This is a great point. I'd bet more people are tapping links instead of clicking them. Also, does this finally get rid of "double click" as a euphemism for going deeper on a topic? Probably not.

Good read on one of the most interesting characters in tech debate. As someone who used to read the housing bubble blogs like Calculated Risk back in 2005 /2006 (i.e. before the bubble burst), there's a similar vibe with @edzitron.com - and maybe he'll be proven right.

Time for my regular reminder.
You are *NEVER* begging the question. You are raising the question. I promise you that if you always use "raising" instead of "begging" you will always be right. And if you find someone that points out you are actually begging the question? Marry that grammarian.

Southwest Gate Agent: We don’t have enough checked bags on this flight. You’ll need to check them.
Hmmmm. So instead of paying $50 for a bag you can just bring it to the gate for free? Wonder if Elliott factor this into their revenue projections
