The HP TouchSmart – This looks pretty cool. I believe this is the first serious attempt somebody has made at a desktop PC with a touch interface, by which I mean the first with an interface designed around touch rather than just Windows with handwriting recognition bolted on. Obviously HP has learned a lot from watching Apple in the past few years—product design, advertisement design, definitely not typeface choice—but if HP can pull this off (I have my doubts; HP is not known for their software design, and software is critical here) I think this will be an interesting and innovative first step towards whatever the next generation of desktop UI will look like. Even if the TouchSmart sucks and fails miserably, it’ll be an interesting first attempt at this space.

And the opinions - well, hell, everybody has opinions. Getting to say them on national television does not make you special.

ADAM: Paradise has arbitrary dietary restrictions?
DEVIL: They’re really more like guidelines.
GOD: Incorrect.

Paradise Lost in three lines or less

I used to read McSweeney’s religiously. Now I remember why.
