... want to read another funny analogy for this challenge?
"Imagine that you're riding on the local urban underground
railway. It's the morning commute, and the train is packed.
The stranger next to you flips methodically through the Times
Tribune Chronicle in a way that lands half of the paper in
your lap. You want to teach this space invader a lesson.
So you tear the paper from her grasp, ball it into a mass,
and squeeze with the transformative might of Superman until
the lump is shaped into a perfectly readable, rectangular
object that can be held comfortably in one hand.
This is similar to the challenge of designing content for
the PalmPilot."
