Barnes & Noble Cuts Prices on Nook Color, Tablet 154
In perhaps one answer to the question of how tablet makers will react to a more crowded market for small screen tablets, the L.A. Times reports that Barnes and Noble is dropping the price on its Nook tablet by 10 percent, undercutting the Amazon Kindle Fire by $20. The company's Nook Color is also shedding $20, and will now cost $149. I'm glad to hear it; I've been using a Nexus 7 lately, and finding the size (like a trade paperback, including a protective case) far handier and more often used than any of the 10" tablets I've tried.

Local fire department saves cat stuck in tree with help from Deep Blue, but the city government gets a DMCA takedown notice after the youtube video of the rescue was posted. It seems Rick Astley is not appropriate background music for a cat rescue. Steve Ballmer still throwing chairs at the tree, and the EFF is investigating if Microsoft is using private citizens' chairs without their consent. Apple users still indignant that the app "Kitty Rescue 10.0" came out on the Android marketplace first.
--- better headline. :)

Or, 80 comedian Yakoff Smirnoff's trademark line is appropriated to talk about how much we hate copyrights or the USA! It's so funny!!!

I first read that as "Comic Book Sans [google.com]" and thought there'd be a riot of pitchforks coming your way.
