Amazon’s Silk Browser has Privacy Issues… Kinda [Kindle Fire]

In case you hadn’t heard, Amazon’s Kindle Fire is going to come with its very own proprietary browser, Amazon Silk. Silk does something that other browsers do not in that it uses the processing power of Amazon’s formidable cloud network to help with some of the heavy lifting when it comes to rendering web pages.

Using the iPad 2 in Stroke Recovery – My Family’s Experience

from PubMed Health. Almost two months ago, a close family member suffered a devastating stroke. It was a Sunday night, and he and his wife were planning to watch The Amazing Race – or whatever reality show is on that night. (To protect their privacy, I’m going to call them George and Gracie.) George was [...]

Ferrari F1 Wheel Add-On brings racing action closer to home than ever before

The world’s fastest sport is also one of the most expensive – it basically isn’t cost effective to drive a Formula 1 car, but then again, it is through Formula 1 that we get many technologies that you see in passenger cars these days such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) as well as paddle shifts. [...]

Speculation involving the two possible models continue to flip flop, but we’re certainly rooting for a [...]

String Thing helps you get it right

You know what they say – a good workman never blames his tools, but sometimes, you just think that if it weren’t for your tools and not the lack of skill, you would be able to do so much better in a particular sport or activity. If you’re an avid fan (and player) of racquet [...]

The new Amazon Kindles are exciting, but is the Silk browser the bigger news?

Today Amazon announced 4 new devices and I was so excited, that I ordered / pre-ordered 3 of them (Kindle, Touch 3G and Fire). New hardware might be fun, but I think we should all be more excited about the Kindle Fire’s new Silk web browser. It’s not been that long ago that the only [...]
