@Mr. Bean: iTunes? Have YOU heard of the RIAA?

@Zanzan42: That's like saying we wouldn't have been able to save lives without the oh-so-valuable practice of blood-letting.

@minibeardeath: I suggest a machine at the local library that allows us to have printed copies made on-site for a fee.

@jbboehr: Despite the fact that the article here nor the article at the jump mentions anything about replication, let's assume that they have the best replication in the world - for the sake of getting to a larger problem....

@JustTee: Paper copies sound harder to control. They can be hidden, transferred and used by anyone without electricity or a computer.

Will the library allow an unlimited number of a book to be checked out simultaneously?

@VoidingWarranties: That's nice...assume facts not in evidence when your arguments fail.

@VoidingWarranties: " That's like saying a library fire could wipe out most of humanity's knowledge as well."

@Naquiel: More bamboo and hemp planting and use would help to stop global warming by using the carbon dioxide to create the fiber we need for paper, books, wood floors, etc.. they grow faster than trees and recover more CO2 than trees.

Great. In a few years a single virus could wipe out most of humanity's knowledge.

Thank you for this very informative post for the Giz readers that need medical devices like this!

If his wife designed the Jitterbug, what's the problem?

Women?

Great! Now the laws of physics are broken!

@sloanstrife: Its just that we should know that we don't really know anything by now.

When are we going to stop fooling ourselves and call them "theories of physics" instead of "laws"?

Ironic isn't it? Seeing as the iPhone's antenna is also burning Steve Job's ass.

I hope they don't come with those annoying little app ads like in my iPhone.

That's appropriate.

@BLACKHAWK: Not a damned thing.
