...netbook - toward the netbook end - and more than sufficient unto the day. The iPad is thin: half an inch (1.25 cm) at its thickest. It's light: 1.5 lb. (680 g), half of what a MacBook Air weighs. It runs a scaled-up version of the iPhone operating system we know and love or at least tolerate. To make up for the lack of a keyboard or mouse, the display is a lovely touchscreen that's so superbright and supercrisp that it looks bigger than its real dimensions - 9.7 in.

...with Harvard considering sweeping restructuring of its library system and reexamining its capacity for expansion, the University may be forced to rely even more heavily on less tangible means of  materials collection—including at off-campus sites such as the Depository. With shelf space running dry in Cambridge, the Depository is a critical component of Harvard’s vision of the modern library, whose holdings are first found online rather than on the shelves themselves...

...past. And then an extraordinary thing happened: the shura turned into the sort of town-council meeting that you'd see anywhere in the world. One of the elders stood and presented a list of requests - more schools, a decent hospital, paved roads, repair of the irrigation system. "We don't need you to cooperate with the work," the elder concluded. "We know how to work...
