Video of my Out-of-Box experience with Amazon’s Kindle (and some ...

No. It's not a review of the Kindle, yet. There are plenty of those already circulating the Web and I'll get to mine (better late than never). But, after missing the Amazon press conference in NYC where the members of the press were offered Kindles to take home and try, I finally was able to get one sent to me and it arrived today. So, before opening it up, my multimedia wingman Matt Conner and I decided it would be best to fire up our camera and videotape the out-of-box experience (literally, out of the box that it arrived in, via UPS).

One thing you may notice: Amazon doesn't yet have a shipping box (or at least didn't use one for my unit) that's designed to fit the Kindle. I'll bet this changes. They'll probably have one that says "Kindle" all over it. The Kindle is smaller (and thinner than I imagined).

Unstoppable Obama

We, perhaps white people especially, look to him for atonement and redemption. All of us, of whatever race, want a fresh start. That's what "change" means right now: Get us out of here!

Micron will return its focus to making memory

Micron plans to spin off its division that makes sensors used in cameras and cell phones, into a separate company so Micron can focus on memory manufacturing, Chairman and CEO Steve Appleton said Thursday.And despite heavy losses lately, Micron is willing to spend money to seize opportunities to consolidate the industry and bolster the company's dynamic random-access memory and flash memory businesses, Appleton told analysts."We're well positioned to participate as opportunities come up," he said at the company's annual analysts conference, held this year in Salt Lake City. "If you look at the strength of our cash balance sheet, it's very significant, and it's very good."Spinning off image sensors into a separate company would mark the end of a diversification effort the company hoped would reduce its reliance on cyclical DRAM and flash memory.
