Thomas Bøhm´s blog about convergent technology, design and æsthetics, lifehacking, and the occasional maniacal rant.
I tell people that if it’s in the news, don’t worry about it. The very definition of ‘news’ is ‘something that hardly ever happens.’ It’s when something isn’t in the news, when it’s so common that it’s no longer news — car crashes, domestic violence — that you should start worrying.

The human mind delights in finding pattern—so much so that we often mistake coincidence or forced analogy for profound meaning. No other habit of thought lies so deeply within the soul of a small creature trying to make sense of a complex world not constructed for it.

Tablet devices that are just for viewing magazines have an audience the size of Darlington Football Club. The iPhone has typified a trend towards convergence of devices: my iPhone is my mp3 player, phone, camera, portable computer, and on the very rare occasion gaming device. So why would I buy a piece of chunky hardware to view magazines now-and-again?

I so agree about the current tsunami of pure “e-readers”.
