Kindle Fire Announced


Just yesterday Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced the release of their newest tablet, the Kindle Fire.
This new tablet has some pretty competitive features:
a low $199 price tag,
a super fast browser called Amazon Silk
access to tons of movies, music, apps, and books.
It has a 7 Inch touch screen
runs a resolution of 1024×600
14.6 ounces
Functions only over WI-FI
Now the Apple I-pad 2 with this same features costs a whopping $499!!! So you're really getting a steal here Amazon can offer to sell the kindle so low because most of their income is earned from their ebooks. The Kindle Touch is a pretty big step forward from the actual Kindle because now it's actually a tablet (Think I-pad)
Kindle Fire runs the Android OS which I'm definitely a fan of over the iOs. So far from the Kindle Touch Reviews I've read so far (keep in mind it was just released yesterday) it doesn't seem that Kindle Fire will have 4G capabilities. This is sort of a set back because having internet everywhere is definitely desirable I will keep you updated on this!
A new browser is going to be released for the Kindle Touch called "Amazon Silk" now silk SEEMS to
look very effective but the question is DOES it work!? I guess this is just one of those things
where we will have to wait and see but so far it looks extremely promising.
The Kindle Touch is comparable to the Barnes and Noble Nook, except you're really getting a lot more with the Kindle. Honestly the Kindle is two or even THREE times better. Not to mention the nook costs around $250 so you're getting more and definitely paying a lot less. So if you're comparing the Nook to the Kindle Touch it's a pretty easy choice the Kindle Touch has more to offer at a cheaper price.
Also we can't forget about the great Kindle Market, the online market will give users accessibility to movies, music, games, books and apps. This is pretty neat especially since Amazon is the best online store in the world. So I'm sure everything will be up to par and it will FAR surpass the iPod marketplace and the android marketplace. It should have plenty of juicy apps and things at release so that's something to look forward to!
Pretty excited about this product and will keep you guys up to date with the latest reviews!
Cheers guys,
Devinz
Cheers buds!

Getting the Most Out of Your IT Set Up

As a not for profit organisation, you will have lots on your mind. There are endless donor lists, causes, campaigns to be planned and much work to be done. All of this naturally needs the backing of a sound IT set up and, for this, good IT Support is absolutely essential. Most small, not for profit organisations feel that this is something they can easily work around. Hiring a part time IT professional, who may not be all that qualified, is what most places resort to; however, in the long run, this is not a good idea. When setting up a not for profit organisation it would be a good idea to start up strong. This way you will not have issues going forward. Rather than visit discount sales for hardware, speak to suppliers and see if they can give you quality products for a good price. This way you know you have good computers and hardware to begin with, remember the total cost of ownership is the primary consideration, the investment in getting equipment setup to your specific needs ...

LEDs Mature Into Solid-State Lighting Leader

Out of all the electricity generated in North America, lighting uses an estimated 20% (electric motors consume approximately 60%), unfortunately 99% of the general lighting uses outdated and inefficient lighting technology. LED has been used in accent lighting for almost a decade or more now, but only recently have advancements in SMD technology surface mount diodes proven that LEDs are the most efficient and safest lighting technology available. LEDs mature into solid-state lighting leader Solid-state lighting featuring SMD chips (surface mount diodes) are already in widespread use and new high brightness LEDs have taken SSL to the heights where it can replace traditional light sources indoors and out. Improvements in manufacturing are helping to deliver cost savings that will reduce the upfront capital investment when considering LED conversions. Enough mercury already Mercury is required for most energy-efficient lighting not for LED. While the world moves to reducing pol...
