Free Music! iTunes v. Everyone
DRM free music as well as free of cost… It seems to me that Apple is forcing everyone’s hand to try new and interesting tactics like dropping DRM and not because of no open letter but because of the iTunes Music Stores’ utter dominance of the market. Companies have tried and tried and tried to [...]
More on Kindle Reviews.
What better way to start the week off than with a Kindle post! My latest obsession since the iPhone and you are loving it. Admit it. First things first, a lot of people have been suspect about the number of Kindles sold given the speed of their selling out and Amazon’s not saying how many [...]
On Kindle Critiques…
Internet, my name is Felix and I have a problem. I can’t stop blogging about the Kindle. Sue me.
Anyhyoo, I’ve noticed that a lot of the complaints about the Kindle seem a little like “And also? It doesn’t cook me breakfast when I wake up in the morning. WTF??!1!1!!” Most of the A-List tech bloggers [...]
Kindle’s selling well…
UPDATE: Well, it continues to roll along in the #1 spot on Amazon electronics. Its new available date is Dec 17th. Curious, I strolled through a few pages of the close to 700 reviews to see what people thought. It seemed that overwhelmingly the 1 star posts were by people who don’t actually have one. [...]
One last Kindle before I stop.
I know I said last one was the last, but this one’s the last. I just came across this piece (via) which talks specifically about the interface of the Kindle and how crappy it is, from a hardware perspective and it’s the kind of talk I’ve seen elsewhere so I wanted to look at it. [...]
Other People’s Kindle Hands On
Ok, seriously, last Kindle post for awhile. But I started seeing a few people blogging about their actual Kindle experiences - sure only a few hours time but it’s worth investigating what people who have actually felt it (and aren’t journalists) think about it.
This guy got one and found the navigation metaphor to be very [...]
On the reaction to Amazon’s Kindle
Ok, so it’s official, the internets hate the Kindle. I guess it isn’t surprising, but it got me thinking about their arguments and why I, on the other hand, was kind of excited by it.
The most common argument is that we already have laptops and iPhones why the hell do we need yet another [...]
Kindle’s out and ugly, but cool?
UPDATE: Couple things I saw on the Kindle page. First it supports .prc and .mobi files - great news! Presumably you can mail those in but maybe you can also hook them up to your computer (or add them to a an SD card) and get them right on the piece. If that’s true, then [...]
Amazon Kindle, the e-book reader that actually makes it?
So Newsweek (thanks scott) just broke the news on Amazon’s new e-book reader, the Kindle. This project has been slow to the table and there’s been lots of speculation on the topic before now but Bezos wanted to take his time and get it right. I, for one, am really hoping that he’s gotten it [...]

Amazon EC2 and RedHat Enterprise!
Huh. Just read about Redhat and Amazon teaming up to give you RHEL Cloud Computing (via). Basically, you can now buy RHEL support with preconfigured AMI’s on Amazon EC2 directly from Amazon. And by you and now I mean you if you’re a participant in the private beta and if you aren’t now means, not [...]
