David Pogue of The New York Times has posted his review of Apple's new Leopard operating system.

David Pogue writes on what he finds completely illogical about the tech industry - the questions no one seems to know the answer to, or will not answer for unnamed reasons:

* Who are the morons who respond to junk-mail offers, thereby keeping spammers in business?

* Why do you have to take tape camcorders out of your carry-on at airport security, but not the tapeless kind? Couldn’t you hide a bomb equally well in either one? (Actually, I have about 500 more logic questions about the rules at airport security, but I have a feeling they’ll remain answerless for a very long time.)

* Why don’t public sinks have foot pedals?

I used to wonder about the junk-mail question myself until my very own friend, whom I had pegged as a more tech-savvy individual, called me in panic after clicking on a phishing e-mail wondering what would happen to his computer. Suffice it to say I was disappointed but tried to offer the help I could over the phone.
