Cory Doctorow: Bruce Sterling, attending a conference on the future of printing in New Jersey, has kept a running log of all the genuinely weird and futuristic things that the speakers have said there: "We're in the business of putting goo on a substrate." "We need a taxonomy for 'printing-that-is-no-longer-printing.'" "Your mega-customer, the anchor tenant in the mall of your dreams" "It's the business of killing trees and putting chemicals on them." "Baseball cards that suck in energy and run e-ink animated displays" "They're not hiding, they're just selective." Link
