I saw this article linked up at kurzweilai.net , where it is mentioned that “Amazon has acquired Touchco, a New York start-up that was developing flexible, transparent, force-sensitive multitouch panels.”
The article is titled “Is Amazon Building a Superkindle?” and states that Touchco’s technology “could potentially enliven a new round of touch-screen devices. Instead, it might breathe new life into one device in particular: Amazon’s Kindle.”
I kinda’ wonder why Nintendo hadn’t done this a while ago. But now is as good a time as any. While others seem intent on strangling the ebook market to death; Nintendo, along with Harlequin, is (slowly) testing the waters.
Maybe they will realize that it is safe and jump right in. But for now, 3 titles are being made available in Japan. It could be the first of many in a series titled Love Stories for Adults: DS Harlequin Selection.
Maybe there would be a loss of job when the shuttle is retired. How many people are needed to keep that 30-year-old obsolete thing repaired and running properly? Well, I guess at least 23,000.

Microsoft Vice President for Trustworthy Computing Scott Charney is pitching an Internet usage fee to pay for a Federal Government cybersecurity program. Recall that this is a cybersecurity program that, as of this time, will grant the President “emergency powers” over the Internet.
Whether you’re Michael Paulson who lives at 3425 Longview Terrace and makes $86,400 a year, or Jessica Goldblatt from Lynnwood, WA, who already has well-established trust issues, we at Google would just like to say how very, truly sorry we are.
Sure, the guy is crazy. Not because he shot up a hotel room. Not because he nuked a clock. But because he thinks God delivered him by sending him to Albion, Michigan. Yikes!
When early reports predicted the cybersecurity measure would allow the president to “declare a cybersecurity emergency,” online privacy groups said they felt that would endow the White House with overly ambiguous and far-reaching powers to regulate the Internet.
The bill will still contain most of those powers, and a “vast majority” of its other components “remain unchanged,” an aide with knowledge of the legislation told The Hill.
The Republicrats with the “D” after their name control both Congress and the White House. And they renewed the Act w/out any civil liberties provisions. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
On PBS, Dan Ackerman, a vice-principal, bragged that the government schools use the cameras in school-issued laptops to watch the children, without the children even knowing about it. And he demonstrated it on the television program.
