I thought the web browser still functioned in the US on the International version, it was just turned off when being used outside the US. Is that wrong?

That was the main reason I was planning on sticking with a Kindle when I upgrade my Kindle 1 later this year.

This is also what I'm waiting to find out. No mention of it on the official Nook website or FAQs. I have a Kindle 1 and was going to upgrade to the new International version, and find I actually use the web browser quite a bit sitting at the airport. (Better experience than browsing on my phone)

How about a built-in browser and free Internet on the Kindle? Right now I have a Kindle 1, and absolutely love the built-in browser for reading blogs/fark.

I've been contemplating the upgrade to a Kindle 2, and that will likely be the make/break reason to switch from Kindle (and lose my already purchased books) to this.

(Although I'll probably wait a month or two to see A) If Amazon drops Kindle prices to compete and B) If BN has as many free/cheap books as Amazon.

Not really an alternative to typical batteries. This is about storing mechanical energy, and not electrical energy. Its also pretty limited to applications where you need that energy all at once, versus a controlled drain.

I don't see what the big deal is. Homeplug Av at 200Mbps data rate have been available for years. Just do a quick buy.com or Newegg search and you'll see plenty of identical product from Linksys, ZyXEL, Netgear, and others.

Real world throughput is in the 40-80Mbps range. All the vendors are essentially using the same two chipset vendors (Intellon for Homeplug AV or DS2) so performance is basically the same between all vendors.

The air bags not going off isn't that much of a surprise. If you look at the damage, it is to the hood, not the bumper. Normally the air bag sensors are in the bumper, and if that escapes damage, they don't deploy.

I had the same thing happen to me in a recent accident. Both me and the car ahead of me were hard on the brakes. This caused the front end of my car to dip down, and the rear end of his car to rise up. So his bumper went through my grill, missing my bumper and not activating the airbags.

Here's the company who made the cake.

What makes this any better than the HTC Touch?

Pretty sure Geometry Wars began life not on the X-Box Live service, but on the PC via Steam.

I like triangles.
