Techno Tuesday is a comic drawn by Andy Rementer:

Andy Rementer is a creative person based in Philadelphia. He received a bachelors degree from The University of the Arts in 2004. From 2005 to 2007 he worked for Fabrica, while living in Treviso, a small town in northern Italy. He currently divides his time between graphic design, cartooning and illustration. […] Aside from doodling Andy enjoys Italian meals, playing the banjo and drinking coffee. (more)

From The New York Times:

““Exit” is billed as “a Banksy film,” but Banksy, the notoriously reclusive British street artist, appears only rarely, face hooded and voice distorted. Even so, it is Banksy whom audiences will come hoping to see, stimulated by the canopy of hype that this artist has carefully erected, in interviews and on the festival circuit. What they will find is, like Banksy’s best work, a trompe l’oeil: a film that looks like a documentary but feels like a monumental con.” (more)

“Minor Martin White (July 9, 1908 – June 24, 1976) was an American photographer born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. […] After serving in military intelligence during World War II, White moved to New York City in 1945. He spent two years studying aesthetics and art history at Columbia University under Meyer Schapiro and developing his own distinctive style. He became involved with a circle of influential photographers including Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, and Ansel Adams; hearing Stieglitz’s idea of “equivalents” from the master himself was crucial to the direction of White’s mature post-war work.” (wikipedia)

Minor White was John Clendenen favorite photographer when he took up photography.

Maybe. But the logic used in this argument is weak in at least two ways.

1) DSLR cameras, Point&Shoot cameras and Cameraphone are all compared here as devices capable of taking pictures and videos. How are desktop computers, laptops and iPads compared? As devices to surf the web? To do video editing? Graphic design? Reading eBooks? Writing a thesis?

2) Consider the latter : can an iPad replace the laptop for users who write a lot, and not just at home? I’d like to have more feedback about the iPad’s keyboard from someone who’s using it extensively (not just to write emails). I can’t help but think that somehow Gupta is suggesting that if you write a lot, you should stay home.
