"50 cents, 75 in Canada." They still print covers like that? That's gonna need updating.
TED 2008: Crow vending machine maker Joshua Klein

I've lived in NYC for some 40 years and have definitely noticed that crows seem to be the new pigeons.
They are definitely smart and very social. I have seen them on several occasions in the last few years ganging (mobbing?) up on hawks, which have also become plentiful around here.
As I think of it, while I suspect the pigeon population is being reduced by crows in NYC, I think the environment is cleaner and improves the food supply for both (though I'm sure some of the crow food supply is pigeons...) But I'm no biologist.

Awww, it's cute. Maybe I'm seeing what I want to see, but something about the styling reminds me of my HP Omnibook 800CT. Kinda neat that they would maintain that essence after so many years.
Behemoth printer is practically a wall

I assume this sort of device is designed for high volume, round-the-clock industrial printing. But imagine a version of this kind of device that was designed instead for lower volume, but low latency and could print a full book on demand.
Such a device could be the future of book stores and libraries.
A library with something like this would be amazing. It could print anything in the public domain at will. You wouldn't even have to bring back the copy, since libraries wouldn't be physical book repositories.
And instead of mostly stocking best-sellers, bookstores could truly stock the "long tail" and compete with Amazon, printing whatever the rights-owners were willing to license.
