It worked great after rooting it, don't get me wrong. The battery drained a little too fast for reasons unknown even though I did strip everything I could get away with stripping out of it - still lasted a really long time. I also realized even though I could read my Kindle and Google books from their native readers only the Kindle books wouldn't ( Read more... )

My Kindle can read PDF's and most electronics come with their documentation on PDF these days, I thought that was pretty cool, but really, PDF's are to rigid, they suck on a screen as small as a normal Kindles. It's handy to put the manuals on there anyways, but there's too much hunting and scrolling ( Read more... )

With several mixed results film (made for TV actually) adaptations of this book not getting it right, I've been wanting an actual theatrical version of Brave New World. Of course I really do want to be consulted, but since they're not asking me what I think I'll just tell the rest of you.

Looks like Ridley Scott may be directing with Di Caprio ( Read more... )

Here's the original

This method has been working great for me, I even came up with a standardized batch file for "switching" so I don't have to leave a large number of virtual disk.

%windir%\system32\miso.exe NULL -umnt f:
%windir%\system32\miso.exe NULL -mnt f: "C:\Path\ISO_File.iso"

and in the instance of at least one of the games that doesn't ( Read more... )

Yesterday I picked up a copy of The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham "Living Books" for my daughter. Unfortunately, like most kids games they require a CD in the drive to run. This isn't exactly for storage purposes, it's mostly for anti-piracy purposes. The problem is kids are among the most likely on the planet to scratch up a disk. Sure ( Read more... )

( been collecting this? )

I personally don't have as much time to read as I used to, though I'm doing a bit more of it lately. Last weekend I found a real find! 19 years ago was the first and last time I read the Chronicles of Narnia, I was given a book set by my next door neighbor, that for some reason still had the original sequence instead of the modern revised (and ( Read more... )

Quite likeable, I can see why a movie was made, even if the movie didn't pertain to the Dark Tower. Kings ability to keep track of and interact characters is just amazing. It sometimes makes me wonder if he actually lives in the world in his head and just visits ours to write ( Read more... )

I bought a big old pile of hardbacks at the used book store yesterday based on Nin_Man's recomendations. I'm about 1/2 through Hearts in Atlantis now. No doubt that connects to the tower. Nice thing about used book stores, you can get great condition used hardbacks for less than new, and in some places used, paperbacks.

I picked up Eye's of the Dragon ( Read more... )

While I was in Junior High and early High School I read the first three books of the Dark Tower series. I waited impatiantly for Wizard and Glass, then bought it as soon as it came out. While reading the first four books I found that having already read The Stand helped a little, but probably wasn't absolutely necessary (at least the Super Flu ( Read more... )
