Paul Graham on the "messages" sent by different cities (Urban) in terms of what its inhabitants have Ambition for. New York tells you, above all: you should make more money. There are other messages too, of course. You should be hipper. You should be better looking. But the clearest message is that you should be richer...

Steve Gillmor on the promise of the TabletPC as "idea processor" (Thinking Space). And what's the Killer App? Ink is an idea processor. It provides a unique service, the ability to capture ideas in process and massage them into shape. Its target market - CxOs, architects, and creative types - offers an infinite return on investment.

Having a wireless Keyboard (especially something as portable as the Stowaway or that projected Virtual Keyboard) would be cool. Likewise having an option to have drawing objects turned into nicely rounded items (e.g. you scribble an oval, it turns into a Mind Mapping node). (more)
