An excerpt from the article--

"To understand the new big thing in publishing, the magic that promises to move put-upon paper pushers from the back of the digital bandwagon into the driver’s seat, you do what the lady said: Just put your lips together and … blow.

Specifically, you do that to your Apple iPad in the middle of chapter four of Our Choice, an app built from the bones of a recent book on global warming by former U.S. vice-president Al Gore. Then watch as the little windmill pictured on the screen starts spinning."
