Amazon.com introduced Kindle™. Now you can take your paper and your library with you wherever you want. It also reads blogs and personal documents.
Kindle is a wireless device that can get your daily newspaper delivered to you every morning without you getting up and stepping out the door. In addition to newspapers, Kindle also allows to obtain books from Amazon’s Kindle Store and blogs from the internet instantly.
Kindle uses free high-speed data network (EVDO) so you never have to locate a hot-spot, no wireless bills and no contracts and as a complement, you get free access to Wikipedia.org whenever you want. Kindle does not require connection to a computer.
Battery life is long and weight is only 10.3 ounces, less than the weight of a typical paperback, convenient for travelling and commuting. With the wireless capability on, it needs to be recharged approximately every other day and with wireless feature off, you can read for a week or more before recharging. Battery fully recharges in about 2 hours.
The best feature about this gadget is its no-glare screen. The display is 6″ diagonal E-Ink® electronic paper so it feels like a real paper plus benefits of search, bookmarks, annotations, and built-in dictionary. This easy to use device can also make use of an additional SD card in addition to its internal memory that can hold about 200 titles.
The price tag on Kindle is $399.00 (includes two-day shipping) but due to heavy demand, Kindle is temporarily sold out at Amazon.com but they’re offering reservation if you pre-order. To learn more about Amazon Kindle, please visit the Kindle detail page on Amazon.com
Saw few people outside the stores on Thanksgiving Day for the grand sale. Usually the sale period starts around 5-6 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Friday, but is the overnight wait outside the store doors reasonable or insanity? Is the money saved worth the aggravation, the rush, and the stampede?
Share your experiences: whether you were in the line waiting for store to open, witnessed road rage to the mall, or enjoyed a gruesome cat-fight inside the store.
Remember Space Invaders, Pong, Pac-Man, Tetris or Super Mario?

I recently watched Om Shanti Om under peer-pressure from some of my friends because they like Shah Rukh Khan. I also heard that it might be a remake of Karz, just like the remake of Don. I have to say it was a good presentation overall and yeah loved the music.
The main attraction was the title song with various artists from past and present, a total of 32 well-known Bollywood stars including Dharmendra, Jitendra, Juhie Chawala, Karishma Kapoor, Tabu and Sunil Shetty. Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om hired a lot of familiar actors and actresses, more than any other movie I can immediately think of. Farah Khan has already mastered the art of movie choreography and she’s probably the best choreographer today, but as a director she has done an average. If the movie wasn’t this overly star-studded, without popular stars like SRK, this movie would have been a flop.
How would you rate this movie and what were your most liked/disliked moments in the movie?
How does it feel when your music player plays the right music at the right moment?
The first song my car cd/mp3 player played is “Paigham” from Lakeer on a drizzly morning. It set my mood to “content and happy” for rest of the day. It’s somewhat like the riding that yellow Camaro in Transformers and the radio auto-tunes to the right station at the right moment only it’s random luck in real life and not “Bumblebee” doing it.
Have you had that random chance of luck?
