Some of their more amusing / revealing / interesting questions were:

2. Do you sometimes bring your laptop when you sit on the toilet?

Just for the record, I do not. But, I know people who do, and let’s face it – that’s why the iPhone was invented in the first place.

8. Have you ever changed vacation plans based on wi-fi availability?

Well, technically yes, I have done that. But it was deciding between two capsule hotels, and I was going to be there for a week for a tech conference. I think that’s justified.

10. If your house were on fire, would you run in to rescue your laptop?

I have sort of done this already. Fire alarms are a regular feature of KAUST, and one day we saw smoke coming from the building we were in as one went off. Ben and I looked at each other for 2 or 3 seconds, then both immediately grabbed our laptops and dashed out. In all fairness, most of my work is on there (I’m doing more off-site backups for the important stuff), and it’s the only computer I have in this country. What is life without computer?

35. Do you tweet or read blogs while watching movies at home?

Well, I do play Tetris. That’s my tech meditation time.
