It's too bad the MacBook doesn't have the camera in the spine

...like some of those handheld stylus-using devices do.

Because I'm sitting here in a cafe in Cambridge, and over the top of my laptop screen I can see this nice-looking woman of advanced age, with pearls and a shirt that my mom would call a blouse, reading a novel, who is totally fellating the straw in her iced beverage. And has been doing so continually for about 10 minutes.

(Don't worry, I would blur the face in the video before posting it. And I do have my iPhone, which of course shoots stealth photos -- and is handy for looking at people's outfits or books or whatever with them thinking you're just staring at your screen -- but a still shot just wouldn't capture this, and this model iPhone doesn't shoot video.)
