The LA Times reports that laptops have finally edged ahead of desktop computers in sales.

Faster, cheaper technology is behind the most sweeping change the computer industry has seen in a generation. Buying a computer that can be spirited away in a briefcase or backpack no longer requires a big sacrifice in performance, storage or money. ... The surge in laptop sales is also fueled by the pervasiveness of wireless networks in homes and public hangouts. Having Internet connections everywhere makes laptops much more useful.

I like how this is all reported in a tone of amazement. Is there anybody out there who hasn't wandered into a Starbucks filled with people furiously tapping away on laptops? ESPECIALLY in LA?
