Does it bother anyone else that everyone in this podcast can’t talk and breathe at the same time? They talk so fast and then take a deep breath because they are out of breath. I don’t know why but while I’m listening to the podcast, I just start to pay attention their breathing rather than what they’re saying. I do like the podcast, keep it up, but you guys need to slow down and not take a deep breath after every sentence you speak, or at lease not in the mic.
Love the show!

Re: In response to Amazon’s remote deletion of 1984 and Animal Farm
Hi there,
Saw you’d written about the Amazon / 1984 flap, and I thought you might be interested in the petition we launched yesterday:
http://defectivebydesign.org/amazon1984
We have over 1400 signatures already, and signers include Lawrence Lessig, Clay Shirky, Cory Doctorow and other notable authors, librarians, and scholars.
The petition opens:
“We believe in a way of life based on the free exchange of ideas, in which books have and will continue to play a central role. Devices like Amazon’s are trying to determine how people will interact with books, but Amazon’s use of DRM to control and monitor users and their books constitutes a clear threat to the free exchange of ideas.”
Please have a look, and if you support the cause or think it would be interesting to your readers, a blog post would be great!
Thanks,
