> "clues about their political views based on their choices of reading material" This is exactly why I put Karl Marx next to F a Hayek. It's like a social logic bomb.

I'd pay a bit for a kit to upgrade a Cinema Display to 5K. I"m writing on a Cinema Display right now. It's a fantastic display with great design, but needs a resolution bump.
