...evidence right now that people view the PC as the device they want to read on," he said. "And that's interesting because the PC is a general-interest device - we had hoped to see a little bit more of an uptake on that. On the other hand, we've seen a tremendous amount of uptake on the Kindle. It just works from a user perspective...
...four-game winning streak to the test this weekend in two huge conference games against Cornell and Columbia, both of which are nipping at the Crimson’s heels in the Ivy League standings. Saturday night’s matchup with the Bears, on the other hand, wasn’t much for drama. After opening its Ivy slate with a gritty two-point win at Yale, Brown has dropped its last five games: all five at home, all five to league opponents.

Correa's chief complaint against the U.S. diplomat, Homeland Security attache Armando Astorga, was "the insolence to pretend that...

Because Latin military and security forces have an unfortunate history of sliding into drug lords' pockets - a former Ecuadorean deputy interior minister under Correa was recently charged with drug trafficking - it's not all that outrageous that the U.S. ask to have some input in exchange for aid (or "logistical support," per Astorga...
