There can be no doubt that, from the moment we roll out of bed to the screeching of our alarm (on a clock, on an iPhone, from a radio) until the moment we close our eyes again (having put down our book, our laptop, our TV remote) we are surrounded by more objects, each begging [...]

To observe the thirtieth birthday of the Sony Walkman, BBC News Magazine persuaded a thirteen year old iPod user—reared with the coddling comforts of touchscreens and 10,000 song playlists—to trade his player in for its stark ancestor.

Lifehacker reports that Microsoft is considering shipping Windows 7 on tiny flash drives instead of discs.
