How the Kindle Fire Could Make 7-Inch Tablets Huge

Steve Jobs made it clear what he thought of 7-inch tablets in October 2010. They’re “too small,” and as good as “dead on arrival.” But the announcement of and anticipation surrounding Amazon’s Kindle Fire tablet may soon have Jobs eating his words.

If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard the news, Amazon debuted its $200 7-inch tablet, the Kindle Fire, this week. Make no mistake: It’s no iPad. There’s no front-facing or rear-facing camera, and it’s only got 8 GB of storage.

Laptop Bag Transforms into Desk and Chair

Cool idea and nice design:

Laptop Bag Transforms into Desk and Chair

Twitter used to organise protest in UK

On Wednesday morning, after a few days' planning, I met a few friends and 60-odd strangers outside the Ritz hotel in London, listened to a quick briefing and then made the short walk up to Oxford Street where together we occupied and shut down Vodafone's flagship store. Only later would it become clear that we had sparked some of the first tangible signs of nationwide outrage at the spending cuts.




This summer, the new government let Vodafone off nearly all of an outstanding tax bill of £6bn. The original Private Eye exposé on the decision reports that one senior figure at the HMRC called it "an unbelievable cave in". As George Osborne cheerfully sets about slashing welfare and public services for the very poorest, the Vodafone case gives lie to his claim that "we are all in this together".
