Amazon's Kindle

Continuing last week's technology trend, I want to discuss the Amazon Kindle. The Kindle is an electronic book. It is about the size of a DVD case, but a bit thinner and is able to hold thousands of books at a time. To download books to your Kindle you simply buy books off of Amazon.com and they are automatically downloaded to the Kindle via Whispernet, a type of Wifi that is only available to Kindles. You can download books, newspapers and magazines the Kindle, and you can even buy subscriptions that will be automatically downloaded every day. You can watch the video below for more information.
I recently bought a Kindle for myself and have been very pleased with it. The screen looks just like a book, so it never hurts my eyes like a computer screen can. I have bought several books, but found that there are many books that you can download for free and I am greatly enjoying reading these without spending any money. I think that this will prove to be a smart purchase for me, because I love to read and have already read some fifteen to twenty books on my Kindle. Do you think that you would want to own a Kindle? In your opinion, what is the best feature of the Kindle? Can you think of any improvements that could be made? ~Mariah

Hi

Have a look at this interesting video

Apple's Newest Release

As you may have seen, Apple just released its "magical and revolutionary" iPad. I'm not so sure that these words really describe the iPad, especially not revolutionary. To look at, the iPad is basically just a larger version of the iPhone. As far as what the iPad can do, it has all of the abilities of the iPhone except they're somehow "better." After watching the promotional video found at www.apple.com, I am not convinced that the iPad does anything other than give you a bigger screen to view your movies, email and games. I don't think I'll be paying the $499 any time soon. What do you think? ~Mariah

JASON MRAZ - I'M YOURS
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my best test
and nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved

So, i won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait I’m sure
there's no need to complicate our time is short
this is our fate, I’m yours

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
and bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
my breath fogged up the glass
and so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm a saying is there ain’t no better reason
to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
it's what we aim to do
our name is our virtue

No please don't complicate, our time is short
this is our fate, I’m yours.
no please don't hesitate no more, no more
it cannot wait, the sky is yours!)

Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
ah, la peaceful melodies
it's you god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved...
