…is my love for theory war; to the death!
@psychemedia: Ipad isn’t for geeks’n’techies, “it just works”. Got that? “It just works”. It brings digital goods to folk who don’t use or want a computer # “A (personal) computer in every home”. Probably not. A TV in every home? Pretty much. An ipad in every home? Something like it…...

A quick guide to the maxims of new media →
“We journalism/new media nerds like to think of ourselves as being pretty open, but we can be a bit clannish at times: We close ranks to defend a few core principles, we have our own hierarchy of gurus and we use our own set of words and phrases.
