Late last week an airplane over eastern Russia went down for a crash landing after experiencing a fuel leak. Hours later a young teenager emerged from the wreckage, amazingly his laptop and portable mini-printer went unharmed. In order to flag down the rescue teams to save his life from the freezing cold, the young man needed to use printer paper to use as part of a torch to light fires for warmth and create smoke signals. You know what was on that paper? PRINTED COPIES OF EVENING READING. Yes, ER saves lives.

Lastly, maybe we've seen the end of all those increidbly stupid IPOs? Ok not yet but its nice to see that the web is finally thinning out a bit.
