...latest MacBook laptops remove buttons from the trackpad entirely; users click either with a tap of the finger or by pressing the entire trackpad down. The first iPod had five buttons; the current iPod Touch and iPhone have just two. Apple's even expanding the battlefield to its stores - the elevator in the Tokyo Apple Store has no buttons; it simply stops on every floor...
...Tuesday, Apple unveiled a number of improvements to its mobile operating system, which will only hasten old media's move to the post-Web world.

Once my roommate secured...
...sharpest challenges yet to China's stifling attempts at Internet censorship comes in the form of a lowly alpaca. Actually, the alpaca-like creature starring in online videos and lining Chinese store toy shelves is a mythical "grass-mud horse" - whose name in Chinese sounds just like a vulgar expression involving a sex act and, well, your mother. Bawdy as it may seem, an Internet children's song about the animal, full of lewd homophones, has emerged as a galvanizing protest against the Communist government's efforts to ban "subversive" material - political dissent, most importantly - from the web.
