That is the real question.
I think that they were just being "kind" to include a little "piece of mind" that YES, in fact there will be newspapers out there still in 10 years... dont worry Clark Kent, you'll still have a job.

Honestly though, I know it's a little off topic (sort of) but, the whole newspaper thing. I encourage reading, i really do. Newspapers are:

1) dirty
2) end up as trash
3) wasting resources at a larger rate than most of the other sources of information

NON-POST CRAPPING EDIT: Yes, I agree. I read online too. Books or long stories are a little different for me though, need a physical entity

given the above, that aspect of this whole Microsoft brand future, it might help our "going green."

the wireless touch-screen newspaper would definitely help keep that nasty ink off of your fingers, arms, and coffee table. but i don't know how well the electronic newspaper will work for cleaning off mirrors.


somewhat related side note: i really don't like wireless and/or touch-screen things. wireless things are easy to loose (for me anyway :/) and touch-screens just frustrate me.

the touch-screen frustration comes from working at a restaurant for the last year or so (but i was laid off recently) and having to learn and then somehow understand a POS system. i never understood why people called it a Piece Of S*** system, until i worked with one.
