...What a brilliant piece of writing from Lev Grossman. I don't yet own an iPhone, but I plan to in the near future. Like Grossman, I'm sick of the sour grapes from naysayers who moan about what the iPhone doesn't do and ignore what it does do and just how well it does it. I hate my conventional cell phone with its 100-page, four-language manual that I can't begin to understand. I've used the iPhone without having to look at the manual.

But here he chats freely with the Coen brothers, who have a tendency to finish each other's sentences. Time's LEV GROSSMAN was invited to observe. The conversation took place in a fancy hotel room with stunning views of Central Park in early autumn. Nobody glanced out the window even once...
...Wooed by a Worm Lev Grossman wrote that the Storm Worm "may be the most sophisticated" computer virus, called it "a marvel of social engineering" and further admired it for its longevity and mutability [Oct. 8]. He needs to rub the dazzle from his eyes. What if the authors of the virus are functionaries for China, Russia or a Middle Eastern country testing the efficacy of new software? Rather than praising the prowess of the worm's creators, Grossman should be admonishing the security industry to shut down the Storm Worm before it shuts down the Internet. Peter Sims...
