Per Sanderson's twitter/fb they are now going to release an ebook in February as a compromise (Sanderson was pushing for same-day release, Harriet wanted the year wait). As for myself, I have the hardcover to match the rest of the series o

I'm waiting on CES in January. I've heard that most of the companies who will be producing android tablets in the near future will have manufacturing samples then. Most are probably waiting for 3.0+ to optimize Android for a tablet experi

I don't use NoSQL (yet) but I'm curious if there would be a better key to shard by (instead of user_id)?

It really is a great community. The django-user mailing list and #django on freenode are very newbie-friendly. I would recommend lurking on both and picking up a lot of best practices by osmosis, then asking questions when you get in a bi

Yes, but did the older gentleman get to adjust the Kindle's text size. That's a killer feature that has sold Kindles to 6 of my older relatives who have used mine for more than a minute or so. I read at the 2nd to smallest font (probably

</lurk>I have a launch Kindle 2. I love the device for all of the same reasons that minouye listed. I never had any problems with it until this past weekend. I turned on the 3G and hit the 'sync/update' option. I knew that it wa
