I see I’m not the only one who remembers!
At post time, no word on changes by Amazon to its Kindle app, Barnes & Noble to its Nook app, or Kobo to its app.
Why are they all making their customers sweat like this?

Oh my god. This is soooo good.
You’ve got to see this, buy the DVD, demand it on Netflix and other video services.

Due to how much of the screen is cut off and my unfamiliarity with the Android versions of them, I don’t know which is shown first. This is all in Russian anyway but still worth a look:

I don’t know if he saw my original post today, where I wrote:
I keep having these visions of people a week later wondering where the hell the apps are for it [HP TouchPad].

Father of PlayStation retires in Sony management reshuffle
Meanwhile, Ken Kutaragi, the veteran engineer credited with overseeing the birth of PlayStation, has retired as Honorary Chairman of SCEI, retaining his role as senior technology adviser of Sony Corporation.
Kutaragi joined Sony in the 1970s and was heavily involved in the original iteration of the PlayStation – as a CD drive add-on for Nintendo’s SNES console. When Nintendo pulled out of the deal, Kuturagi masterminded the re-invention of the technology as a standalone console, effectively dragging Sony into the games industry.
He was president of SCEI until the end of 2006 when he was replaced by Kaz Hirai. Kutaragi briefly became chairman of SCEI until retiring from that role in controversial circumstances the following year. It has been suggested that his move to the non-executive position of honorary chairman was a form of punishment for the huge costs of developing and launching the PS3 console.

I thought maybe new models of the Reader were coming.

Update: An hour later, the Reader site (unchanged) and all of SonyStyle is back up.
