When you have a very fine essay by Larry Sanger (of all people) about the dangers of coder-geek
anti-intellectualism, you go with it. (And then you link to your own column dealing with some of the same issues, mostly because you still love the headline you wrote for it, “The Gadget in the Gray Flannel Suit.”)

Hidden vengeance
Here’s a truly amazing and heartwarming revenge story — one that seems almost too good to be true — about a guy who essentially forced the police to arrest the person who stole his Macbook, using the an app called Hidden and the camera on the laptop to catch the alleged perpetrator. (I haven’t reported this out but am posting off a Facebook item by Jeremy Mullman, a former journalist whom I trust. Let me know if you hear anything about it actually being too good to be true, which I severely doubt.)
