A well known entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, of Garage Technology Ventures, and now as I'm continuously reminded on Twitter, a new web site called Alltop. Turns out it's pretty interesting. A news aggregation service that allows you to quickly view the...
Kindle DX, like most of us middle-aged devices, gets bigger
The Kindle is a curiosity.
