Nothing terribly new here, but it is interesting to note Amazon’s continued refusal to release any sales numbers for its Kindle hardware. ANALYSTS have wondered what profit margins Amazon makes on its Kindle hardware business. “It is difficult to say Amazon is making much money at its new device prices of $139,” writes Marianne [...] Since I officially designating today iPad News Day, here’s another data point about Apple’s fun little device: Attorney General Eric Holder may have been the star witness at last week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing — but Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s iPad was the VIP. Like jealous siblings on Christmas morning, lawmakers peered over Chaffetz’s [...] Who doesn’t love a good gadget? I know I certainly love mine! It’s almost comical how these executives — schooled in the art of war and talking strategy — can turn into your every day gadget freak when talking about the iPad. But here’s the real kicker. Ralph de la Vega, the CEO of AT&T’s [...] Nice addition to an already cool application. Apparently streaming films and TV shows from Netflix on an iPad itself isn’t enough. So Netflix has gone ahead and revamped the application with some video-out support. Via ZDNet. Yes, I know I’ve been slobbering over this gadget the way John Scalzi slobbers over bacon (mmm, bacon …), and that I bought the thing on launch day even after I’d said I’d wait a while before diving in, so I’m hardly going to be considered an impartial source.

The Twitterverse is all abuzz with anticipation. They’re set to arrive on Saturday, but if UPS manages to deliver any early, I’m sure the news will be all over the Internet within hours, if not minutes. It seems the demand for these is strong enough that [...] I’m really, really excited about the iPad (and no, for monetary reasons I haven’t yet pulled the trigger on one, but I really freaking want to!). Check out the following video showing how interactive content is being made specifically for the iPad. Will everyone do this, or to such an extent? Of course not. In fact, [...] Apple’s iPad was available for preorder this past Friday and racked up more than 50,000 in two hours. As much as I want one of these (and I do), I did not preorder one. Yet. With my wife laid off since November and my next book contract still in limbo (which annoys me to no end [...] Or nearly as much strain as your mom told you. I always thought LCDs with progressive scan output and fast refresh rates eliminated much of the concern about “TV being bad for your eyes,” like I was constantly told when I was a kid. I thought the old CRTs (tube televisions) were bad because they [...] |
