...Kindle and Beyond E-books and their like have been around in one form or another for more than a decade, but people weren't lining up to buy them until Amazon launched its Kindle a little over a year ago. The Kindle wasn't cooler than any of the other e?readers out there - the first-generation version doesn't even have a touchscreen - but it offered one advantage key to saving publishing: every device can connect to a high-speed data network, virtually anywhere, and download books and periodicals easily and cheaply. I've grabbed books on demand...
Magazines, since they attempt to package information with big color photos, look even cooler as applications. Lynch fires up (Red)Wire, a music magazine that's delivered only as an AIR application.

Officers reported some difficulty in identifying the severed heads, as they could belong to any of nearly a dozen local victims who were kidnapped by gunmen the previous week...
...gaming as you trip over your Converse sneakers onto the dance floor? That’s right: the house party. Some people think that once you leave your dorm in Harvard Yard, you’re too old or sophisticated to go to house parties. Maybe they think the cooler option is going to a final club party. Let me enlighten you on something: they are wrong (and probably closet house partiers anyway). Why make the drunken mistakes of your first week of freshman year just once? I know that doubling the maximum capacity of a triple in Winthrop...
