It was clear who had the power in this situation. And when you’re face to face with someone with so much power, you behave in an unusual manner. You dare not take any action. Sadly that's far from unusual. Meek compliance is how most peop

"Quality counts" is a nice meme, but without specifics it lacks usefulness and can even be misguiding. There are many forms of quality. Some are vital when launching an app, others should be pared back if doing so allows you to launch earli

If there's one thing they need to nail on this device (beyond the Kindle app) it's web browsing. a $250 7" tablet with a top class browser is a hugely compelling product all by itself.
