(The new) Kindle eReader

The Irish Times August 14, 2010 | TOM KELLY Go Gadgets: Ah, the smell of competition! The launch of Apple’s iPad, with its powerful ebooks app, has prompted a swift reaction from Amazon, with the imminent release of a new Kindle, its own popular electronic book reader.

In case you missed the arrival of the Kindle’s predecessors and its e-cousins, this is a hand-held device that lets you read digital versions of books downloaded from Amazon. It’s one of several similar non-paper readers which, while not delivering the tactile pleasure of turning the printed page, do allow you tote around a virtual bookshelf with hundreds of publications as easily as you would a well-thumbed paperback.

In the case of this new, third generation Kindle, that’s a veritable Dr Johnson-esque library of 3,500 books, double its previous page count. Moreover, it bookends these into a smaller, lighter body reflecting that hoary old cheese puff about the electronics business that was so successful, they’d had to move to smaller premises.

The body has had a once-over too, with a new buffed, graphite finish and a claimed longer battery life. This Kindle still mimics the printed word with its black and white e-ink rather than iPad’s full colour offering. This certainly gives the Kindle the edge when holiday reading in sweltering sunlight, but that may not be enough to make it an iPad ekiller. bobblewaterbottlenow.com bobble water bottle

Of course, they do get another bite of the ebook cherry as their own app for the iPad lets punters eread Amazon downloads there too. And they are obviously not ones to worry about killing off their babies, with this simply being called a Kindle, with no sequel- suggestive numerals or a Ludlum-esque Kindle Librarium, for example. here bobble water bottle

As admirable as all their technical nips and tucks are, it’s at the pricing end where Amazon has sharpened up, with the WiFi-only Kindle just $139 (Irish customers are still being sent to the US site to buy).

Cost WiFi model $139 ([euro]106), WiFi 3G $189 ([euro]144), amazon.com Pod a Porter Neckband Perhaps the only inelegant note struck by this otherwise beautifully executed piece of product design is the pretension of its rather puntastic name. Almost as pompous as that opening line. Anyway, this is a very cool accessory, even jewellery, for an iPod Shuffle – the stamp-sized MP3 player from Apple. It’s an ultralight neckband to hold your Shuffle and neatly channel the headphones around so they don’t get twisted and tangled up in your clothes. These are crucial, because the player’s extreme buttonism means the headphone cables have the Shuffle’s controls built-in to them. Bust them and it’s not so much Shuffle as muffle.

At the same time, the PaP holds the Shuffle itself of course, for when you’re togged down to your exquisite basics for the beach or poolside. You can hardly tuck it in your thong after all: two wrongs won’t make a right.

Designer Michiel Cornelissen has one more twist: each Pod a Porter is individually produced by a 3D printer in polyamide when you order online. In black, white and a range of iPodista colours.

Cost [euro]25, shapeways.com Water Bobble Not a typo, but a smart, eco-positive solution to getting filtered water on the move. So the travelling middle classes everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. See, the good-looking Bobble Water Bottle has an active carbon filter that’s good for 300 dechlorinated, decontaminated fill-ups. So it helps neutralise the environmental WMD that is bottled water. Plus, the Bobble itself is BPA-free, 100 per cent recycled and recyclable, for an all-round feelgood factor. Of course, there is the small matter of shipping it over here.

Cost $10 ([euro]7.50), filters $7 ([euro]5.50), waterbobble.com.betweenideas@gmail.com and betweenideas.blogspot.com TOM KELLY

How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm?

Isthmus September 26, 2008 | Madayag, Katrin Blain’s Farm & Fleet 600 Hometown Circle, Verona; 608-848-4968; www.farmandfleet.com; 8:30 am-9 pm Mon.-Fri., 8:30 am-8 pm Sat., 9 am-6 pm Sun.

When I pulled into the parking lot of the new Blain’s Farm & Fleet in Verona, not only did the LED welcome sign give me pause, so did the sprawling 114,500-square-foot building. Looks like the Midwestern farm store chain (it has 30-plus stores in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa) has evolved. go to site beard trimmer

Environmentally, it has. According to company representative Renee Tarnutzer, the Verona location is a green-concept store with daylight-harvesting skylights and 16foot ceiling fans that control temperatures year-round.

Farm & Fleet has spruced up the roughhewn appearance typical of its other stores to compete with the big boxes, yet its durable brands of clothes, outdoor maintenance equipment and agricultural necessities remain.

The large store’s layout sells itself Gone are the cramped aisles that made it easy to overlook products. Instead, wider aisles and open space encourage browsing. Sweatshirts can be faced out, and shoe aisles accommodate both carts and shoppers.

I took my time, poking my head in all the departments, from automotive to sporting goods to agricultural hardware. With bright lights and roomy shelves, I found Farm Innovators Pond De-icer ($39), the Waring Pro Wine Chiller ($100) and the camouflage Wahl Outdoor Rechargeable Beard Trimmer ($20) for hunters. I especially liked the brown John Deere “Makin’ big ol’ trucks since 1877” hoodie ($30). And this is still the place to go for Dickeys, Carhartt and CAT – work clothes that make the leap to hip. in our site beard trimmer

Farm & Fleet Verona is both for business and pleasure. While there, I saw families and couples stroll the store together, which exemplifies the Farm & Fleet local community spirit. Despite its gleam, you actually will still find the same good ol’ farm store.

Although the store opened to the public Aug. 14, the official grand opening Sept 25-27 will be an extravaganza with gift card giveaways and appearances by local celebrities like UW athletic director Barry Alvarez and former Packers president Bob Harlan.

Madayag, Katrin

Sports Hotline.(Sport)

Daily Record (Glasgow, Scotland) September 28, 2005 Byline: COLIN DUNCAN takes your calls IT’S a sad day when Rangers fans are hoping their own team lose but that’s how badly some sections of the Ibrox support want rid of under-fire boss Alex McLeish. Some reckon a heavy Champions League defeat to Inter Milan tonight would speed up Eck’s exit.

Peter Menzies, Helensburgh, said: “There’s no chance of Rangers beating Inter Milan so I’m hoping we get hammered by six or seven goals. That’s probably the only way we will get rid of our pathetic excuse for a manager. in our site ingrown toenail treatment

“If McLeish flukes another lucky result it will only delay the inevitable. He’s caused the fans enough suffering this season Duncan Montgomerie, Glasgow, said: “I was at Tynecastle on Saturday and left in a state of shock after witnessing yet another shambolic Rangers performance.

“Hearts were not even that good. They were well organised and disciplined – that’s all it takes to beat Rangers these days Norman Graham, Nottingham, said: “The majority of the Rangers squad are not bad players. It’s the manager who makes them look bad due to his lack of tactics and his tinkering with team selection Alan McGaw, Grangemouth, said: “I don’t know which is more painful – having an ingrown toenail removed or watching Rangers at the moment.

“McLeish must stop changing systems every five minutes and find a settled side before he gets the boot. If he keeps playing guys like Julien Rodriguez and Hamed Namouchi, he will be quickly out of a job Craig McMurdo, Ayr, said: “You wouldn’t send McLeish to the shops for a loaf and a pint of milk. The man is incompetent and there’s no way he should be trusted any longer as Rangers boss.

“Tactically naive, indecisive, a terrible judge of a player and with an excuse to cover every eventuality … need I go on?” However, Big Eck does have his backers. Gordon Berry, Greenock, said: “It’s time for the Rangers fans to get behind McLeish. “I’m convinced he will turn things around and I’m sure by the end of the season he will lead Rangers to at least two trophies. We are only eight games into the season and to call for his head just now is ludicrous.” Celtic boss Gordon Strachan is also getting some advice on team selection Hoops fan Jimmy Glancy, Dumfries, said: “It’s time Strachan played Chris Sutton up front and not in the middle of the park. He should also drop John Hartson because the big man just hasn’t been producing the goods this season.” Dundee United boss Gordon Chisholm also came under fire Bob Gowans, Newport on Tay, said: “Chisholm should do the fans a favour and follow Ian McCall out of the door. There’s only one way this club is going at the moment and that’s down. After watching them at East End Park on Saturday I’ve reached the end of my tether.’ Finally, Bill Whitehead, East Calder, said: “If the Celtic v Hearts clash is not going to be screened live on television, why don’t Hearts apply to the SFA for permission to beam the game back to Tynecastle There’s only one quote of the week ‘I don’t know what’s more painful – having an ingrown toenail removed or watching Rangers If it’s yours, you’ll win a bottle of Scottish Leader see here ingrown toenail treatment
