Is Barnes & Noble’s Nook a Kindle killer? | Crave – CNET.  Very interesting new addition to this e-book sector.  The Nook has Wi-Fi, 3G and external memory up to 16GB, it could be a player in this growing market.  I really like the ability to lend a book to a friend for 14 days…very cool.

Pretty cool gadget for those that love blending technology and  cooking.  Next, I need a robot that is a five-star chef for my home.  :)

Down with NTP…

Down with the d*&% patent trolls!

Free the Blackberry…
