My problem with Johann Hari was more prosaic. Whenever he wrote about a topic which I had professional knowledge of (which, as he was a left-leaning journalist, was often), he wrote utter tosh. I am looking at a typical example, when he accuses the Tories of studying a particular welfare model, ignoring the fact that it had been very thoroughly studied and drawn on by Labour previously, and then goes on to (I hope not willfully) misunderstand benefits public spending, implying that expenditure on income replacement benefits is far lower than it actually is. This is not the standard journalistic flaw of failing to note details correctly; his entire column is built on the facts he doesn't understand. I am not sure that any sort of journalism ethics course would help with that.

Touch screen: I want the roll-up keyboard like in Star Trek please.

Song dataset: I didn't even know this dataset existed! Also, minor fail on the results being entirely images; means I can't search to see if the code found White Rabbit.

I think the transparent film touch screen thing typifies where I think a lot of economic growth is going to come from over the next couple of decades as we meander through the current* Kondratieff wave. The technology is way cool but like the author of the article I’m struggling to think of useful things to do with it. I think we’ll spend a lot of time over the next twenty years finding useful things to do with things we’ve already invented by bolting them together.

*Current that is if you believe in them or on the other hand think we may be having more than one at the same time this time round.
