics)

In accordance with what I have written before, saluting the demise of print and hailing the era of electronic reading, here's a clue for all you paperomantics out there, who are still clinging to your futile hope of the survival of the printed book and the newsPAPER: Shift your focus, rejoice in the death of paper.

The positive climate effect should be your new perspective. Be progressive - eBook and ePaper ftw! Here's why; Lynn Hesselberger sums it up: 100 million trees - in the US only.

For my own country Norway, the no. 1 newspaper-reading country in the world, the figures should be appr. 2 % of the American numbers.

Spruce and fir, be happy.
