I am guessing that the next Kindle will be a lot more like the Nexus than the current version of the Kindle. Amazon really rushed that first version out but I think that they can, and will, do better this go 'round.

Come on, folks. It's a reasonable question. He is going to two large states and is asking about coverage. There is no need to ridicule him for his request. If you can't answer it or are not interested than move on. I doubt SlashDot would have posted it had they thought it wasn't a reasonable request.

Good explanation. Wish I could mod you up but you'll be at 5 in a few minutes anyway.

I am a weather enthusiast and even have a fairly popular (though local) website. I've read a great deal about how warming/cooling works and I cannot come to a conclusion that any warming/cooling is any more than a cyclical climate change but I also cannot say that's it's not at least partly anthropogenic. I wish I could find more dispassionate reporting about how any current, global, climate change is occurring. A lot of what I read is very one-sided. Both sides of this argument cherry pick scientific data/evidence to support their opinion.

I have been waiting for this for some time. I want to be able to use any machine I am at to teach basic electronics and this makes the circuit simulator portable.

I am not an Apple fan, and, actually, dislike the company. However, I wonder if they are truly making claims that are not true or if their claims are simply carefully worded to convey, well, nothing. Apple seems to big and way too self-important to risk the scandal of an outright lie. It reminds me of how they handled the antennae problem with the iPhone. It would be interesting to hear Apple's response but my guess is that they will simply not respond and their fans will be fine with that.

When I get more moderator posts I will come back and mod this up. Well written. Thank you.

Sex does sell and it sells well. But, it's painful to watch a company that was once so very great, reducing itself to offering porn & gambling to garner some market share. It might even work - but it would be the kind of success that makes you want to take a shower to get the ugly off.

I don't about using my computer outside, especially in the summer when it's very hot and in the winter when it's very cold. I might be able to manage spring & fall but not on windy days as my papers would fly about.

Now, if we could get the folks who market jeans and other clothing to teens to stop using sexually suggestive images of people under 18 . . .

All your Internets are belong to us.

It is not true that Michael Vick ordered eight of these to be shipped to a kennel in West Virginia.

It doesn't help that, outside of Boston, Shilling is a very unlikable guy. I wouldn't expect him to throw a rope to a drowning person in a river if it would make him 15 seconds late for lunch.

I am single dad with a single income but I have two teenage sons who like to play games. When something hot comes out like Gears of whatever, I buy a new copy. But for other games they wait until it's available used. I can't afford a new version of everything. I think that what they are doing is, at the least, mean-spirited.

The Android community will eventually get a Siri equivalent though I doubt Evi is it. But, the more iterations the better and we will eventually get there. I'm glad that there is active development.
