Um, I think they stole the space diaper/toilet idea from Anathem space suit technology. Seriously.

Re: Orbit's $1 e-books

Nice, but apparently DRM'ed. At least this month, the choices are Kindle, Mobipocket & Sony. I'll keep an eye on them to see if they offer anything that will drag a dollar out of my pocket for something with DRM - but the bar there is pretty high.
