They teach you this on Sesame Street: You have to either give it to the police to hold for 30 days or report it to the management of the place you found it.

Whoa, Sesame Street must have gotten some serious steroids since I last watched it. I'll guess that Oscar is now an ex-con, Bert has filed a restraining order against Ernie, and probably the Count got deported.

iBooks supports ePub, and you can add your own books via iTunes. I've got a couple of the free Baen books in my iPad's library already.
A large number of Gutenberg's collection are in the iBooks bookstore for free (often with automated formatting), but you can get them directly from Gutenberg if you like.

Comment mgHz (Score 1) 655

Nah, milligram-Hertz (mgHz) is an esoteric unit, typically used colloquially to express the efficiency of a processor - the weight of the processor multiplied by its clock-rate.

By definition, it's the amount of energy it takes to oscillate a milligram at one hertz:
350 mgHz will vibrate 350 mg at 1 Hz, or 1mg at 350Hz equally.
350 mgHz may be expressed as 0.35 gHz (not to be confused with GHz).

As such, I believe that the OP has misplaced the decimal. It's more expected to see something along the lines of 3.5e+12 mgHz.
