...counties alone, bankruptcy filings have increased 379%, spiking from 4,210 in 2006, the peak of the housing boom, to 20,193 in 2009. Nationally, more than 1.4 million business and consumer bankruptcy petitions were filed in 2009, up 32% from the 2008 figure, and Samuel J. Gerdano, executive director of the American Bankruptcy Institute, says the number of consumer filings (Chapter 7 and 13) in 2010 will likely surpass those in 2009. If the just-released March numbers are any indication, Gerdano is probably right...

(For the record, I am the news director of both TIME and TIME.com, but the nature of breaking news means that most of my day is spent making sure the website gets fed with stories.) With the publishing industry in a depression, Apple's latest innovation (or feat of technological repackaging) has been hailed as a potential savior: the entry point for print to become a whole new medium while preserving its essential identity. Since TIME's iPad app was also...
...instant gratification. Even on a more mundane level, you don't get instant gratification with the iPad. By the end of that night, I decided to rent a couple of movies. But you can't just do so and watch in an instant. Forty-five minutes after ordering the director's cut of Donnie Darko, I gave up and went to sleep, letting that movie and Dune (yes, I'm a geek) download throughout the night. But you know what?
