I think he used to sport a mustache which make him look older.

Several months ago, I thought that transcripts were being "worked on".

Has anything happened on that front? I'd really like to see what Herb Sutter has to say, but it's much more convenient for me to read it than watch a video.

Bill Hill - Do you think anyone is going to read a book on the screen?

For me, I think it is the "form factor".

It's so very convenient to take a book/magazine/newspaper to the "library" or to bed.

And it's just so easy to use one of these "devices" compared to a laptop (although I haven't tried a TabletPC). And such "devices" stand up to a lot of abuse, and even if they do get damaged, it's cheap to replace them.
