To be fair, what I actually said was "glice is a raging pederast".

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 11.19.2010, 01:00 PM

I heard she was on the cover of the new issue of Maxim. I gotta get it! No doubt about it.

noisereductions · 11.19.2010, 01:01 PM

you ddint see it? its good

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 11.19.2010, 04:05 PM

Just picked it up. I had to go to 6 different stores, since everyone already replaced it with the new December issue. But I finally found it at a gas station. What a great shoot! She's looking damn good, I especially enjoy the new "FUCK" tattoo on the side of her rib cage. That's fucking hotter than hell!

VIDEO OF THE SHOOT:

I definitely don't agree with that. Books are a flawless format that are in no need for an 'update'.

ni'k · 11.19.2010, 04:50 PM

books do need updated. an e reader at the moment is a book that can hold thousands of books in one.

one e reader = 160 quid. i already have thousands of books for it.

the likes of me simply can't afford to buy those books.

what you're saying is that its somehow better for a book to be made out of paper and cardboard and only contain one book in it, that isn't changeable or updatable. that's madness. and i don't care if its like classic or you have some ludditte fetish for it or whatever. it still needs updated.

hypothetically take the technology to its peak. think about it. when eventually the descendant of todays e reader works on renewable energy and is made out of one or two pages of a film like sheet that you can roll up and put in your pocket, and you no longer have to pay for any books you can just get them all for free instantly. are you going to be saying then that "this is shit. i want my book printed on thousands of pieces of paper in ink, then i want it bound in cardboard."

that would make no sense.

i can't afford to pay up to a tenner for 1 book. who the hell can afford that anymore?

ni'k · 11.19.2010, 05:00 PM

really the whole point is to just gas everybody and buy me a kindle. that's all im asking.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 11.19.2010, 05:09 PM

I can definitely see your point ni'k. I mean, why not have as many books as you want at once on one device? It was only a matter of time before these pocket .pdf readers came out. Some people read more than one book at once, and a gadget like this is absolutely perfect for their means.

BUT, there is something undeniably romantic about physically holding a book in your hands, and manually flipping the pages. That old book (or new book) smell... no eReader could ever truly replicate that.

It's the same reason why I still track down the original cartridges of my favorite SNES games, even though I have a laptop with an emulator, access to more ROMs than I could ever want, and even a USB SNES controller replica. It's still just not the same.

The same argument applies to why I buy DVD versions of films I already have on my hard drive, or why so many users on here insist that vinyl will never truly be replaced.

ni'k · 11.19.2010, 05:14 PM

i knew someone was gonna say that crap haha.

however - e readers are lighter than most books - at least the new ones are. also they have their own smell. also i don't want to replicate anything about old books. i don't have the time. too much to read.

but yes, i do get what you're saying, as long as people who think that get that the rest of us can't afford to pay for your romantic ludditism and we need cheap small light efficient e readers. of course they can't replicate certain aspects of a book, but then who needs to. the book experience as we know it now is just one that will be lost in time. no point holding onto it now.
