My predicition: moving magazine cover pictures.

For years I've been saying we would soon see magazines and books with animated front covers, maybe even inside pages at a later date.

Now I read that Fujitsu have invented the FLEPia: http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/ebooks/f...ey-say-console-reader-we-say-ebook-253921.php

Seems like we won't have long to wait.

I'm looking forward to "film substrate-based bendable color electronic paper featuring image memory function".
Amongst other things.
I was always keen on the "dialectic integration of opposites" as proposed by Hegel. And on being magically banished to Provence to endlessly ride my bike in the sunshine. And on buying a copy of Cycling that wasn't exactly the same as one I purchased in 1984.

If ever an opening line were to put me off reading an article it is this one:

"Two years ago, Fujitsu announced that it had come up with the world's first film substrate-based bendable color electronic paper featuring image memory function..."

Ah, that's where I went wrong. Reading it. I see.

That sort of bling will be superceded by downloadable mags and books before they get off the ground.

It's already happened. Esquire did an edition in the states that had an E-ink panel on the cover.

To be fair, there are two major differences now.

Firstly, GB cyclists win an awful lot, and the racing in Britain is flourishing.

Secondly, the comic doesn't report results in any meaningful way anymore.
