Kindle Books Outselling Hardcover Books. “Tipping Point” Reached, Amazon Says:
“Amazon’s Kindle eReader has long been a great device. Unfortunately, for much of its life, it has been far too expensive. And now with Apple’s iPad out there, it seems a bit too, well, monochrome. But Amazon did a smart thing recently, they slashed the price of the device, down to $189. As a result, growth is accelerating once again, Amazon says.”
Very amazing. Sell your product for less and you sell more! I didn’t know that. When you sell more devices, then people will want to buy more media to fill that device. Amazon thought they were Apple. their device is good, but nowhere near the level of the iPad. It’s just an eReader, and a black and white one at that. Good for Amazon that they finally understand the chicken and egg part of their business.

U.S. Navy Laser Weapon Shoots Down Drones in Test [Video]: Scientific American:
“In a grainy, black-and-white video that looks like a home movie of a UFO attack a sleek aircraft streaks through the sky one minute, only to burst into flames the next and plummet into the sea. The silent video, which Raytheon Co. debuts Monday at the U.K.’s Farnborough International Air Show 2010, however, is not science fiction. “
I kept thinking that atmospheric attenuation would prevent the practical use of laser weapons in atmosphere. However the weapon will have to perform better. It took too long to hit and damage the drone enough to prevent flight.

With most of my classes I am able to blog and do the class without too much trouble. With this past week’s class being customized to the extent that it was, I really found it hard to write and be physically and mentally prepared for class the next day. So, what fell through was the blogging. I just thought that you had a right to know what happened this week that prevented some posting. Thank you for reading this blog.

I am starting to use my iPhone as a camera more often. Getting the images out through iTunes is a pain. I like how my main camera has the eye-fi card. Getting the images off of that is very easy, and I can control it. How did I solve my iPhone Photo problem after the break.

One of the more interesting things I have to do when I travel is keep track of my receipts. I have a serious problem with all of the fiddly pieces of paper. Expense tracking programs on the iPhone have a way of using the camera to take images of the receipts. My solution to this problem after the break.
