A human review of the Kindle Fire
“The Fire is an Android version, sort of, of the iPod Touch. It’s the first device available that’s inexpensive and offers Android in a somewhat reasonable package without a cellular contract.

Film Nerd 2.0: The heros journey ends with Return...
Whatever they expected Luke to do, it wasn’t the moment at the base of the landing ramp, finally removing Vader’s mask and helmet.
