I don't think they're adding ePub support to the Kindle. See: http://overdriveblogs.com/library/2011/04/20/kindle-library-lending-and-overdrive-what-it-means-for-libraries-and-schools/ "Your existing collection of downloadable eBooks will be available to Kindle customers. As you add new eBooks to your collection, those titles will also be available in Kindle format for lending to Kindle and Kindle reading apps. Your library will not need to purchase any additional units to have Kindle compatibility. This will work for your existing copies and units."

Blizzard Seeking Console Devs For 'Diablo-Related Concept' 58

Eurogamer reports that a number of Blizzard job listings went up today for top-level console developers. The listings were posted under the Diablo 3 heading, leading to speculation about a console port of the upcoming game. A Blizzard representative soon responded, saying, "... we’re currently exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles. As we’ve said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we’re interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in contributing to such a project. To further reiterate what’s posted on the home page: this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs, and we have no intention of allowing a console interpretation to delay or otherwise affect the release of the game." Having played Diablo 3 at Blizzcon, I can say that the game would very easily make the transition to consoles. An Xbox 360 or PS3 controller would almost perfectly fit all necessary gameplay functions. That said, they could just as easily be porting one of the older games, building a new mini-game to get their feet wet, or getting started on Diablo 4. Time will tell.

Overdrive is going to be making Project Gutenberg titles available for checkout by users of libraries that subscribe to the Overdrive service. It's currently in beta and being tested at the Boston Public Library. There won't be any limit on the number of checkouts for Project Gutenberg titles. http://overdriveblogs.com/library/2010/08/10/project-gutenberg-ebooks-available-on-%E2%80%98virtual-branch%E2%80%99-websites/

Comment I don't think Dweezil is into Linux (Score 1) 195

I wouldn't assume that anything that Dweezil is doing is any kind of predictor for what Frank might have done, but I'm pretty sure whatever he's using is running on Windows. Unfortunately I can't recall the exact source, but one of his blog posts (http://www.dweezilzappaworld.com/posts/54) does mention some hardware that doesn't appear to have vendor supplied drivers for Linux.
