Kindle love?
Hi,
After reading Josh Quittner's "Warming to the Kindle" (Time Europe, 2008-08-18 issue) I found out that I really wanted a Kindle. I consume a whole lot of books, so it seamed perfect for me.
Unfortunately Amazon does not offer the digital reader nor the service outside the US. This is a problem for me as I live in the Kindleless Kingdom of Norway. I just wanted to let you're managers know that there is strong interest for the device also outside the US.
Please do not disappoint us, and start spreading some Kindle love.
Press release reporting
Bloggers do it far to often, but the good old media picture is being more and more engulfed as well. Especially in the technology sector. Writing an article is now as easy as rough handily quoting a press release, make up an opinion at the bottom, and pressing “publish”.
Looking back at this blog’s archive, you see the same. The desire to publish and grab more eyeballs have been much greater than the will to publish something valuable.
Published at Sitepoint (typography article)
A few of you have already noticed a handsome new author over at Sitepoint.com. I wonder who he is … Anyhow, read his/my peice Rich Punctuation: How To Do It And Why You Should Bother.
I do, as always, love your feedback.
Spammers passing as M2 users
I have noticed that I have been getting very much more spam than usual the last few weeks. Someone is apparently wanting a new bot-net very much. Anyhow, I have also noticed that much spam is sent with the following footer:
–
Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
Anyone using Opera M2 will recognise this default footer. Studying these emails' headers revels that the User-Agent: [is indeed] Opera Mail/9.50
. The address formatting is, however, revealing that the messages are probably not sent using Opera.
