I've seen a 3D printer in action and it was so amazing, actually seeing a complex shape literally come into being like something materializing out of a Star Trek transporter. But it was plastic. I wasn't aware this was possible...

I must be an anachronism. I prefer to listen to songs that reside on my phone, without streaming. I feel the same way about movies, which frequently look grainy when streamed. I always download to TiVo rather than streaming...

Mike, I'm a huge Spotify user and wonder how, or if, it would change if acquired by Google. And also, do you think Facebook would make a bid for Spotify? The two are already integrated with sign-in and share features. Why...
