I hate paper books. I don’t know why. Some people love them, tell them they smell good, feel nice, love to put them on a shelf, stroke them, sniff and do other deeds that I classify under “papyrus-porn.” I have never been one of them. One of the reasons is that for the longest time I…

If you were worried about the NSA sniffing…

Somehow the logic escapes me that our “mobile devices” ever need to be connected with a “Cable” to our laptops or workstations.
