I like using my ereader for things other than books, but aside from Instapaper, converting regular files into ereader format is more hassle than it's worth. Now Amazon's making it easier to send non-book files to your Kindle.
Babies are incredible waste producing-machines, speeding through approximately 10 diapers every day. If you are in possession of a poop-maker, you've got options for dealing with their impressive output: disposables, cloth, something called FuzziBunz.
Wait, is this right? RIM's update to its PlayBook OS is actually good? High fives are currently flying in meetings across the nation.
Samsung doesn't build a booth at CES. They build a small town. A small town with knowledgeable citizens and a beautiful Main Street. Really, the kind of place you want to take your family to for the summer. And they do it Every. Single. Year.
It's beautiful, simple to use, and elegant. And the Fuji X-Pro1 is rightly going to end up in a lot of camera bags when it hits the streets.
An international team of astronomers have reached the most definitive conclusion, one with profound implications: our galaxy contains a minimum of 100 billion planets. Of those, most are small planets like ours. Statistically, every star would have at least one planet.

LG’s the latest Google-powered device manufacture that’s had to cough up to appease Microsoft. It’s just signed a patent agreement that covers Android and Chrome OS devices. Microsoft must be licking its chops.
