B&N's Nook Is A Kindle Killer: 5 Reasons Why - Business Center - PC World - http://www.pcworld.com/article...
Andrew Bowers, Kevin Pedraja, Chieze Okoye and 3 other people liked this
"Barnes & Noble's new Nook e-reader is the e-reader that competitors must now beat. So long Kindle 2, it was nice knowing you, but a better reader has come along. And just in time for the holidays, too. If Amazon doesn't have a new model up its sleeve, it will be a Merry Christmas at B&N and a sack of coal for Amazon. Here's why:"

I don't think his reasons amount to anything like that level of confidence, though, and in particular his reason 1 (better hardware!) mostly refers to things I'm sure don't matter, like a replaceable battery, and WiFi.
- j1m
Loanable books, and the ability to read public domain stuff and your own files without paying an amazon tax? That's all I need to hear. Agreed that some of his other reasons are pretty bogus.
- Joel Webber
Joel said it.
- Roberto Bonini
On the Kindle you can already read your own stuff, pretty much anything in PDF format without paying a penny.
- Internet's Tad
True. But the lending thing is awesome. Its what people want. And it will be a boon for libraries
- Roberto Bonini
yes lending is awesome! that could be game changing. i'm pretty sold on the nook already, but i'm really annoyed that they don't allow you to purchase books while i'm outside of the US with my US credit card, even though you can download overseas.
- sha-mayn teh
If I didn't already have a Kindle, I'd consider the Nook, but I'm really holding out till the new Tablet computers come out next year. Also, I really, really want full color e-ink and that's probably 2 or 3 years away.
- Internet's Tad
from fftogo
If MS Courier has some sort of book reading features, I might look into that. Otherwise, I would really look into Nook. (god, I hate the stupid rhyming that happens when I use that word now).

Steal! Ben Darnell Leaves Google Reader Team, Joins FriendFeed - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Jack Wilson, K4SAC, xero, WCM and 78 other people liked this
"Ben Darnell, a key member of the Google Reader team, has left Mountain View to jump into startup life. Darnell bailed Google for FriendFeed, which was founded by ex-Googlers and notably in part by Kevin Fox, who used to work with him on the Google Reader team. Darnell is FriendFeed’s first hire in over a year, and will get employee badge number 13. He starts today, and according to the blog post announcing the steal, he’ll be bringing his “ninja-fu data-storage and scalability skills” to the startup."
- Paul Buchheit
from Bookmarklet
This article is actually a bit off on one detail -- Ben left Google about six weeks ago, but just recently decided to join FriendFeed.
- Paul Buchheit
lucky 13 ehhhh
- johnpiercy
The fictional version is more dramatic. The fact that he left Google 6 weeks earlier ruins the whole Steal! angle.
- Bruce Lewis
Plus I actually left the Reader team about 6 months ago, so it's even less of a "Steal!"
- Ben Darnell
And Reader has only gone downhill since you left. :-)
- Jesse Stay
Also, you haven't actually "left Mountain View", either, unless FriendFeed secretly moved to Pleasanton or something while we weren't looking.

But fact checkers wouldn't be real-time, while drama often is. And we all know that real-time is all that matters anymore. ;)

Bummer. But congratulations too. :)

Nice but the suggested careers for my ENTP profile don't really help me: "entrepreneurs, lawyers, psychologists, photographers, consultants, sales represenatives, actors, engineers, scientists, inventors, marketers, computer programmers, comedians, computer analysts, credit investigators, journalists, psychiatrists, public relations, designers, writers, artists, musicians, politicians".
- Jérôme Flipo
I got INTJ. I've sometimes gotten INTP or INTX in the past. "Scientists, engineers, professors, teachers, medical doctors, dentists, corporate strategists, organization founders, business administrators, managers, military, lawyers, judges, computer programmers, system analysts, computer specialists, psychologists, photographers, research department managers, researchers, university instructors, chess players." Maybe it's time to try my hand at dentistry...
- Ruchira S. Datta
LOL I'm INFJ and I'm a coder.

I came out ENTP on this one, but have also scored as an INTP previously.

I got an INFJ, but it doesn't match up in the career choices. Engineer and entrepreneur weren't on the list, but clergy and councilor were. :)
- Cristo
For all the INFJs, being a coder is not unusual, I am INFJ as well (though earlier in life I tested INTJ). Every type brings something new to the table. I like to think I'm more empathic than my former INTJ self.

I don't know why I always retake this. I score the same every time. ENFP.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I would have guessed you're an extrovert. I took a similar test with Steve that rated personality and compatibility. The results were that he was a "mastermind," and I was an "accountant," but we were 100% compatible. At least this time, I got other options besides accountant. :)

The person who leaked the document was a freelancer at one of Pepsi's ad agencies who said "It really hammers in the stereotype of advertising in general, and the complete idiocy that goes into marketing."

I plan to Lindy Hop, eat a lot, and (obviously) do a lot of work. And hopefully see a bit of each country outside the big cities.
- Adam Lasnik
This is very true, and it was partly due to airfare pricing considerations. It was many *thousands* of dollars more, for some reason, adding Singapore either before or after my time in Beijing :(. With that said, I will likely be visiting Hyderabad in early 2009 and hope and expect to add Singapore to that (since it's more of a hub on the way to/from India) :-)

Wow, *thousands* more? that's nuts! Alrighty then, look forward to catching up with you in '09!

Nope. This will put me at about 72K miles for the year. Not even within the range of a mileagerun, or at least not a sane one. And I ain't doing *two* extra trips to Europe in December just to get 1K status again :P.
- Adam Lasnik
ok early '09 it is :P
- BeeLing
Then again, Rocky... SFO-FRA-CAI (Cairo) -PDX-SFO is over 15K and $1084; I'd get to see friends in Germany, some friends in Portland, earn 30K, and be within 7K of 1K status (which reads funny, but you know what I mean). So tempting! :D Oh, and I'd get to optionally see Cairo for a bit! :-)
