and now that ebooks are a monoculture? and amazon going vertical into its own publishing? we are all better off? hmm?

literal much? the sale of books must support the publishing and writing industry. No bucks? No buck rogers (stories, that is). When you don't make any money selling books, you don't pay authors, so authors don't write. Enjoy reading blogs for the rest of your life, because I assume you don't put any value on anything more literary than xkcd. jerk.

this whole case is absurd. Yes, the iBooks deals raised prices on consumers. But that's only because Amazon was selling below cost to drive bookstores, and ultimately publishers, out of business. And this case was filed by a lawyer in Amazon's building. Way to go, DOJ! being a proxy pawn for a market manipulator.

kings quest. I would single out kings quest III, where the series came into its own.

this story is falso. no thing as "dna", so how can we store info ther? also, no way you could fit pitabytes into a gram, otherwise computers would be really small.

I thought of this idea like 10 years ago. where's my cut of the action?

Ahh, now I see. According to msn, the magazine of record, an unknown amount of radiation will make Ann unknown amount of nitrous, which is n2o btw. Depending o nthe quantity and concentration, this may cause ozone holes and global warming (it is a GHG) to an unknown degree. But the thought that it would literally suck all the oxygen out of the room is a silly thought. May I suggest not using google so much, as you encourage me to, but use your head sometimes? Also, the question still stands, about whT if you're on the dark side of the earth.

explain.

This olpc announcement is minor Walmart news for today. The big news is, they'll be selling iPhone 5 for their straight talk wireless, $45 prepaid unlimited. The phone is $650, but they have interest free financing at $25 per month. Petty sweet, no? Starts Friday. That's what I call big news!
