POPSThe ShotSpotter <a href="http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/contribute/sn/persona?User=overeduc8ed">overeduc8ed </a>wrote: Uhh -- what was with the quote about the officer who arrived on the scene and immediately killed a suspect who "attempted to flee"? Was that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing? Aren't cops generally *not* supposed to shoot people in the back, especially when they are only "allegedly" armed and the only evidence is that they took off running? I understand that cops can get scared as hell too and appreciate the job they do for us, but the quote just seemed like a bad example. Or maybe it's just bad writing...

POPSElectronic Paper The Holy Grail of electronic ink technology is a digital book that can typeset itself and that readers could leaf through just as if it were made of regular paper. Such a book could be programmed to display the text from Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea," and once you've finished that tale, you could automatically replace it by wirelessly downloading a different book. You may be able to alternate between 10 books or more. Your newspaper would be impacted greatly. No more paper boy. Just download the Wall Street Journal to your EPD.
