Product tip for Asus

Hello Asus Product Development Team,

if you were wondering what should be the next big thing after you flattened the EEE netbooks, here is a free tip from me: just put an eInk based e-book reader on top of them, on the back of the actual screen, for an extra 200$. No, actually, for an extra 199$.

The thing is I don't want to carry both a netbook and an e-reader around. If you price the combo better than the cost of a separate netbook + ereader combination, it would be great.
And you should, as the combo should have only one battery, not two, as its separate pieces.

Kindle Demographics

It's like technological Viagra. A not so scientific study suggests that the early adopters for this technology are in fact much older than previously foreseen, questioning the preconception on the domination of the 18-34 group over this category.

The return of a classic

... ne-am reintalnit in Gara de Nord, dupa vreo cincisprezece ani, absolut intamplator. Ne-am atins si fara sa vrem, ne-am amintit impreuna despre acele vremuri in care marketingul inca mai avea ceva de-a face cu piatza, fie ea si de zarzavat.

Este ea, sora sacosei de plasa pentru cartofi, vara cu suportul de plastic pentru sticle de lapte, casatorita cu diplomatul in care Nea Marin isi ascundea prazul, matusa coshului zilnic al lui Vacaroiu, bunica gentilor Louis Vuitton de astazi.

Ea, punga de un leu, calul de povara al consumerismului socialist.
