, 12.1 ounces for Nook Wi-Fi + 3G ). And the new Kindle is 15 percent lighter than its predecessor (which weighed in at 10.2 ounces); between its lighter weight and its more compact design, I could immediately tell that using the third-generation Kindle would be a more pleasing experience than with earlier models. The unit felt very balanced in the hand, and the buttons felt like they were in convenient, ergonomic places (more on that in a moment).
CEO Jeff Bezos is fighting back with a new Kindle that's more powerful and less expensive.
Q: Why not add multimedia to e-books? A: You want to enter the author's world, the great novel or engaging non-fiction narrative. In the case of a physical book, you're not noticing the stitching and the glue and the paper and the ink. That all disappears. We're always trying to make Kindle get out of the way.
If it's a book about music history, having music people can play at certain points in the book can be useful. Maybe biology textbooks can benefit from certain animations. You're not going to make Hemingway better by adding animations.
Computerworld - Barely 24 hours before a researcher was set to dive deeper into a Safari bug at the Black Hat security conference, Apple today fixed that flaw and 14 others.
Apple also switched on extensions in Safari 5.0.1, and launched a gallery of more than 100 add-ons users can download.
Although not the most serious of the 15 vulnerabilities patched today, a flaw in how Safari auto-fills forms with the user's name and personal information was the most prominent of today's bunch, if only because a researcher took the bug public last week.

. Although the newest iMacs look identical to their older cousins, a bit of retooling under the hood leaves them faster and more capable than ever. Will you notice? Here’s a rundown of what’s new, and what it means to you.Core i3, i5 and i7 Processors The trusty Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad designations have disappeared in favor, appropriately enough, of Intel’s new i-branded Nehalemn-architecture chips. Although they share the same clock speeds, the new chips use a 32nm fabrication, which improves both performance and efficiency. Other technologies, including hyper threading and smart cache, should also improve performance, albeit incrementally.
Aiming to bring its multi-touch technology to its desktop systems, Apple on Tuesday introduced the "Magic Trackpad," a navigation device that looks much like the trackpads on its current MacBook Pro line of laptops.
The device, which retails for $69, would allow the user to employ the same gestures available to those using its laptops. The device would run on two AA batteries and connect wirelessly to the computer via Bluetooth.

Some of the gestures available include pinch and spread to adjust size, rotating, and swiping -- all of which are natively supported in the most current versions of Mac OS X. They are also quite similar to the gestures used on Apple's popular iPhone devices, so those familiar with the popular device would already understand the Magic Trackpad's concept.
