The Kindle Fire has become surprisingly popular because it's affordable yet versatile for its price. And the numbers bear this out.

In order to make the tool work, Moquet had to use his own servers, which keep track of every item that's disliked as well as who clicked it. Any other Facebook … Read more

Day 30 - My Overall Impressions

Here we are at day thirty. Wondering where the time has gone and where we'll go from here. One thing I know, wherever it is life finds me, the Palm Pre will be with me!

While many things impressed me, and I had very few disappointments, I'm just going to touch on a few of the major things I liked and disliked.
