...reporters set to talk with victims' family members. We will know the instant McVeigh's death is declared. And already, we are seeing and hearing his crime and victims and their life stories recapitulated, his final acts catalogued, the mechanics of his end detailed (an MSNBC 3-D graphic took viewers on a God's-eye tour of the death chamber, complete with a little digital lethal-injection chair), his interviews replayed, his remaining hours and minutes counted down...
Based on George Orwell's "1984," Ted Rall's ambitious new graphic novel, "2024" (NBM Publishing; 96 pages; $16.95), imagines the near future as controlled by a corporate totalitarianism rather than a socialist one.

...going on in Taejon, at the Korea Research Institute, is a very basic example of what could be the most interactive technology of the future: brain-computer interfaces. Early computers were controlled by cardboard punch cards; the first PCs demanded typed DOS commands; the mouse gave us a graphic interface.

MTV Live will let you select characters and write dialogue for short videos. Would-be maestros can mix and submit music to serenade MTV Live presenters. The new channel will also...
...point. After all, I'm jotting down his words in my notebook, not keying them into a computer. And unlike reporters, many people need more than words to express themselves: architects, engineers, graphic designers, artists. Sure, you can "draw" on graphics tablets, but these are no real substitute for pen and paper. Then there's the two-thirds of the world that doesn't use the Roman alphabet. You can get keyboards in Chinese and Hindi, but speed is a problem if you have to hit several keys to make a single character. Writing is intuitive, natural...
