Size may not be everything, but you could almost see Apple grow in stature at Macworld in San Francisco last week. Steve Jobs, who typically unveils one mystery product at the end of his keynote address, this time revealed a surprisingly large heap of new gear. Two dimension-conscious laptops grabbed headlines: the world's widest, with a 17-in. screen ($3,299, as carried by Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer) and the world's smallest, with a 12-in. screen ($1,799, endorsed by NBA giant Yao Ming).

...Those who dare to disagree with Paulin are “useless” and full of hatred? What is it that Mr. Paulin suggests we do with “useless people”? Should they too be shot and discarded like garbage on the trash-heap of history, as was done with Jews and others in concentration camps? If he is indeed a poet worth his salt, then surely he is aware of both the power and resonance of words, and, far from using them carelessly, brandishes them deliberately...
