@Michael: This layout is ugly, yes.

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> This is pretty slick...but you have to admit, it's very impractical.

I've never heard of newseum but at my school's library we use a site called PressDisplay.com (http://pressdisplay.com).

It's pretty much the same concept...100s of newspapers from around the world and you can see all the thumbnails for the front pages, etc.

They gave all of us a free promo code for the site, not sure if it works but it's worth a shot...when registering, indicate that you have a promo code and enter "NEWS4FREE" then press redeem.

cheers

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> i agree with dave. its innovative, useless maybe, but cool nonetheless. lets just give the guy who put the time in to make this a high five.

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> It's a goddamn mod and it's apple based, for a change. Welcome to the world of modding. Nice custom job. The rest of youse naysayers ... get a culture. This is a clever conceit. One world and all that crap ....

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> instead of the homeless selling the newspapers I think they will be offering a nice 17" monitor instead.

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> Yeah, but will it display the local penny saver? Yeah uh huh, what a piece of shit..lol No seriously though, one of the most innovative things i have seen in quite some time.

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> Yeah but, can you play D00M on it?

Brian B

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> Yeah, but a newspaper is usually yesterday's news, right? I don't know about his source material, but to "newspaperify" CNN or Reuters internet feed would be better in my opinion.

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> This will make it a lot harder for the homeless to steal all the newspapers and resell them on the street.

On the other hand, homeless hackers will have a field day.

It's a cool idea that seems almost there. Let's say you see an interesting headline and you want to read more, then what? Add a remote control and a projector to display the paper on the wall behind it and you've got something.

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> I'm getting to hate you people... I see a great, cool looking gadget, read the writeup, read your comments, and BAM! I realize that it just has no useful application. Maybe in my library? Why? We already have over 100 public PCs. Oh well. Awsome custom job anyway.

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> would be cool to see these on the streets. But then again they would be torn apart and tagged and pissed on like the ones i pass on market street every day. *sighs*

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> @discounteggroll: It really isn't.

Collins1990

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> Seems like overkill. Just get the paper delivered.

Collins1990

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> that is...the coolest F'ing thing ever. I'd take that over an iPhone any day

]]> <![CDATA[The Digital Newsstand]]> touchscreen for coverflow-like scrolling would make this twice as cool as it is, bringing it up to "almost cool".
