The more I see devices like the new Apple iPad, the more I come to appreciate Steven Spielberg’s 2002 sci-fi spectacular “Minority Report.” It was the first thing I thought of when I saw video of the company’s newest “magical” creation and executives demonstrating its New York Times app. The app seamlessly integrated video content with the usual Grey Lady font and text. With a finger-tap on multi-touch screen, video boxes pop up to enhance what you’re reading on the iPad, and all done within the stylistic confines we’ve come to know and appreciate with the Times.
