“ For those of you blessed with senile amnesia or youth, CD-ROMs were the first wave of “interactive media” in the mid-eighties, and the great hope for publishing houses struggling to understand what it might be doing in the 21st century. ”
Danny O’Brien: cd-roms and ipads. And that’s just the introduction to an amusing and insightful post.

“ I have meant to use Galambosianism as an example of the dangers of too much IP protectionism for several years, but sadly his defence of his property was so complete that his ideas are utterly obscure and his name so unremembered that it’s been hard to be able to find anything to cite. ”
Danny O’Brien on my much more shameful, and unfortunately less secret, secret shame - being a libertarian. This sentence is wonderful.
