CLAP ON: A bow is in order in the direction of Mobile PC magazine on the occasion of the pub's list of The Top 100 Gadgets of All Time. What given the source you would think would be a dry look at advances in, well, Mobile PCs and their ilk, is instead an immensley readable and enjoyable look at gadgetdom from the revolutionary (Powerbooks, Palms, Ipods, the first remote control, the first mouse, and digital camera) to the plain goofy (the Clapper, Magic 8-Ball, Rubik's Cube) to the ancient (the abacus and sextant). Both informative and intriguing, it's lists like this that make suffering though every VH1's 50 Smoothest Easy Listening Moments for our art worthwhile.
