Today Show Hosts circa 1994 - "What is the Internet?"
Before I got my first compter I strongly remember having a notebook that I would use to write down all the URL’s to all the websites I had seen throughout commercials and ads; things like Cocacola.com and Disney.com. I did that so once I got a computer with access to the internet I would be prepared and ready to surf.
Mind you, this was in 1999, not 1994.

How Amazon's Kindle sales overtook paperback sales
As far as e-book retailers are concerned, none are mightier than Amazon. Since launching Kindle services Amazon has thrived on one mentality… allow the consumer to access their content wherever they may please. Unlike other e-tailers, Amazon has released apps on all major smartphone platforms, as well as on Windows, Mac, and the iPad; thus in turn raising a consumer base from the several million actually in possession of an Amazon branded Kindle e-reader, to tens of millions of consumers in possession of the free to download Amazon Kindle application. — More after the break!

Facebook Privacy: A New Approach
Facebook Privacy: A New Approach
Not only is this guy’s accent awe inspiring, but he makes a good point; Mark Zuckerberg will one day fall off his rocker, and then we’ll all be screwed.
That’s unless of course we post 300 Star Wars quote a day, that is.

PS3 Review - LittleBigPlanet 2
LittleBigPlanet; I loved it, I cherished it, I idolized it, but with LBP2 I had my reservations — that is until I saw its imense amount of beta footage, which at that point I made a 180, and my anticipation reached fever pitch. So now that it’s finally been released how does it stack up against my now high expectations? — Our review after the break!
