• $399 - You're kidding. Right?
  For that, I can get a full blown laptop, on which I can do *anything* - not just read books.
  
  Did someone's head fall off? Does any rational person really not understand why these readers aren't adopted?
  
  Here's the solution for adoption for all of those idiotic products. Put the decimal point after the second digit, as in $39.99. THEN I'll buy it, and not before. In reply to: "Amazon debuts Kindle e-book reader"

• My machine. My rules.
  I bought it. I control it. End of story.
  
  Don't like it? TFB. Control by 3rd parties isn't even theoretically possible without a world dictatorship (Somehow I don't think we're doing that for the music companies).
  
  Techno-peasant lawyers and MBAs don't get this. No matter. Reality is the best teacher.

• And what *kind* of jobs are we talking here?
  Tech support? QA? Development? Or putting the boxes under executive's desks and making them work?

• Baloney
  Know *that* American expression?
  
  Listen, I really don't *care* about macroeconomic justifications couched in obfuscated English, if the net result is, "I'm screwed."
  
  As far as I'm concerned, you're the enemy. Plain and simple. Put that in your sophomoric macroeconomic pipe and smoke it.

• It's a SECURITY RISK
  Yes, we lose our jobs too. Worse, we're giving away the technology store to people who don't particularly like us (Pakistan, Malaysia - both largely Muslim countries).
  
  We won in Iraq on technology. Is ANYONE naive enough to believe that the technology we're giving away will not be used against us?
  
  Or does it just not matter if you're rich enough, since there's always another country to move to?
