Generally, yes.
If at all possible, record the interview with a tape recorder (or even with the laptop if you have the ability) and then type it up later.

Yes and no. Some companies will take notes during interviews, either using a laptop or other means to record what the interviewees were saying for future reference/decision making. This is needed especially when a company is hiring a large pool of workers or they simply want to make a sound decision in recruiting the best worker they can find.

I tend to make interviews a bit more informal and relaxed. I get more insight to the real person that I'm interviewing. Taking notes with a laptop strikes me as very impersonal and it detaches you from the situation. My management style is based on personal relationships with the people I work with, and it starts at the interview. : )

If the notes are relevant to the job candidate, not at all. The candidate for employment would be wise to take a few notes also on what you are saying about your company. As a professional business courtesy , the candidate and you should ask if it would be OK .

NOPE! It is not rude to take notes when interviewing a person. Because you'll need those notes if you are doing an essay on that person.

no, you can do what you like when you are interviewing someone.
However it is rude for potential staff members to watch the computer while at a job interview.

You should ask the person which they prefer, and come prepared with legal pad and pens if they don't like the laptop idea. Some people would really, really hate it!

Only if you don't ask permission. When I've done an interview, I used a tape recorder, but I asked permission to record it.

Yes, it makes the person who you are speaking to, uncomfortable and aware of what they are saying, making the situation which is already stressful, more stressful. A Dictaphone would be more appropriate..
