Dr. Faustus

Even though I nominate this name (the blog title) for the new bot (see editor's note at the bottom of the link), I still want Apple to get on the new intravenus grandchildren of the MacPro:

"I think the use of this sort of technology is like any other technology in the sense that it is subject to the desires, for better or worse, of the people with the ability to make use of it," Friend said. "In light of human history I wouldn't be surprised to see the entire gambit from dystopia to utopia played out in miniature here. Even so, I remain optimistic."

And yet still, the choice of stopping the momentum of modernity seems worse than the dystopian edge we hazard (the former downfall is a certainty, the latter a probabilty/possibility)... so long as we struggle against it as we go along.
