Dear Wired,
Had Wired been around when Alexander Graham Bell asked Watson to join him from the other room via electrical current, would you have called it a flop because the sound quality was poor and he should have read Shakespeare instead?
Give Esquire a break. An E-Ink cover is brutally cool, regardless of the simplicity of the animation.
My guess? Either you’re in a snit because you, the technology magazine, didn’t do it first, or you’re bitter that you can’t get dates with the people who write for Esquire.
Just sayin’.
Regards,
ElectricRocket

You’re trapped with a bunch of geeks down there, aren’t you?
