The Entourage Pocket Edge has been on sale this past week on Amazon for half off, and I can never resist a sale. So I bought one. This is Entourage’s second, smaller dual screen netbook with 6″ E-ink screen and a 7″ LCd screen. It’s a lot smaller and light than the original and yet [...]

Disasters, Accidents, and Microsoft – Why you should be using Dropbox
April 9th, 2011 · 14 Comments · opinion
In the past couple months I’ve had to rapidly replace several laptops, and I had to learn the hard way about a “feature” MS introduced with Win7. I have work files that I can’t access at the moment because of this “feature”. You really should be using online services or some content server for critical [...]

April 7th, 2011 · 6 Comments · opinion
There’s a well known fact about ad revenues for print vs internet: internet ad revenues are usually lower than print. This fact is one of the reasons given for why some websites are implementing paywalls. They’re trying to bring in more money to boost their website revenue to the same range as their print revenue.

In this post I’m planning to show you the man behind the curtain. I’m hoping to give you a better understanding of what I can see, both as a blogger and as someone who watches the media. So the hot story this past week was about how the Kindle Wifi could now download Audible audiobooks [...]
And people wondered why Amazon launched an app store
March 24th, 2011 · 5 Comments · app store news
The Amazon Appstore launched a couple days ago, and I just finally got all the bugs worked out so I could download apps. Apparently Amazon’s system thought I was outside the US. (I live in the South, so I’m pretty sure that was just wishful thinking.) I just downloaded the free app of the day, [...]
