Paul Allen is thinking outside the box....way outside the box.

This is amazing stuff.  I could see this not only as a way to get precious cargo up into space but also for those that want a chance to be in orbit.  If you get a chance, check out the video that's midway through the article.

Kindle Fire is looking more and more promising

Looks like hackers are trying to get the most out of the Kindle Fire's.  I've been thinking about purchasing a tablet and this might be the one I go with.  Android 4.0 potentially running on a $199 tablet.  Sweet!  PC World is where I got the story from.

Free Tom Clancy Audiobook - Dead or Alive from Audible




Free Tom Clancy Audiobook - Dead or Alive from Audible



Not sure how much longer this will be free, however I thought I would pass along this info since I know some people that are huge Tom Clancy fans.  Plus who doesn't like getting free stuff.

If you have an Amazon account, you can use that to log into Audible.  Otherwise you will need to create an account.  Enjoy!
