It's crazy-brave, but the nerdish dad seems to be titillated by these encounters. Crossing over, Rudd last week took his club act to the safer, anesthetized realm of morning television to grab the oldies.

A Jobs subnotebook would likely be bigger than FlipStart's but smaller than a laptop. Apple would have a distinct software advantage, given its focus...
Gibson's success has been seen as a vindication of old-fashioned gravitas over flash. Which is fair enough; Gibson is a trustworthy anchor heading a good, consistent newscast--Sanka to Couric's espresso. But while he may have struck a blow for TV's past, his success and Couric's struggle may not be the best sign for the evening news' future...
